Looking at Zoho One we're actually thinking about going all-in for real. Zoho One is a subscription that gives you access to almost everything Zoho has - Mail, Workdrive, CRM, Desk, Projects, etc, etc. It's $30 per month for every employee.

We've looked at it, but the price just doesn't work for us. Even if we bought every tool that every person would ever use, we don't have a single user who comes up to the $30/mo price. Most are in the $3 range, so the gap is huge.

Our core users are mail, workdrive, and connect. Beyond that, everything is unique to a role.

Yes, I think it hard to come up in price for the common cheaper services and only makes sense when you have a high percentage of your workforce on one of the more costly things like Zoho Desk or Zoho CRM.

The enterprise edition of Zoho CRM for instance is $35 per month. Enterprise edition of Zoho Desk is also the same price.

Home PBX

I was definitely considering setting up a home PBX but I don't know if I want to subscribe to any actual phone numbers

You can learn a lot without doing that. Although voip.ms makes it SO cheap.

And you can make calls without buying a phone number at all. Just pay per use.

What option is that? I don't recall seeing that (granted this was some time ago)

VoIP.ms has never required purchasing a number to have an account and setup a trunk.

You simply have no way to receive calls from the PSTN.

Ah.

Logging, like Graylog2?

This. Maybe Sexilog.

Interesting package. can it easily monitor more then VMWare? Or did they only setup listeners for VMWare?

Only VMware last time that I looked at it.

Windows, Veeam, SNMP and more.

For those who were still having problems getting Mattermost running on CentOS 7, I was also having the same problems and couldn't get beyond the postgres install. I found another guide and with a few tweaks, I was able to get this running.

https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/install-mattermost-with-postgresql-and-nginx-on-centos7/

The change that was required from this guide was in the "Download and Extract Mattermost"

Instead of...
[root@mattermost ~]# wget -q "https://github.com/mattermost/platform/releases/download/v2.0.0/mattermost.tar.gz" -O mattermost.tar.gz

Use this...
wget https://releases.mattermost.com/3.3.0/mattermost-team-3.3.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Then in the next block, instead of...
tar -xvzf mattermost.tar.gz

Use this...
tar -xvzf mattermost-team-3.3.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz

After that, follow the guide to the letter and it will get you to this...

Updated as I figured out where things have moved away from the documentation that I had. The five minute install video is for Stacki 1.x and they have changed quite a bit at the core so that is why the video does not reflect the needs of the current installer. Avoid the StackiQ video for installation.

Ah, I've not done that, that would explain why I had not seen it in that light.

@scottalanmiller said in Linux Lab Project: Building a Linux Jump Box:

First you would create users and SSH keys and then deploy them to the other boxes that you wish to connect to. This is the core of what makes the Jump Box a Jump Box. This is standard SSH key setup, nothing unique to a Jump Box.

Did you ever make a good write up on creating users and SSH keys? If so, I cannot find it.

I mean, I know how to make and use keys in general. But detail here would be good.

Write up for creating the users on the jump box and getting their SSH keys. Write up for pushing users and keys to other systems that said jump box will be allowing access. Write up for control of said access. Bob and Jill have access to Jump Box. Bob has Access to servers 1 & 2. Jill has access to server 2 & 3.

I know that @scottalanmiller has mentioned in another thread that he has a script to push this all out (question 2). I can only assume that the script has some controls to tell you which server so shove the key and user logon to (question 3).

I thought that screen looked familiar, lol.

Now to make our first organization, we will make a test one to get started.

chef-server-ctl org-create SHORTNAME LONGNAME --association_user USERNAME -f filename

That's the format, here is a real command:

chef-server-ctl org-create test "Chef Testing NonProd" --association_user scott -f scott.pem

Ever heard of this site called Youtube? I think they have most of this stuff for free.

Not so much - and more than. Some of it is getting the parts list needed.

I've ripped YouTube videos to watch offline.

We're upgrading from Epicor 9 to 10 and implementing RemoteApp for users at our remote sites at the same time. Woohoo!

That's 5 new servers on Server 2012 (1 SQL 2012, 3 Epicor application servers, and 1 RDS server).

WOOHOO!
