@black3dynamite said in Do we dislike Ubuntu: @nadnerb ElementaryOS is nice but you might not like the idea of not able to save items to your Desktop. Deepin is pretty good too. Just not on by default. You can enable it... http://www.fosslinux.com/141/how-to-enable-adding-files-and-folders-to-desktop-in-elementary-os-freya.htm

Kind of interesting, handy to have a simple way to get real RHEL, I guess.

Has potential, has anyone played with it in any way yet?

@hobbit666 said in Installing MS SQL Server 2017 Express on CentOS 7.4: This is cool, don't think management here would go for it. Too much of a M$ fanboy lol Just tell them that this is MS' big play for SQL Server. True fanbois would just on it

talking about number of packages, this has always been my reference: http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/ if a distro has it packaged it is quite sure they have anything both debian and suse have it.

We ran into this issue last week with several legacy applications we soon hope to commit to the bone yard...

@gjacobse said in Managing Multiple Linux Servers via the Browser with Cockpit: I haven't read the article yet,... but would be nice if it is available on Windows - However, that said. I can just set up a VM and run there.... I don't do a massive amount of managing Linux Servers, but sometimes it would be helpful.. Not even on most Linux yet.

Oops.

Just as a comparison, here's what it would look like with Ansible: name: Recursively own html files file: path: /var/www/html owner: apache group: apache state: directory recurse: yes

@matteo-nunziati said in Anacron Jobs on a CentOS 7 Server: @JaredBusch well never considered the workload on servers. I don't know how they manage it! maybe not so many use unattended upgraqdes in debian. I definitely feel like Ubuntu users don't keep their systems as up to date

/proc/version usually has pertinent information across most systems. Edit: I looked closer. It's just the OS name (RHEL/Ubuntu) and kernel version. Never mind.

So that is where we are now. A missing package, unclear documentation and yum unable to resolve dependencies for some of the remaining packages. As the support community showed no interest in Kopano being used in production and actually got angry that we wanted to, we decided to halt here. But there is the documentation in case anyone runs into this and wants to pursue it further.

Planning to test this out soon.

@thwr said in Fedora Server for production use?: @stacksofplates said in Fedora Server for production use?: @thwr said in Fedora Server for production use?: Interesting: Fedora 25 starts to panic with RAM < 512MB at the beginning of the kernel init phase, even in text mode. Just had a look at the manual which clearly says that Fedora requires 1GB of RAM. Looks like I'm out of luck and have to stick to Ubuntu / Debian. Another thing to note is with RHEL/CentOS 7.3 they recommend a 1GB boot partition instead of 512MB. Just an aside. Should work as long as you keep an eye on it. Ubuntu for example likes to keep old kernel and initrd images there until you clean them up (e.g. apt autoclean etc) Ya I usually keep 3 and remove the others but I think the images are getting big enough they needed to adjust the size. If you do anew install it defaults to 1GB.

@ghernandez said in Installing osTicket 1.10 on CentOS 7: I just wanted to say thank you very much for helping me on setting up the osticket. I have try with everything winserver 2012,ubuntu and nothing work correctly. until I finally try this with centos 7 and using the lastes osticket version 1.10.1 and it finally work for me with no issue. I would like thank everyone who inputed they smal grain on sand to make this happen. Awesome, glad that it worked. We have many osTicket users here. Myself, @Minion-Queen @pchiodo @gjacobse for example. It's a pretty nice product.

@stacksofplates said in Open Firewall Ports on CentOS 7 and RHEL 7: @coliver said in Open Firewall Ports on CentOS 7 and RHEL 7: @stacksofplates said in Open Firewall Ports on CentOS 7 and RHEL 7: @coliver said in Open Firewall Ports on CentOS 7 and RHEL 7: @scottalanmiller said in Open Firewall Ports on CentOS 7 and RHEL 7: @coliver said in Open Firewall Ports on CentOS 7 and RHEL 7: Did anyone ever figure out if there was a way to setup files for firewalld? Or was the XML service files the way to go? XML I think. That's what I was afraid of. We're using IPTables on all of our OEL7 servers right now but I think moving to the default firewalld may be a good idea. I'll have to look into the XML config and see how much more difficult, if at all, it is over the IPTables file. It's a shame we can't just copy a single file around anymore but the XML files probably won't be too much more difficult. Ya it's not bad at all. Here's the config from my Identity Management server. It's pretty similar to /etc/sysconfig/system-config-firewall on RHEL 6, just in zone specific XML files. <zone> <short>Public</short> <description>For use in public areas. You do not trust the other computers on networks to not harm your computer. Only selected incoming connections are accepted.</description> <service name="http"/> <service name="https"/> <service name="ntp"/> <service name="dhcpv6-client"/> <service name="kerberos"/> <service name="ldaps"/> <service name="ssh"/> <service name="dns"/> <service name="ldap"/> </zone> Those services are predefined right? You can also build your own services via the same process. Ya and you can define specific ports. I prob could have grabbed a better example. No, I think I've got it just need to investigate actually setting these up.

I'm running the same version on Ubuntu and mostly idle CPU utilization and disk usage here.

@scottalanmiller said in Installing Linux Malware Detect and ClamAV on CentOS 7: @travisdh1 said in Installing Linux Malware Detect and ClamAV on CentOS 7: Any reason to use LMD instead of or in addition to rkhunter? Doesn't rkhunter focus only on root kits? Mostly, but this was the first time I remember hearing about LMD.

@scottalanmiller Also, using just using the root domain name for the conf file name is potentially confusing depending on how much you are hosting. Even for my gaming website, I have a bunch of sub domains setup. www.daerma.com.conf goes to the root and www. oc.daerma.com.conf is owncloud obelisk.daerma.com.conf is my nodeBB forum That does not even get into what do you do about the ones that you have multiple TLD names for such as .it, .com, .org, etc.

I can't believe that they don't have a RHEL package at least!

@scottalanmiller said in Installing a Basic LAMP Stack on CentOS 7: @NashBrydges said in Installing a Basic LAMP Stack on CentOS 7: @scottalanmiller I haven't yet. About to give it a try. Stuck to legacy since that was what I was reading everywhere. Where is everywhere? Technet says to not use legacy. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/compute/hyper-v/supported-centos-and-red-hat-enterprise-linux-virtual-machines-on-hyper-v Legacy is a fallback driver that you never want to use, it's low performance and high overhead. If you needed that for CentOS, it would make Hyper-V a silly, non-production ready platform. But Hyper-V is a good, solid performer. Not only that, but I install all of my CentOS 7 VM's as Generation 2 when on Hyper-V they work perfectly with default settings for everything except secure boot. Uncheck secure boot. Everything else is 100% default settings.

Great job @scottalanmiller and welcome aboard! Hope you enjoyed the experience! Now if you want to play with it, I recommend you to use our CLI (http://docs.openio.io/cli-reference) or you can deploy our S3/Swift implementation (https://github.com/open-io/oio-sds/wiki/Install-Guide---OpenIO-Swift-S3-gateway). Feel free to send me some feedbacks, I'm here to help! Guillaume. Product Manager & Co-Founder @ OpenIO
