As I continue the leap into making my home smarter, would there by any interest in some tutorials on how to do so? I will be adding more devices and automations to my setup in the coming weeks.

Wink didn't meet my needs for home automation. I will be creating a thread on what I use, eventually.

@scottalanmiller I saw that too. I am wondering if I could just delete the folder in question and see if that helps.

Maybe, do a move, not a delete, in case you need to put it back.

Good idea! I moved the folder and it may have taken longer then normal, but it finally loaded again.

@scottalanmiller Thank you for the welcome. I found this community a while back but was also just hiding in the shadows. I have followed a lot of linux how-tos from here.

Decided to go with an ERL. Love it so far. Need to figure out how to work with it better.

@gjacobse you inspired me with this post. I created a python script to post my cpu temp from a remote pi to my home automation pi via mqtt.

@gjacobse I can create a separate topic of my setup. I've pieced together the needed information to make it work with my setup. Waiting on my hardware to get in so I can add more to my setup.

@scottalanmiller It took me 40 minutes from start to finish. I even added a 200GB lvm2. All done via cockpit. Nice job!

@scottalanmiller @Tim_G Thanks for the info. I will have a separate disk for the data. I will be using this guide to migrate from ubuntu to fedora.

@travisdh1 bs=4k is read and writes up to bytes at a time. Spinning off of yours, this is how I write mine.
sudo dd if=/home/user/Downloads/filename of=/dev/sdc bs=1M status=progress
status=progress gives you a nice little progress output without having to pipe it into anything.

I use the on prem version of Exclaimer. In combination with group policy, no more rogue signatures. Definitely recommend.

I will be giving this a go.

I got it installed on Debian 10. Needed to install "curl" before running their one liner.

@scottalanmiller said in The Skinny on Plex: How Are People Using It:

Anyone used Jellyfin?

It's not quite there yet. It's better than before. It as a lot more clients now. I'm piloting Plex, Emby and Jellyfin.

I run OMV and I've spent more time recovering from randoms crashes then using it. Moving away from it soon.

Works on Debian 10.

We are just ending this project. The solution they chose was Zerto. We have gear in a colo with an EPL that allows for replication in real time. In the event of a disaster. I enable networking on my vms, change external DNS and we are good to go.

@fuznutz04 I have cradlepoints at 13 locations, running on the Verizon network. They work okay for our smaller stores. They have saved me quite a few times with outages.

I will be testing this framework in the coming weeks, hopefully. https://getgophish.com/

Any special SELinux after words? I had some issues with plugins the first time around.

Not using any plugins. I've not needed any SELinux tweaks afterwards myself.

I setup ldap for my install. Does it make sense to use it?

If you are in an LDAP based environment (AD, OpenLDAP, 389 Directory Server, OpenDJ) then joining your ticketing or helpdesk system to it would make total sense. We are not an LDAP shop here, so have nothing to attach it to.

The only thing I don't like about it so far is that you have to create the account first and select the option to authenticate with ldap. I wish I could just login with my creds and it would automatically create the account. Unless doing something wrong.

Is this for end users or for the techs? Normally we would not want techs being created automatically by just being included in the LDAP list. I can only imagine that it does not work that way intentionally. If it did, it would be very necessary to have a way to disable it.

You can authenticate with staff and client. Probably makes sense to disable staff? I will be testing some more tomorrow.
