Plus why the oversized patch panels?! We have 48-port ones that are 1u, why do you have 24 ports that are 2u

Fixing that tomorrow!

Cable ladder down the wall, velcro to that in nice neat runs.

Link?

@dafyre said:

What was the problem?

Yes, please do tell

@Jason That look really nice!

I will never have that much cable.

For example, I just setup OwnCloud on Vultr

Do I need you back it up? or am I over thinking it?

Is backup Vultr's job or mine? Should I trust my provider?

@wrx7m

@wrx7m because there not listed anymore

@wrx7m use my link!

@wrx7m Thanks!

@wrx7m said:

Is anyone using the applications method for owncloud deployment, or are you all just using a Linux instance and installing owncloud manually?

Manually because I want CentOS 7

@scottalanmiller said:

NTG already had a talk and management approved leaving ownCloud because we can't trust they anymore.

What are you moving to? There are no good alternatives.

Backups are stored in the same datacenter as the original instance on a separate fault tolerant storage system.

https://www.vultr.com/docs/vps-automatic-backups

Not quite the backup I was hoping for

Different Storage = Good

Same Datacenter = Bad.

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

The goal of this guide is to install OwnCloud 9 using OwnCloud's best practices, and recommended software.

I will do my best to make sure it's secure as possible.

Credit goes to @JaredBusch and @scottalanmiller for there guides provided me a roadmap.

First, we will update our fresh install

yum -y update

Now install packages:

yum -y install wget mariadb-server php-mysql httpd epel-release wget

Install REMI Repository

wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-7.rpm

Enable REMI repository

Edit file remi.repo,

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo

Find the line enabled =0 and change it to 1 to enable REMI repository and PHP 5.6 for CentOS7

[...]
enabled=1
[...]

Save and close the file.

Install owncloud

rpm --import https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/CentOS_7/repodata/repomd.xml.key
wget http://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/CentOS_7/ce:stable.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/ce:stable.repo
setenforce permissive #is this needed?
yum clean expire-cache
yum -y install owncloud

Now enable the services:

systemctl start httpd
systemctl enable httpd
systemctl start mariadb
systemctl enable mariadb

Placeholder

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/owncloud
chown -R apache:apache /data

Firewall Rules
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=http/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=https/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload

Make a data dir

mkdir /data

mysql_secure_installation

<output>

Sign in to the database and create the ownCloud instance and user.

mysql -uroot -p

You will then be prompted to enter your database root password.

Now you will run 4 SQL commands, please note the ; at the end of each. It is a required part of the SQL syntax . These are simplified defaults, I would generally recommend you set them to something a little less obvious just to help with security.

create database ownclouddb;
create user 'ownclouduser'@'localhost' identified by 'ownclouduserpassword';
grant all on ownclouddb.* to 'ownclouduse'@'localhost';
flush privileges;
quit

@johnhooks Funny thing is you could like host a few dozen small sites with the same resources.

@johnhooks said

I know Ubuntu 15.10 is systemd, CentOS 7 is also systemd. So if you run a CentOS 7 host you can run Ubuntu 15.10 containers (what I'm doing for my XO container).

I will be using Ubuntu as the host. CentOS7 as the guest

Nothing special needed to POE right?

@scottalanmiller

What is a VDR? VDR stands for Virtual Dedicated Resources. Unlike a standard VPS package, you can split the resources you pay for into as many servers of any size you want. (Per VPS Limits HERE)

Have 12GB of RAM? You can create

• 1 x 12GB server with 4IPs
• 3 x 4GB servers with 1 IP each and 2 with 2 IPs
• 1 x 6GB + 2 x 3GB servers

The combinations are endless
