We should get one! 😄

No!!!! spend enough bloody time on the forum (and SW)

I downloaded the wrong package, and now I feel stupid 😢

The 64 bit package works fine.....

How does filebeat compare for how it is used?

I'm not done building yet so I can't say. Here's what they say the changes are,

Filebeat introduces the following major changes:

The config file was restructured and converted from JSON to YAML.
The registry file, which stores the state of the currently read files, was changed.
Command line options were removed and moved to the configuration file.
Configuration options for outputs are now inherited from libbeat. For details, see the Beats Platform Reference.
A new Logstash input plugin called logstash-input-beats is required.

It doesn't seem like you would notice a difference.

@scottalanmiller That's the whole reason I want DNS setup. I want to be able to SSH by hostname, not IP address, however I guess your right, maybe I just need to setup the host names on the jumpbox.

that's all that I do. Maintain the /etc/hosts file and I never run into a need to use IP Addresses since I don't SSH from random box to random box.

What are/were the limitations of free version? I have forgotten.

1TB of storage. I think that's counting amount of protected storage, but it's been long enough I forget for sure.

Edit: Works real well for me here, adding servers and services as I set them up. We've been using crashplan for file level storage for a long time, so I don't have much being pulled in by Unitrends currently.

Veeam support is now from India 😞

@DustinB3403 Thanks for your help! NFS is case sententive, it is mounted now! 😄

Everything outside of the Windows and DOS worlds is case sensitive. SMB, NFS, URLs, file names, passwords, usernames, everything.

Thats what bugs me about Linux ... I hate case sensitive things.

I'm the opposite, I can't stand that DOS can't tell two characters apart and has "close enough" syntax so that people become sloppy and begin to lose the concept of congruency. I remember dealing with a bunch of students and getting them to understand things like "This", "this" and "t h I s" were not congruent was a real problem. Windows teachers users that exact doesn't mean exact, not always.

I think that is why I like cisco's ios software... i don't have to type the full command... just enough to distinguish it from the other commands available.... I see the benefits of case sensitive, it just will take me a bit to get used to using it as I learn Linux.

@MattSpeller How?

I don't see one posted on their site actually.... very odd

Since it's a torrent it's probably included in the folder.

Yes. right here

really? you trust what's included? That doesn't seem very secure.

Of course. it is no different than trusting the website itself. Both could be hijacked if you are that paranoid about it.

Unitrends replication is a feature that is reserved for paid options. You can archive a copy of your local backups to a cloud target like Amazon S3 or similar, though.

I've only ever used their stuff to test. If I wanted to try something, but didn't feel like putting the effort into actually installing everything, I just download an image and run it.

I'm pretty sure they come default with webmin and some other junk also.

Not yet, in a year or two, I'd expect it to get there.

@DustinB3403 With CentOS I just install and go....

CentOS is super easy for general use. Ubuntu is very complex and hard for general use. They are not comparable.

It depends on what you are used to dealing with. I don't have ti disable apparmor to diagnose issues in Ubuntu. I do have to disable SELinux to test issues in the CentOS world. I am still more comfortable running a Ubuntu server than I am a CentOS box, but I haven't come up against anything a quick google usually doesn't fix.

The nice thing about SELinux is if you check /var/messages it usually tells you exactly what you need to do. Same on Fedora, the SELinux troubleshooting gui will pretty much give you commands to copy and paste.

Does anyone make a cheap raid card?

Inexpensive raid card no. Inexpensive HBA card, yes.

And I just checked to make sure no new plugin has been developed. It has not.

I'm making a new topic as I want to pick your brain on this in the SMB space.

Okay

I think these are just limitations of the templates. If you use the Other install media, I don't think you have these limitations. You can also create your own templates.

That would explain why I was not aware of them. I nearly always use other media.

I would say there is no "best" virtualization platform for home use if you want to use it as a tool to learn virtualization; rather, you should learn whatever you think you need to learn for what systems you're most likely to encounter.

That said, for a pure lab environment, ESXi allows "nested" virtualization, while Hyper-V does not. What that means is that in Hyper-V you can only have two tiers: bare metal and virtual; while in ESXi you can have multiple levels of VMs tiered on top of one another. In production this is something you would NEVER do, but for learning it's very easy to clone an entire "ready made" environment with multiple machines and have several of them running.

Conversely, with a Hyper-V environment you can experiment with some advanced features that would cost money to unlock in VMWare, like failover clustering, VM level backups, and virtual SAN.

Awesome!

@johnhooks Ah, well I never noticed it, I'm usually working on several things at once and might have missed it.
