Learning how to configure network settings on Ubuntu server.

Fun with /etc/network/interfaces file?

No. Files within /etc/netplan/. Doesn't look too tough; just something I have to become familiar.

netplan, that's new to me. Guess I have some brushing up to do.

Yeah, Netplan replaced ifupdown as the default configuration utility starting with Ubuntu 17.10 Artful.

I switched the default file system from ext4 to xfs.
With older versions I did experiment with changing the other default settings like swap and root partition size but that’s about it.

trying to understand Dreamweaver.

I used to use DW years ago, I got the hang of that ancient version. I don't read instructions so this new version is busting my head open. Old DW used to be great to create via wysiwyg, this version is a PITA.

Anyone know of a simple WYSIWYG html editor that an impatient old mongrel can come to grips with, in 10 minutes??

It doesn't matter to me, learn RHEL-based then Debian-based or Debian-based then RHEL-based. You'll end up using both anyway.

@travisdh1 said in how to push 3rd party software updates to domain clients?:

I prefer to use Chocolatey.

Salt and Ansible are good options as well, as @DustinB3403 already mentioned.

You can actually use use salt and ansible to manage chocolatey, which is cool.

@registry2021
You can via GPO.

I read pushing software via gpo is a pain. is there another way?

You can use tools like PDQ Deploy to deploy software/updates.

Interesting. I am trying to figure it out at the moment. It has something to do with the meshagent.update.exe getting stuck.

@pmoncho said in MeshCentral Updates:

FYI, Do not update to the current version (0.7.47) of Meshcentral today. Its having issues. About 90% of my systems cannot connect back.

I'm not noticing any issues and I've been on that version for awhile now.
