@StuartJordan said in dbeato why are you migrating from Hyper-V to XCP-ng:

could be for the reason that Xenserver has changed how features work and is more restricted now.

Citrix changing their license is their choice. I get the reasons for many people dumping it.

@StuartJordan said in dbeato why are you migrating from Hyper-V to XCP-ng:

XCP-NG is Xenserver without anything disabled.

This is wrong, XCP-ng is the last open source version of XenServer, with numerous changes that are not at all in XenServer. It is it's own product now.

I perhaps worded that wrong, yeah it is a separate product now but it's original code base was from Xenserver.
And they did disable features in 7.3

I see you got dual threads on this....

Separate threads for separate conversations with separate people.

Ah I See ,fair enough

Don't see why it matters? Use whatever Hypervisor as long as it's stable and being updated don't see what the issue is?

It's a question, since @Dashrender mentioned he migrated away from XenServer to Hyper-V. And to have a discussion on why he decided to go that route.

Waiting in line to get gas at Costco.

That's very British of you. Getting in a queue just to get in a queue.

Haha, us British love queuing...I personally get grumpy queuing though

That reminds me, time to make a brew..

Congrats to all of you at NTG

I know the company is frowned here but I Was using Proxmox earlier that a client has, not going to lie, I loved using the interface....

took ages to figure out why packets were dropping in pfsense. I could use ICMP but everything else was dropping. One setting I had to change was "Advanced > Disable Hardware Checksum offload".....man, one checkbox and all is working correctly, what a nightmare lol.

Realtek network card or your pfsense is a VM?

Yep pfsense is a VM

@gjacobse said in Install OpenSupports on Fedora 29:

I'll take your word for it. But - software evolves. Maybe this one will also. Every version comes with improvements and errors... well at least generally...

Definitely true, and one glaring missing feature (allow email for ticket creation) is supposedly scheduled for the next release. But still a lot of features not there.

I would say the email for ticket is quite an important feature of any ticketing product. The interface is nice though Jared.

Some type of allowed domain white list is quite handy as well, because you will get loads of crap ticket entries otherwise.

I like the features you get with Zimbra, like shared mailboxes, calendars etc. A feature comparison would be good between Zimbra and Mailcow.

@scottalanmiller said in Building a Mail Server:

I just realized that the MXRoute guys are semi-local to us here in the DFW.

I'm not aware of their product to be fair. You have been getting on ok with Zimbra though haven't you? Have you tried Mailcow yet?

@scottalanmiller if you already have the knowledge to manage and have decent infrastructure, then I see no problem using Zimbra. The average Joe IT manager who hasn't touched Linux, then I'd say no...

In fact your uptime has probably been more than 365 with their recent downtimes lol.

@Francesco-Provino said in Building a Mail Server:

@mroth911 I don't consider self-hosted email as a viable and cost-effective alternative anymore.
My advice is to go with a managed service like G Suite or O365, like everyone else is doing. Consider mail like any other istante messaging like Whatsapp and Telegram, just like a service. If you can't spend 3-4€/month per user, ehm... maybe you have other issues.

I do agree, most companies should go to 365, especially at the current cost it is. It would not surprise me that microsoft will raise the costs a considerable amount more per user within time though.
G suite have raised their prices which is more than 365, which was a stupid move, who would choose G suite over 365, it's crap in comparison.

@Curtis said in Building a Mail Server:

@scottalanmiller you should checkout mailcow. I think you would be pleasantly surprised

I have, and it looks really nice. It's in our plans to do a full scale test, highly considering moving to it. Everything about it seems to fit our usage cases really well. Zimbra has a few features that it is lacking, but none are ones that we use. So we don't care

What are the main feature differences you can think of?

no problem. was just an Idea.
