      In terms of the gateway feature, is it Linux connector + bridged mode?

      That is supposed to be the way it works, but I haven't been able to get it to work like that. 😞

      If I want it as a "gateway", I just set it up as a router, and add static routes on the physical routers on each site.

      i'm just reading about MangoDB
      http://www.tutorialspoint.com/mongodb/mongodb_overview.htm

      do you know a good documentation about this ?? or the above link is good ??

      We are recording this conversation on MongoDB 🙂 If you search for MongoDB in titles in MangoLassi, you will find that I wrote up an install guide for it last week 🙂

      MongoDB's own website is pretty decent for getting you started. However, you don't need to learn the database to use it. Many frameworks, like Meteor, use it by default and everything that you need to interact with it is built in. So you can focus on programming, instead of on designing databases.

      In the event that you do try Meteor.js and your colleague doesn't like it, there is a PHP library for MongoDB as well.

      No no no...I mean headbutt them instead of concrete...

      Or introduce their head to the concrete instead of yours... Though they might not appreciate that any.

      Looking for reputable refurbished server vendors. Love @Xbyte for Dell refurbished (bought 2 from them so far no issues!), now looking for others for namely HP (HPE now) and possibly "white box" or SuperMicro. Seem's ServerMonkey is OK, anyone else we should look at?.

      If you've had good luck with XByte & Dell... why are you poking around the others?? (Just curious)

    • RE: Trueability Testing

      @antonit said:

      @dafyre Yeah, it was pretty intense. It really digs deep to see if you have the knowledge needed. I just did a test on my own accord and was given the following:

      Apache Self Assess

      101: Baseline Implementation
      Installation and Global Configuration

      • Install the Apache HTTPD Webserver via the distro's packaging system (yum/apt)
      • Ensure that the following modules are installed and enabled:
        • Mod Rewrite
        • Mod SSL
      • Configure the server admin email address (globally) [email protected]
      • Configure the server so that its signature is displayed on server-generated pages (such as 500 Internal Server Error), and that it also includes the server admin's email address in the signature.
      • Enable the server status page at http://localhost/server-statusaccessible only by the host 127.0.0.1
        Users, Groups, and Files
      • Create the system group webadmin
      • Create the system user don.draper with the following credentials:
        • Password: IXnMe2Fp
        • Home Directory: /home/don.draper
        • Primary Group: don.draper
        • Secondary Group: webadmin
      • Create the system user peggy.olson:
        • Password: 3Hx1M8aS
        • Home Directory: /home/peggy.olson
        • Primary Group: peggy.olson
        • Secondary Group: webadmin
      • Create the directory /var/www/vhosts, with the following ownership and permissions:
        • User Ownership / Permissions: root / Read, Write, and Execute
        • Group Ownership / Permissions: webadmin / Read, Write, and Execute.
        • Other Permissions: Everyone should have Read, and Execute permissions.
      • All future files and directories created in the /var/www/vhosts directory should automatically inherit the same group ownership of webadmin.
        Virtual Hosts
        Configure the web server for the following virtual hosts, and specifications.
        VirtualHost 1
      • Server Name: site1.104.239.228.184.xip.io
      • Document Root: /var/www/vhosts/site1/htdocs
      • Access Log: /var/www/vhosts/site1/logs/access.log
      • Error Log: /var/www/vhosts/site1/logs/error.log
      • Copy the content of this virtual host from /root/files/site1 to the document root
        Ensure that the proper content is returned when this site is accessed athttp://site1.104.239.228.184.xip.io, and there are no errors in the logs.
        VirtualHost 2
      • Server Name: site2.104.239.228.184.xip.io
      • The virtual host should also respond to the following aliases:
        • www.site2.104.239.228.184.xip.io
        • web.site2.104.239.228.184.xip.io
      • Document Root: /var/www/vhosts/site2/htdocs
      • Access Log: /var/www/vhosts/site2/logs/access.log
      • Error Log: /var/www/vhosts/site2/logs/error.log
      • Copy the content of this virtual host from /root/files/site2 to the document root
      • Configure Apache with any necessary PHP modules required for the site
        Ensure that the proper content is returned when this site is accessed athttp://site2.104.239.228.184.xip.io, that the aliases for www and webreturn the proper content, and there are no errors in the logs.
        VirtualHost 3
      • Document Root: /var/www/vhosts/site3/htdocs
      • Access Log: /var/www/vhosts/site3/logs/access.log for HTTP and/var/www/vhosts/site3/logs/ssl_access.log for HTTPS
      • Error Log: /var/www/vhosts/site3/logs/error.log for HTTP and/var/www/vhosts/site3/logs/ssl_error.log for HTTPS
      • Copy the content of this virtual host from /root/files/site3 to the document root
      • Restrict access to this site with HTTP Basic Auth, with the user namewebadmin and password 4v2JaLuQ
      • Configure the document root so that a directory listing is displayed in the browser, rather than an index page.
      • Configure this site to respond on both HTTP, and HTTPS standard ports, however all traffic that comes through over HTTP must be redirected to the HTTPS virtual host. Any self-signed certificate will do.
        Ensure that the proper content is returned when this site is accessed athttps://site3.104.239.228.184.xip.io and that the traffic is redirected when accessing http://site3.104.239.228.184.xip.io. No content should be returned without proper authentication as mentioned above, and there are no errors in the logs.

      Was given 3 hours to finish, and unfortunately I did not. Looks like I have some studying to do 😛

      Yeah, that sounds like the site I was on. It's cool, because you can use any tool at your disposal to help you get things done. Google is your friend, lol.

      Doing a bunch of LetsEncrypt stuff this week. Haven't had a chance to be playing with it. Have it in some scripts now. So easy to use.

      I setup a bunch of certs for my personal stuff right after public beta opened. But since that was all on CentOS with Nginx it was not (and is still not) fully supported with the default client for full automagic config.

      Was still a snap to setup though.

      I found a way to hijink Nginx into working with Lets encrypt automagically. I can post the config sections if you want.

      Heck they didn't even get paid very early on. You just did it because you felt it was your civic duty.

      Yes, which worked for a whole two presidents before the first corrupt power monger got into power. It meant that only the rich elite had any chance of being in government, which isn't totally bad but isn't very good, either. Washington was one of the richest men in America - but much of his fortune was not from being a good businessman (he was not) but by marrying into money (he was truly American nobility) and then using the wars to grant himself massive estates, the largest in the nation. Not exactly how we want our politicians to be.

      John Adams was a working professional, one of the top lawyers in the nation. He took on an insane personal burden to be in politics and only could do it by being wealthy, owning a large farm and running his own legal practice that his fame helped to promote. This is more or less the best case.

      Jefferson was also ultra rich land baron that used the political office for personal gain.

      requiring people to be super rich as the foremost requirement for office doesn't work well.

      Is that not the case now? States require several thousand dollars to go on their state presidential ballot. Some states may allow you to submit a pauper's affidavit that will show you do not have the financial ability to pay such a fee. Then you need to advertise via local papers, town hall meetings, road trips, and TV ads, and everything you can do to get your name out in front of people so they can get an idea as to what you are all about.

      You will likely have to quit your job to go on the campaign trail as well, so there's all that. Your average Joe, even if they have a brilliant political mind simply cannot afford to run for president.

      Today it is all about corporate sponsorship. You don't need to be rich at all to do it.

      H aha ha. Good point. In that case, we should require NASCAR-like jackets, shirts, and ties for the candidates.

      It's known as a retirement area and it's pretty rural. I don't think there is much IT out there.

      That's how everyone describes Florida in general.

      As a Brit, can confirm - It's just full of Retired people except for like, 2 weeks of Spring Break stuff isn't it?

      Spring break to US locations is rather sad. Anyone who can goes outside the country.

      TBH I don't even know what Spring break actually is...I assume its a school holiday where everyone just gets wasted...but that's just from watching american teen films etc..?

      It's a new thing since I was in college. People didn't really do it then, it was just starting to be an idea. Spring break is a break in the winter (um.. what?) that in recent years has turned into college students going to cheap foreign beach locations in huge masses to get totally wasted where they would be underage to drink in the US since college students can't drink in the US (creating the massive alcoholism and binge drinking problems known in the US and unknown elsewhere.)

      So...you can legally buy a rifle before you can drink yeah..?

      I tihnk so. It may vary by state. But I know in Georgia, you can buy a rifle / handgun at 18.

    • RE: Linux Thin Clients

      @wirestyle22 said:

      Licensing counteracts any savings with Windows but what is the deal with Linux thin clients? I have client computer labs that are low priority machines that need higher security for web browsing. Thin/Zero Clients seem like a really good money saving opportunity for this situation...or is it?

      Also, what thin/zero client computer do you recommend purchasing? We currently spend about $1100 per workstation but it shouldn't be one type of desktop for all purposes. These computers would only be used for basic web browsing. I'd like to save a ton of money here and take those more expensive computers for use elsewhere.

      For basic web browsing, why not a Linux machine loaded with Chrome or Firefox that reverts all changes when it reboots?

      You could use pretty much any computer for that.

      Edit:

      You could also take a look at the Jide Remix Mini (http://www.jide.com/en/mini)... I've got the tablet, and it rocks.

    • RE: ZeroTier + Active Directory Authentication

      One possible solution, if you are going to use ZT... Is you will need to install ZT on at least one domain controller...

      On this domain controller, you should:

      1. Set the ZT Adapter to use DHCP for the IPv4 Address and DNS settings, and the OK back out.
      2. Set the ZT Adapter to not register in DNS
      3. Check DNS and remove the ZT Adapter IP address.

      On the Client Machines, you should:

      1. Set the ZT Adapter to use DHCP for the IPv4 Address and DNS settings, and the OK back out.
      2. Set the ZT Adapter to not register in DNS
      3. Check DNS and remove the ZT Adapter IP address.
        4) Modify the C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to add an entry for the DC and its ZT IP address.

      Depending on the number of clients you have, that seems to be a feasible set of instructions.
