Thanks guys I'll take a look once I'm free, dad duties have me tied up

@dafyre said in Looking for a NC host for an Open Source project:

If you still need a place, I've got a NextCloud server that can host it.

I may take you up on it in a bit, still working with @travisdh1 to see what might be going on with his system.

If you'd like to grab the existing file and drop it into your NC instance though the link is here - direct download

@IRJ said in Jared - OBS:

Can you take already recorded video and slow the framerate down with OBS?

Not with obs, no. You'd do this is a video editing software. Not the capture software.

This has been helpful - I've managed to edit the file, and after making a backup, and editing it down to clear out the garbage.

It's a history, clearing stuff out doesn't really make sense.

It does if he wants to document a process to getting something to work and only having valid commands visible.

If he had a typo or whatever else, leaving that in the history could cause issues later.

You can readily migrate exchange to office 365, large files on the otherhand are always an issue as they would need to be downloaded to the workstation for each edit.

You could use OneDrive as a means to sync files locally and to the cloud, but that generally means keeping files on workstations.

So far I've seen a heavy mix of cloud for non-file share services and on-premise for file sharing that gets backed up to cloud.

I got it sorted out, the rule did work, but the firewall wasn't forwarding port 80 to the target host.

I was wondering why it worked from inside the lan, but not from the WAN. Anyways it's working now.

@travisdh1 what issue are you referring too? As far as I recall everything that is needed is included in the appropriate script install/upgrade

It's git, not the scripts. Since you need to have your git user information entered for it to work, would be good to have it added to the instructions.

I don't understand. Do you have to have a github account and be logged in to be able to download anything from github?

I can reach this without being logged in:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_installer/master/xo_install.sh

No you don't have to actually have an account, it's a git requirement to put something in there though and we don't autofill that information in case someone wants to supply their account details.

choco install office365proplus is what I've always used

@Dashrender actually it would mean someone made business technical decisions.

Thanks a ton @manxam!

There are a few issues that haven't been really vetted.

You mention that these servers run a custom software that allows access to the the data. This is fine, so long as you can virtualize the existing physical servers and run them as virtual machines.

• The big if being that there isn't some custom hardware that doesn't support virtualization

The next question to be raised is if they were hit with a virus, how would virtualizing these systems fix this issue? Virtualizing offers many features, including the easing recovery from such events, but that doesn't make the system more secure from viruses.

• Are these systems going to be air-gapped from the rest of the world?

Last you've asked what hypervisor should be used, there are a plethora of them.

• ProxMox is a full management stack and hypervisor in one.
• XCP-Ng is another, that you'd then optionally install XenOrchestra (likely by "building it yourself" or using my github script).
• You could of course install Hyper-V and use Hyper-V manager as well (another totally free Hypervisor and management solution, albeit backups aren't included)

I believe ProxMox is locally managed only (meaning you'd need to be on the LAN). If you're performing any maintenance for the client in the end, this may be an issue.

XCP-Ng can be managed from XenOrchestra which can* hosted in a cloud environment easily and securely.

Hyper-V has no such option as far as I'm aware.

You also mentioned TB's of storage, virtualizing a physical server does nothing to reduce the amount of storage the system is using or has allocated. You're just changing where and how the storage is presented.

I'm assuming these servers likely have hardware or software RAID, converting these VMs for this may be a bit more tricky due to this.

@scottalanmiller this is the ONLY way I make any money Scott, WTH calling me out on my BS?!

I just confirmed, this system is only using the Intel controller, and not SS.

@Dashrender this worked to at least get me the username, fortunately we did have a password that worked so I'm logged in.

Thanks

Posting for someone else.

The issue is that we need to create a GPO that will create and execute a scheduled task on target servers which is just running a batch script with administrative rights to make the required changes.

Creating the GPO for this is straight-forward enough but the task never appears in task scheduler on the target and the changes don't appear on the target either.

Looking for some assistance

What is the current hardware recommendation for trying to extend a wireless signal to a remote location over a point to point?

So 2 Nanobeam AC's one for each side and then an AP for the outbuilding itself.

Or you know, just install google chrome with yum install google-chrome lol. . .

Mine is mantel mounted.

But you stand to watch!

Mostly, yes. I try not to be so sedentary and just sitting on the couch.

I don't understand.. so you gain a bit by standing instead of sitting - but what? just standing in the middle of the room, or off to one side?

My wife hates it when I'm standing watching TV, if she can see me standing she feels like I'm lording over her, even if I'm 15 feet away...

Lord harder than, your subjects aren't supposed to be allowed to complain!

I find myself using Fedora's Media Writer, it's quick and simple.

But good guide @Pete-S
