When LE certs are renewed are they using the same type of validation again as when they are created?

(We're using certbot)

They should, yes.

sudo sed -i 's#(^DocumentRoot).*$#\1 "'$WWW_PATH/$APP_FOLDER'"#' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

I wonder if the capture group is actually worth it. You're just capturing the static "DocumentRoot".
It's much cleaner without it and less escaping and quoting.

sudo sed -i "s#^DocumentRoot.*$#DocumentRoot $WWW_PATH/$APP_FOLDER#" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Ah, it's the regexp.
OK, last chance:

sudo sed -i 's#^DocumentRoot.*$#DocumentRoot '$WWW_PATH/$APP_FOLDER# /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

That is the same as I have above, less the double quotes around the file path. Well and capture group

Have some nice cable management installed instead. You can have it painted as well.

This is what I did, and I wired the family room myself.

@Skyetel said in SIP Registration:

We have not decided if we want to include SIP Registration in our SLA or leave it as a "Best effort" service. (TBH, I'm leaning toward including it in the SLA)

Absolutely leave it best effort. Registration is a legacy idea IMO.

@Skyetel said in SIP Registration:

We have not decided on the Registration timeouts - some carriers enforce a full 1800 seconds and won't let you re-register faster than that. We're leaning toward a 6 minute Registration timeout, and providing guidance that you should re-register every 5 mins.

FreePBX and VitalPBX both default to 3600 seconds (1 hour). So going less than that will lead to support calls from "admins" that don't RTFM.

@Skyetel said in SIP Registration:

I'm interested in your gentle (cough Jared cough ) feedback.

@NetworkNerd said in Free / Cheap Unattended Remote Access Utility for Windows PCs:

I imagine no one here would risk running on the public MeshCentral server (don't think I would).

I would for home use if I did not already have my own infrastructure because work.

Like many people that have been encoding things for themselves for years, most of my library is using the h264 codec. Now that hevc/h265 is supported on almost everything, I want to reencode things.

Also new stuff I record is often still in h264 because I do not own anything that natively records to hevc yet.

As far as I know, the best tool for the job is ffmpeg as it has been for years.

Goals:

• Run a script against a directory
  • Will be running on Fedora 32/33
• have it recursively check all media files of type mkv, mp4, m4v, avi, or mov with ffprobe. It looks like this.

ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=codec_name -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 /home/jbusch/videos/Daerma/DaermaAdventures_2020-07-08.mkv
h264

• If the result is not hevc then execute ffmpeg to convert the file.
  • output as an mkv in a folder h265_converted while maintaining the original folder structure
• If the result is already hevc move to the folder h265_converted
• If the file name contains h264 or H264 change that to H265 or HEVC (haven't decided which is better)
  • The prename command works well for this with regex
• If the file name contains no identifier of the encoding type, append _H265 or _HEVC before the extension.

This is the ffmpeg command I'm using. I welcome suggestions, but it seems to work well for my needs.

fmpeg -hide_banner -i /home/jbusch/videos/Daerma/DaermaAdventures_2020-07-08.mkv -c:v hevc -preset medium -crf 28 -pix_fmt yuv420p10le -tag:v hvc1 -c:a copy /home/jbusch/videos/h265_converted/Daerma/DaermaAdventures_2020-07-08.mkv

@NetworkNerd

My MeshCentral VM is in Vultr.

Same here. Way better than AWS, Azure, or GCP for standard workloads like this.

Just for home use, it could likely sit in a free AWS Lightsail instance if it is small enough.

@JasGot The T46S is not even the low end of the T4 series. So that doesn't help you.

The T53 (not T53W) is the bottom of the T5 series and is very comparable to the T46S when it comes to buttons (8 vs 10). The real difference there is no color screen. According to a supplier, the T53 still has Bluetooth, but I have not verified that. Edit: just checked the Yealink site and no, it does not include BT.

So far the Fanvil X4U I purchased for testing is working well. I'll likely be quoting the X4 and X5 lines along with Yealink phones for customers going forward.

The only problem I ever had with Fanvil was the lack of official support.

Had to switch back to Cinnamon from Deepin - dock issues!

I am giving Gnome (the default) a go. Been a few weeks now on my laptop.

A couple of Gnome plugins related to the status bar and I’m good to go.

I’ve worked out the only major issue I found so far. Which was really not major. Just Flameshot would not work right.

I feel your pain with Flameshot, but I've got to where I just use the built-in screenshot utility for Gnome.

I need the built in editing options. I do a lot of markup as I screenshot.

I really need to do a clean reinstall, I've been upgrading since F26.

Do you use it mixed with other OS's as to what each situation calls for?

How many desktops do you have? Do you switch desktops based on each situation?

Sorry I meant server set ups.

The RHEL ecosystem has always been my preferred ecosystem.

Long before there was ever an Ubuntu. Also Ubuntu sucks.

If I am required to use Ubuntu by some application, I will attempt to use Debian instead.

@Jimmy9008 said in What makes a system HCI?:

if the system does not do the above, does that mean the system is not HCI?

No, one does not mean that the other HCI solutions aren't HCI. It just means that the tooling isn't there / included.

Different HCI solutions can have different features.

Ok gotcha. Thats what I suspected. I do see the value of such solutions, but I am trying to understand why my teams are arguing one solution is HCI, and the other is not. Where the only real difference is this tooling.

HCI is all about the tooling. Without the full stack tooling, it cannot really be HCI. Just cobbled together pieces of hardware that might mimic HCI.

@Pete-S said in Windows DC reverted to old snapshot trying to finalize replica failover:

I know nothing about hyper-v

This is obvious, based on this next bit.

@Pete-S said in Windows DC reverted to old snapshot trying to finalize replica failover:

but don't you have a local admin account

Yes

@Pete-S said in Windows DC reverted to old snapshot trying to finalize replica failover:

you can use?

No

FYI, a bit jealous of you not even needing to know this.

So, because Veeam reapplied the old snapshot, everything between then and now was lost.

If I keep the old snaphot as current, all the systems have domain trust failure.
I have a backup and there is only a single shared folder on here that will need restored.

Because this site is only 20 Windows computers, and I wanted to stop wasting time after 2 hours, I went brute force.

I disjoined everything from the domain and rejoined them.
With that resolved, I restored the C:\shares folder on the DC from the last Veeam backup.
Site is now working again.
Veeam's replication is now also in the correct state to fall back the replica to the main hyper-v server.

Not fucking touching that tonight.. I R DUN.

Edit: Maybe not the perfectly correct answer, but the answer I went with.

@scottalanmiller said in P2V: Fedora 33 desktop to KVM vm:

The tools that manage KVM are unrelated to the P2V tools.

You could have answered his original question then, and not something irrelevant.

He asked how to P2V, not how to manage.
