@guyinpv I had similar issues with certain USB dongle, on Intel USB controllers, after upgrading to Windows 10. I had a PCIE USB controller lying around, non-Intel chip, and that allowed me to install drivers. If you have a spare controller, it's worth a try.

@DustinB3403 you need to source .bash_profile after changing it, so bash picks up modified file. Either

source ~/.bash_profile

or

. ~/.bash_profile

What happens if you set system time to date before cert expiration and try to install it then?

Docker CE and ZFS on Linux repos are not updated for f29 either

@DustinB3403 Ok, script fails because brew installation is waiting for input. If you run it directly, it'll ask you to press return to continue. Try changing it like so:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" </dev/null

@DustinB3403 I just ran that if part of the script, and it runs fine.

@DustinB3403 but why do you have admin there twice? It's a list of users, separated by comma, what you're doing is setting privileges for admin user, and then for admin user again. It doesn't make much sense.

@DustinB3403 I'd try eliminating the problem line by line, or at least by sections. You also have admin user listed twice in kickstart line, fix that too.

Remove / at the end of dockutil lines. Is there any chance this script was written on Windows machine? Perhaps EOL needs converting from Windows CR LF to unix LF.

What happens if you change shebang to /bin/bash?

@DustinB3403 See this:

https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-homebrew

it's a rather complex role, and it covers complete brew installation, clearing cache and the whole nine yards. If you want to retry it, add following parameters to Cask task, in main.yml file

retries: 2
delay: 5
register: result
until: result.rc == 0

so it looks like this

# Cask.
- name: Install configured cask applications.
  homebrew_cask:
    name: "{{ item }}"
    state: present
    install_options: "appdir={{ homebrew_cask_appdir }}"
    accept_external_apps: "{{ homebrew_cask_accept_external_apps }}"
  with_items: "{{ homebrew_cask_apps }}"
  retries: 2
  delay: 5
  register: result
  until: result.rc == 0
  notify:
    - Clear homebrew cache

You might have to adjust delay, but that should do the trick.

@DustinB3403 With Ansible for example, there's a module for brew package installation, and you can specify task to retry until you get desired result.

Delete cached packages in ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/ - this will also wipe plain brew package cache, if you want to limit this to cask, then delete just content of Cask subfolder. That usually solves all installation problems for me.

I've been battling with VPN on Windows 10 ever since the latter came out. And if you do a quick google search, you'll find thousands with all kind of VPN issues on 10. Here's the only thing that worked so far, and I only discovered it yesterday.

In registry, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PolicyAgent, then add AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule DWORD key, and change value to 2 and reboot.

@travisdh1 GSuite Business is $10 per user, and they don't enforce 5 user min to get unlimited storage, so you just need 1. I have 24TB, plus a few random USB drives floating around, probably around 40TB right now.

Can you put reverse proxy in front of that appliance and automate certs on proxy?

Hmm, perhaps. I didn't think of that, but there are other services besides https that the proxy would need to pass through to the server then. Is that possible? Users would access the https stuff over web browser, but agents on their computers would be trying to connect to the same server.domain.com over some custom port, lets say 52274 for example.

Yes, it can be done, with Nginx for example.

Can you put reverse proxy in front of that appliance and automate certs on proxy?

I'm planning to migrate my media server running Plex, Sonarr, Radarr and few other apps on FreeBSD to Linux box but isolating each app into Docker containers. Is anyone running their setup in similar configuration?

I'm also planning on slowly moving from local storage to Google Drive, you just can't beat $10/mo for unlimited storage. Does anyone have experience with streaming from GDrive and if it's smooth without buffering? I have gigabit internet, so bandwidth is not an issue, latency is the unknown here.

@aaronstuder said in Install Chocolatey on all Domains Computers PS:

How fast does chocolatey get update for things like Adobe Flash?

Probably faster that if you did it manually. It depends on maintainer, but most popular packages are updated quickly.

@dbeato said in Install Chocolatey on all Domains Computers PS:

If you have more efficient ways, please let me know.

I use Ansible to install Chocolatey on windows machines. You need to set them up so Ansible can manage them, it's a well documented process though. Ansible docs have all the info for that. Now any playbook or role that invokes win_chocolatey module will install Chocolatey if missing. Here's a sample:

---
- hosts: all
  tasks:
  - name: Upgrade all software
    win_chocolatey:
      name: all
      state: latest

Also is 32GB of RAM seriously useful if you don't run VM's locally?

Never. I've never, not once, seen anyone use remotely close to the amount of RAM they think they need (who doesn't run multiple VMs). It's always a waste of money when someone wants tens of gigs of RAM... 20 or 30gb plus. Even in the teens.

For example, we have some serious drafters and programmers who swear they need lots of RAM, but I've never seen usage go past like 8 to 10 or so GB.

I do hit 16GB I have in work PC occasionally, with Photoshop, Indesign and gazillion tabs in Google Chrome. I can imagine crossing 20GB, perhaps even getting close to 30GB.
