Installing Windows updates on a server to fix an issue with Outlook 2016 not forwarding attachments.

@scottalanmiller @Tim_G Thanks for the info. I will have a separate disk for the data. I will be using this guide to migrate from ubuntu to fedora.

Whats the best way to configure the data directory? Do I create a large VM or a separate disk mounted on the data folder?

@scottalanmiller any ideas how to change the maximum upload size from the web? Web interface says "missing permissions to edit from here"

Send me the error. I’ll get it scripted.

It's not some much of an error its a greyed out box in settings, under the file handling.

For SSL: how do we add LE to the mix or did I miss that part?

I was wondering that myself. I read the script before I ran it and I didn't see anything about the configuration commands.

Right now that’s done after.

Interesting, I am presented a certificate that I did not setup.

@scottalanmiller It took me 40 minutes from start to finish. I even added a 200GB lvm2. All done via cockpit. Nice job!

Awesome, thanks for testing it out. That's amazing.

I just did the Vultr based build using it as well, worked perfectly and only took maybe 15 minutes, I'd guess. But Vultr has updates already applied and you don't need to log in or do anything, so it is that much faster.

Now I just need to make the switch from an ubuntu instance to fedora at work and we will be all set.

NextCloud works fine on Ubuntu, too. But I certainly prefer it on Fedora. Especially with what a good job Fedora does with things like keeping PHP up to date.

I only used it because at the time it was the only guide that worked on the first shot.

Prerequisites for client

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
sudo pip3 install paho-mqtt

Python script:

#!/usr/bin/python3
#Imports
import time 
import os
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt 
import paho.mqtt.publish as publish

#Variable setups
broker = "IP Address MQTT Broker"
state_topic = "pi/cputemp" #Topic to publish commands too
delay = 1 #Time delay

#Fuction to return temp
def measure_temp():
    temp = os.popen("vcgencmd measure_temp").readline()
    return (temp.replace("temp=",""))

#MQTT connection setup
client = mqtt.Client()
client.username_pw_set("username", "password") #Login for broker
client.connect(broker)
client.loop_start()

#While loop for posting to MQTT
while True:
    print(measure_temp())
    time.sleep(1)
    cpu_temp = measure_temp()
    client.publish("pi/cputemp", str(cpu_temp))
    time.sleep(delay)

@gjacobse I like full control so I'll post the way I set mine up. There is other ways to do it but I didn't like some of the limitations. It was a give and take kind of a deal.

@gjacobse I can create a separate topic of my setup. I've pieced together the needed information to make it work with my setup. Waiting on my hardware to get in so I can add more to my setup.

@gjacobse I can post what I have but the setup is a little different. I have a frontend already setup from my automation setup.

@gjacobse you inspired me with this post. I created a python script to post my cpu temp from a remote pi to my home automation pi via mqtt.

rPi3 running my home automation setup. I've done openVPN server, torrent box, pi hole, nfs/samba file sharing,

I've used DVDshrink and Handbrake in the past. Careful with DVDshrink since its not developed or maintained anymore a lot of people are binding it with malware.

Decided to go with an ERL. Love it so far. Need to figure out how to work with it better.

@jaredbusch I've always had an issue with the Network source in VVM being "empty" when selecting the bridge interface. After a reboot that seems to fix it. Now I don't have a team setup so that may be different.
