@scottalanmiller said in Odoo vs ERPNext and Which linux more suitable (Ubuntu/CentOS) ?:

I would likely run on Fedora, of course. Fedora -> CentOS -> Ubuntu, in this case. Ubuntu is always my enterprise Linux of last resort. Only after all RH and Suse options are exhausted. Within the RH family, I always choose Fedora over CentOS.

Fedora ? I don't know exactly but, I always had impression that Fedora is for Desktop kind and CentOS/Redhat/Ubuntu/OpenSuse etc for Server kind of stuff, isn't it ?

I feel like some applications or services are designed mainly for one for variants ? (Redhat or Debian) ? as I seen, Odoo was smooth to setup on Ubuntu and can find so many articles for that, and Snipe-IT on CentOS etc. Just wonder why only specific variant is more suitable for most of applications ?

@scottalanmiller said in Odoo vs ERPNext and Which linux more suitable (Ubuntu/CentOS) ?:

We ran ERPNext for a while for @Minion-Queen to test out. It was okay, but we ended up not using it. Odoo looked interesting but their website was down for so long, we had thought that they had gone out of business so we did not test them at the time.

Okay, I am seeing good reviews about ERPNext at different places.

@stacksofplates said in Odoo vs ERPNext and Which linux more suitable (Ubuntu/CentOS) ?:

I like neither but ERPNext seems more flexible. It's been a couple years but the ERPNext install script never worked on CentOS for me. Never tried Odoo other than the hosted so I can't answer which is better for it.

Is ERPNext designed mainly for non-Red hat variant ?

Hi all,

Just wondering to know which one you like or prefer and why btw Odoo and ERPNext ?

And which linux is more suitable for Odoo and ERPNext (if it matters ?)

Odoo = Ubuntu or CentOS ?
ERPNext = Ubuntu or CentOS ?

Thanks for feedback !!

@Tim_G said in Google Cloud as offsite backup. How to check if it's suitable for us or no and pricing ?:

My point is that you shouldn't use "cloud" backup as a replacement for onsite backup. And if you do use something like that, it's fine if it slowly archives backups in the background, as your main on-site backups do their thing like normal, and you can restore if needed like normal.

Of course not, we already have Onsite backup and from (Onsite backup) itself I am trying to push the data to Google Cloud (for Offsite purpose).

I have applied QoS for NAS box by 4MBps, not sure if it's enough ? and following is the status QNAP's Google Cloud backup software when I triggered full backup data (around 8TB) :

Expected finishing date is terrible : Around after two months

Transfer rate : 1.79MBps (before applying QoS, it was 606.29 KBps) and don't know why it's not boosting upto 4MBps ?

You could use that maybe for archival or escrow purposes. Something you really don't need to restore from. Time to restore is important, too.

Here I have chosen Nearline but not cold storage, because it's not Archive but Offsite Backup.

Are you saying to use for Archival because the performance doesn't seems to be practical ?

I'm saying that you normally use off-site backup for disaster recovery... if your onsite backup fails or a fire destroys everything. Then, you time for recovery from your "off-site" backup will be 2 months (unless they will ship you your data). Is that acceptable? But if you have other off-site backup, like tape in another facility, then you can use "cloud" backup as archival or escrow backup. Something you likely won't need to restore from, but it's there if the government wants something that's like 7 years old, or Iron Mountain blows up or something.

Edit: This is why if you do choose to do this, make sure they offer a way to send you your data in an acceptable timely manner. Many do, maybe they do too,.

Yes, this is for Offsite purpose and only wants to retrieve at the time, if we can't recover from Onsite backups. And I want to retrieve occasionally to test.

Strange this is mine

Maybe your phone doesn't allow it?

Oops, if that's the case, I will try with other Android phone.

But resetting about didn't made any changes, following is the snap for new email received but no count :

@hobbit666 said in Android app for O365 email with new email count on App Icon ?:

@openit said in Android app for O365 email with new email count on App Icon ?:

Yeah, I think it should be Unread instead of new. I have installed BlueMail, same thing, I can receive notifications (of course, I am receiving on MS Outlook), but no count on BlueMail too ?

In BlueMail click the "3" dots in the bottom left of screen.
Goto "Global Settings"
"Unread Count"
"App badge Number"
check if the account is selected

Under "Unread Count" I have only option to reset the count if it's not working.

@iroal said in Android app for O365 email with new email count on App Icon ?:

Try with Nova Laucher, It has the option to add count to any app.

So it's third party app to enable count but not email client app ?

You might not get an icon over the Outlook app, but you can definitely get a notice in the top bar.

Sorry, I didn't get you ? I was talking about new email counts you are seeing from above Picture (which is from Microsoft's Outlook App for iOS), and that feature lacks in Android version.

For notification, yeah that's fine, I believe almost all Apps will notify for any new email.

Right - I was offering an alternative - that instead of getting the red number over the app like your picture, that the icon in the notification tray at the top might serve the same purpose with Outlook on Android.

This notification is already working but it's not enough, looking for count option.

@hobbit666 said in Android app for O365 email with new email count on App Icon ?:

I use BlueMail with my 365 account that shows a number of unread (not new) messages.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.bluemail.mail

Yeah, I think it should be Unread instead of new. I have installed BlueMail, same thing, I can receive notifications (of course, I am receiving on MS Outlook), but no count on BlueMail too ?

@Dashrender said in Android app for O365 email with new email count on App Icon ?:

I pulled my Nexus 6p out to see if I get the on icon numbers and I do.

I just wonder if this Android phone, why it's not working with him and I quickly checked into my phone (Android), same, no Unread count on App.

How about restore options below storage ?

Should I include this estimate too ? For retrieving of data, we will require to retrieve only at the time of unsuccessful restoration from Onsite backup. And sometimes I want to retrieve to test.

One more thing I believe to be considered is, the backup we are going to take is Backup Files (Incremental Backup), so all files needs to downloaded at the time retrieval, so downloading 10TB will be horrible and may take ages ?

@scottalanmiller @Dashrender @JaredBusch @DustinB3403

I have just filled Location and Cloud Storage nearline, no idea about other options like operations etc.

So I am trying to estimate the Google Cloud Storage pricing with their calculator.

Requirements :

Region : (looking for cheapest one) - selected South Carolina as a test. which one is cheapest location ?

Storage Capacity : 10TB. And space could be increased without any interruption, right ?

Redundancy : I believe this multi-regional is for Redundancy, which means our data will be maintained in two or more locations. I am not going with Redundancy option.

Type of Storage : Because I don't want cold storage, I have chosen "Cloud Storage Nearline"

That's it ?

I am not sure what is the cause. One option in my hand is allocating dedicated bandwidth to QNAP NAS on Firewall.

Never dedicate bandwidth, use QoS instead. Dedicated just cripples everything else.

Sorry, I am no expert in Networks, actually I meant for QoS by saying Dedicated. I understand it could be different in technical meaning like, QoS will use bandwidth only when it needs something like that ?

So backup data is going up to 8.5 TB now, and of course this 8.5 TB is not stable and will change as actual data changes.

So should I consider 8.5 TB ? or 10TB (for safer side) as my Cloud Storage need ?
