@mroth911 You would have to setup a reverse proxy.

@hobbit666 said in Unifi AP Export:

Does Any one know of a easy way to get a list of all AP's and their IP address from a unifi controller?

Or care to give me a tutorial on how if not simple

You are going to need to use an api client most likely to get the info out, https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/
Unifi-Api-Browser: https://unificontrol.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
Unifi-Api-Client: https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/UniFi-API-client

You can use the Api Browser which is a php site to get your json list of all the devices and then parse it yourself into a csv, or use the client directly to get the values you want.

I also use https://unificontrol.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html which is a python3 version based on the work of hte Unifi-Api-Client above listed, and just get the values I want with it.

This just getting the list of devices from the default site, but you could go through all your sites and get all devices

import ssl
 import unificontrol
client = unificontrol.UnifiClient(host="UNIFI_CONTROLLER",username="UNIFI_CONTROLLER_USERNAME",password="UNIFI_CONTROLLER_PASSWORD",site="default",cert=cert)
devices = client.list_devices()
 
for i in range(len(devices)):
...   print ("Name,IP")
...   print (devices[i].get('name') + "," + devices[i].get('ip'))
... 
# Results
Name,IP
G&G Main Room,10.10.10.101

Very happy to be part of this great team

@stacksofplates said in Ubuntu switching back to GNOME:

So does that mean Mir is done too?

Apparently it is, the only reason for Mir was Unity 8 and with the that gone Wayland should get all of the attention now.

The browser takes care of everything if it supports your file type.

The MP4 container format with the H.264 video codec and the AAC audio codec is natively supported by desktop/mobile Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome, but Chromium and Opera do not support the format. IE and Chrome also support the MP3 audio codec in the MP4 container, but Safari does not. Firefox/Firefox for Android/Firefox OS supports the format in some cases, but only when a third-party decoder is available, and the device hardware can handle the profile used to encode the MP4.

I've never seen this happen before, I bet it won't last.

@scottalanmiller how about trying this. Found it in ask Ubuntu:

I carried out a fresh install of 16.04 on my ASUS GL552VW.

The only additional GRUB parameters I entered (for installation and normal boot) were:

nouveau.modeset=0

To stop Nouveau from taking over.

Once I'd installed the nVidia 361.42 drivers, through the Additional Drivers tab in Software Updater, I had to disable Secure Boot. (Secure boot stops unsigned kernel modules loading)

With those settings, everything works. Touchpad, Skylake support, nVidia graphics @ 1920x1080, Wifi, Bluetooth, keyboard backlight.

Installation of 16.04 is much less hassle than previous versions.

@Joel said in Regional/Language/Date - GPO:

I have a DC running Server2012 and then a domain joined Terminal Server (2012) which is used simply to deploy Excel as a remote app.

Our users open Remote Excel from their local computers.
The problem I have is the date/region format is set to US and I'd like it to be UK.

Ive changed the settings on the server to reflect this but when users use Excel it still shows the US version.
I then logged onto the server as a user and noticed it was set to US and when changed to UK, his Excel worked with correct format.

I dont want to have to change this for each user individually so want to do it using a GPO if possible.

On our DC, I have tried this way: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754020.aspx with no luck.

Can you guys help me deploy a Group Policy that will set all remote users time/date/region format to UK settings?

Thanks in advance

By the way did you apply your settings by pressing F6?

@wirestyle22 The fears and anxiety have not gone away, BUT HOPE, HAPPINNESS, LOVE and so many other great feelings have surpassed them.

Really early impressions of SparkleShare:

• It is based on git, I truly did not know git could be used with anything other than text files.
  

• The host setup is a script that installs a git server , since it is git you could acually use gitlab, github or bitbucket as your server host.
  

• Windows client listed on the webpage (1.4) is not the newest version available even though it is the only version listed. Version 1.5
  

• Client tracks files added and deleted, as well as versions of certain file types.
  

• Versions of a docx file and ability to recover
  
  **Edit ( For some strange reason, the time of the versions of the files is not actually my current time. Screen captures where taken at around 19:00 and file versions show 17:50)

Tomorrow I'll setup another client to test the syncing process between clients

This is what the main stand at the International Book Fair in Guadalajara is looking like.

@Dashrender said in Where to buy Ubiquiti in Italy:

Here's a crazy idea - have it shipped to the house owners name, not yours.

That's what I suggested before.

How does the shipping company even know who the home owner is? I don't really understand why proving home ownership is a requirement to get a package delivered.

Thanks to working in the International Book Fair of Guadalajara I have gotten to meet many famous and really interesting people mostly writers of course. Just last week in this years fair, I got to meet and speak with Rigoberta Menchu while having breakfast. I also spoke with John Kazenback and asked him to sign a book for my cousin since she is a really big fan of him.

But the most famous person I have met and I really admire is my own cousin =), Javier Hernandez Balcazar also known as Chicharito . He is currently one of the most famous soccer players in Mexico and is known worldwide thanks to having played for Manchester United and Real Madrid. He is currently living in Germany and playing for Bayern Leverkusen.

@MattSpeller said in Finding the Best Open Source Email Solutions:

I'd love to know how this has boiled down, can someone TL;DR this 200 post saga for me?

I can tell you how things originated.

We tried to install Kopano, our first choice was Centos 7 which we couldn't get working becuase of dependency trouble. Then we tried on Ubuntu 16.10, we knew it didn't appear on the list of supported OS, which was this:

Ubuntu 16.04 didn't appear there either, but @mcostan had the install working on it, so I thought it was worth the shot trying to get it on working on the latest supported version of Ubuntu.

So I tried the install, on Ubuntu 16.10 but once again was met with dependency trouble.

So I reported to @scottalanmiller the complications I was having and that I was going to try Ubuntu 16.04 to see if it would even work. Finally, I did get it working on 16.04.

but I still told @scottalanmiller that the documentation didn't appear current, it was not really easy to follow, and the whole installation process felt awkward.

Then another error in the documentation appeared, which led me to not being able to add a user to the system.

Why was I getting the error, because I followed a note in the documentation.

I reverted the change, and finally got the user added and got access to the webapp.

So you're telling me that since I didn't waste money and replace them early, before they needed replacing... that I won't be able to replace them next year if they fail? ridiculous.

That's reality mate. Not good, not what I like, but it's a real thing.

Well, we know corruption when we see it, don't we?

Corruption? No. It's more about how your financial department runs your business. We're in fact controlled by two other gov agencies to avoid anything unnecessary or unjustified.

Actually, it's the opposite. They are pushing you to waste money.

It is a complete waste of resources in my opinion as well. I work for public edu as well so I have the same dumb budget management that @thwr has.

I really don't understand why public money must be handled that way and why people think it is the best way to show transparency for money usage.

• Budget created and asked for accountants without IT input
• Budget created usually between Oct - Dec of the previous year.
• Budget must last the whole year and must be completely used or risk getting a smaller amount next year.
• Because the budget must last the whole year, most buys are rushed on the last months in order to utilize the whole budget not really taking into account real business requirements. Must of the stuff is never actually used by IT.

This would never be allowed on private companies, why is is allowed on public ones, at least for my country I must agree with @Dashrender CORRUPTION no other way to call it in my book.

@wirestyle22 said in Reboot your servers:

Zabbix monitoring is super convenient for my weekly reboots. If something doesn't come back I will receive an e-mail but I also remote into it to verify everything is up and running too

We use this...

for i in $(cat server_list); do echo $i $(ssh $i uptime); done

Produces a nice list of the uptimes for every system.

I now do:

ansible all -a "uptime"
