@tim_g and this required super secret handshakes to get? FFS people...

This is why I use Relax and Recover if I need a backup like this. It just works.

Quick video I did. I created a workflow in AWX that has Ansible provision two OpenStack instances, update the dynamic inventory in AWX, and set the new instances up as DNS (Bind) servers. It's a little slow because of the system AWX is running on.

I agree it probably depends on your audience. If they aren't technical people, sticking with a .com or .net would probably be your best bet. I have a .technology site, but it's a technical blog that I don't expect anyone outside of my line of work to even care about.

I use Gitlab because of the built in runners. It's nice to have the CI/CD pipeline built directly in.

Jenkins and others obviously work with Github but being able to have a local system do the testing (that's automatically kicked off) while using the hosted Gitlab is pretty awesome.

I also use VS code and Atom (with the Git Plus package).

CentOS 7 now has the VM console as long as the VM has VNC graphics. You don't need to remove SPICE, you can just add VNC also.

@francesco-provino said in Digital Ocean NetBox inventory tool, anyone?:

It looks nice on first sight. Any other open source competitor? I mean, oss with HTML5 interface.

If you're just looking for IPAM then there is one called NIPAP. But I've never used it. phpIPAM is another.

I've never used NetBox in production, I just spun up a Vagrant box to look at it. Working in an air gapped environment brings challenges when you have to get stuff from Github.

I don't see how this is better than block storage attached to the instance? It's less flexible and potentially costs more depending on how much you need to store.

@eddiejennings said in Vultr Storage Instances:

I can't see the price now, but perhaps it's cheaper than SSD VM + Block storage, if SATA storage meets your needs.

It's $0.10 per GB. So a $2.50 instance with 50 GB would only be $7.50. 100 GB would only be $12.50 then. Plus the added benefit of being able to move your storage to another server. If the VM hoses up for some reason, you can just reattach to a new one.

I meant the price of the storage instances. I see the benefits of having separate block storage.

I'm saying I think it's comparable. I think a 120 GB storage instance was around $10 a month, I think. So for the small extra price you get pretty much exactly the same storage (VM storage plus 100GB of block) and the added benefit of being able to move your data.

So according to this site it was $5 for 125GB.

Still to me, the benefits of going the other way make it worth the cost.

I keep it on for my account if I can on that machine but everything controlled by CM doesn't have it. The CM account is locked so you can't log in through the console, only SSH with a key.

Root gets a random password that no one knows.

If you need a 13" then the Latitudes are really nice. My e7270 has 16GB, an i7, and an m.2 drive. Its a 12" so it doesn't have the infinity edge display, but the 13" looks just like an XPS.

It’s mainly stuff like repos, misc apps, stupid stuff. Any super important data goes on the Isilon.

@jmoore said in Directory Management:

I am looking to play with something at home but not Active Directory. What alternatives are out there? I have heard about Zentyal and its a possibility. Is there anything else that would be better just to learn that would be useful to know?

For Linux, FreeIPA (Identity Management for RHEL based).

For Windows you could do Samba, but I've never set one up.

I’m sure it depends on where you live. I have a DL380 and an R710 at home. They each are about $10 a month in electricity.

The default zone on my Fedora server install is "public"

Where did you install from?

Netinstall ISO off the Fedora website: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/26/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-26-1.5.iso

Ah ok. So the net install uses public. The ISO with defaults sets it to FedoraServer.

Any ideas??

What do you mean? Either change the Salt file to match public or change your default zone on the server.

I know I can do that, I'm trying to figure out why the salt file isn't working for me (just the firewall portion) since it worked for everyone else

I thought we figured out that it was the incorrect zone? If you change the zone in the salt file to public does it work?

Gitlab has time tracking for issues and milestones. If you pay for the enterprise license you also get burn down charts

I got my ES-24-LITE for my house from Amazon. I haven't had a chance to set it up but you can also manage them with Ansible along with the web interface and the cli.

@danp said in Newb question - Running a script from the root directory:

Is the directory in your path? What do you get from echo $PATH?

echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/root/opt/scripts/:/root/opt/scripts

I've added it (twice).

Well first off you had /root/opt/scripts not /opt/scripts. Second you either have to log out and back in or tell your user to use the new path with something like

source ~/.bash_profile

I always put machine specific scripts in /use/local/bin. If I need to share them they are usually auto mounted.
