@biggen said in Gluster and RAID question:

So your VMs are running off the Gluster?

Gluster is generally used for that, yes. Because backup storage rarely can leverage the advantages of Gluster, it just doesn't make sense. But for VMs, that's Gluster's bread and butter.

VMs really "never" should be running off of a SAN. That's exactly the least likely option to make sense.

We used it for automounted home directories for a while. It works well for that also.

Prometheus has an exporter for HAProxy.

I threw some containers in a pod to set this up and show what it looks like with Prometheus and Grafana. I threw 1000 curl requests at it to generate some traffic.

Here's all of the different sections of data this dashboard has set up:

Forgot to mention this specific dashboard exposes some variables for the backends, frontends, server name, HTTP code, etc.

I have not but I meant to, so thanks for bringing it up again.

The new MS Flight Simulator sounds like it will be pretty awesome.

@chipprel said in Run virt-manager on Windows 10:

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated for helping me here. I will try soon. Any suggestion of linux distro for KVM server?
archlinux? parrot? ubuntu? any?

Fedora is probably the easiest. It's enabled by default.

@Obsolesce

I haven't even posted to this until you dragged my name into it.

I didn't... I actually @OBS and it fixed itself. The systems just knows OBS and \DustinB3403 are one in the same.

So when you @OBS does it take any manual intervention from \DustinB3403 or does just calling @OBS do it completely automatically?

I'd opt for restic or borg. Both do versioning and dedupe reall well and are pretty quick. One is Python and one is Go if you have any compliance to follow.

How would I achieve this Windows > Linux?

yeah sorry. I thought Borg had Windows support but it doesn't. You either have to run through WSL or something like Cygwin. Restic does support Windows though as it's written in Go.

@jmoore said in Run virt-manager on Windows 10:

What advantages and in what situations does the Proxmox implementation have over straight KVM?

Well quite a few, but it's apple and oranges so keep that in mind. KVM is a "build it yourself" component, it's only the hypervisor. Think ESXi without vSphere. So KVM is great and you can do anything with it that you want, but you have to do it. If all you want is something simple and/or you want exactly what the OS does by default and/or you want something really complex and unique, this is obviously best.

Proxmox builds a full virtualization suite on top of KVM (think XCP-NG on top of Xen) which gives you a standard web interface (instead of providing your own with a tool like virt-manager), a selection of options file systems, a selection of optional storage subsystems like CEPH and Gluster and DRBD, built in backups, cloning, monitoring, etc.

Anything Proxmox can do, you can do without it. But it makes making a standard, easy to use and easy to set up system more straightforward. If you have a large number of techs / clients in combination, the virt-manager approach is difficult to scale. But Proxmox is easier with a single jump server to handle the web interfaces.

Another big one for me is the role-based permissions.

Yeah that's a huge thing. You can kind supposedly kind of do it with libvirt/qemu but you need to use polkit.

@scottalanmiller : Not sure what you mean by a table editor?

Not sure what's confusing. He linked a table editor. That's all it does. That's what it is.

The first link is clearly not a table editor. He linked to a pen someone wrote that's called "simple table without outer border". Its like a GitHub gist. Its just an example of an HTML table, you could literally write anything in it.

@Dashrender said in WYSIWYG HTML editors:

I found this editor today.

https://codepen.io/sirinity/pen/dDsLx

OK OK OK this is a table editor for html, so here

https://htmlg.com/html-editor/
but this has an ad on it every 30 seconds.

do you have any web based ones to share?

Jsfiddle is similar to codepen. If you want locally I believe vscode had a real time preview window. Not wysiwyg but both similar to codepen. There's some old wysiwyg tools like Dreamweaver and another I cant think of but most people shy away from those now.

@krisleslie said in Looking for an Employee Vacation Calendar:

Hey guy's I've had time to play with ICEHRM, Odoo, Sentrifugo and a few others. Has any come to a consensus as a "staple" app to choose from? I'm leaning more toward ERPNext since it is customizable (now that I figured out some of their data model).

I liked ERPNext when I used it for my consulting work. I never used the vacation stuff though.

@Woti said in Fedora 31 Server, podman and SELinux:

Hei, I wanted to try your solution. Først, I wanted to run meg container setup but I get this error:

systemctl --user status container-easyepg.service
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

I haven't changed anything since the last time and the container file exists...
I can start it in Cockpit but not in the console. Strange...

I figured out: I need to issue the above command as user not as root.
Is it wrong to issuer this command as user? I setted up podman to use easyepg as user not as root.
Maybe that's why the container not starts during boot?

Which podman owner are you using @stacksofplates : user or root?

I'm using user but not that way. I put the service in /etc/systemd/system and set a user in the unit file. So I still start it with sudo systemctl restart plex but systemd uses the user defined in the unit file to run the service.

Okay. I have mine in /home/user/.config... one or another hidden directory created by podman generate commando.
Stupid question maybe: but what is the unit file?

It's the .service file. They're called units because there's a handful of different types (service, timer, path, target, etc)

It depends how you want to run it. If you want a completely ephemeral container just do docker run --rm -d apaero/cas

If you want to keep the data between container restarts remove the --rm

if you pass --restart always it should restart the container after a system reboot.

This worked well and I can see the docker image running with docker ps.

Still there is suppose to be a webserver exposed and I can't find anything. Perhaps my problem now is network settings related.
The docker host has an dhcp ip on 192.168.0.0/24 but it looks like docker images have their own private network 172.17.0.0/16.

Am I assuming right that I have to do do something to expose the docker IP / ports to the LAN?
Ideally I would want it to use the hosts IP.

I found docker run -p is that what I should be looking at?

Oh i didn't realize there was a webserver. You need to expose the containers port.

Yeah use -p to expose a port. So -p 8080:80 maps port 8080 on your system to port 80 in the container.

@Pete-S You need to run it with docker start apereo/cas
Also note that Docker containers don't automatically start after a reboot.

I tried to run docker start apereo/cas but got the error below, which looks like it isn't there.

Error response from daemon: No such container: apereo/cas
Error: failed to start containers: apereo/cas

But when I run docker images -a I have:

REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE

apereo/cas          latest              759874ee68a7        22 months ago       642MB

Any suggestions?

This is why I don't really like Docker. Too many issues exactly like this, and tracking them down is always a pain.

Too many issues like what? It was the wrong command. Start only works if you have a container with that name already built.

So what command is missing? I only remember the download and start from just about any install guide.

You have to run the container. Start only starts a stopped container.

Another advantage to application containers is integrations with things like VSCode. Your whole dev environment for a project can live in the container. It makes entry to helping with projects much easier. For example you can include a Dockerfile in your project and VSCode will build the container according to your Dockerfile. Then you can have VSCode spin up the container and attach to it and you can do the development inside of the container. That way the contributors don't need to install anything on their systems to work with your project. It's a really nice work flow.
