You could do something similar to this & use /data for storing vm's

I used this example just changing /data to /var instead and adding /home as a 2 GiB as well. I'm not sure that was necessary however.

Yep. /home would have just been a directory on the root partition if you hadn't added a partition for it. Always good to have a separate /home for file servers, but imo, not needed if it's just going to be admin users on the system.

@travisdh1 Can you dumb that down for me?

I'm looking for more step by step or a walk through video if possible. Maybe Linux 098 vs. 101...

Try this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olPWqd3gVY8 Around 2:05 is where you want to look for creating a custom partition layout.

In that video would I just make the / partition larger since I have a larger drive and keep the others the same? Isn't XFS preferred now?

XFS is my preference, yes. The root partition at 25GB is enough assuming you're only using KVM with a server base. The one big change you want to be aware of is assigning another LVM partition the rest of the drive space to the /var mount point. It's much easier to set that up at install time rather than change it later.

@ccwtech I normally do a small system partition (40 to 60 GB) and mount the data partition wherever it's needed. It changes depending on use case of course, but in your case I'd probably do a 40GB / partition and put the majority of the drive space on /var (where the KVM configs and virtual drives default to.)

Installing the latest Nethserver on my lab box.

Ive not done this for qb file storage. I use Windows file server for this.
I cant envision a scenario where it would be simpler or better than putting it on an smb share on Windows Server either. Just seems like it would break and youd be up a creek. Imagine calling qb support with a Linux server issue.

I disagree. After the initial setup a Linux server will be much more stable.

Also don't forget about licensing cost for Windows.

Who doesn't have a Windows server they can add a file share to?

Me and my home lab. No Windows anything in sight, and really no reason to either. The only Windows box in my personal life is my gaming rig.

Now at work, well, that's just a I'm not even going to talk about it situation at the moment.

Thank you @StrongBad

@scottalanmiller brace yourself. drunk post is coming !

That's my secret... all my posts are drunk posts!

You don't even sleep long enough to expunge the alcohol from your system. Don't think I'd want to be around you if you ever went cold turkey.

@scottalanmiller said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

Well was planning on Chinese delivery, but once again I missed the window in which they were open. Argh. Why does everything in Texas close so early!

Want to compare that to Wooster, OH businesses? There are advantages to moving into the Columbus area, just not financial ones.

@dbeato said in Advantages of CentOS or Fedora over Debian?:

I have been using Debian for a long time since version 3.0 and ever since I have been able to work with it without any issue and I have been using Ubuntu since version 6.04 so I have a long history of it. I started using CentOS based on ML and the good ways of doing things. But I am on majority of my Linux time on Debian distributions.

Back before the days of always online repositories, Debian was great because you were able to have all the software on like 4 DVDs or LOTS of CDs.

@wrx7m said in Wuzah on Fedora 28:

"# service wazuh-api status"

I think the errors started farther back in the process. That's telling you the wazuh-api.service doesn't exist.

One of the golf courses we support had the kids working at the pool just leave everything open in the rain storms over the weekend. The magic smoke got released for a computer that got a good soaking. Somehow, the other one was still working.

I don't really see any one distribution as being intrinsically better. I've used both, but done much more work with the RedHat based distributions rather than the Debian based ones. So I prefer CentOS or Fedora, but will happily use any.

Going to take a quick look at em, do these also work for the outside?

Not yet weatherproof. But they have that in planning accoring to their social posts I found.

Ok, so not the intended goal I had in mind, but for $30 bucks it isn't a bad solution.

I'm seeing a USB cord, I assume this means USB to a power block. Do you like the power options? Any option for PoE?

Strictly powered from USB.

Which would mean where-ever I want this unit I would need to have an outlet within so many feet. Hrm. .

There are inexpensive PoE to USB adapters around you know. I've been using one of these with my RPi3 for around a year now.

@jaredbusch said in DNS-over-HTTPS with Fedora based PiHole and Cloudflare:

The entire concept is just stupid.
You cannot hide from your provider.

I'd agree with you, at least for now. This is just one small step in the right direction. It won't really make much difference until it's supported by all endpoints.

I've been lying down on the job apparently. 4 sets of hardcore credentials removed in the past 4 months. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cisco-removes-backdoor-account-fourth-in-the-last-four-months/

@nashbrydges said in DNS-over-HTTPS with Fedora based PiHole and Cloudflare:

The assumption is that, now that there are no upstream DNS servers shown on Pi-Hole and I can still resolve all domains, that this is in fact working over HTTPS?

Correct. The DNS queries are being sent through a proxy with this setup. Hopefully a more elegant and simple solution to doing secure DNS will be available in the future, but for now this is one of the few solutions available.

@nerdydad I've not used the calendar in NextCloud yet, but I'd assume in a note section. Probably wouldn't show up on the main interface before opening the event.

@nerdydad said in Nextcloud 13 workflows:

I have a Nextcloud 13 instance on Vultr. I am needing a workflow that has the ability to attach a document to a scheduled event. I have discovered tags but doesnt allow me to do that. Is there a module or something that I can do?

Will copy/pasting the share link not work?

Just finished the last ticket update for the day (I hope).

Everyone listed good reasons already. Mine is a little more specific. I got tired of having to install remi just to get a version of PHP that wasn't years out of date, and so slow it was painful.

Navigation panel for Table of Contents in the left

Noice, so this desktop app can it connect to NC server and or cloud files ? I assume this makes it more faster think Outlook OWA vs desktop client.

OnlyOffice does have a NextCloud and OwnCloud plugin. Basically, install the plugin on your server and then put the web address for your OnlyOffice server in it is all that needs done.

Installing UPS WorldShip 2018, not going quickly.

UPS, FedEx, and DHL software were always a pain in the arse at the best of times.

@scottalanmiller More bizarre decisions. Not generating enough new users to even pay the upkeep?

@emad-r said in Ryzen 7 1700 + GeForce 8400 GS = no display:

@harry-lui

It does but only for specific CPU models, I think only 2. The rest is all CPU only, meaning you need discrete GPU to power up the system which is stupid in 2018.

That's what Ryzen processors are. CPU only, no GPU. Know your hardware.

This sums up Word more than anything I've ever known.

WordPerfects show-codes feature needs to make an appearance. Of course it could be all over the place and I might not know about it today because it's been since high-school that a word processor mattered that much to me.

I'm actually glad. I've watched the first two seasons on Amazon Prime and enjoyed them. Not the greatest ever, but more entertaining than most of the junk around today.
