@dyasny said in Virt-Manager on multiple pc's:

if you have an ovirt-engine somewhere central, that can reach to all the other locations, you can create a datacentre per location and place standalone hosts in there, using local storage.

Never thought about that. That's a great idea.

Hikvision NVR has 16 ports at the back. does the camera need to be directly connected to the ports? we have CCTV vlan and some of camera is passing via fiber and multiple switch hops.

I'm not sure where you're confused. BNC (analog over coax) goes to BNC. IP goes over the wire (ethernet). The appliance has an interface to configure your connected devices.

Sorry for noob question. Just want to make sure that the NVR's 16 network ports works as normal switch ports.

I honestly couldn't tell you as I've never dealt with a device that matches what you're describing.

While technically non-Ethernet switches are physically possible, they really don't exist on the market. Only Ethernet switching has ever really been a thing. So you are safe in that all switching is interchangeable.

That seems unnecessary as this shouldn't be so difficult, nor should it ever occur.

...because everything apple does is perfect and never, ever malfunctions in any way, right?

Yeah. . . no I get the stance. What makes no sense is there is no way for me to find where this bulk is coming from.

Would you really want MS making exceptions on your behalf and without your knowledge?

I don't have a safe senders list. Yet I get attachments and links all the time.

More than likely, the DKIM/SPF checks failed to cause that.

@scottalanmiller RHV now, after a rebrand in 2016-ish

Upgraded from 18.04.2 LTS to current. Accepted default answers for individuals packages during upgrade.

Had issue with MC and the meshcentral-data/meshcentral.db getting set with root:root perms and this caused a few errors with starting MC from meshcentral.service

Changed perms to back to <user>:<user> and all is well. Don't know what would change those perms though? Either way, all is well now.

@JaredBusch said in Upgrading to osTicket 1.11.0:

So what is the point of using OSTicket? There are solutions for that.

Time tracking would be nice. But lots of shops don't use it. MSPs do, but internal IT often does not.

@Danp said in XCP-NG/XenServer tapdisk error:

It's a bug... see https://mailchi.mp/7ed52f9a2151/important-noticeopenvswitch-issue

Sure enough, that was it.

@anthonyh said in GPO Software Deployment Woes:

Just a side note: I can confirm that @Dashrender 's suggestion of creating a CNAME works like a charm. I created a new software deployment GPO and added the source via the CNAME record and deployment was successful.

Glad to see that I was mistaken 🙂

@DustinB3403 said in Nomad - Manage Mac OS in Windows/AD Environment - Anyone Used It?:

I've heard of it, and it's supposedly a really good product, the issue with it is the cost. At least at the time.

The product now is JAMF Connect. So it looks to be a dead product that was replaced.

Interesting. I'll look into that. I didn't see any mention of jamf.

@JaredBusch said in Setting Up a Standard MySQL or MariaDB Database for an Application:

I like my approach to setting this up.

Obviously, install MySQL/MariaDB first as noted above.

Then do the following. This all needs done in the same SSH session, but otherwise things are simple.

Choose once of these exports for your DB root password.

The first one is for you to specify, the second generates a random one and echo's it back to you.

# Specify your own password for MariaDB root user export DB_ROOT_PASS="somebigpasswordgoeshere" # Generate a random password for MariaDB root user export DB_ROOT_PASS="$(head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 30)" echo "This is your MariaDB root password: $DB_ROOT_PASS" Specify the application database name and application user name # Database user to use for application export DB_USER='yourusername' # Database name to use for application export DB_NAME='yourdatabasename' Generate or specify a random password for the database user # Specify your own password for the application's database user export DB_PASS="somebigpasswordgoeshere" # Generate a random password for the application's database user export DB_PASS="$(head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 30)" echo "This is your password for the application user: $DB_PASS" Then create the application database, use, and grant access. mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE $DB_NAME;" mysql -e "CREATE USER '$DB_USER'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$DB_PASS';" mysql -e "GRANT ALL ON $DB_NAME.* TO '$DB_USER'@'localhost';" mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" Finally, lock down the system without the interactive requirement of mysql_secure_installation # Secure MariaDB (this does what mysql_secure_installation performs without interaction) mysql -e "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('$DB_ROOT_PASS') WHERE User='root';" mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='root' AND Host NOT IN ('localhost', '127.0.0.1', '::1');" mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='';" # Beginning on some version of MariaDB after Fedora 29 was released, the test DB is no longer there by defualt. mysql -e "DROP DATABASE test;" mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"

Your approach makes it easier to use as part of a script.

It also generates random passwords, which I prefer.

In Excel, use File > Save as web page, then attach the web page to your email message?

Yeah, we found that process. That's a pretty huge "fail" process.

@gjacobse said in Wifi Card Not Being Seen:

have you tried using a Linux OS? This could be helpful in determination of the Hardware and OS

everything else works fine except the wifi for some reason just kicks off to the point the card itself is not recognized even with drivers re loaded , until you physically unplug and plug back in.

@Dashrender said in Make an osTicket Database Backup:

Total DB Admin noob here - so bare with me.

Does this include the username/password setup for this DB? or does that need to be maintained separately?

i.e. you have to rebuild from this backup - do you just create a brand new SQL user and grant them rights to this DB upon import, then use that new account to give access to the app?

In typing out my question I kinda assume the answer is the second bit - you just create a new user and assign them rights.

Correct. The user and the database are separate things.

@DustinB3403 said in Losing mouse via hyper v manager:

Anyone can login to the console, as the local admin, and have no additional logging (admin login to console from system-name. . .) for example.

So, there are compliance and logging reasons to not use the console that are general recommendations to "just do".

What? Who has the administrator account password? Hopefully only the most trusted of all people, a subset of the IT team. So that shouldn't be a real issue.

As for logging - I have no idea what logging in available in Hyper-V itself when the Hyper-V Manager is logged into and accesses a Hyper-V host - but I would assume that connection itself is logged based upon the username/password of that IT member - and if they have the Administrator name/password - well, there you go.

As for the actual console - well, there really isn't a way to access a VM from the physical console on the server, so that's a non issue.

@NashBrydges said in Mass upload sound files into FreePBX:

Very useful stuff, thanks for this.

Self serving. I’m buildinging a mass import right now using this process.

OSTicket is not a solution I can use, because I need time tracking also.

I never saw a plugin for that for OSTicket.

@flaxking said in Traefik Reverse Proxy:

Are you currently using it in production?

Not at work. I'm using it for projects outside of that though. My docker compose stack at home uses it.
