We have both the Dell USB-C docks and a couple of the Thunderbolt models. So far we have had no problem with the USB-C. I even use one for my machine. The Thunderbolts were a bit problematic around the first part of 2017, but after several firmware updates they seem to have stabilized.

@StorageNinja uses Franz. No idea how well it works.

So far Telegram, Skype, and messenger work. When setting up messenger, I get a review recent login prompt and it shows Chrome for Linux. Does that mean Franz is built off of Chrome?

I think it's an electron app So it's chrome under the hood.

That makes sense now. Because I only see this message, when using Skype from a browser.

Normally I think everyone uses the built in encryption instead.

I'm not familiar with that, and will it work cross platform?

No, it's full disk.

Not looking for - nor do I currently need FDE -

That's why no one uses VeraCrypt, though. Full disk is built in and just a check box.

Found another annoyance with Google Sites and the attached email..

Send mail limits.... Ugh.. Like I now have to send more than two emails to get through my notification list. That is unacceptable. Yes, I know I could use something like MailChimp or similar.. but I don't have the free time to put into that right now. And if I move off of G-Sites to hosted.. would that be an issue any longer?
sigh

eta

I should add - that is PER DAY... so... Ugh... two days to cover the list.

I just looked. The only place to add comments with Alertmanager are when an alert is silenced. I looked in Grafana as well and that might be of use. Grafana will let you set alerts on specific metrics and then you can set annotations on those alerts. Here's a sample graph with alerts (they're the red dotted line).

You can click on the alert and give an annotation.

Then when you hover over the alert you can see the annotations and tags.

I'm in the process of figuring out how to set up Wiki.js on Ubuntu running in Azure with a MongoDB backend and Apache fronting for SSL.

MongoDB will be phased out in Wiki.js 2.0.0

This would work on prem exchange. Probably works with a tweak for o365.

The daemom is written in python and takes forever to rebuild the db if you restart it… I had ~1Tb in 2 millions of files. The thing is, it keeps track of the file chunks of every files… sort of joins object storage and file storage together. Very bandwith efficent, but horrible on cpu and I/O. I switched to nextcloud that lacks that feature, but it’s much faster and flexible.

@stacksofplates said in Looking to migrate Nginx and LetsEncrypt:

If you start over with a new system so you still get notifications of old certs expiring? Aren't these handled at the domain level so it knows that a new system has a newer cert? Honestly asking since I haven't run into this yet.

No. It is handled on the cert serial number level.

Ah ok.

I've moved things in the past by simply reissuing on the new server, and dealing with the expiring certs is an annoyance.

Most "hot new things" apply to existing technology. It's extremely rare that a new industry term arises before (or with) the invention of something. It's normally more a recognition of something that's been created. SaaS for example arose as a term decades after the idea was pioneered and at least five years after it was mainstream. But it doesn't make the things that predate the name not SaaS, it's just a super broad term.

Do I need virtio drivers if I have already installed spice tools? I am a little confused about the difference between the two. Because when I installed Spice Tools, it installed drivers for various components...

Spice Tools seems to work better.

Maybe update the OP to say it is best to install Spice Tools, but if you need to manually install virtio drivers, here are the steps....

Oh just realized this was my thread. Will do.

Edit: Yeah this is a little outdated. I'll fix it up. It's hard to keep all of my posts up to date... rather impossible.

If it is a significant change, i liek to make a new one referring back to the original.

@xylems said in Errors Building Guacamole Server on Fedora 28:

@travisdh1 step-by-step guide for the entire guacamole installation?

Definitely make it two parts, preferably two posts. Post one for setting up Guac. Post 2 for setting up LDAP.

Something like this format https://mangolassi.it/topic/16471/install-bookstack-on-fedora-27
Or this: https://mangolassi.it/topic/16380/install-nextcloud-13-0-0-on-fedora-27

@flaxking said in Is RD Gateway useful?:

Let me bring my question back at a different angle. If you were paying for a hosted, fully managed terminal server, what would be your expectations for how it would be secured?

Personally, I would sleep fine at night with RDP exposed, but with 2-step authentication, and good log monitoring (and enforcing the security built into RDP and Windows authentication). However, maybe that is not enough for a professional solution.

You can add RDPGuard to the RDS server too.

Although, like @travisdh1 stated, put HTTPS in front and your all good. I use an SSL-VPN myself.

@travisdh1 said in Decrypting Rapid Ransomware:

Might be an opportunity to get started with that if you don't.

Not sure what FoolishIT.com is.. Ill have to look that up in a little

@dbeato - Thanks. Maybe it didn't used to be in red.

@carnival-boy said in Yet another SharePoint thread:

It's included in our O365 subscription so there is no cost or licensing issues. I'm not sure what you mean by overhead of management. What kind of performance and end user problems have you experienced?

Cost and Licensing: Yes, you have paid for Sharepoint in a bundle, but you are still paying for it. In the E4 breakout, it's $4/mo of the $20/mo total. And you need to pay for that for everyone who uses it. Most organizations have lots of exceptions that would only need that one thing, but have to pay for more or whatever just for that one thing.

Cost of Management: Sharepoint takes a bit of time and effort to maintain. Plus backups, if you want any protection from mistakes on the client end, isn't included so is both effort and money. Sharepoint requires training and work to keep working

Performance: The system, especially through O365, is very slow and cumbersome to use. It's just not fast so people get frustrated with it.

End User: We found our less technical end users unable to cope with basic data management concepts and would throw data all over Sharepoint because they couldn't understand basic things like tagging, filtering and metadata

@mattbagan said in Nextcloud Troubleshooting:

@scottalanmiller I saw that too. I am wondering if I could just delete the folder in question and see if that helps.

Maybe, do a move, not a delete, in case you need to put it back.

Good idea! I moved the folder and it may have taken longer then normal, but it finally loaded again.

I was having trouble earlier to do AWS Management work but now it is working fine.

The settings are
network.trr, network.trr.mode and network.trr.uri

@doyler3000 said in Hyper-V replication, Starwind, or something else?:

? The hypervisor will still be Hyper-V so the VM's theselves won't require any conversion?

Yes, you are correct. There will be no need for VMs conversion, StarWind devices should just be replicated to VSA. This can be done with the help of StarWind support guys.
By the way, I this conversion is required only for the HyperConverged scenario on VMware, where StarWind VSAN service is located inside VM.
With HyperConverged scenario on Hyper-V, StarWind VSAN will be installed inside Windows OS which is running Hyper-V role, thus you don't need VSA at all.
