Perhaps AWX or Tower have reporting capability, I haven't used Tower and I briefly looked and AWX. Other configuration management solutions might do what you need too. Tower is pricey, depending on your needs. AWX lacks "support", as it is free. Also, AWX is treated as a toy and has constant issues with the current release software. You can see all the issues I had when experimenting with it: https://mangolassi.it/topic/19300/install-awx-on-centos-7-with-docker That is a complaint that I saw, as well.

@scottalanmiller said in Tracking Down Ubuntu BASH Session Closing: @matteo-nunziati said in Tracking Down Ubuntu BASH Session Closing: @scottalanmiller said in Tracking Down Ubuntu BASH Session Closing: If I use zsh, I'm good. If I enter BASH from zsh, I get kicked out after several seconds. Definitely is something to do with BASH. Stupid tryout: use bash and then enter zsh before being kicked out. Still out? To understand if it is the firing of bash itself or the stay in bash... No, the underlying bash remains until the ZSH closes. Same as if you were running top from it, for example. So basically bash is able to run long running jobs with your user... It's the interactivity with the shell to be broken... Meh. Sorry the thread is long, did you mention any test from zsh with: Bash <-- ok this kills the session Bash -i any difference??? Bash -l ??? bash --norc bash --noprofile From bashman page

@wrx7m said in Configure Nginx as Reverse Proxy for ScreenConnect to Enable Lets Encrypt: Less to that than I thought there would be. It's surprisingly simple and basic. It's really just passing one port to another, and using SSL. About the most basic setup you can have.

I went to MicroCenter tonight and was looking at laptops. I had a salesperson ask what I was looking for. I got a strange look when I said I wanted W10 Home cause it would get wiped anyway. I don't think she thought I was serious.

It is also a free trial weekend for the game on Steam, for anyone wanting to fire it up and see what they think.

I've been using Duplicati where I need a standalone backup of a thing. Web based management interface makes it super simple to manage.

To add to this- I have an error that started appearing after updating their Fedora 29 and 30 instances. Further testing found that the error appears in different regions using their server type template installers or even a custom iso option that I used with net install. All I have to do is deploy, run dnf update and reboot. The error is present in every boot after the update. https://mangolassi.it/topic/19903/fedora-29-and-30-edac-skx-can-t-get-tolm-tohm-error-on-vultr

Vultr support was interested after my previous response. "We understand your concerns and appreciate you bringing issues to our attention, however, we are not seeing this issue with our Fedora 30 build when running updates. It is possible that something is different when upgrading the distribution manually and this is not something we would be able to troubleshoot as we are not seeing the issue. Does the OS itself throw an error when attempting the update? If there is an error being throw by the OS we can try to assist in figuring out what it means and try to point you in the right direction, but as a self-managed service our in depth troubleshooting steps for software issues is extremely limited. Thank you for your understanding." I provided them with specifics on how to produce the error.

Works from version 57 and newer. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Headless_mode Thanks. I won't be able to use this with brightsign, but it might work if I have to run windows for a site that I can't view a public dashboard.

I know you were just explaining how to do it but this is a simple task with Ansible. - name: Ensure user exists user: name: Joe state: present password: "password_hash" groups: wheel, libvirt Instead of needing the hash up front you can do things like: {{ Password1234 | password_hash('sha512') }}

@scottalanmiller said in Linux CP command - Estimate MBs: You can use cp and see progress using a separate tool, like progress. But cp itself can't do it. Gotcha.

Okay so figured it out with this guide. From Windows administrative Powershell ssh-keygen type C:\Users\<username>\.ssh\id_rsa.pub | ssh user@linuxserver 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys' Exit administrative Powershell Open Powershell ssh user@linuxserver Logged in.

@black3dynamite said in Salt - Can't Connect to Minions After Adding Them to Master: I sometimes have to add --timeout 60 so I can see a response salt FP01.domain.local test.ping --timeout 60 Seems to be working. I think that it was the firewall needing the exception AND using the --timeout 60 Thanks!

I've done both. I tend to like MariaDB / MySQL better because that is what I'm more comfy with.

@BraswellJay Just a note for next time, from the installer you can ctrl+alt+F2, this will drop you into a console where you can fix these kinds of issues without needing to boot into another thing.

We got it. Had to open the Nginx logs and noticed too many "posts" in the error log. Dug in and it was three ranges overseas all hitting with a "post timeout attack." It was a light DDoS where sessions were being opened and held causing nginx to wait on a timeout. This caused Apache to just increment forever. Once we blocked those ranges, the Apache thread count started to drop for the first time, and memory started to release. And the continuous flood of nginx error logs ceased. If you are looking at nginx error logs, this is what you look for: upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: You can use this command to collect the offending IP addresses: grep "upstream timed out" error.log | cut -d' ' -f20 Then use your firewall to shut them down. We are all good now! Woot.

Well let's talk about fedora and updating killing a laptop lol....

@Dashrender said in Fedora 30 LAMP Web Server Varnish Cache Broken After Update: @scottalanmiller said in Fedora 30 LAMP Web Server Varnish Cache Broken After Update: @Obsolesce said in Fedora 30 LAMP Web Server Varnish Cache Broken After Update: Wow so they just decide to up and change ports? And I thought Windows updates were bad... They accidentally hard coded to the default. did you report it? Unlikely.

So, easy fix, the ca_stag2 was a staging DB that was not needed and was not current. The whole thing appears to have corrupted. So I simply "moved" that entire directory to /tmp (just in case I had to put it back) and then MySQL could fire up.

@scottalanmiller said in Updating to Fedora 30 Gives Pix Error: Doing an upgrade from Fedora 29 to Fedora 30 and you get... Error: Problem: package pix-1.8.2-1.fc29.x86_64 requires libexiv2.so.26()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed - exiv2-libs-0.26-12.fc29.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository - problem with installed package pix-1.8.2-1.fc29.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages) This seems to happen with most normal workstation installs of Fedora. Easiest thing to do is simply remove Pix. sudo dnf remove pix -y Your update should work fine after that. I don't ever use it. But, yeah it is there by default.

@StuartJordan I kinda like the netplan approach (ducks for cover)

@DustinB3403 said in What is the difference between Dead and Failed for service status?: @IRJ Did you look at journalctl to see what the logs say? He doesn't care about why things are failed. He just wants the states. It is for monitoring and automation.
