You might look at VMQ.. it is supposedly not a problem anymore. but meh...

I would second this -- both at the HOST and inside the VMs (if it's there).

LPI Linux Essentials = passed. Now on to work in our wonderful Windows and XenApp environment.

I should hope the irony is not lost on you, lol.

Doesn't HP have a software based VSAN as well?

Dealing with the leavings from someone who refused to do things correctly with ESXi. No cpu or memory hot plug enabled and only 2GB of ram on a Windows Server VM... yeah, just so bad as you think. At least it's only a DC and not something important. That waits till some other time

Do you need more than 2 go for a DC?

I'd say no, unless you have several thousand users. Our student domain has nearly 35k accounts and roughly 10k that are heavily used... actual RAM usage is ~4gb (the servers are given 8gb).

You were keeping track of this for a while, lol. Whatever happened to that thread?

Had deployed SW on-premise in my previous employment, I do not know how it will fare out after reading the news earlier. It has been rock solid even when others had an issue logging in when a problem struck...it seemed that my installation was not affected then.

I've tried and really liked osTicket but I am now testing GLPI. I was looking into a ticketing system with inventory and the features which tied the ticket to a person and/or hardware and keep its history (like SW). GLPI with FusionInventory seemed to be just that.

Let me know if you need any help, I've been dealing with the inventory side of that combo for going on 3 years now. Going to be getting more into the data-center / server room management side of it with the management and financials stuff next week.

With GLPI? I need to install that one again and poke around.

I've not used Wasabi yet. Is there object storage offering the same as Vultr?

S3 compatible, yes.

Never heard of Wasabi until now. Pricing is very good.

They are excellent. Their speeds are decent too! I use them for off-site backups of my NextCloud and Plex. Up to ~2TB now.

Set that up in cron to run it on a schedule.

@DustinB3403 said in MySQL MariaDB password reset without knowing the password:

So I've been able to reset the root mysql user password, which is great, so now that's secured and functional. Now I just need to change the database user password and update the config file for said new password.

But to figure out how the password is hashed. . .

That should be easy as above... Change the DB user's password, and then update the config file in the application to use the right password.

Did that not work?

@mlnews interesting. But not married women?

Apparently men's hearts don't get broken.

I need to ask some missionary friends of mine about this. They'll be getting back to Tanzania in about a week, lol.

Do they need to register as being married?

Dunno yet. I'll find out, lol.
