Re: Part 2 :Failure to access repositories when installing Ubuntu 23.10 and 22.04 on Proxmox

[Todd Cole via PLUG-discuss]

proxmox 8 has all network connections routed thu the proxmox firewall
proxmox upgrades add the firewall to each vm
you can disable that by checking the network setup on each VM and uncheck
the firewall
I have working ubuntu desktops and servers 18.04-24.04 running on proxmox
8.1-4
also uefi and tpm working on some VM's on a old host that does not support
it so it a nice way to learn and test

Re: RAM Upgrade is this the correct RAM?

[Todd Cole via PLUG-discuss]

I have run into issues where cpu can handle more ram than the motherboard
can recognize. I have also had success using more than OEM specs
bios upgrade may also increase  motherboard ram capacity   trial and error
has and does work sometimes if you really need the extra ram.

Re: Server CPU

[Todd Cole via PLUG-discuss]

I use a lot of proxmox servers and very happy with them most are for small
office use running a router, win server and  samba file server and a win 10
for remote users to vpn into
most of the hardware is used dell 4-6th gen I-7 (cheap 4 cores 8 virtual)
with zfs raid 1 2 SSD's for redundancy and a spinner HDD for back up 32-64
gb ram and meet my needs
with ease. both at home and work.
I have used rack servers but they are hard to fit on a shelf, HOT and use a
lot of power and sound like a jet taking off. (I have a few to donate free)
my point is do not over think or spend money to build a home lab or
hardware that you will need to replace due to your use case.
I still have one on a duel core 8 gb ram 2 250GB spinning disks that I use
as a router and zoneminder camera DVR in a un air conditioned vacant office
it just chugs along in 118 heat
I have a twin to it that is all set up ready to run that I would be willing
donate also. Todd

Re: Public raspberrypi https/mail/dns... on Cox Cable

[Todd Cole via PLUG-discuss]

you could use a switch between cox and then use any combination of rasp
pi's and routers set to static IP's and maintain several firewalls
Intrusion protection geo blocking ect on each but a single device is easier
to maintain
Linux=1000 ways to do the same thing all right and wrong depending on who

Re: Public raspberrypi https/mail/dns... on Cox Cable

[Todd Cole via PLUG-discuss]

others here are correct cheap consumer routers rarley have the option to
handle multiple ip's
better routers do. It is built in ipfire ( my choice of routers) on a old
computer with 2-4 network cards or in a vm also works and I think it is
available in
pfsence or opensence and DDWRT just add a alias IP and then port forward to
the server you want it togo to.

Re: Linux and Intel RST

[Todd Cole via PLUG-discuss]

I have a laptop setup similar. it had space for a 2.5 ssd and a nvme so zfs
*RAID-Z1* worked well. They are not the same speed but zfs raid 1 was worth
it to me and still very fast for my uses.
I currently have it *RAID-Z0 on it so that I have more room for my vm's but
no redundancy so i just have to backup vm's often *

Re: Unable to access Proxmox via browser

[Todd Cole via PLUG-discuss]

when you try to log into proxmoxI.E. https://IPADDRESS:8006
proxmox uses a self signed certificate that most web browsers will show a
warning because it is self signed and you have to accept or approve it
depending on what web browser you are using it you may need to go to
advanced or accept or...

Re: Proxmox

[Todd Cole via PLUG-discuss]

The virtualbox in the repo is 1 version older than from the website   I.E
6-7  I am using vb 7 in 5-6 laptops with guest additions and bridged
network on some and NAT  on others as need for each project
while virtualbox is based on qemu it not fully open source if that matters
but it is one of the easiest to use IMHO tho I have many proxmox machines
for work they have many more options with less overhead
in short if you need screen resolution or sound or usb use virtualbox.. If
you need help I will be online at the installfest bbb.azloco.net 10am to
4pm Sat  first and third saterdays

Re: Recommended affordable hardware for 4k video playback?

[Todd Cole via PLUG-discuss]

A raspberry pi can do 4K but they are backordered and sold out some reports
say maybe after the new year before orders catch up
most mid level video cards should do fine  but not much help for a laptop
for a laptop it will take a bunch of reading I am sure they are out there I
just have look for that 4K use with linux

Re: T-Mobile Home Internet via ethernet connection tip

[Todd Cole via PLUG-discuss]

CL fiber was add to my area this spring
70.00 940mbs up and down open ports no bandwith caps
there are also 250 and 500 mbs plans
I have not had to use support so far so no idea but so far it has no down
time
the only issue is my custom routers takes a hour to connect after a reboot
but I assume it is looking for the supplied  router that came with the
package

My migration notes to Libera.chat

[Todd Cole via PLUG-discuss]

For those that looking for info to join IRC Libera.chat I not a expert but
many hours of testing.

And I did push this out in a hurry so feel free to edit and improve.

Simple web page no install

https://web.libera.chat/

pick and nickname. If that one is used it fill in a generic unused one or
you may try another one

keep the channel as #libera press enter and you will be in the channel. At
this point you will not be able to chat until you register your nickname so
in the bottom line enter

/msg NickServ REGISTER (your password) (your email address)

no parentheses but a space between items

you will get a email with a code to enter

/msg NickServ IDENTIFY (your password)

no parentheses but a space between items

it should ask for your emailed code enter that code and you are now
registered

enter

/join #plugaz

enter and you are now able to chat

these commands should work with most any IRC client


For weechat on a Debian system in a terminal

sudo apt-get install weechat then enter computer password

then enter weechat wait till weechat is fully open then on the bottom line
enter

/server add libera irc.libera.chat:6697 -ssl -autoconnect   then
enter/connect libera  then enter

/msg NickServ REGISTER (your password) (your email address)

no parentheses but a space between items

you will get a email with a code to enter

/msg NickServ IDENTIFY (your password)

no parentheses but a space between items

it should ask for your emailed code enter that code and you are now
registered

enter

/join #plugaz

enter and you are now able to chat

I used this guide. I also used screen weechat-curses so I could move from
one computer to another

with ssh to the host then screen-dr and now I never miss a comment.

https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/using-weechat-for-irc/

a good cheat sheet is this

https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/opensourcedotcom-irc-cheatsheet.pdf


Libera.chat

https://libera.chat/

I also changed to SASL enter

/set irc.server.liberachat.sasl_mechanism PLAIN/set
irc.server.liberachat.sasl_username /set
irc.server.liberachat.sasl_password /save

https://libera.chat/guides/weechat

Re: Built for Failure

[Todd Cole via PLUG-discuss]

I have been using ZFS almost two years on servers and it is easy to deal
with drive replacements. I have even switched my desktops and laptops to
ubuntu 20.04 ZFS for the snapshots.
Issues are learning ZFS and Raids they are not real hard to learn but then
replacing drives as they fail = Time vs money saved Do you have the Time to
learn and spend swapping?
I have a old synology NAS you or someone  else can have that can be updated
to debian and ZFS 5 bay hot swap, great way to start out
