What Enclosure are you using for your 2.5" Server? Cause I'm currently faced with the same "issue" here, I got a R815 from a friend but have a few 3.5" HDDs I want to use with it, however the USB 3.0 enclosure I got which holds 4 drives doesn't play nicely with an unpowered USB 3.0 PCI card, it seems to really bug out and throw errors, and then ESXi just goes ahead and handles the drives at 2.0 speeds. I don't want to use too much extra power creating a extra NAS or something, so kind of searching for a "dumb" solution ^^

Interesting video, thanks. At 8:30 you talked about running containers on Proxmox as well as VMs - presumably those can only be Linux (vs VMs), I was wondering what the benefits of running those in Proxmox vs Docker were?

@AwesomeOpenSource

2 жыл бұрын

So Proxmox lets me spin up LXC containers, which are a little different from Docker. LXC emulates the entire OS, but not the hardware, while VMs emulate hardware and OS, and docker emulates just what's needed for the app. So LXC gives you a full Linux OS while consuming only a fraction of the hardware resources. AS for Proxmos, it gives me a nice dashboard, and view of what I'm running as well as quick controls to spin up / down what I need. For testing scripts, etc. I can spin up a Linux VM in seconds, and if I bork it, I just destroy it and do it again.

Don't know that it makes my tech better. I just like using Docker because it allows me to easily spin something up, try it, and just destroy it completely from my system without worrying about left over files or configs hanging around causing havoc on my host system or host VM. Docker is far lighter weight than a full VM, and I can setup multiple applications on a single server and have them be completely separated from each other, or set them up to communicate as needed. That said, I run my network for education, for my family, and my work from home job. So it's a bit more complicated than most home networks.

how many physical servers do you have at your house?

@AwesomeOpenSource

10 ай бұрын

I currently run 3 physical servers. 1 is my main (production server), 1 is a TrueNAS server for backups, and 1 is a testing server that I use for learning before making a video and putting things into production.

Do you know of any great open source tools that provide desktop monitoring and rmm, similar to Net Monitor for Employees Pro only would allow connection/monitoring when not connected to the home network?

@AwesomeOpenSource

Let me think about that one. I'll see what I can find, but need to research Net Monitor and Employees Pro to understand what exactly they do.

@@AwesomeOpenSource That would be cool mate. Net Monitor *for* Employees Pro as the name suggests is intended for real time monitoring of employees or students on your network. It's really intended for deployments of 20 or more systems but I don't use it for that many systems. I've been using it for a few years now to manage my windows servers and monitor my families PCs. The default dashboard provides a small live remote desktop view of each system with a user selectable refresh rate. From there you can zoom in on a system *without* taking remote control (which is great when kids are meant to be doing an assignment that's due tomorrow but you suspect they're watching KZread instead). Sessions can be recorded with remote screen capture so you have evidence the event took place, and recording can be set to automatically start on trigger, at tined intervals or at specific time of day. You can choose to take remote control at any time. There is one directional messaging that can be set to full screen remotely and refuse to close without user acknowledgement. Messages can be sent to any combination of systems (agents) from a single computer to network wide. There is remote resources management, processes/services can be started or killed remotely, as can full programs, websites and even scripts. Anything you open can have elevation of privilege applied. Remote file management is there. There are website blacklists and whitelists, and the ability to blacklist based on specific url or based on keyword appearing in the url. There are reports detailing application & website usage, as well as a keystroke logger which is a useful security tool when managing web facing servers, but I suspect is intended for overly zealous corps who want to see what their employees are doing. I only use it as a safety on my servers though. It also has desktop sharing, so the administrator can share their desktop to any other system, or share the desktop of any system with any other system. I find that useful for throwing desktops up on TVs if there's no other way to cast that thing. For example games. This mode also has a whiteboard feature which I find useful for family meetings like when we're planning a camping trip, I can throw a website up on the living room TV and I can grant whiteboard access to everyone elses laptops so we can discuss and plan together. Lastly it has the pretty standard remote controls like workstation locking, remote ctrl+alt+del, remote shutdown, blank screen, disable mouse/keyboard/USB/printing/sound/task manager/etc As I say I've been using it for a few years now and whilst it does have some bugs it mostly fits my needs. The big problems I have are that it doesn't work on android so there's no remote management of phones which would be handy. But the real problem is it is restricted to only on the same physical network (can work across vLANs), and does not work over the internet when either the administrator or the agent system are off the network. My NextCloud install has a tendency to stop it's docker instance whenever I specifically leave the house, then my wife starts messaging me panicking her photos aren't getting backed up. It would be nice to be able to restart that while I'm away. Conversely, my kids schools do everything via laptops. For what I hope are obvious reasons I haven't given them the administrative passwords for their laptops, they operate in a windows standard user interface. Sometimes however they need to install new software while at school so I have a child messaging me, then we have to initiate a remote access session using zoho remote so I can type in a password. That's a lot of fussing around so it would be nice to just load their desktops remotely with a single click as I do at home to complete the password. Whilst I'm certainly happy to pay for software that could do those last two things, if you have an open source solution that I can donate to instead all the better.
