Issue summary: Hello, interested to monitor multiples distant locations. I want to have a master server AgentDVR in the cloud where I can check all locations at any moment. I have the problem I can't use the bandwith for recording to the server in the cloud because that will kill the internet bandwidth for the business purpose, so I assume I will need to have an Agent DVR in every place for local recording, is it possible to schedule the upload the recordings to the master server cloud during the night. Can I have such scenario; like a master AgentDVR server in the cloud and multiples AgentDVR at every single location and connect them all? Can I connect to the main server and be able to see any camera on any location ?
@SteeleTech7717 күн бұрын
This is something you can do. You could have a script on each local server copy the recordings to your master server, sorting by location/camera/date. If you are bandwidth capped then you probably could not have every camera added to the cloud server.

Is Linux Sys admin still relevant in 2024? I thought everyone was moving to DevOps and Cloud Computing
@SteeleTech77Ай бұрын
Still very relevant! Doing a job search online produces plenty of results. Even full cloud shops would hire sys admins for managing the OS (mostly large companies that can afford a large staff with specific duties).

Hi, I have 2 questions: 1) What happens when you want to free space on your phone? Cause after all, thats the point of unloading your media right? Not only to have a backup but also to not have a phone bursting with "hard" media... 2) How do you deal with doubles on your cloud storage? Or does your script ONLY uploads whatever new media it finds?
@SteeleTech77Ай бұрын
Great questions! Syncthing will mark the files as synced once copied, so as long as my script has run to move the synced photos to my NAS, I can delete off my phone (since it will also delete from the destination). It's a push only sync so when photos are deleted out of the sync folder, they stay on my phone until I free up space. Syncthing will only sync newly added files, so if they were already synced it will not copy again, even if deleted at the destination folder. Hopefully this makes sense.

I am more or less already familiar with 6 key points that you mentioned but one thing really slows me down is coding, do you code a lot other than Bash or Shell script?
@SteeleTech77Ай бұрын
Bash and python are what we use most in our environment. Bash for server maintenance/automation and python for managing switches. ChatGPT can really come in handy for solving a logic puzzle or generating code. It's not always 100%, but it will quickly help you get back on track. Spend more time in the logic and how to solve problems vs learning syntax. Of course each environment is different when it comes to scripting needs and some rely on it more than others.

I wouldn't say its that easy since almost 70 to 80 percent of the Linux Sysadmin jobs out there is in the DoD sector that often requires a Secrete or Top Secrete Clearance. You may find a few Red Hat jobs in finance and banks but no that many of those jobs exists. Most sysadmin jobs out there are mixed Windows and Linux environment. With more and more companies moving more to the cloud that less Linux Sysadmin jobs. DevOps Engineers, SRE Engineers and Cloud Engineers are the modern sysadmins today. Lots of Linux is used in the Cloud.
@SteeleTech77Ай бұрын
All valid points! The typical Linux Sys Admin is morphing into other job titles, however the Linux experience itself is still very valuable. Not everything is a SaaS solution so being a Linux admin, even in your own Homelab, is a pathway to DevOps. Like you said, "lots of Linux is used in the cloud." Thanks for your thoughts on this topic.
