@FATeknollogee said in oVirt Host Choices for Production:

@EddieJennings I would start by using oVirt Node (it's based on CentOS), it's the simplest, least hassled way of setting up.

Yeah, they have their own Node deployer, I'd generally just use that.

Just curious what role this server will be playing...

Web server

Worth noting that the issue comes back when you upgrade to Fedora 31 as well. Same fix still applies.

@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)

Upgraded from F29 to 30, also switched to Deepin.
So far, I'm liking the Deepin desktop.

it relies on DNS (or hosts files) to resolve itself and generate SSL certs, this has to work before you install the engine. If it did work, and you still get this error, this is a bug

@scottalanmiller Sounds solid. The speed difference is dramatic. Thanks.

I'll wait for when Fedora 30 is released.

@wrx7m said in Resolved - Postfix on Fedora 29 - Why Can't I Send Mail?:

It applied to the instance (multiple servers)

FFS no. That is not what anything is.

It applied to the Account. Which contains multiple instances.
Instances that could be servers or desktops or WTF ever.

My apologies. I meant to put account.

OSTicket is not a solution I can use, because I need time tracking also.

I never saw a plugin for that for OSTicket.

@JaredBusch said in Setting Up a Standard MySQL or MariaDB Database for an Application:

I like my approach to setting this up.

Obviously, install MySQL/MariaDB first as noted above.

Then do the following. This all needs done in the same SSH session, but otherwise things are simple.

Choose once of these exports for your DB root password.

The first one is for you to specify, the second generates a random one and echo's it back to you.

# Specify your own password for MariaDB root user export DB_ROOT_PASS="somebigpasswordgoeshere" # Generate a random password for MariaDB root user export DB_ROOT_PASS="$(head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 30)" echo "This is your MariaDB root password: $DB_ROOT_PASS" Specify the application database name and application user name # Database user to use for application export DB_USER='yourusername' # Database name to use for application export DB_NAME='yourdatabasename' Generate or specify a random password for the database user # Specify your own password for the application's database user export DB_PASS="somebigpasswordgoeshere" # Generate a random password for the application's database user export DB_PASS="$(head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 30)" echo "This is your password for the application user: $DB_PASS" Then create the application database, use, and grant access. mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE $DB_NAME;" mysql -e "CREATE USER '$DB_USER'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$DB_PASS';" mysql -e "GRANT ALL ON $DB_NAME.* TO '$DB_USER'@'localhost';" mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" Finally, lock down the system without the interactive requirement of mysql_secure_installation # Secure MariaDB (this does what mysql_secure_installation performs without interaction) mysql -e "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('$DB_ROOT_PASS') WHERE User='root';" mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='root' AND Host NOT IN ('localhost', '127.0.0.1', '::1');" mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='';" # Beginning on some version of MariaDB after Fedora 29 was released, the test DB is no longer there by defualt. mysql -e "DROP DATABASE test;" mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"

Your approach makes it easier to use as part of a script.

It also generates random passwords, which I prefer.

@dyasny said in Virt-Manager on multiple pc's:

if you have an ovirt-engine somewhere central, that can reach to all the other locations, you can create a datacentre per location and place standalone hosts in there, using local storage.

Never thought about that. That's a great idea.

You can use CUPS Command Line

lpadmin -p PrinterName -E -v socket://ip.address.of.printer -m printerdriver.ppd

Aren't printers and configs saved in a file somewhere? If so, could I copy that file to other minions, similar to remmina connection files as discussed in the other thread?

I did not see your other thread but let me check.

It does look nice though which can't be said for a lot of them.

That is the reason I looked at it. The view was solid.

Good stuff.

If you change the entire folder to HTTPD_RW it will work without disabling things.

Ah yeah, probably this. SELinux is a complete mystery to me :man_shrugging:

ls -lashZ /var/www/html Will show you the context on your Nextcloud folder. Technically, just the Z is for the context
