@jaredbusch said in Install NextCloud 11 on Fedora 25 with SaltStack:

@scottalanmiller why install a proxy when Apaches here and working what is the benefit to having a proxy on the same server. Let’s Encrypt perfectly with Apache

Security and flexibility typically. Here is the admitted marketing material from Nginx on security: "Security and anonymity – By intercepting requests headed for your backend servers, a reverse proxy server protects their identities and acts as an additional defense against security attacks. It also ensures that multiple servers can be accessed from a single record locator or URL regardless of the structure of your local area network."

Well it is specifically Android TV, so if you want the Android TV OS, interface and compatibility. It's a video gaming platform as well as television system.

Its not through. Its a stock Android 5.1 image that requires you to get a media style interface from the Play Store, rather than a "proper" Android TV system.

Weird, maybe they pulled the version. They have Android 7 TV...

@flabbergastedFiltch said in Linux: Finding Files:

Yea, Scott's reply led me to:

find . -name "*\ " -print

Not a big leap.

Now I'm all the way down the rabbit hole of xargs, grep, and perhaps sed (?)

Using FreeBSD on EMC Isilon.

I have to do this a lot, but the creative way users name files is ever changing:
filename.
filename. [filename dot space]
file*name

One or Two files (even 10) and I'd use mv to rename the files and remove the space or period or add extension, etc... This list represents just one folder out of a few hundred that have some gremlin preventing Windows NT Backup (don't ask) from taking a backup and deleting the originals.

Thanks for the reply and nudge. Now back to it after I change my Job Description on Linkedin to "Frustrated wannabe Software Developer".

As much as I like giant one liners, the best tool for this would be rename.

To remove a period just do

find . -type f -exec rename "." "" {} \;

You don't technically need to use find, but if the files span multiple directories it's easier.

I'm not seeing any Marked improvements in World of Warcraft at the moment. It does seem a little smoother though.

Did you use my instructions for Zimbra with Apache on CentOS?

https://mangolassi.it/topic/8344/installing-zimbra-email-8-6-on-centos-7

Oops. 🙂

Well, it's something to use until they vanish again, at least, lol. I'd like to see a self hosted version of something like this.

@scottalanmiller said in What Linux Are You Running:

CentOS is based on Fedora. But one is about long term support and one is about currency. If Fedora seems weird to you, so would Ubuntu as they both match a six month cycle. Fedora just has the long term support option of CentOS that Ubuntu lacks (they have the name, but not the product.)

The advantage to Fedora or Ubuntu is in currency. Packages are updated every six months, everything from Node to the kernel. So you get new features much earlier. For example PHP7 is standard on Fedora for some time, but nowhere close for CentOS. If you are running modern web apps, like NextCloud, there are some pretty huge benefits from not getting outdated.

Updating every six months instead of every several years (about three or four) means that updates are typically small and incremental rather than large and cumbersome. Updating becomes a normal process and newer security features are available too, just like new stability features. Suse takes this even farther with rolling updates.

The idea behind LTS releases like CentOS is that you can stagnate on a platform and ignore it for a long time. This, of course, has value. But we aren't a stagnant company. We have active support and want the latest features and latest software. We aren't looking for vendors to blame, so long term lock ins to known platforms lacks the value that it might have in a slower moving company.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Ya with a preallocated qcow2 I can get pretty close to raw speeds. No one is going to notice 10MB/s or even 20 in normal settings.

@PenguinWrangler said in Simple NethServer 7 ISO Installation:

Has anyone ever used SME Sever? http://wiki.contribs.org? Looks similar to NethServer, not as up to date of an interface it appears but I have used it at locations and it works well. It is based on CentOS.

Actually, NethServer is based off SME Server:

https://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=49865.0

That's the reason for the similarity.

Using NETHServer as a DHCP server works well. It is easy to manage and add static reservations to my systems.

Just as a comparison, here's what it would look like with Ansible:
