@dustinb3403 No all the VM's are Linux. I don't want "Windows" people logging in and trying to install agents
Veeam B&R "server" needs to be on a Windows machine, i don't want to pay for a Server License just to run backup software.

Agentless is preferred as i need something i can just "hand over" if i leave or someone needs to restore as i don't want people having to install extra software into VM's. As most people here are "Windows" men, i wouldn't trust them in a Linux environment
This sound counterproductive to what you want than. Linux is simple and damn stable if it's known how to use the system.
Going with XO and XCP-ng is the polar opposite of your complaint about the "Windows men" though. While Hyper-V isn't Windows, it can look and feel exactly like Windows.
This might be worth a separate discussion though.

Why would you have them install the agent, just have it as a part of the template and it's already there when any new VM is created with that template.

Yeah but Hyper-V needs soooooo many hoops to jump through just to get the manager to work on a client machine.
-
@hobbit666 this is true, but it's the Windows standard.
A windows 10 system with the hyper-v manager role and you connect and manage the hyper-v fleet.
I agree that XO and XCP-ng can make it easy, but anyone using a tool they aren't familiar with at all can and will cause issues.

This is the problem, i've never been able to just install Hyper-V on a server then enable the Manager on a machine and it "Just" work. There has always been an issue with connection, with security, firewalls etc etc.
So a simple install this, install that then you login via a web interface

If the goal is a free backup solution and to use Hyper-V, why not veeam free using VeeamZip.
Is agentless a set-in-stone requirement?
Agentless is preferred as i need something i can just "hand over" if i leave or someone needs to restore as i don't want people having to install extra software into VM's. As most people here are "Windows" men, i wouldn't trust them in a Linux environment
As mentioned the host runs just Linux based machines so don't want to go out and buy a Win license just for the backup software.
You don't have to install Veeam on a VM on the host. Do you not have some random service desktop running Windows that can also run Veeam?

That's what we use. Vast improvement.

Has anyone tried osTicket v1.11.0-rc1 on Fedora?

@black3dynamite Nope, but I should investigate it. .

It provides show much more useful information about the VMs.

If I remember correctly, the issue I had when installing osTicket 1.10 on Fedora was related to the PHP version.

Ours is on CentOS 7 for that reason, if I remember correctly.

just got home,... trying to catch up here,.. was out early to go to a remote site as they has a dispatch position down. Omg - it hurts to think I can't just do what I would normally do to trouble shoot a failed hard drive,.. or have the tools / resources to just fix it....
We have to wait for a hard drive to be shipped from the vendor,.. with the OS and software installed.... I don't have the resources available to me to just take care of it.... and no / I mean... NO spares. Of anything.
How is it that this is 'okay' in the Emergency Management arena.
