I need self hosted, open source; above my pay grade

@DustinB3403
I used:
sudo bash
sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_installer/master/xo_install.sh | bash

But I had to make the change manually.

[Edit]
Mmm... I remember that something didn't work after I configured the reverse proxy and changed the listening port. I had lots of problems but discarded the nginx part as it was working flawlessly so I I tried to update (don't ask, the brain works weird past mid night).
After that I copied the sample config.

So, disregard my post if you use the OP installer. For sure I messed something in my installation

@dbeato
Shame on me for skipping that part, I lost about 1 hour. In my defense, their documentation is not consistent (so I was kind of lost).

• Here it is recommending packages/xo-server/.xo-server.yaml
• I remember having used packages/xo-server/.config.yaml
• Now I'm using /etc/xo-server/config.yaml per https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/configuration.html

Thank you!

I'm looking for an open source helpdesk/ticket system and RT is an option. With a lot others, old and new players:
https://osticket.com/
http://www.faveohelpdesk.com/
https://helpy.io/
http://handesk.io/
etc.

As far as I have been able to understand, RT is the most configurable of all of them.
The problem is: Too much to do and so little time

Playing with UpCloud & Hetzner Cloud, so far so good

As it may help someone else:
I just made a new installation of XO Community (xo-server 5.32.2, xo-web 5.32.1) and found a problem with the web interface not fully working. As I use nginx as a reverse SSL proxy and HTTP authenticator I needed a custom .config.yaml

It happens that the included sample.config.yaml is not ready to be used (it's a sample, I get it). The mounts: section does not include the required files to be served.
Mine, which is a default installation worked with:

  mounts:
    '/': '/opt/xen-orchestra/packages/xo-web/dist'

Got it. I was speaking on a purely technical way, but that’s a limited view.

@magicmarker said in Correct license for a Win 10 Veeam backup server on Type-1 Hypervisor:

What is the typical Veeam backup server OS recommendation for SMB then? Should I be looking at going with a Windows 2016 OS instead?

We always use Windows Server 2016 with ReFS. Another option recommended by Veeam is Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, especially if you are going to use ReFS

@scottalanmiller
No issues, just a normal migration. Its the platform that I don't like:

• Patches/Upgrades can break the sites
• It is a blog platform morphed to a CMS
• URLs in the database
• More I don't want to remember

Migrating a medium sized WordPress site to a new server. I don't like WP

My Open Source solution of choice is Mailcow.

I'm looking into MailCow now with the holidays approaching (a little more free time... hahaha, not really) and it looks really slick.

Free time? What is a "free time"?

@magicmarker
I see 2 conditions for that to work:

1. Never process the file until it is completely written/received
2. The bar code software must not lock the file exclusively so all branches can use it (possibly) at the same time

@magicmarker

Yes, you can completely automate the text import into your DB with SQL File Import. You create your job, then setup a scheduled task in the application.

Then I think that you have your solution: SQL File Import connects to every major data source, even the free ones discussed here

@scottalanmiller

Why? ODBC isn't limited to RDBMS.

https://redislabs.com/redis-enterprise/connectors/odbc-jdbc-connectors/

Yes, I remember using it to connect to Excel.

@JaredBusch
And what is the SSIS equivalent for MariaDB?

@magicmarker
I am almost sure SSIS needs Standard+
A python, powershell, etc. script would do but needs programming time.

SQL File Import looks nice. Can it be automated?

@JaredBusch
I just tried: ODBC can be used to connect to SQL Server Express, just be carefull with the instance name

For what I understand, your label software uses ODBC to connect to the database. For a 1GB Database SQL Server Express sounds right unless you have something not included in that edition. Otherwise, Postgres and MariaDB are great.
How are you importing the text files, a script?

@JaredBusch
Exactly, that is the problem with simple synchronization and Veeam Repositories. I have been thinking of using restic (or borg) to backup as restic's Content Defined Chunking only stores blocks once and should not be affected that much by Veeam's retention merges.
Also, restic can mount the backups with fuse

(Edit: spelling)

@scottalanmiller
I agree: My mistake
