The last time I set up Graylog I had to configured SELinux.

Allow the web server to access the network:
sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1

Graylog REST API and web interface:
sudo semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 9000

Elasticsearch (only if the HTTP API is being used):
sudo semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 9200

Allow using MongoDB default port (27017/tcp):
sudo semanage port -a -t mongod_port_t -p tcp 27017

@DustinB3403 said in Tar gzip file compression calculation without decompressing the file:

@Pete-S So the simplest way I can think to explain this would be like this.

You have a network share which is relatively organized

You create a compressed tarball of any folder on that share and then move that tarball to offsite storage.

How would I realistically get a hash of that folder pre and post tar and compression and have it make sense? They aren't the same thing, even if they contain the same things.

@Pete-S said in Tar gzip file compression calculation without decompressing the file:

Is it safe to assume that the gzip file is correct when it is created?

This is what I'm looking to verify 🙂

I'm assuming that files are static during backup.

If you first of all run md5deep on all files in the folder, you'll create a textfile that contains md5 (or sha256 or what you want) signatures on every file in the folder. Place it into the folder so it ends up inside the backup and you'll always have the ability to verify any uncompressed individual file.

If you really want to verify your tar.gz file after it's created I think you have to decompress the files to a temporary folder, run md5deep on the files to compare them with the original file. What you really are testing is that the backup-compress-decompress-restore operation is lossless on every file. It should be by design, but if there is an unlikely bug somewhere it's technically possible that it might not be.

If you use the gzip compression with tar, gzip has a CRC-32 checksum inside that can be used to verify the integrity of the gzip file.

Or to be even more certain you can create an md5 signature of the entire gzip archive with md5sum or md5deep. Then you can always verify that the archive has not been corrupted.

If you ever need to restore the files you can verify the integrity of the restored files with the md5 you created on the original files, before you did the backup.

Your more than welcome to dive into https://issurvivor.com/ and search his archives

His only mention of MSP is from Nov, 2000 when he discovered the term. And he talks about ASPs as well. I had started my first of both, over a hear before he heard the terms 🙂

https://issurvivor.com/2000/11/20/trend-overload-first-appeared-in-infoworld/

It really was a new term at the time. But he acts like the concept was new. It was very tried and true in the 1990s. It's an ancient article, just funny that in late 2000 he was thinking that MSPs were some hot, new thing, lol.

A shameless twitter plug

@Pete-S said in HFSPlus Read Write access on Fedora:

Why not Paragon drivers on Windows instead?

Virtualize and pass through to the VM.

Because I am operating this from fedora to sync the data to cloud.

Plus I need my work laptop portable.

Of something to note, this same format works for iPhone text messages, but not Android. This isn't an ordeal for me (as most of our user base are iPhone users) but might be worth looking into further to figure out why it works for one but not the other.

I've exported his PDF's and converted them to ODT files for editing, they are currently available from Github here I've sent @Ylian an email requesting he pull these files over so the community can assist with updating this documentation.

@DustinB3403 Hello, yes you right, i haven't setup a certificate for wazo-plaform.org. My mistake, it was on my todo list, but i didn't have time to setup it. But now, it's done.

As an additional option, if you don't want your workstation to automatically connect to this network (on startup, while roaming etc) use this

networksetup -removedpreferredwirelessnetwork Interface SSID

That disables the autojoin functionality on OSX 10.14.6, but you would still have connected to the network from the initial answer.

Looks like adding under [Timer]

OnBootSec=10min OnUnitActiveSec=4h

Would do what I'm looking for, going to test.

@black3dynamite No change, still getting a blank connection.

Just a black session.

No dice just yet, finishing a beer and headed home. Going to see if this can get resolved tomorrow.

Never mind, twas a permissions issue.

Worth noting on this that while sync works, copy is the much safer option.

So

rclone copy source:/path dest:/path is what I'll likely end up using. In any case, the resulting solution still works.

Still need to tweak OSX a bit as it seems to kill the SSH session after some time for sporadic reasons - still testing but I may end up having to add ServerAliveInterval 120 to /etc/ssh/ssh_config to resolve that issue.

@scottalanmiller said in SSH Access to Windows 10 Pro Workstations:

On Server, no issue. SSH the same as with Linux. SSH on Windows 10 is "single user" just like anything else on Windows 10.

So then why would they have the statement about "usually to correct problems" as to me this would be a two person use. One who is using the desktop and the other administrator who is working on fixing an issue via ssh (presumably while the other user is using said system).

I'm not bothering to reread anything, but MS has long allowed admin connections.

Yes this has been a known fact for as long as i can remember... Admins are exempt for administrative purposes.

I think I may have found a quicker/more clean means of doing this with just

Get-ChildItem -Path "Drive-Letter" -Recurse -Force

It prints everything out to the console or to a file for review, than you just have to read it.

Why not filter out the files that you don't need to rename?
Summat like:

(Get-ChildItem -Path "path\to\folder" -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.Name -contains '•'} | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.Name -replace '•',''} -verbose -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable daError)

@Pete-S Using a bullet point in a damn folder or file name is not at all normal!

Just discovered that someone on this forum was sending us files with bullet points in their names. But they are printable in our systems and cause no issues.

What file system are you using, some of the bullet points I've found are for actually creating the blip noises on archaic systems.

Don't know, our storage is a cloud platform.
