I was thinking "what is a Sys Admin" but guessing from the topics you can see what one does.
I always get confused what "duties" people associate with all the different titles in IT
e.g. I'm down as being Infrastructure/Network Manager. But in peoples views where do my duties start and end?
(But maybe this is for another topic)
@travisdh1 said in Port scanning tools:
That's really just nmap. Nothing wrong with using it, it is the official GUI frontend for nmap.
Yeah but saves me learning nmap commands 
@marcinozga said in Influxdb 2 - SSL:
On the same line as the command you're running, before it. So su -c command
But I think you're approaching this from wrong angle. Why don't you put reverse proxy in front of your services, like Nginx, Traefik, or Caddy and handle SSL certs there, and leave services as they are.
I did consider it, but that's the easy way out 
But if I want this to run as a service so after reboots it just works, where am I putting that?
As I've looked at the influxdb.service file and it has the exec line, but putting the whole command in there it doesn't run.
I've been running influx 1.7 and older versions of Telegraf and Grafana fine (non https). So thought it time to upgrade.
So i've installed influxdb 2.02 and Telegraf 1.16.2 on CentOS8 using the RPM packages from the site.
Then running the normal
systemctl start influxdb
I can log in fine http://dnsname:8086
But i now want to add SSL
I've installed and got some Certs and Keys via Letsncrypt but had to play with the permissions to get this command to work:-
influxd --tls-cert="/etc/letsencrypt/live/<domain>/fullchain.pem" --tls-key="/etc/letsencrypt/live/<domain>/privkey.pem"
That runs and i get influxdb on https://dnsname:8086 now
But how do I get that command to run as the influxdb service?
Personally i always like to match RAM -
Size
Make
Speed etc.
@NashBrydges said in Pick Your Brains - What would you do - Unifi Video Deprecated:
- The Unifi Video software will be EoL effective Jan 1 2021. UBNT will no longer release any software or security updates for this so I need to move off this platform before then (I know, I've been procrastinating).
Out of interest.
Are they replacing the Video software for something you can run "on-prem" or can you only use the new stuff with their NVR/hardware devices

@nadnerB I don't get this one.

Started to feel some pain, and rashes have started to appear.
Phoned the docs and they warned of possible 4 weeks of pain, high temp, rash itching 
ho joy thanks doc lol
Been busy day.
Went into the office for a recycling collection.
Mostly printers
Then went out for dinner on way home
Did some Grafana/Telegraf/influx. Gave up deleted the VM and started again. But found a guide to install all 3 and secure it all, where I was using different guides.
Put the rubbish out normally an easy task but we've been sorting the bedroom out, also had a 4 pcs and a new desk delivered so had a few extra boxes and packaging.
Now watching Task Master
On-site waiting for a 4G router to be installed

Dish doesn't look too bad, modem i guess just follows cyber truck lol. Interested in seeing how this goes and when world coverage goes. As in the UK we still have not spots for Broadband and 4G. If the price is right might get it for home, I'm only on 50-60Mb connection.
Watching the news and getting a bit confused whats happening in the American with the voting.
About to Troubleshoot Unifi Zabbix SNMPv3 issues.
More grafana/telegraf/influx stuff in between making some new Citrix machines.
