What about simple 2 bay NAS? I think there are ownCloud add-on packages for a lot of different NAS vendors.

Was going to suggest this too, we have a readynas and it has a local OwnCloud app if you want it

It just amazed me how many people, even if you don't know who there are just jump in and offer support and advice on something that is so personnel to someone. Not just to me but like i said the spiceworks thread.

I know no matter what happens i will get through it either way. Just makes me sad that i know you wouldn't really see this kind of support on other places like Facebook.

@dafyre messaged me today and i must say what he said is ture.

Crap happening is a good way to find out who your real friends are

Also from a post on Spiceworks about stress and the over wheming response by people got me thinking and i need to say this,

I guess some people have guessed something is up in my life, i'll give you the basics. Wife has cheated on me, we are trying to get our heads straight see if we are going to give it another go (well she's still thinking i know i want her lol)

Anyway i have been messaged by so many "strangers" over the last few weeks makes me so glad to be part of two great communities that people will offer tips/advice and even direct message you to check how your doing.
What makes this even more special to me is the fact NONE (none is a bit harsh, maybe two but one i'm staying with at the moment.) of my so called friends around me havn't even messaged me to see how i've been doing for the last 2 months.

Well thats enough Emotional stuff for one night lol.

Good guide. I've got another good tip. Switch off your phone!!!!

1. Setting up Brother-In-Law laptop as his Xmas present.
2. Doing a document for Management to ask for £17K to install Sophos Firewalls in a few places.
3. Wishing I could rewind time to stop the heart hurting so much.

Best get some update done tomorrow

Thinking I should make a "To Do"/Project list.

Looks interesting... Just wish with all these things we could have a "trial" of them see if they do fit and work the way we want them to.

Not really that familiar with it. Company we bought out had it. What's the process of moving it to another domain?

Expensive! We've done this early this year.
Well I didn't we got the specialists in, basically we didn't change the domain as it means going into the SQL database and changing a lot of stuff.
What we ended up going is leaving the underlining domain the same and just put an alias over the top with the new domain name.

Easy way is to start with the recommended minimums and monitor over time. Watch the systems to see what the memory is doing and tune up or down as needed. We have a good idea about certain workloads that we deploy regularly so can set good starting points very easily. But for new workloads, you can put in a reasonable guess and then tune.

What's the best method to "monitor" the resources in Linux?

Waiting to go,
going to see the kids school play.

@scottalanmiller Any tips on how to tune a Linux machine?
I'll be running
Unifi Controller V4
Zabbix (Latest Version)
Snipe-IT - once they develop the fixed asset number thingy

@RojoLoco
Or the O2 Hurricane

http://www.amazon.com/Best-Canned-Compressed-Air-Alternative/dp/B00DYC3EKO

We've been looking at this range. They seem ok and might save a bit in the long run on us buying air cans.

trying to concentrate on work and not what the future will bring as at the moment I have no idea! and its killing me!

Are you making Ansible or Chef recipes to handle all of this? Are you moving to DevOps? Unless those things are true, no Docker won't make any sense for you. Containers do not really lighten the load on your hypervisor, that's not the reason for using them.

No so I think small VM's is for me lol
