Haha so maybe I was a little loose with my terminology.
Alright let's put it this I wanna find something flexible so my wife can stay home from work and I never "need" to tell my kids no.
We believe my salary will cover all expenses, and we'll be okay but might lose some of the extras. To which I'm willing to work harder to prevent.
Ya not opposed to the time it'll take.
For example at say $15/hour 20 hours a week is roughly 15k, and I would say 20 hours a week is very dooable.
Sitting on my couch with my 2 month old asleep on me. (Took today off)
Ya for sure not looking for any of that. I want 0 overhead, 0 calls on my personal phone at random hours.
Just something mindless a few hours a day/week.
Hey all.
So we''ve decided my wife isn't going back to work after our second child. I am by no means trying to replace her income but more so try to increase an additional 20k or so so we don't loose any of the extra's.
Anyone have any good suggestions?
Not looking to start a business, or take on clients.
I would say something sweet would be like a work when I want, as much or as little as I want, doing tickets or something for a 24/7 company.
I don't believe there's many Canadians here so I might be reaching, but thought I would throw the post up here, and see if anyone had any suggestions.
Cheers all
Wondering if anyone had any advice on this as well (for OpenVPN)
I thought I had the setup go so smooth last night, worked through a few errors but cant seem to get around this one.
thanks
@thecreativeone91
I didnt at first, and then all of a sudden nothing worked. (Hadnt touched any network settings yet until that point)
So how should I have my DNS settings,
If I leave them as CloudatCost default I cant ping anything, if I change them to what they would be once I get them added to the domain, nothing, if I change them to google's DNS I can see the outside world.
I assume this is not a good idea though? Or is there no real downside?
Would I have it set as google's DNS until I can get OpenVPN up and going?
Yep was definitely on their end, I wasnt able to get into the console for about 20 minutes. Was about to submit a ticket and there was a related article, which seemed exactly like my problem. Waiting a little more and everything works now (as origional settings)
Is there any chance this isnt on me?
When I first booted initially I got this as well.
And I dont beleve I've changed networks settings to date?
Just changed DNS (temporarily) to google's DNS and same results.
Also keep loosing connection to the console this morning.
Gah!
Not sure what I did yesterday but now I cant contact any mirrors or ping anything!
Come on Linux be my friend!
Haha thanks thats alot better and brings me confidence in my box back.
Especially after everyone said a Samba server was one of the lowest resource wise.
Just doing a quick google search found this how to
I assume for the most part this should be fine minus not using google'd DNS records
This is more so what I meant.
Not typically in the 80's but it's usually floating around the 60's
(Just did a restart so I'm assuming thats why its spiking)
Edit: However; its definately not dropping from 87% now
Not talking much traffic at all.
Honestly might not even put all devices on it.
Going to still run local DC, so I'm thinking maybe three cloudatcost, my main desktop, and local DC all on VPN
So maybe 5, might push it to one or two more computers but nothing really intensive.
Would/Should I be able to host my dc on CentOS7 as well as OpenVPN? Or would that require two? (Dev1)
Thanks
For sure I see the benefit don't get me wrong but I'm trying to cut fees with this not add them (again just a simple homelab wanting to expand knowledge and reach)
And I was thinking OpenVPN last night so I'll keep looking down that route.
Thanks.
I'll try to get the VPN going this weekend and then hopefully start tackling the DC again Monday/Tuesday.
Haha its funny I actually came on here to say "At what point am I prompted to join this to the domain" seemed like all I was doing was making a file share so far.
So to use Pertino for example I would need the VPN on every machine I assume?
I guess my initial plan here is mail server (or SMTP relay even) in the cloud, backup DC (this) in the cloud, dc at home then all my computers and servers, so I would need everything that I want to have access to the cloud DC to have the VPN correct?
Anyone know of any free options for 10-15 computers? (even under 10)
Thanks
Oh thats a shame, my ISP doesnt allow dedicated IP's on home networks.
guess I'll have to stay on top of this one.
I wonder if I can use one of cloudflare's ip updaters in conjunction with this?
