I would say this would probably be a better thing to take into private chat, but I was looking to pick someone's brain on Jet reports.

Currently have a huge report (61 pages) that when we upgraded our ERP started taking 3 hours to run. (From 45 minutes)

With some quick help from jet we cut it in half and were given some tasks to complete,

I've gone through all 61 pages, making tons of changes trying to increase performance and make it simply look better....

Up to taking over 2 hours to run now.

So obviously I did something wrong, looking to shoot some stuff back and forth with someone

Thanks

Will I see a benefit - Probably not

Will I learn a new skill - Yep

I understand the "basic" fundamentals of how dockers should operate, and I've planned with them in Unraid (but that's just click and hit install) so just wanted to start the whole thing from the beginning and see how exactly they operate.

Thanks for the detailed response.

@travisdh1

Alright thanks, I would like to imagine those specs will atleast get me going for a while!

Thanks.

And dockers are 90% of the time very low resource right?
Or are there still intensive ones they are just "less intensive" than a typical install?

Just trying to gauge a good starting point considering I dont know what I'm going to install.

Would 10, 10GB, and 100GB be a safe starting point for say....10-20 dockers?

Would the cores spread accross the dockers or is it dedicated?
I.E. does 10 cores = 10 dockers

Thanks

@travisdh1

Well virtual or physical aside. Just as easy to apply new settings as it is to open a box and stuff in more resources.

Adding resources as a later date as your needs grow.

But thanks, question answered.

@travisdh1

Well, I would be able to add additional resources to the Virtual itself, (if this was just a regular ubuntu server for example) is Docker able to take them though, is it adjustable?

Hey all.

So I'm currently looking at installing Docker and I thought I would touch base to see some of the do's and dont's.

I'm obviously googling and reading but I always enjoy some opinions from here.

My first question however is though when I creater docker on Ubuntu do I need to start my Ubuntu server with all the required resources or can I add later? (Virtual on XenServer)

Thanks

Using Ubuntu 14.04

@scottalanmiller

Simply chalk it up to me learning.

If you wouldnt mind throwing me in the right direction I'll be on my way haha

@scottalanmiller

Simply to check if a service is running, if it is do nothing,

If the service has stopped, to start it.

Script I'm using is

 #!/bin/bash 
 service=replace_me_with_a_valid_service

 if (( $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep $service | wc -l) > 0 ))
 then
 echo "$service is running!!!"
 else
 /etc/init.d/$service start
 fi

So if I run

 /home/sparkum/cron/job.sh

I get the output that the service is running (which it isnt)

if I run

 sh /home/sparkum/cron/job.sh

it says

 /home/sparkum/cron/job.sh: 4: /home/sparkum/cron/job/sh: 5: not round
 starting service

and then all is working....

@scottalanmiller

So since noticing its a bash script (the script is to check if a service is running, if it does it echos "service is running" if not it starts the service.

So being that its a bash script should I run

bash /home/sparkum/job.sh

should I rename it to job.bash?

when I run it with bash /home/sparkum/job/.sh it echo's its running (which its not)
when I run with sh it starts the service

Nothing triggering from cron though still

@scottalanmiller

Ya I realize they arent identical, but do I need the leading "sh" in the cron?

As I've only done it once I'm simply comparing it to what I've done, and what I'm finding on google, but both I'm not seeing the leading "sh"

I did just notice its bash...

 #!/bin/bash

I assume that will have some compact?

Hey guys.

So lately I've been working on using cron jobs,

I've got it working on one of my boxes just fine, and doing another one on another box, looking essentially identical and nothing.

I've been googling but everyone's suggestions arent working.

So when I run the command sh /home/sparkum/cron/job.sh it works just fine

Under the crontab

 * * * * * /home/sparkum/cron/job.sh 

but nothing happens.

I've given it chmod 0755 and chmod +x .... nothing

folder has 777

I was looking at the logs (cant find the command now) and it was only showing my edits

cron job is running, I have reset it several time.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I've tried running it both under root and my sudo user sparkum

Awesome thanks,

Will def move this up on my project list

oh such a long list it is =/

@dafyre
@fuznutz04 said CentOS7 or Ubuntu,
I vote Ubuntu

Thanks!

Hey @fuznutz04

Did you happen to find any good ones?

Hey look at that Rsync is working!

Thanks guys,

I'll let this sync the files then I'll will start looking into Cron jobs in the meantime

Thanks all!

I've mounted to Windows a few times, so what I knew was CIFS, didnt know it was only meant for Windows, thanks for clearing that one up.
