whats a good way to monitor resource usage on a linux server
i dont want to get jewed by these web services
>What are all you degenerates playing with today?
Last thing I did to my network was set up my RPI as my seedbox, because my last power bill was fucked, so I am trying to move shit off my server and onto my rpi.
So far I am having success with this.
The next thing will be setting up deployments of fortigate VMs so I can practice and get good at them, since we deploy fuckloads of Fortinet gear at work. Obviously this will not be happening on the rpi.

Upgraded the Wireless card in my APU2 and did a fresh install of pfSense 2.4.4 from USB. Everything else is humming along without need for interference.
Webmin was the most prolific one back in the day. A lot of companies still use it so customers can monitor their VPS and dedicated boxes. It's an old staple of the industry.
I use cockpit these days though. Just nicer to look at and work with.
You're an absolute faggot.
You can be a man and setup zabbix or nagios.
Ptrg is also good. But need a Windows box to run on. My suggestions are only really useful if you plan on monitoring mutlipule boxes though.
router/dns/dhcp server died the other day - really should fix it. Thought it was psu, but no it wasn't. Got an identical motherboard around here somewhere, just need to ge off my arse and look for it.
I'm out most of the day at the men's shed, I'll see if I can find it tonight.
Where’d get custom stickers from?
company in england called Diginate diginate.com
Got all my framed pictured printed by them too, they're not the cheapest but the quality is excellent and if you put in effort with your art it does become pretty fair pricing. Three copies of that a4 sheet were ~15quid, but its laser cut along the red lines and printed on transparent background, so on a price per sticker basis, the cost isn't bad.
$ssh [email protected] htop
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
my inner weeb wants to do this, but I'm not an artfag and was never able to figure out how to use an image editor more complicated than MS Paint.
On my linux server I put a a .7z with a bunch of pictures on it (~2GB) and whenever someone tries to download it, the download fails.
Where can it come from ?
Is it my server that is fucking up somewhere ? my internet connection ? his connection ?
I don't have a laptop and trying to download it on my smartphone without wifi (working so far, 20% downloaded)
never thought about that user
Luckly I'm better at graphic design than programming
This is an extremely vague and unhelpful post.
How are the FAQ updates going? Old /cyb/ FTP server is gone but others exist.
Please leave.
this is good thread
shame it'll be pushed off the board by advertising spam, or deleted by a mod paid to delete non-advertisement topics

Pick one
Just out of curiosity, what do you recommend as dedicated server hardware? Say, for web servers and/or storage server
Thinkpad x220, running a libreboot centOS install for sure
Are old sparcs still good?
How many minecrafts can I play on this?
One and half.
Just installed a wireless card in my espressobin router and openwrt is shitting itself. And i'm trying to get my file hosting website back online after my university shit my internet access off
Depends how much electricity costs you, and how much you'll need to spend to get power delivery up to spec. So probably not.
This is a D-Link domestic router
Any idea what these jumpers do?
Probably a serial connection
>UPS not on the bottom
check your model in openwrt site, you could have more info there
Yes. The machines were from the time before the mandatory backdoors were inserted into all chips. Would keep.
Would ZFS work well enough without ECC?
Bought this cutie to build a pfsense box. Really excited to set everything up.
It'll work, yes. But if you're not going to use ECC, you shouldn't even bother with ZFS and FreeNAS and server grade. Might as well just use EXT2/3/4 or XFS and OMV and consumer grade hardware.
Yes it will work. It just won't detect memory errors. And memory errors occur. If you have data that you can't afford to be corrupted use ECC. If you don't, use regular memory.
how do i store all my terabytes of jav in a server
#gainz
WHY DONT YOU HAVE A PATCH PANEL
GOD
lol
postin my shit stack
>my
you sure that's not just a random screenshot of a server at your work
No, I can assure you it is not.
fuck my phone for posting that upside down though.
Got a new laptop so I repurposed my old one to be another server in my closet. Now up to 5.
Aesir: P4 era dual Xeon pedestal server, 2GB DDR2, 2TB HDD
Vanir: AMD Athlon II X2 250, 4GB DDR3, 1TB HDD
Ragnar: C2D Mac Mini, 4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD
Votan: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, 1GB RAM, 64GB SD
Loki: AMD A8, 8GB DDR3, 1TB SSD, 1TB HDD
Ragnar handles email and Kodi connected to my TV as well as a USB connection to my NAS, Aesir handles primary httpd, and my pomf, Vanir is failover httpd and SQL, Votan is VPN, caching DNS, and handles a lot of cronjobs for small scripts, and Loki is my primary server as of today. Lenovo ideapad that does all of the heavy lifting for my Plex server and other streaming daemons to give me access to my media anywhere in the world.
So you took a close up of your work server. Take one that shows it's in a house.
That looks so extremely random that I'm wondering if it's not also running Windows.
proof, messy college house.
Feels like you could give one box more RAM and then VM-ize or dockerize and decommission most of them to save power.
Not that that is more fun, but it'd probably be efficient.
Talk about a shit house
There's one server in there that's running Windows Server 2012.
If you are talking about one server stick to cli tools (htop,iostat,bmon) if you can help it
if you are talking about a few servers or need graphs try munin
lots of servers nagios or the ELK/beats jew
use freenas
I totally could, but the thing is... It's the fun factor. My electric bill is ridiculous every month between the machines running 24/7 and cooling the server closet, but I've got the disposable income for it so I keep them running purely for the fun of it. I'm an addiction specialist physician and spend about 12-16 hours, 6 days a week, in various treatment facilities so playing with my servers is one of the ways I unwind. Only about another year of working so much before I can open my own rehab and rake in government dosh, work 10 hours a week and let other doctors kill themselves with long hours.
Why do you have an old police lightbar on top of your server rack?
Ohh no, your bits are falling out.
is referring to new tech purchases as "cutie" normal on this board?
Do all those HDDs just absorb the data by osmosis? Teach me your ways
Im planning to build a nas with pic related e35m1-i? i wonder how much a bottleneck the cpu if im planning to build a nas with it? or i will still get 20mbps transfer speed on a local network?
Can you post your pwint tempwate pwease?
definitely a serial connection for logging into console and debugging
What stuff can I put in my server rack that is actually useful? I'd like to get one of those tall full cabinets to add cool points to my living room, but I don't want it to be halfway empty or full of useless garbage.
I figure if I rack my servers and computers and get a couple of UPS then I can fill half of it. What should I do with the other half?
For sev1 incidents, obv.
Having trouble finding an architecture diagram, but if I had to guess; the SATA controller will be tied directly to the CPU with a PCIe2.0 x4 lane, giving you a max bandwidth of 2GB/s on that bus. If you keep your over head low (no dumbass filesystem choices, no on-system transcoding, no stupid servers or services) and stick to just NAS duty it should be fine.
Though I have no idea how it will handle parity checks, so RAID10 might be your best option.
yeah that was im thinking, okay im just using it pure ftp/samba
My main server at home is a Thinkpad T440 with some DAS attached to it. I like laptops for home servers because of built in batteries, built-in monitor and keyboard if something goes wrong, very small footprint. I primarily use containers for most things these days, no more virtualization (at home).
I also have a few raspberry pi's -- one is used exclusively as a dual-zone DNS server that automatically updates to block spam/malware domains, one zone for the kids with additional filtering, one zone for the rest of the house with full access (minus spam&malware). The others are re-purposed from time to time. One was a retropie system for NES & SNES games, they are really to weak to do anything more useful.
redpill me on nginx vs apache vs lighthttpd
Nginx is faster in most situations, but doesn't run as an application server so you need to offload your scripts to another process. In most cases this isn't a problem because modern programming languages/frameworks have sane ways to interface with this (uWSGI, PSGI, Unicorn, etc).
id say pick apache if youre a beginner but nginx is faster
if you are having a hard time running something on nginx just reverse proxy the shit
I am decently experienced with GNU/linux, so I imagine I could get nginx working without too much difficulty
how is it's performance compared to lighthttpd? I reckon lighthttpd is much easier to set up, what are it's pitfalls?
Where should I start if I want to build a 32-64TB NAS? I already have 2 drives, but I wasn't sure if I should go RAIDZ1 with 32TB (24 usable) or RAIDZ2 with 64TB (48 usable)
I'm fairly new to servers and the like and I don't really know where to start.
I have that same 3u 16 bay.
Thinking of getting a 3switch2router stack for my CCNP
any recommendations ? My budget is about 300$ give or take postage n shit
How difficult is it to get CCNA vs CCNP?
is that a rhetorical question ?
what a beautiful sight to behold
Question regarding shorter depth racks (the ones that are -typically- used for wallmount network cabinets but could be used for shorter/half depth servers).
Some of these cabinets have really low weight capacities, say 132 lb. I am wondering, is this only when they're hanging off the wall? Or would it also apply if they're sitting on the floor? I am trying to figure out how the loading capacity in lbs is determined for these.
I have a raspberry pi 3 model b and currently have installed PHP, apache2 server, node.js as well as some other tools running on different ports. What would be the best way to use it to host a website to the internet? I guess opening up my ports is not safe right?
Hey. That case second from the bottom. With the hot-swap bays. Is that that cheap Norco thing I saw on Newegg a while back? They had a range of those with varying numbers of bays depending on how many rack units, and I rather want one, but every one seems to have a comment or two saying "The hotswap bays are flaky and I had to directly connect my drives! Beware!"
So how have yours held up? any problems?
> to the internet
> care for safety
choose one
Install sysstat, enable it. It will give you a huge number of stats on your device, taken every minute.
Opening up ports is usually how you make services available to the internet. If you wanna have something between your Poor Little RPi and the rest of us maybe buy a domain and use Cloudflare as a stand-off. Use iptables on the RPi to restrict access to the web server so they are the only client.
I run a minecraft server on dual 400MHz UltraSPARC IIs just fine, so I'd say quite a bit more than that.
