m..m..manage?
Oh shit.. gotta go
Simply, really.
You don't.
I have a man that comes in once a week.
Oh, look. You've got it back.
Just don't. Let them run
nakedwild and free.I keep them self-managed
By
Powering them off.
cron yum update) how many you are talking about?
Please no, one just one pdns update, broke my pdns cluster due to auto updates.
So yea, dns went offline, bad times.
Additional to that, it was not even mentioned what the change was, apparently they added new config files which fucked with my current one.
I feel pissed off because of this. I can spend more time for my girl, but I forced to fuck my servers and console, instead of a girl, also I wanna kill myself when I see conflicts with different old libs while upgrading something and I forced to resolve them, or if something dying after the upgrade, or after touching some stuff by just simply upgrading some software which have changed requirements and even after following these requirements something going wrong and break. This is really hard and frustrating to me, I already wrote a lot of scripts to automate a lot of things, but still forced to time to time check if everything is okay or not.
Tools what helps a lot:
you don't have to manage your vps in webmin|virtualmin, it has auto-update on cron, the job is done
Carefully
what are you talking about?
XShell and Notepad...I keep a .txt file with all server info (network, setup notes, websites, etc) for each server.
Install all required software in docker, no clustering stuff, cron yum update at night on random time
Any free alternative to mobaxterm? I have over 20 vps which I need to have good hands on. Thnx
B-by logging into your ssh via putty ? Is it wrong doing that way?
I'm using Ansible to control remote servers from my fedora laptop. Takes time to get used to it, but it's very useful. Plenty of support and excellent documentation.
Agree with this. Just make sure your ansible script up to date with anything you want to install. Sometime I create ansible script and run well for now. Around 1 month later, it can be broken because of different package dependencies on target server.
For ssh stuff, I prefer termius for mobile access. It has good UX when accessing server via mobile phone
MobaXTerm and notepad++
If you leave SSH open, someone will manage it for you.
AutoUpdate®, a new sensational innovation by the people who brought you AutoStart®, AutoBoot® and AutoHebephrenia®.
I use runcloud. There is also serverpilot and other alternatives available. Works best with Ubuntu and that is what I run on all of my servers.
.ssh/config
3 vps, idle: 2.
Let all idle.
Idle and reinstall of os getting bored so only use is trying new oses.
Chef and/or puppet helps a lot
+1 for .ssh/config (and ssh-agent) together with tmux it's easy to hop around any number of vm's with just a few keystrokes.
update OS at least once a month (or sooner if security update advised)
if I haven't logged in between updates for any even remotely productive reason, then take a minute to try and remember why I ordered yet another idler ... ("evaluating suitability for xyz" etc.)
I have been pleasantly surprised lately to find idlers - mostly from the Virmach black friday flash deal feeding frenzy - all up-to-date and ready to be put to use whenever some random project pops up. While they've been idling for however many months, they're now a known quantity at least in terms of uptime.
What do you guys mean by manage? Installing updates?
I use JuiceSSH's plugin "Cluster snippet plugin".
We use Ansible to automate and manage our servers. Currently have around 12 internal playbooks with vars and maintain a few forked Ansible roles. Wouldn't have it any other way
good question
regular updates would be the baseline
beyond that, I suppose it depends on the application
if nothing else, might add
atopas another basic tool for monitoring resource use over time
