    Good morning everyone, how are you all doing? ;)

    Not bad here! Had a busy day. Tried to catch up on this thread here and there throughout the day. But haven't been able to participate. Almost 2AM here now so I'm going to knock out soon.

    How about yourself? And others?

    Just started the work day, currently everything is calm and peaceful :) Unlike the monday... On monday, 3 of the servers had 0 disk space left, so we were having a lot of fun then :D "perfect monitoring" from our IT... :D

    Yikes! Must've been a write-heavy weekend. Zero-disk space mornings are fun :P. Dealt with it a few times at work as well. What do you guys use for monitoring? PRTG can notify on low disk space. The < X% warnings are useful.

    Sadly, I didn't start with monitoring on my machines yet, and what do they use in my company, I don't know. But I know, it doesn't work as supposed... :)

    The worst thing this time was that solr indexes got corrupted and we needed to reindex everything. Other than that, cleaning some log files and restarting some services helped :)

    Oh no, same here - I don't do much monitoring on my home machines. Just a Windows 10 VM running Fing Desktop which is kind of fun.

    For work, I recommend PRTG. I hear good things about Nagios as well but haven't tested it myself.

    Yikes, corrupt indexes can be hectic. Glad to hear you guys were able to get things back up and running pretty quickly!

    Deciding between one of the three Ryzen VPS plans. What do you guys think? Future proof a bit? Or be cost effective for now? I likely won't have a need for 3GB of RAM. If anything, I'm looking for more storage so that I could host things like Nextcloud in more useful ways - but of course none of these VPS deals offer that. Would the suggestion there be to get some sort of dedicated server? Or look into external block storage providers to mount to one of these VPSes - this would be new territory for me so it'll be a bit of a learning curve.

    I would always estimate, how much I really need, and then add a bit of reserve. e.g. If I know, that I need 2GB for sure, I would take 2.5GB RAM at least.

    For the Nextcloud it depends on how much space do you really need. I personally have my home lab server with 10TB of RaidZ2, have given my OwnCloud VM 500GB, its only 200GB used, so have plenty of storage left :) Since I had my own server, I decided not to use any of the cloud storage and use my own. So I don't have to pay for GDrive, OneDrive or any other backup solution. On mine and my wife's phones I have set up to backup all photos and videos to my OwnCloud and am completely sure that I have at least 3 copies of everything (1st copy on phone, 2nd on my OwnCloud, 3rd - borg backup to AlphaVPS storage VM :) ).

    Whichever VM you choose, please feel free to use aff link in the Stats page to passively support the growth of all the features there ;)

    RaidZ2, sweet! I just use RAID5. How are you finding ZFS? I'd like to move towards that, but it requires a whole rework and transferring data off and back on.

    Good call on following the 3-2-1 backup strategy!

    I went a bit lazy way - TrueNAS Scale, so I don't have to worry about any manual stuff with ZFS. I think I like it, enabling deduplication saves a lot of space ;)

    TrueNAS Scale is a great choice! Definitely not lazy. I figured you meant something like that, as opposed to ZFS from scratch. Did you move to TrueNAS Scale from something else? If so, how was the transition? Did you have enough spare space to back things up and move it back on?

  • @MrEd i use zabbix, its fairly easy to set up and reports on low disk.

    Wait for Chef Flash deals (likely around Nov 25). I am sure you will get a suitable plan then, for cheaper.

    There should also start a BF Megathred, so maybe you can find something that fits your needs there ;) Noone is forced to marry only one provider really :) Its always a combination of trust in the provider, location of the available offers, and the offer combination itself ;)

    Can you clarify what you guys mean by "Chef Flash deals"?

    Since last year Dustin is called Chef here, because were always hungry for giveaways, and he was feeding us well :)

    Zabbix is also a good choice. A fair bit of options in this space, eh? It's actually quite amazing what the FOSS community has cooked up over the past decade especially.

    Oh! Haha! Love it. :smile:

    Dustin's definitely generous with the gifts!

    I hope RackNerd continues to prosper! They seem like an awesome company.

    I won the gaming mousepad/swag bundle last year and it actually nice. I use it under my keyboard/infront and under a razor tartarus (little gaming keypad thing). If I didn't have a fancy rgb mouse pad, I would be totally using it for my actual mouse!

    Try a f.. mobile phone :'(

    :(

    Last year I managed to snag one or two GAs on phone, this year I cannot manage... But if I remember correctly, Chrome on mobile was easier to select full line, or my phone is just getting old and can't handle anymore... :)

    I didn't have to backup and migrate, I still have my old machine with J1900 running, having some non critical VMs there, and got a bigger machine assembled just for TrueNAS and instantly started creating more critical VMs on it, migrating one by one. J1900 is Ubuntu 18 (I think), running plain virsh and lxd, everything done via bash :) Both ways are interesting, on the new one, some clicks and you have VM running, on old one you have full control :D

    @PuDLeZ I see that you edited your winning comment to allow someone else to win as well. That's kind of you. Are you in the US? If so, would you like another gaming mouse pad? Maybe you can give it to someone in your life as a gift.

  • More giveaways people other providers are getting on top , can't let this sink
