atomicthumbs posted:I just got a shiny new VPS account and am looking for a logging program that can make some spiffy graphs. Are there any that keep a log of CPU usage/memory usage/etc. over time that I can look at later? Hopefully they won't consume too much of either themselves. Cacti does this and does it well. I have it on an old server at work running under lighttpd. Monitors 20 servers and local resources and the machine only breaks a sweat when I start looking at a ton of graphs. Gives me 5 minute, 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month averages.

atomicthumbs posted:Thanks, this looks great! Now I just have to figure out how to install it on nginx. If you can get nginx + php + mysql running, then Cacti is super easy to install. Any reason you have to use nginx? I found this guide to get the nginx+php5+mysql for 8.10 here, should work fine for 10.10: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-ubuntu-8.10 I dont recommend apt-get installing cacti. this is a good guide for manual install, though a bit old. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cacti?action=show&redirect=CactiHowTo#Installing%20Cacti%20for%20Ubuntu%20-%20Part%201

Bob Morales posted:A lot of people do it on 256MB or other low-memory VPSes I feel like an idiot asking this but is it lighter than lighttpd? My cacti box has 512 so I'm not sure it'll make a difference but I try to keep the http part as low resource as possible. If I just stepped on a pile of flame ants al la "vi vs emacs" that wasn't my intention at all.

So I started messing around with nginx on my cacti box. Holy lord is this a nice fast compact http server. My load averages have shot down and memory usage is definitely better. I'm trying to trim this box down to the lowest possible memory footprint (just found out I was wrong, it only has 256 megs of ram). I replaced my.cnf (mysql) with my-small.cnf and gained some more back. There's not a lot more I can do, this box is not heavily used, really only by me so it's not a big deal.

Unfortunately, I think this is impossible with standard UNIX permissions, but I feel like there must be some common workaround. Any ideas? I do this on our company's FTP server. Read up on "chattr", that's what I used.

atomicthumbs posted:I got Cactus installed (switched back to Apache because everything has documentation for Apache). How the hell do I make it make those fancy bandwidth graphs? I can't seem to set them up. Console -> Devices -> Localhost -> Create Graphs for this host You should see a list of your ethX interfaces, check on and set the pull down box below it to bits (don't use 64 bit counters, I can never get those to work). If you dont see your eth devices listed, go back to Localhost under devices and make sure SNMP Interfaces is listed in the Associated Queries. If it's not reporting anything then your SNMPD has a config problem. EDIT: PS, once you get a PHP/MYSQL/Server going, it's agnostic to which server you run, so if you're on low memory, I suggest switching back to nginx and php-fpm http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-php-5.3-nginx-and-php-fpm-on-ubuntu-debian Matt Zerella fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Mar 3, 2011 |

Not sure if this goes here, if it doesnt, I apologize. I inherited a Wyse V90L here at work. It's got a 512mb flash drive and 512 megs of ram. I'd really love to turn this thing into a low power seedbox for use at home. I figure I'd need a 128mb swap partition so that leaves me with about 384 megs to work with on the flash drive. All I need is basic tools, a text editor, screen, zsh, rtorrent and OpenSSH daemon. I have a 2TB usb disk I can use to download to. Samba would be nice to for XBMC to mount it, but it's not 100% necessary. Is drat Small Linux my best option? I'm most comfortable with Debian but am open to any distro really.

Ok, this is driving me loving insane. I'm trying to install Arch onto a 2GB USB drive. According to the Arch USB install documentation, the auto partition option should not be used. No big deal, I'm comfortable enough using mkfs and fdisk. I boot off of the Arch CD but instead of running the /arch/setup I begin working with the commandline, since the drat auto partition and cfdisk throw an error. So I get through making my partitions /boot 100M *bootable swap 256M / 1000 G / ~600MB I write the table. It says I need to reboot. I reboot, go back to the same spot. Now, I know the boot partition needs to be EXT2 so I run: mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1 Returns: /dev/sda1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make filesystem here! Apparently the Arch CD is locking /dev/sda*? I'm booting off of a USB CDROM and trying to install onto a USB stick. My googlefoo is failing me as a lot of the results point to MDADM being some kinf of problem and I'm definitely not running MDADM. Has anyone successfully installed Arch on a USB drive? Any pointers or help? EDIT: Fixed it, a simple dd to zero out the drive worked. Sorry for the rant and wall of text. Matt Zerella fucked around with this message at 16:05 on May 13, 2011 |

So, this is a bit of an odd question. I have an ESATA drive on FreeBSD 8.2 right now. I partitioned it and formatted it with EXT2 and adjusted the Inode size to 128, and backed up all of my data to it. I did this because I'm getting awful performance with ZFS and I think I'm just going to switch over to Ubuntu or Debian (Cant use OI or Nexenta because their reorient pkg is broken and I can't seem to get it to compile without crashing on startup) and just use MDADM raid. I guess my question is, will FreeBSD partitions/slices translate over fine to Linux?

Craptacular! posted:I had to use vim to do homework in a class once, I know enough how to move to where I want to write text, put text there, save and quit, or quit without saving. I usually default to nano and it's not because I think it's superior, but because if I used vim I'd be entering/exiting insert mode half a dozen times to make the same edits I'd do in nano. I'm never going to use it's scripting elements, so why bother. You can do all kinds of cool poo poo to text when you're not in insert mode in VIM. And this is coming from someone who thinks hitting / to search for patterns is "advanced". Use what you want, I get that VI/M can be a pita to pick up but I can say from firsthand experience that it's worth learning. I wish there was a nice cheat sheet I could tape to the side of my monitor but they're all gigantic.

Look at it as training/studying. You can run rancherOS in FreeNAS and have docker if you want. I run plex, Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, UniFi, nzbhydra, nginx/Letsencrypt all in docker on my unraid server and it's good.

Ive played around with Fedora on the desktop on my t460s laptop and its pretty drat good. And yeah, through work I've definitely come to appreciate Centos/RHEL on the server side. The only other distro I'd consider server side would be Debian stable, and even then it would only be if for some reason something has better support on Deb based distro (for example I run docker on Debian now since Centos8 basically dropped it).

netdata is great too because it runs at the lowest priority. for historical collection though, you're going to want something like cockroachdb or prometheus to store the info and Grafana as a frontend which, yeah, that's gonna be annoying if you do it locally.

Bark! A Vagrant posted:I'm building a new desktop for work, and I'm thinking I'll switch to using Linux. Having spent the past five years using macOS, the thought of returning to Windows is unappealing. Is there a distribution you'd recommend for a relative beginner who likes the look of macOS? I spend most of my time doing statistical programming in R, Python, and Julia and writing in LaTeX. I'd like to keep using homebrew for a package manager because of familiarity, though I could be convinced not to if this will be more of a headache than it's worth. Fedora is my desktop of choice. And dnf/yum >>>>>> Homebrew, which I love on my Mac but its a slow awful piece of crap sometimes.
