I want to scale my Ruby on Rails projects and use a load balancer in front of it but I’m not really sure how to do this. How will I configure storage for this and scaling across multiple virtual machines? I use puma right now because it is multithreaded and can be used in a cluster, but I’m not sure how to setup the cluster.

9 drops for basement, 4 for first floor, 5 for 2nd floor, 2 access points, and 6 cameras

Yea, I definitely can.

Yea... have no current replacement for the nas right now.

I have setup my home lab and I am still working on it as I will be adding a dell r620 and a new Cisco switch but this is what I have currently. 2u 48 port patch panel, 1u hp procurve 24p, 1u hp procurve 48p, 1u geovision Poe 8p, 1u UniFi usg pro, 1u dell r610, 2u apc 1000va ups. Have two networks setup currently because I host websites and voip server off of hypervisor and needed this network isolated from the home network in case it got hijacked. What do you think?

I’ll just make my own at home while I’m at it

Yea, I was planning to put a battery storage system in place in the future.

For me personally I am probably gonna invest in solar panels and a generator because they don’t die as quickly as a ups that is more expensive. Might get a 1500va ups for now or find a really good deal on a 2200va ups.

Well I have mailcow-dockerized and I can’t receive any mail and I don’t know really what to do.

I have wow internet and I have the 200mbps package with tv and I want to setup a mail server at home. I can send mail using googles smtp relay but I can’t receive any and I checked my firewall logs and nothing went through but on the other end it says it’s not able to send it. Does wow block pop3 and imap? If they do how can I make a virtual machine that forwards all my mail from aws to my mail server at home?

My server consumes about 1 kw per day. I would add up the rest of the equipment and they use about 1 kw per day including peaks. Peak 1.5 kw on server. Everything is running on one circuit as I haven’t upgraded my electrical panel. Maybe I should invest in an empty 5000va ups and get some batteries for it which would cost me I assume around $1500.

Thinking to invest into solar panels and batteries + inverter. These batteries are a bit expensive though.

Might be looking to increase my budget to get something more sustainable.

I currently have two hp procurve switches, 2x8 port poe+ switches, usg pro, nvr, dell r610 and dell r620. Powering all of this equipment is two 1000va ups. That is currently my only backup. I usually get one-two power outages a year. These usually last 4-6 hours. Are there any power backup solutions that can last me at least a few hours before dying out? I do not mind using gas generators but buying anything over $250 is not a solution for me.

Do you think you could send malware through sip and rtp ports without making any outgoing calls?

I have been using Trixbox (old but free) on a vm and recently I had been watching it send "DOS" attacks to ips from France and US (But been blocked by IPS). The only ports I have open are the one for sip and RTP. Has it been hacked in some way?

Using Corsair CX 750. Im currently testing the 750 ti and I will definetley put load on it for a longer time than I have currently (30 minutes), but the games that were crashing the machine, works fine now. I will update if anything happens while testing (crash/freeze/blue screen).

System temps have always been fine. Went from old AMD FX stock cooler to Corsair h60 and then back to Ryzen Wraith Stealth cooler. Running with 8gb also caused crashing and after some time it also crashed. (I have also used 2 different brands of memory sticks on my old machine and one seemed to work better for a little bit and then the crashing continued). Usually you would put in a new component in one of the systems I've built, it would be fine for about a month, and then afterwords the crashing and freezing would come in. My system is pretty clean as I clean it every month, so I doubt that would be an issue.

Hey! I've been getting blue screens with different errors most of the times, random crashing, crashing while opening games, and freezing to where you have to hard reset. Event logger just shows unexpected shutdown and I've reinstalled my drivers many times for almost everything. I have nothing overclocked currently. In games that do not crash my pc, I have many frame drops (This is new). I have been having these issues for about three years and throughout those years I have changed my setup. I have reinstalled Windows many times and have even tried Windows 7, but this causes even more bugs. My current setup is a Ryzen 5 1600, Gigabyte aorus x470 gaming, Sapphire Nitro+ RX 570, G.Skill DDR4 2400mhz 2x8gb, and a WD Black 250gb M.2 NVMe drive for Windows. I first built this system in late 2018 with a ASUS GTX 1050 ti instead of the rx 570. Every game worked on this but you would still get the occasional random crash and freeze. Back in 2016 when I first built my first computer, I had a AMD Fx 6300, Asrock 970A-G/3.1, with an EVGA GTX 750 ti, and a samsung 850 evo 250gb. That parciular setup had Windows 10 installed and Windows 7 and you would still get blue screens from time to time, and random crashing from time to time. I'm pretty sure something is wrong with my RX 570, because most games will crash my pc, so I will switch to the EVGA 750 ti I had laying around and use that for some games. This is not good at all, as I need a stable machine to work on, for recordings, video and photo editing, and programming. Having an unstable machine for these kinds of task sucks. I am even moving some of my less video recourse demanding things (like photo editing and programming) to my server which has a Windows 10 vm on it, which I can RDP to. The only things I have not changed in my setup over the last three years is my case.

Ill be sure to try it out and see if it works.

Thanks for the information. Hope it works!

My ubuntu server is acting as a router but my server and client need to both have network visibility, so for example my client would connect to my server's subnet and communicate as if they were on that subnet. This is not a private vpn subnet, but more of a way of doing it like point to point. The server can see the client's ip addresses and the client can see the server's subnets. I am new to Openvpn and I am more familiar with how L2TP actually works, so I am currently stuck on the fence. Yes I used a package to setup the server, but the only documentation that came with it was for clients that had a GUI and not from CLI.

Hey! I have recently setup a l2tp/ipsec server on my AWS vm. I have a client that I want to connect to that server, but I could not find any up to date guides that would show me on how to install a client for l2tp/ipsec on Ubuntu 18.04 cli.

Switched over to l2tp/ipsec as it provided the features that I needed.

No, I have it on my own vm.
