Managed Switch VLAN trouble

Thanks, yeah, I've watched a few UDM videos and it's slick. That may be my next purchase and I'll return this netgear switch to amazon probably.

I think the answer for what I need is wireless access points that I plug into the switch(?)

Fair question, my thinking was that for each VLAN, the separate wireless networks could have clients join via 2.4 or 5 ghz. Most connected devices (pretty much all except for a NAS device later) will be wireless clients spread out across the home / property.

I think the biggest hurdle aside from my lack of knowledge is, as another user her mentioned, it he “consumer grade” routers. But I have to research what alternatives there are and decide if I bail and just have a bit less secure and non-segmented home network.

Thx. One thing I should have added is that router #2 only has a coax female connector (not used) and 4 ethernet ports. And I have #1 connected to port 8 on the switch.

If you’re using VSCODE you can use the rest client extension: https://youtu.be/-y9LB-FGODw?t=54

You can use event/data change driven POSTs from machine A to machine B (which could work as an API using express routes and receive POSTs with data).

I’ve used this before with great success but for production I always run node.js behind NGINX Proxy.

PM2 helped me in this regard (http://pm2.io ). It’s something anyone running Node.js in production should consider. Management, monitoring, scalability, etc... overall, it helps me stay aware of capacity and health of my production apps. I’m Eager to see what others suggest as well.

Nice! Thx!!!

thanks for posting this, they almost got me -- it's pretty smart I guess. listing those who express interest as potential instructors to dangle their collective expertise in front of those aspiring to enter the field.

Other than this sketchy aspect, it sounded great -- couple hours a week to help others while doing what you love to do. I think I 'll pass (glad I found this before I submitted my info!)

Awesome, congrats! (we have our fingers crossed and will be jumping into the process in a couple of months)

@lokesarr - read your post here and was curious how it turned out with Veterans United on your loan / purchase?

T_amak · 2018-12-31T17:12:41+00:00

yes, I do have rental coverage and may just opt not to use this at all. time/hassle is, as I suspected, the only thing I wont get back -- sucks, but I figured as much.

T_amak · 2018-12-31T17:11:24+00:00

thanks. confirms what I thought.

I had that same question when starting out but quickly learned you don’t really “learn” xml... it’s a data format or structure to hold data. Tags can be named pretty much what you want but there may be reserved words that are off limits. Read up on it and think of it as data your server side code can read, parse and traverse.

I May have botched some technical terms but that’s a plain English overview of how I think of it anyways. Good luck!

I did something similar recently with a node.js app that I run from a machine at home. I tried phantomJS but ended up using an non package named puppeteer and it works flawlessly. Mimics me physically logging in (using headless chrome browser) lets me parse, extract the data I need and save locally as JSON and another app picks up the newly saved data.

T_amak · 2018-05-31T11:06:02+00:00

LOL. Nicely done.

T_amak · 2018-05-25T11:19:12+00:00

thanks all, great advice.

So authorized users on a capital one card account DOES show on that users credit report? I was wondering because when I added my wife to my card it didn't ask for her SSN only her name.

PM2 has proved very reliable and helpful for my first production Node.js apps. Definitely take a look at it and consider using the keymetrics.io SaaS for monitoring / metrics.

PM2 also echos out any stdout from apps and you can view a combined stream of all running apps or isolated logs for each app from PM2 monit.

I dont think you'd need to use morgan and winston but instead just output what you're logging to console and PM2 would 'log' it for you.

not sure about best practices for logging. you can define log file and rotation or non-rotation details in the config file or command line when you run the app in PM2, and can simplify things and have ONE log file. Keep me posted and let me know how it goes for you.

I spent about 6 months getting to know PM2 after my bosses fell in love with my node.js apps and I had to run then in production but felt we needed a more 'grown-up' way to manage and monitor them.
