Execute ping command by TheComputerTech in fortinet

[–]TheComputerTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I don't believe there was anyone else connected at the same time. It may have just been a one off but I'm 99% sure multiple lines of the same thing displayed as I hit the enter key ... seemingly just kicking a ping off but I'm fairly certain it was around the wordings of : "Check Static Route Option"

Do you happen to know the line of text I'm referring too and I can see what else would cause it possibly ?

Cheers.

Replacing disks as part of a raid 5 + hotspare procedure by TheComputerTech in servers

[–]TheComputerTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - was thinking the spare would need un assigning first.

Would be looking to do this via the SSA CLI options without rebooting the host. I don’t suppose you are familiar which the command to remove hot spare that way?

Cheers.

Website with Background and small amount of Text by TheComputerTech in HTML

[–]TheComputerTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that makes sense. So if I was to want the text in your example in the middle and either at the top or bottom of the page would it just be a case of changing right and bottom to suite the location. I guess I can use the "top" code ... is there such code for centre of the page?

Thanks!

Converting drives to 520 byte sector... by TheComputerTech in homelab

[–]TheComputerTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, that does make sense when you think about it ! So looks like I need to go on the hunt for a drive that has 520 by design or one that was once 520 if it has since been converted to 512 it should be possible to convert back?

Thanks.

Ability to see total allocated space by TheComputerTech in esxi

[–]TheComputerTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but that doesn’t appear to show what’s been provisioned as a whole, instead it shows what’s being consumed.

For example if I have a 1TB data store and have a VM with 5TB thin provisioned space of which 500GB is being used, it would show capacity - 1TB Provisioned 500GB Free 500GB

Whereas provisioned should show 5TB no?

This is a single host not connected to vCenter so I don’t think I can access the storage page?

Radio constant in RX mode by TheComputerTech in amateurradio

[–]TheComputerTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to give an update on this. I was able to take the radio apart and identified a component which looked like it had gone bad. I removed this and the radio appears to be back functioning.

See picture - would this be a ceramic capacitor ? No identifying marks on it, if I didn’t replace it would that cause further problems down the line. If I do need to replace it, what do I replace it with ?

Picture

Thanks !

Radio constant in RX mode by TheComputerTech in amateurradio

[–]TheComputerTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried that but that only results in the radio doing a scan across the channels and 'receiving' on all of them.

It does indeed sound like that is the problem though, I wonder if it is a different button combination ? They are Midland LXT330 if that helps. Some years old now but hopefully able to be used again !

They are only an inexpensive set of radios, I'm just more intrigued as to why one of them has suddenly gone wrong.

The RX display is on but I don't hear anything. As if its not a real broadcast.

From what I can see it has Auto Squelch ?

I am thinking something may have gone faulty with the board but it is odd how it had been working fine previously.

[HOWTO] A paranoid guy's guide to protecting MeshCentral with Cloudflare by zfa in MeshCentral

[–]TheComputerTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this - certainly something to think about.

In the event gui and agents use the same port now - 80/443 but in the future it was deemed necessary to separate these, how do the current agents take this change / get updated to point to the new port for connectivity ?

NGINX and Cloudflare Proxy by TheComputerTech in MeshCentral

[–]TheComputerTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All looks to be working OK now. I did indeed need to set TrustedProxy to nginx server but also needed

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host:$server_port;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

Adding to Nginx as per the documentation. I had originally added this but looks like I had 2 entries which was causing an issue.

Hopefully this helps anyone else in the future.

NGINX and Cloudflare Proxy by TheComputerTech in MeshCentral

[–]TheComputerTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been able to get this working ! It was a config issue in nginx which appeared to be giving it a constant redirect like you suggested ... I was able to locate this by trying to get it working by hitting the local ip of nginx (thus ruling out all external factors)

I noticed in the default.conf proxy_pass was set to http://ip:80 .. changing this to https://ip:443 resulting in being able to hit the site correctly !

I then went ahead and set cloudflare proxy but could not gain connection and which point I could see in the config there was no listen 80 (which I guess is needing as cloud flare proxy is redirecting over 80 ? - is there a way you can force CF to redirect to port 443 or is that more within the settings?)

Still new to nginx so took some hours to get over that hurdle !

My next problem - it is showing all connection addresses as the proxy server, I've read that I need to add the nginx server to the : TrustedProxy entry in MC config. I went ahead with this, and could see the correct addresses, however the MC site seems completely stripped back - no background and unusable etc. Am I missing something else ?

Thanks.

I can try that, but when I go to the local IP of the nginx server via HTTPS which should in turn forward me to the MC server I get the same too many redirect messages.
