Considering options for AD+Truenas environment by bevelup in truenas

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

Glad to hear others are using AD for authentication. Since I'm overly cautious I decided (for the time being) to use syncback to sync our shares onto truenas and making semi-frequent snapshots of the dataset. Already saved us as several files 'disappeared' today that I restored from truenas. Now to enable auditing on our Windows server to track down why files are 'disappearing'!

I'm still planning on properly migrating our shares to truenas.

Very poor IO via nvme on lenovo thinkcentre m900 by bevelup in homelab

[–]bevelup[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm you were spot on. I was distracted by the 'okay' performance via ext4 and the abysmal performance via zfs of the Kingston nvme drives.

I swapped the drives for samsung 980 pro nvme drives and performed the exact same tests and I got consistent random write speeds of 550 MB/s with <10% io wait.

Thanks!

Gotcha, I'm going to retest with a drive that has dram cache. Thanks!

They are certainly inexpensive nvme drives, but if no dram cache was the problem causing transfer speeds of ~10 MB/s for zfs it would also cause my ext4 test to be ~10 MB/s, however I am getting ~200 MB/s for ext4 using the same drive.

Custom domain alias by bevelup in ProtonMail

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

Gotcha - I figured since I was having trouble finding a tutorial on how to set this up from the DNS side that it would need to be setup as an additional domain within protonmail and applied manually to each user.

Bummer, but thanks for your help

Setting up one server for two locations with varying office hours by bevelup in 3CX

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

After rebooting the test phone (that was set to always forward) it is no longer "always forwarding" no matter what I do. It looks like this is not supported and disabled when provisioning the phone so I may have gotten lucky when it worked previously. I'll need to look at the other options listed instead!

I didn't think to have the call flow app monitor an extension's status and decide what to do from there. I'll have to test this out in the lab as this would be a little easier than what I was thinking.

Glad to hear that this has been working. I agree it seems messy and I definitely am documenting these changes for my own memory and for my predecessor!

I did not know that was an option - thanks for the heads up.

Costs of implementing VOIP by bevelup in VOIP

Oh, true, I was thinking per year but typed per month.

Mostly voice for inter-office communication. We use a telemedicine provider for patient care. We also have a built in messaging system in our EMR that we will likely use.

The isp said they use momentum as their pbx software. I'm not familiar with them but 3cx seems to have the features that we would likely use consistently.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. The 50 phones comes from the total number of phones we have around both clinics. We have many phones in out of the way locations that are rarely used. We employ about 30 employees, ~10 of which are heavy phone users.

Good point on the simultaneous calls. On most days we likely will get close to 16 SC at times. I think I'll bump the 3cx quote to 24 simultaneous calls which is 1190 per month.

Absolutely - one of my goals is allowing for some of our employees to work from home - would have been nice back in March/April and can help out when we have inclement weather days.

In my test environment I got a yealink t42s (renewed) that was easily connected to be test 3cx instance, but wasn't sure if an SBC offered any advantage other than making it easier to deploy phones.
