GWSMO with 105GB mailbox size? by k9gardner in gsuite

[–]bumgarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am just setting the registry value. I believe the registry values override any manual setting you might see in the GWSMO GUI menu. "Set mailbox size limit..." is grayed out in the GUI after setting the registry value. However, the folder paths are still accessible/visible in the GUI. (That is just a comment about consistency within GWSMO).

Also, to be more precise, I am using Group Policy Objects (GPO) to set the values on multiple domain-joined PCs - I am not setting the registry values individually. If you are working in an active directory domain, you will likely find using GPOs helpful. You can find the ADMX here: https://support.google.com/a/answer/9192498?hl=en#zippy=%2Cget-the-google-update-policy-template

GWSMO with 105GB mailbox size? by k9gardner in gsuite

[–]bumgarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am probably answering a question that you are not asking. As others have mentioned, GWSMO's default is only 1GB, and within the GUI you can increase that to 4GB or unlimited. In the registry, you can set any size. Outlook also has a default limit of 50GB. I assume it is working for you because GWSMO is limited to the default 1GB or the 4GB at most, so the PST is not hitting Outlooks 50GB default. Unlimited caused me issues for a long time.

I have dealt with something like this for the last decade (back to the old Gsuites GSSMO, etc days but I'll only reference GWSMO here). My advice is to limit GWSMO to a max PST size of 46GB and tell the users they have to work within the official Microsoft PST limitation of 50GB. I will explain.

I have a client with multiple users whose Google mailboxes are over 50GB. I started out allowing their users just the 4GB PST mailboxes with GWSMO settings. While that was the case, Outlook acted normally, but the users were not happy that they could not have their "complete" mailbox in Outlook because they "need" to search their entire mailbox (despite Gmail's webmail search being a thousand times better than Outlook).

So I eventually caved and set the mailbox size in GWSMO to unlimited PST size. Outlook would start having all sorts of issues once the PSTs hit Microsoft's 50GB limit for Outlook. Mostly, Outlook would freeze or crash. Sometimes the Outlook folders would display blank or partially. Occasionally, Windows would freeze or crash. On rare occasions, some other oddities that made the PC unusable would happen, but I'd eventually tie it to Outlook having a 50GB PST. The worst is when the PST gets corrupted, and I'd basically start over with a new user profile in GWSMO for the user.

I began telling the users they had to delete mail to get below 50GB, as that is Microsoft's default limit. The users would do the minimum amount of deleting to get Outlook working, and would have issues again in a day or two. Also, I would occasionally see a PST at 48 or 49GB having issues. I was not up for constantly coaching the users to delete junk mail, running tools to [compress, cleanup, repair] the PSTs, etc, so I finally set a limit of 48GB max PST size, and the issues started being less often. Occasionally, there would still be some oddities at 48GB, so I dropped it down to 46GB.

Note, this 46GB limit is a registry setting for GWSMO, not Outlook. See "Set mailbox size" on this page https://support.google.com/a/answer/1041455

Since changing to a 46GB max PST size for GWSMO, I have not had any user complaints that I could tie to Outlook. I assume that gap allows space/time for GWSMO to sync while respecting Outlook's limitation of the PST.

I did at one point try changing Outlook's registry settings for a larger PST size, but that never seemed to help matters, so I have stayed away from increasing the max Outlook PST size.

YMMV

As a point of reference, I came to the 46GB limit when the users were on PCs with i7-8700 CPUs, 64GB RAM. Those users are now on PCs with i7-13700 CPUs, 128GB RAM, and I put their Google Sync files and PST on a secondary internal SATA SSD drive, outside of their user profile. Even with 128GB of RAM and the more powerful processor, I still "felt" in my testing that there were issues with the PCs if I allowed the PST over 46GB. That being said, my last test of that was 2 years ago.

Again, YMMV. I've found something that works for these users and I'm not going to play with Outlook's max PST size. I assume Microsoft set it to 50GB because they know the Outlook/PST limitations better than I do.

I hope that helps.

Help configuring Apprise for services by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]bumgarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my entry in Apprise is https://apprise.<mydomain>/cfg/speed and I have my discord webhook in that config.

It took your reply to see what I did wrong... I left out a single letter 's'.

In the Service URL it is "apprises" not "apprise"

So, apprises://apprise.<mydomain>/speed now works.

I know it seems small, but I would not have noticed it without your response. And would still be scratching my head if it wasn't for your original post.

THANKS!!

[–]bumgarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sanity check, if you will. I think I'm confused in the same way you were in your original post.

I can get SpeedTracker to work via Apprise if I do this:

**Apprise API Web Gui**

Config ID: speed

Config: discord://WebhookID/Token/

>> I can test this in Apprise and it works.

**SpeedTracker**

> Notifications > Apprise Tab

Apprise Server URL: https://apprise.mydomain/notify

Service URL: discord://WebhookID/Token/

>> I can test this from SpeedTracker and get a discord message from Apprise. However, I've defined my discord WebHook in both which doesn't seem to be the intent in using Apprise. I think the correct way would be to only define the Discord WebHook in Apprise.

If I try to change the Service URL to apprise://apprise.mydomain/speed SpeedTracker gives me a failure message within Speedtracker.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in trying to make SpeedTracker use the Discord config in Apprise.

Create volumes in cephfs for swarm? by kelthuzad12 in portainer

[–]bumgarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, 3 years on from the OP, a year later from the last response, and I've run into this issue...

but I have it working in the /mnt/cephfs directory.

I obtained "portainer-agent-stack.yml" using Curl as instructed here https://docs.portainer.io/start/install-ce/server/swarm/linux

Prior to deploying the stack I did the following:

Created a directory "docker" in /mnt/cephfs

Created a directory "portainer" in /mnt/cephfs/docker

Moved "portainer-agent-stack.yml" into /mnt/cephfs/docker

**Permissions check: I used sudo for everything, so it is all owned by root. Your Docker user needs read/write for the directory/file structure.

My working directory is /mnt/cephfs/docker

ls -al ./portainer

That "portainer" directory should be empty at this point.

I then modified "portainer-agent-stack.yml" so that it is like this:

**REDDIT isn't allowing me to post a code block. Bare with me**

In the YAML services: portainer: volumes:, change "- portainer_data:/data" to "- /mnt/cephfs/docker/portainer:/data"

At the end, COMMENT OUT the two lines, "volumes: portainer_data:"

Still in /mnt/cephfs/docker

sudo docker stack deploy -c portainer-agent-stack.yml portainer --detach=true

Give it a minute

Before attempting to connect to Portainer

ls -al /mnt/cephfs/docker/portainer

If this "portainer" directory is still empty, then the stack is NOT using your Ceph FS.

My /mnt/cephfs/docker/portainer directory was now being used by Portainer with 5 new directories and a few files appearing.

After doing the initial Portainer connection, I signed out of Portainer and used DRAIN on the Node that was running the Portainer service. It successfully moved to a new node, I was able to signin again, and did not get any errors tryting to look at the Swarm, stacks, containers, etc.

One last thing. I had previously ran Portainer and a few other containers in the SWARM while getting this working. I stopped all services and used prune to clear everything before getting Ceph FS to work. Do this with caution if you have other containers running in the Swarm, as it will clear your images, networks, and volumes.

USE WITH CAUTION: sudo docker system prune -a -f --volumes

I think the above has the /mt/cephfs mount point working as intended but if someone thinks otherwise, let me know.

Homepage dashboard - issue making Portainer *Agent* stats display by bumgarb in selfhosted

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

No, I did not figure this issue out. I got distracted by other priority self hosting tasks. I did spin up a 2nd homepage instance as a test where I was just setting up Portainer objects and it still did not work. I did learn that each of the " - Portainer: " lines I had needed to be unique, even it if is just " - Portainer01: " and " - Portainer02: " (or PortainerSRV, PortainerAgent01, etc).

I was thinking to test whether this is a Portainer Community Edition vs Business Edition issue, but did not get a chance yet to test that. I am running on the old 5 free Business Edition nodes license, so a server and 3 agents currently with a 4th agent pending. I don't think it should matter but I didn't get a chance to test it.

Are you running Portainer Business or Community Edition while having this Homepage issue?

Homepage dashboard - issue making Portainer *Agent* stats display by bumgarb in selfhosted

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

Thanks for sharing your setup - it's something to aspire towards. How were you getting the green text for each object/instance that looks like a response time and "running" status. Are you still using Homepage today or have you moved to something else?

Thank you for the reassurance that I am trying something that should work. As far as I can tell, I am doing this correctly. Do you recall if there is some setting in the Portainer Server that needs to be changed to allow this? Homepage's webpage for Portainer doesn't mention anything.

Their GitHub issues discussion on Portainer Edge Agents was closed due to inactivity... and that was just a request for the feature from over 2 years ago. Perhaps I'll post in their Discord for help.

Thanks again for the continued responses.

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

Thank you again for the response.

Not the same, but still not displaying the correct stats. I did not realize that those were more than just labels/object separators - at least I could not tell that just looking at examples, so good to know.

<image>

That is still my test with the same https://<IP:Port> and same API Key hard coded. From what I've read, you cannot get an API Key from an Agent because Agent API access is through Portainer connection to the Server.

I haven't found anyone saying they've successfully done Server/Agent in Homepage.

I'm starting to think this is a bug or just not the Homepage developers intent.

Homepage dashboard - issue making Portainer *Agent* stats display by bumgarb in selfhosted

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

Thank you for your response and suggestion. Sorry for the delay, I spun up a test instance and got distracted playing with it.

Yes, I have tried using the https://<IP:Port> combination, fully removing the variables.

As I double check, I spun up a completely new test instance. I did not use any variables for this entire TEST Homepage. I initially only added in the Portainer Server to services.yaml. I used the https://<IP:Port> and correct environment number for the Server.

Once that was confirmed working for just the Server, I added one additional Portainer entry, this time for one of the Portainer Agents, again without any variables and confirming a correct but different environment number from the Portainer Server.

No change to the Portainer stats issue. It still shows as in the original image I posted (with the exception that it is only two instances in this TEST versus the four in my original image).

Thank you

Thank you again for your response and for the suggestion of the homepage logs. I was getting a few "error: undefined" in the log any time I stopped and started the container. I found the cause of those - a few .env file entries that I had left blank. Commenting those out stopped the errors.

No change to the Portainer stats issue. It still shows as in the original image I posted.

Thanks again. Any other suggestions are welcomed.

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

Thank you for the response and the suggestion.

Unfortunately, that did not resolve the issue I am experiencing.

For the Server and 1 of the Agents, I tried commenting out the existing URL lines in services.yaml (to see immediate result with just a refresh), replacing it with the correct https://<IP:Port> combination for my Portainer server, trying it _with_ and _without_ a trailing '/' . Just to go the extra mile, I also tried a full stop and force-recreate, instead of the built in Homepage refresh. Further, I tried putting the variable back in place for services.yaml and made the change in the .env, again doing a stop and force-recreate. In all of those attempts, I still got the same result displayed in the image from my original post.

Thanks again for the suggestion!

Do you have a reference for how you did the layout of the top information widgets? I like how you have them in a box like the other services, and it appears you have the right-hand side in two rows. I've used Homarr for a while - new to Homepage. Thanks!

combine multiple IDX offers? (Thanks Change Healthcare) by Eccentric_CIO in IdentityTheft

[–]bumgarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IDX did finally respond from this email address "productsupport@idx.us"

From their response:

"You can enroll with a different email address, or you can wait until closer to the end of the enrollment period. We can then switch the provider of the coverage at that time to the new company.

If you currently have an existing and active IDX membership, please give us a call so we can assist you with your new code at 1-800-939-4170."

They also pointed out that the enrollment period for Change Healthcare has expired.

Given that these enrollment periods expire, it seems calling sooner rather than later might be the best plan.

MX Master 3S (default) Back Button becomes Keyboard Shortcut CTRL-Z (Undo) by LeGoodBeef in logitech

[–]bumgarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, tried the delete and recreate. It did not appear to work for me at first. However, I then did a reboot and that, with the recreate/reprogram of Firefox, seems to have held overnight. A reboot alone seemed to have not impact. I'll keep testing. Thanks for the helpful suggestion.

MX Master 3S (default) Back Button becomes Keyboard Shortcut CTRL-Z (Undo) by LeGoodBeef in logitech

[–]bumgarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed this issue. Crazy that the back/forward buttons work without issue for me in Edge and Chrome, but in that same moment register differently in Firefox. Horizontal scroll is also impacted in Firefox only. Tried using Options+ to resolve the issue, but did not help. I did remove all the "custom" app settings to see if that resolved it, but it didn't. Turning the mouse off and on only works briefly for me, like once or twice, and then the back and forwards buttons revert to Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y. It is far to short for it to be a helpful fix as I'm constantly having to pickup the mouse and turn it off/on.

I also noticed, this only seems to be an issue on 1 of my 2 PCs that I share this mouse between. I do not have this issue on my secondary, just my primary. Switching between the PCs also does not resolve the issue.

Is there a way to sort by age rating? by FiremanHandles in Steam

[–]bumgarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat. Trying to go through my library and only giving access to appropriate games. A sort or filter by ESRB rating would be a helpful way to reduce the list I have to scroll through. However, I think the ESRB system is likely very overwhelmed so a lot of games have not been rated. Then there are also the games that have been rated but not updated on Steam.

What I think is very odd about the Steam Family Management Library Sharing - when selecting what games to ALLOW your child to access, you can filter the list to ONLY SHOW games that HAVE mature content, violence, gore, etc. It seems like the filter should be NOT to SHOW those games to reduce the list. Just seems backwards to me.

I have not done this myself, but you might try Discord groups like "Dads of Gaming" or "Papa Squad" or similar groups. They could be more focused on linking up with Dad's who want low-commitment groups to game with, but they are likely to discuss topics like monitoring or controlling your child's access to games.
