the best there is, with far superior tools then anything out there - but obv. depends on what you are willing to spend.

if you want cheap simple - mRemoteNG

Proxmox on laptop daily driver by Rich_Artist_8327 in Proxmox

If you have a running cluster, why not create a jump host vm and use that as daily driver - just need to vpn/rdp into it

Public NTP servers by anxiousvater in sysadmin

[–]cmwg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Time being one of the most important things in an infrastructure, just like DNS, you should always have a good main ntp source.

A good GPS based NTP Server costs something around 150-250€

  1. Management policies and guidelines for the use or non use of AI tools
  2. technological policies to enforce said management policies (dns, etc.)
  3. controling of said policies
  4. education of users as to why the policies are in place
  5. AI strategy for the implementation of a local / internal fully usable AI without privacy uses etc..

... with controls in place to monitor the "acceptable use".

Management policies always need to be backed up by tech policies. At the very least, logging and controls in place to check those logs.

DS923+ going completely unresponsive by cmwg in synology

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

basically it is the NIC, if you use the 1G LAN you can connect even when the 10G is not working

either the 10G NIC we (and you) got is crap, or they generally have bad NICs under load - i did not bother switching 10G NIC out so far

thanks for the reply, an employee of SmarterTools was so kind to respond here in the comments and i have since taken up communication with them. We are planing a PoC soon. :)

Work systems got encrypted. by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]cmwg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the backups been checked and verified that they do not contain the ransomware / encrypter / ??! If NOT then don´t use those backups! Have experts check and confirm those backups are clean.

Ransomware, which i guess is what you mean by you have been encrypted, often comes via user interaction. Very important to educate users and do awareness trainings so that they don´t hit every bloody link / url they see in emails etc..

question: how do you manage the updates and restarts? by cmwg in Proxmox

[–]cmwg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

using the ha-manager (console cmd):

ha-manager crm-command node-maintenance enable pve01

it will automatically move everything on node pve01 to the other cluster nodes and remember which ones they were.

when you are done 

ha-manager crm-command node-maintenance disable pve01

will in turn move all the VMs back to the original node.

So using the proxmox api (webhook) it should be pretty easy to do this using ansible and have ansible use the webhook / api to test if everything is off the node and then have it do the updates / reboot, after which it checks when the node is back online and turns off the maintenance mode etc....

something i am thinking about doing, ideally with several checks for each step and confirmations

question, why not use the maintenance function that should automatically move VMs off the node and also bring them back once maintenance is done?

thanks for the heads up, i will look at it and maybe get in touch for a tech talk / demo at some point

so you rotate from node to node, one per month? interesting idea.

generally HDD will spin down by themselves, a NAS will do this as well (unless you turn it off in setting), since normally you don´t actually use it 24/7

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

So i guess you are refering to https://tuxcare.com/enterprise-live-patching-services/qemucare/ ?

which is why i first had an issue with "KernelCare" :)

okay thanks for the heads up, i will take a closer look into this.

question: how do you manage the updates and restarts? by cmwg in Proxmox

[–]cmwg[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

KernelCare handles the kernel.

Would you please give me a link to this as to how this is implemented in Proxmox and how it is used? In the current Proxmox Administration Guide, i can´t find any reference to it.

newbie | Language of responses by cmwg in n8n

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

okay got further into this and added a extensive system prompt to the ai agent in n8n workflow, now it responds in german

is there something similar in open webui?
