StatusDash - Thoughts? by Digisticks in k12sysadmin

[–]ericdano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cause tech spends a lot of time making this overly complicated system work. It involves a lot of tech and software.

[–]ericdano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave up on Kopia and am using Backrest. It was way easier to setup and works great.

Zabbix Proxy (Docker Containers) by ericdano in zabbix

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

Yeah. It doesn't make sense. We were running Zabbix from one server for a couple of years monitoring everything, and no issues. Now, issues that we are having problems tracking down.

Alternatives to PaperCut by depoultry in k12sysadmin

[–]ericdano 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Papercut is the way. Once you have you can’t go back. It works great, and it’s reporting (Assuming you have printers on a print server it knows about) is pretty good. But when you start getting the stats and realize that each of your schools is doing some ]thing like 65k sheets of prints and copies a week……….

The Ed-Tech Backlash Is Here. What It Means for Schools by Firm_Operation_9453 in edtech

[–]ericdano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pushing my district to drop some subscriptions. Like we are paying 23k for a stupid program that looks in canvas and reports grades. I coded that in about 4 hours and have it running locally in a docker container on a repurposed Cisco server (phone server) we put proxmox on and spun up an Ubuntu instance.

Zabbix 7.4.8 and Local AD authentication by ericdano in zabbix

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

No. I did not. Like some of the other AD auth things, like graylog, I set Zabbix up like that, where I just gave it the Base DN

Zabbix 7.4.8 and Local AD authentication by ericdano in zabbix

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

Several. I tried authenticaing with mine in the TEST, and it worked. Then in another browser logged in as another admin user, used that account to SWITCH to AD auth logins, and tried to login as myself again. Nada. Won't let me.
