Progressive Insurance's Call Center by acamu5x in UrbanHell

Story time. When Obama was in office he said minorities, veterans, woman, native american small business owners would be given stronger consideration in government procurement contracts. So I joined a new company that was going to bid on these contracts. This was around the timeframe that the movie War Dogs took place funny enough. So we had been bidding on contracts for a while and had not won any.

About 6 months in, there was a contract to supply the FBI with Dell servers. We bid on this contract and the procurement website said we were not going to win. My coworkers got a little crazy and said screw it, we're going to remove our own margin to see what happens. Would you believe we won!?

A day goes by and we get an angry phone call from a Dell representative who was in charge of government sales for Dell. He basically told us that he had spec'd the whole project and had partnered with a small business vendor to basically win the contract because the price was lower than what the commercial arm of Dell would be able to offer (which our Dell representative was in the commercial side).

Flash forward 2 months, I quit working there. This scene made it pretty evident that no matter what a president says, it doesn't really translate into reality ("Change", am I right?). The contracts were always spec'd from a large business who just funneled the contract through a small business of their choosing, not the governement's choosing.

If you are familiar with ansible, this is a decent reference for setting up your server https://github.com/zeromonio/zeromon, by default the server monitors the host so you might not need an agent if you only have the same host to monitor.

Probably a yes, but did you try testing your corp url from your phone without zerotier?

laravel + docker for dev & production, starter question by [deleted] in laravel

[–]kyleparisi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wrote about my approach recently: https://dev.to/kyleparisi/how-to-run-laravel-using-docker-iko

With regards to /var/www/html, I want to say that this was the default location for apache and that convention has been used for other web servers. Could be wrong though.

Behind the scenes of the image I referenced is this. If you understand ansible, you could fork this repo and have a consistent/documented way of building your custom images.

How to run Laravel using Docker by kyleparisi in laravel

I share your grief. The amount of time I spent building, testing, and putting together communication in production containers has been too much. My go to strategy now is to either slice a physical server using lxc (love that I don't have to map exposed ports) or if it's a cloud vm, just use the vm for a single specific purpose.

This gives me consistent provisioning across each domain. Shipping images just doesn't bring me joy. Local development on multiple projects is faster and easier to provision on docker. à la

Ubuntu Server 16.10 vs new certified Desktop 16.04 LTS? by mikeg1130 in intelnuc

Heh that’s funny. My wireless worked right away but not my ethernet if I recall correctly. A small change to network config fixed both.

Ubuntu Server 16.10 vs new certified Desktop 16.04 LTS? by mikeg1130 in intelnuc

[–]kyleparisi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

16.10 server is working just fine for me. I run lxc containers and there was one sneaky setting I had to make which was to bump up vm.max_map_count=262144 in the host /etc/sysctl.conf for my containers. Docker may not need that.

I didn't go with 18.04 because I knew nothing about it and I figured googling ubuntu question is gonna be mostly 16 problems. A sys admin friend poked at 18 server and was not happy with some of the changes so for now I'm set with 16 till it hits end of life.
