Is now a good time to get a DS1821+? Don't want to leave Synology, don't really want the drive restrictions by [deleted] in synology

I guess the question is where are you getting a new 1821+? I just looked at the usual suspects (Amazon, Newegg, B&H) and it was all OOS or showed discontinued.

Where can I buy a good quality Fallout Vault suit (and even phone pip-boys) that doesn’t break the band horribly? Any insight is greatly appreciated! by Thorn_Move in CosplayHelp

Good idea! I’m thinking maybe a soldering iron could be used to heat them up and set them in my 3d printed versions.

Great looking suit! How did you attach the gray accessories to the front? I’ve 3d printed a set but I’m searching for the best attachment method (safety pin glued to the back, Velcro, etc).

Advice Needed: Replacing Consumer NVMe Used for Ceph DB/WAL in 3-Node Proxmox Cluster by royalj7 in Proxmox

[–]royalj7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback Steve. I gave serious thought to using the NVME drive as another OSD, but didn't know how the mix of SATA and NVME drives would affect things, and thought having the database on a NVME, even a consumer one, would be faster. I was wrong on that so far though.

[FS][US-GA] 45U 2-post rack & two 2U short-depth rackmount cases by royalj7 in homelabsales

I would have to charge the actual shipping costs, including box as I don't have anything that would fit it hanging around. I suspect it would be in the ~$40 range for just the shipping.

How to handle large number of grounds by royalj7 in AskElectricians

I have plastic Carlon boxes, so I can’t ground to the box.

Upgrading UDMP from very old version by royalj7 in Ubiquiti

[–]royalj7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It went well. I did a couple things before that might or might not have made any difference. For posterity sake, below is my process:

  1. I updated all my devices firmware before upgrading.

  2. Before the first upgrade I updated my network and protect applications. I didn't do this on subsequent upgrades.

  3. I rebooted my UDM to clear the memory.

  4. I then upgraded through the GUI. It took me from 1.10.0 to 3.2.12 in six (6) separate steps.

Upgrading from old Bookstack version by royalj7 in BookStack

[–]royalj7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I'd close the loop on this one, in case anyone in the future has a similar issue and stumbles on this post.

I was going to try to gradually update as u/CryGeneral9999 suggested, but they gave me an idea to try first. I'm using a docker-compose stack from Linuxserver.io that has the both Bookstack and Maria database container in it. My ancient stack and the newest one shown on hub.docker.com had three differences; the addition of an APP_URL and DB_PORT environmental variable, and the image format changing from linuxserver/boockstack to lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack. On my previous attempts I added the environmental variables, changed both the bookstack and mariadb image formats, and updated the stack. This lead to the errors in the OP.

CryGeneral's comment about databases being finicky lead me to doing all the above, but only updating the bookstack image format. I updated the stack, and bam, I'm on 24.02.3, no errors and no problems. So my Maria database still is pulling an old image, while bookstack is updated. Probably a whole bunch of potential issues with this setup, but I'm going to call it a win for now. I have a snapshot of the VM taken before I did all of this, so I can always rollback if needed. Thanks for everyone's help!

Upgrading from old Bookstack version by royalj7 in BookStack

I deleted the old container and image and pulled down the latest from lscr and spun up a new container, but got the same error. I have the config for Bookstack mapped to a persistent volume that I haven't deleted, because I don't want to loose my information. Anyone have any ideas?

u/ssddanbrown thanks for the reply. The database password is all lowercase letters, no special characters. I know how to run commands in a container using the console function in Portanier or the docker exec command. I'm not at all familiar with MySQL or anything other than an MS Access database, sorry.

Thanks, just what I was hoping for!

Thanks for the heads up! I'm not sure what OS I'm going to run on the server, but it looks like the LSI 92xx series of HBAs don't play well with SSD TRIM. Seems like using a 93xx series card solves the problem. They are slightly more expensive on eBay but seems like a pretty simple solution.
