James_EppI'm looking for a software recommendation as well as a guide possibility. I want to get a mail server up and running (preferably smtp/imap) that can host multiple domains. Nothing super fancy. Mailpile would be great for this, but yeah.....it's in dev. My skills are not what they could be. I'm one of those people where if they can't apt-get it or download a .deb, they are lost. GUI would be preferred, but I'm not scared of a lit02:14
tjjIf there's an ubuntu server that I'm rebooting remotely, is there a way to know the very instant that ssh becomes available?02:37
James_Epptjj: you could just ping the server. idk about ssh specifically, though.02:38
tjjJames_Epp: Yeah that was my first thought but unfortunately the system responds to pings way before sshd starts02:39
James_Epptjj: mmkay02:39
James_Epptjj: IDK how well it would work, but you could try "watch ssh user@server"02:40
tjjJames_Epp: Yeah I was hoping for something scriptable...I'll just head over to serverfault02:44
James_Epptjj: Good luck!02:44
rostamHI if i need to modify initramfs (/etc/fstab), are there any references how to do it? thx02:47

g0tchaheya guys, i have an ubuntu server VM running, anyone can advice on how to create a full system backups of it?08:48
g0tchamy ubuntu got compromised some how, i found some commands in the 'history' that i did not run08:50
g0tchai rebuilt the OS and now in the process of moving the data over to the new install08:50
g0tchabut im wondering whats the best way to create weekly backups so incase something like this happens again i just revert back to an older, cleaner backup08:50
g0tcharight now i cant even be sure of my database for example is compromised or not, so moving that to the new install is an issue08:51
g0tchaive read about rsync but thats not what i want08:51
g0tcharsync would already have synced the compromised files (if any)08:51
Anomie_workg0tcha: What VPS provider are you using? Some offer automatic updated (Linode)09:05
Anomie_workBut if you're moving the data over, you're probably moving the malicious code over with it too09:05
Anomie_work/s/d/s09:05
g0tchaAnomie_work, its a VM im running from home actually09:06
g0tchaand yeah, i figured that i might be moving the malicious code over thats why im moving only what i think is necessary for now to minimize the risk09:06
g0tchabut at the same time i want to future-proof by backups incase this happens or simply if the server just breaks down09:07
rbasakI use tarsnap with the server having a write-only key. Then if I can be confident about the date/time of compromise I can be confident that older backups are not compromised.09:07
g0tcharbasak, how does that work?09:12
rbasakg0tcha: tarsnap works like tar, but deduplicates, encrypts and writes out to a "cloud" location. The key can be split into separate write and read keys if desired. However, it's proprietary (though client source is available). See the tarsnap page for details.09:13
rbasakIt's very Unix-y09:13
g0tcharbasak, ib te gettubg started page it says its required to have a Tarsnap account and to egister my machines with that account09:17
g0tchais that done only on the "cloud" ? cant be used without creating an account and backing up localy?09:17
rbasakCorrect. Can't be used locally.09:17
rbasakI wrote "ddar" which is similar but can be used locally. It doesn't do encryption, though (relies on filesystem/ssh encryption)09:18
rbasakddar isn't packaged though. I really should get round to doing that.09:18
rbasakThere's also bup and one or two others.09:18
g0tchasounds complicated heheh09:25
zottaI have one program on my server which has a minor bug. Googling around i came to the conclusion that it was introduced in the very version i have and fixed in the next09:28
zottahow can i install another version?09:29
hitsujiTMOzotta: how was it installed?09:33
zottaapt-get09:33
zottaofficial repos09:33
zottai have looked in aptitude and only one version seems aviable from there09:34
hitsujiTMOif the later version is not in the repo, then you may want to look for a ppa for the software ... failing that you would prob have to build the latest version yourself09:34
rbasakzotta: what is the bug, and in what package? We do fix bugs in stable releases by backporting the fixes, provided that they meet some stability criteria: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates09:37
zottarbasak: The problem is that symbolic links are displayed as files which can not be downloaded or accessed in filezilla09:45
zottarbasak: i am using ubuntu 12.04 lts09:46
zottarbasak: It worked with 10.04 lts09:47
zottarbasak: on google i found this thread: http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=4240209:47
zottarbasak: but it did not work http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.proftpd.devel/2109:47
rbasakzotta: so a filezilla bug?09:48
zottait worked with the old server09:49
zottait seems to be the combination of proftpd and filezilla09:50
hitsujiTMOzotta: have you looked at http://askubuntu.com/questions/32001/need-proftpd-to-follow-symbolic-link09:50
zottahitsujiTMO: i tested DefaultRoot / and no effect09:52

jamespagewe have a smaller subset for kvm/qemu from memory20:23
smoserwell, yeah. ipxe-qemu20:23
smoserbut we didn't add that to the cd.20:23
smoseri'm not really clear on why we necessarily want any package on the cd20:24
jamespagesmoser, I see lots of stuff that we could drop20:24
jamespageI don't see iso as much more than something to hang our hat on for release and for small, single server installs anyway20:24
jamespagedrop/move from iso to supported seed20:24
smoserjamespage, is there some well defined "you put stuff on the cd because..."20:24
smoserthats my feeling to.20:25
jamespagesmoser, for example all of the cluster stack is on the iso20:25
* jamespage does not understand why20:25
jamespagesmoser, I think there may have been confusion about supported == on the iso20:26
jamespagewhich is not the case20:26
smoserright.20:26
jamespagemunin is on the iso as well20:26
smoserand coupled with "look at all the space the server iso has empty!"20:26
