| cognitios | I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I just reset a digital ocean server to Ubuntu 12.04, I was resent the password and everything via email. The password I was sent just simply will not be accepted. This is what happens http://pastebin.com/WumnhqL3 . I have no idea how to fix it. | 04:53 |
| sarnold | cognitios: are you sure the username on the remote server is also cognitios? | 04:55 |
| sarnold | it might be for the root account, or ubuntu account, or maybe some other account | 04:56 |
| cognitios | I'm not entirely sure, that's my digital ocean user name. | 04:56 |
| cognitios | Nothing has been done to it, I haven't even logged into the server before | 04:57 |

| atralheaven_ | Hello, I need some help to configure my vps firewall, I'm a newbie in networking and I don't know much about its concepts, I do like to learn about networking related to internet (not local networking), but I'm really busy until end of summer and I don't have enough time for it, for now I should config my vps firewall as soon as possible, I need some help with that. can anyone help me? | 10:41 |
| atralheaven_ | btw I'm sorry if my english is not very good... | 10:41 |
| larsi | don't ask to ask atralheaven_ | 11:19 |

| lordievader | atralheaven_: Know what is running on your server, know what ports it uses. Firewall all other ports. | 11:21 |
| lordievader | For starters ;) | 11:21 |
| bekks | Firewalling unused ports reminds me of snake oil. | 11:24 |
| bekks | You dont need to firewall a port which is not used by any service. | 11:24 |
| lordievader | You might not want to tell the other party nothing is running ;) | 11:25 |
| bekks | More likely, you dont want to tell the other party what is running. | 11:26 |
| lordievader | That is true, hence I said for starters ;) | 11:26 |
| atralheaven_ | you mean I should explain my problem with details directly? | 11:40 |
| bekks | Yes... | 11:40 |
| atralheaven_ | actually im just worry about email ports, my vps runs openvpn. and there are client's using it, I just want to keep them from being able to send spam emails | 11:44 |
| atralheaven_ | I want to block email ports | 11:45 |
| bekks | You dont want that, | 11:47 |
| atralheaven_ | I've blocked them with ufw on my vps, but there is another firewall from my vps provider panel | 11:47 |
| bekks | disabling email ports will disable email for ALL clients. | 11:47 |
| atralheaven_ | yes | 11:47 |
| bekks | You want to configure your email server instead, so only authenticated clients can send email. | 11:47 |
| bekks | That has nothing to do with firewalling. | 11:47 |
| atralheaven_ | may you explain more? the vps is only for running as openvpn server, I don't use email with it | 11:49 |
| bekks | You said your clients are using the VPS for sending emails. | 11:49 |
| atralheaven_ | they're connecting to my server with openvpn, and they can do that | 11:50 |
| bekks | So if you disable email ports, your clients will not be able to send email. | 11:51 |
| atralheaven_ | my clients use gmail or yahoo mail web interface, I think blocking email port is ok? is there an alternative way? | 11:52 |
| bekks | You said your clients use your VPS to send email. | 11:52 |
| atralheaven_ | I want to prevent abusing the server | 11:52 |
| bekks | If they are using yahoo mail foo, they are not using your VPS. | 11:53 |
| bekks | So are they using your VPS or not? | 11:53 |
| atralheaven_ | they use my vps as openvpn server | 11:54 |
| bekks | So they dont use your server for emailing. | 11:54 |
| bekks | Then - instead of firewalling - configure your VPS for localhost mail purposes only. | 11:55 |
| bekks | No need for a firewall. | 11:55 |
| atralheaven_ | so when someone use my vps as openvpn server, he can't send emails using my server? I just want to prevent abusing | 11:56 |
| bekks | 0815 135510 < bekks> Then - instead of firewalling - configure your VPS for localhost mail purposes only. | 11:57 |
| atralheaven_ | may you give me some keywords to google so I can find a guide to see how can I do that | 12:06 |
| atralheaven_ | I should have a basic idea of what it is and how it works, but I even don't know what should I look for | 12:15 |
| atralheaven_ | I've been using linux on my computers for several years, but I'm new to the client-server world | 12:16 |

| snowkidind | ok i am having issues getting rails to work on apache (passenger) with ubuntu on a production server (not really its my dev server, but it is serving webpages) I am pretty sure it has something to do with the Virtual Host config | 15:50 |
| snowkidind | my structure is /www/www/ to the root. (complicated) that site is a php site, within a subdirectory (railsTest) I want to run a rails app. Not sure how to set up 000-default.conf | 15:52 |

| jonathan_ | hi I heared it is a bad idea to put mysql into a kvm vm, is it the case ? | 18:22 |
| lordievader | jonathan_: Where did you hear that? | 19:06 |
| jonathan_ | a friend who did a lots of it for the asterisk company, saying the io is very slow | 19:07 |
| JanC | it shouldn't be "very slow" when done properly | 19:21 |
| JanC | maybe he was running it on a CoW disk image or something like that... | 19:22 |
| JanC | and/or not using virtio | 19:24 |
| patdk-lap | cow shouldn't be bad, unless it was setup horrible | 19:29 |
| patdk-lap | cow should be good | 19:29 |
| patdk-lap | cause you won't have any random writes :) | 19:30 |
| jonathan_ | is there good resources to help me optimize the image | 19:36 |
| jonathan_ | we are using virtio for sure | 19:36 |
| JanC | and don't use an image :) | 19:37 |
| jonathan_ | what do you mean ? | 19:38 |
| patdk-lap | what is an *image*? | 19:44 |
| patdk-lap | generally the issue with using cow, is what your using it ontop of | 19:44 |
| patdk-lap | you can't just think of one layer, you have to remember all the layers your doing, and how they interact with each other | 19:45 |
| patdk-lap | and remember mysql uses 16k page sizes | 19:45 |
| patdk-lap | so you should be optimizingfor 16k | 19:45 |
| jonathan_ | thanks for the tips | 20:15 |
