[04:53] <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.
[04:55] <sarnold> cognitios: are you sure the username on the remote server is also cognitios?
[04:56] <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.
[04:57] <cognitios> Nothing has been done to it, I haven't even logged into the server before
[07:25] <blaaa> is it somehow possible to use a tpm for measured booting an UEFI server? I believe trusted-grub is only for BIOS
[09:15] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:41] <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...
[11:19] <larsi> don't ask to ask atralheaven_
[11:19] <larsi> http://sol.gfxile.net/dontask.html
[11:21] <lordievader> atralheaven_: Know what is running on your server, know what ports it uses. Firewall all other ports.
[11:21] <lordievader> For starters ;)
[11:24] <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.
[11:25] <lordievader> You might not want to tell the other party nothing is running ;)
[11:26] <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 ;)
[11:40] <atralheaven_> you mean I should explain my problem with details directly?
[11:40] <bekks> Yes...
[11:44] <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
[11:45] <atralheaven_> I want to block email ports
[11:47] <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.
[11:49] <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.
[11:50] <atralheaven_> they're connecting to my server with openvpn, and they can do that
[11:51] <bekks> So if you disable email ports, your clients will not be able to send email.
[11:52] <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
[11:53] <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?
[11:54] <atralheaven_> they use my vps as openvpn server
[11:54] <bekks> So they dont use your server for emailing.
[11:55] <bekks> Then - instead of firewalling - configure your VPS for localhost mail purposes only.
[11:55] <bekks> No need for a firewall.
[11:56] <atralheaven_> so when someone use my vps as openvpn server, he can't send emails using my server? I just want to prevent abusing
[11:57] <bekks> 0815 135510 < bekks> Then - instead of firewalling - configure your VPS for localhost mail purposes only.
[12:06] <atralheaven_> may you give me some keywords to google so I can find a guide to see how can I do that
[12:15] <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
[12:16] <atralheaven_> I've been using linux on my computers for several years, but I'm new to the client-server world
[15:50] <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
[15:52] <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
[18:10] <snowkidind> anybody know apache - passenger
[18:10] <snowkidind> apache is not showing up in passenger-memory-stats
[18:22] <jonathan_> hi I heared it is a bad idea to put mysql into a kvm vm, is it the case ?
[19:06] <lordievader> jonathan_: Where did you hear that?
[19:07] <jonathan_> a friend who did a lots of it for the asterisk company, saying the io is very slow
[19:21] <JanC> it shouldn't be "very slow" when done properly
[19:22] <JanC> maybe he was running it on a CoW disk image or something like that...
[19:24] <JanC> and/or not using virtio
[19:29] <patdk-lap> cow shouldn't be bad, unless it was setup horrible
[19:29] <patdk-lap> cow should be good
[19:30] <patdk-lap> cause you won't have any random writes :)
[19:36] <jonathan_> is there good resources to help me optimize the image
[19:36] <jonathan_> we are using virtio for sure
[19:37] <JanC> and don't use an image  :)
[19:38] <jonathan_> what do you mean ?
[19:44] <patdk-lap> what is an *image*?
[19:44] <patdk-lap> generally the issue with using cow, is what your using it ontop of
[19:45] <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
[20:15] <jonathan_> thanks for the tips
