| ljkimz | Hello, I'm configuring LDAP on 18.04 and noticed that /etc/ldap.conf requires world-read permissions. This is a problem when the ldap server requires auth (bindpw). Is there any way around this? | 01:15 |

| fattywompus | Hello, I'm intending to install ubuntu server 20.04 on a machine that already has an existing windows 7 partition. I get the feeling Ubuntu server might not handle that as neatly as regular ubuntu finding it and adding it to grub. Is that correct and should it just be a matter of needing to "sudo update grub"? Or what's the established protocol for this? | 07:43 |
| fattywompus | would "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" do the trick? | 08:02 |

| quadrathoch2 | fattywompus, you would need to install it the same way (bios/uefi) and then os-prober | 12:20 |
| RoyK | fattywompus: ubuntu server and desktop are the same except for the graphical gui | 13:16 |
| fattywompus | Ok thanks very much | 13:18 |
| geosmile | hello everyone | 17:20 |
| geosmile | Psi-Jack, Looking at auto-mox now | 17:21 |
| Psi-Jack | There was one other I used to use, but can't find it. | 17:21 |
| geosmile | Psi-Jack, Automox is $5/month/machine. So in my case => $250/month/machine. Landscape from Ubuntu is $8/month/machine | 17:22 |
| geosmile | Psi-Jack, I also was looking at tinycp - but I'm not sure I can trust these softwares with my servers. | 17:23 |
| Psi-Jack | Yep. Or just $3/mo, because do you really need "Manage?" heh | 17:23 |
| geosmile | Psi-Jack, Or I can whip out my ansible script for $0/month - the only thing I've to do is create a sudo user without password and with ssh keys. Then run it using a cron job. | 17:24 |
| geosmile | that i'll have to do with any of these softwares anyways i think | 17:24 |
| geosmile | Psi-Jack, have you ever heard of tinycp? | 17:25 |
| Psi-Jack | never heard of tinycp, no. | 17:25 |
| Psi-Jack | I do, however use and recommend Rudder and Ansible. As a combination, they are excellent. And work well with Ubuntu, and others. | 17:25 |
| Psi-Jack | You can use Rudder with plugins (some are commercial), that can be used to report security concerns, check updates and report that, various things. | 17:26 |
| Psi-Jack | And you can have it routinely do things that require orchestration, with ansible, with feedback as a policy. | 17:26 |
| geosmile | Psi-Jack, Rudder is $40/year/node - I wish I could just pay for a good ansible script to do this. Need to get that done myself :) | 17:27 |
| Psi-Jack | Rudder is free, too. | 17:28 |
| geosmile | looking at the free version of Rudder. | 17:28 |
| tomreyn | what's running on these servers? are they all running the same softeware stacks, or different ones? | 17:29 |
| Psi-Jack | Great question. :) | 17:30 |
| geosmile | tomreyn, ubuntu 16 or 18 - all of them | 17:30 |
| geosmile | different softwares installed on them | 17:30 |
| Psi-Jack | 16.04 and 18.04 I hope you mean. | 17:30 |
| geosmile | but base OS is Ubuntu - later on moving to 18.04LTS on all of them | 17:30 |
| geosmile | I think 1-2 are still running 16.04 | 17:30 |
| tomreyn | so it's a large zoo, not just a couple systems forming one large service | 17:31 |
| geosmile | tomreyn, yes - And I just need apt update/upgrade to work for starters. At least be able to monitor that there are updates pending to be installed. | 17:32 |
| geosmile | On premise landscape would have been best if it was free to scale beyond 10 machines. | 17:33 |
| Psi-Jack | Heh, I do that monitor metric, just to see if there's updates pending, via Prometheus. | 17:33 |
| Psi-Jack | An option you can also look into is possibly StackStorm. | 17:36 |
| Psi-Jack | Event-driven automation concept, that could be used with other components to monitor "security updates" needs, and automate an action to fix it. | 17:36 |
| tomreyn | or just unattended-upgrades | 17:36 |
| Psi-Jack | You'd still need to monitor and react appropriately to the need to reboot machines. | 17:37 |
| tomreyn | yes, it can send e-mail, but i doubt anyone would want to monitor 50 systems that way | 17:38 |
| Psi-Jack | I've used StackStorm in a test environment to monitor security updates, install them, monitor reboot needed, and schedule an automated reboot, in a setup that was fully HA capable. | 17:38 |
| tomreyn | although not really, there is: Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "true"; Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot-Time "02:00"; | 17:40 |
| tomreyn | but you'd probably want to get central visibility into this. | 17:41 |
| Psi-Jack | Yeah, if you want automated reboots too..... That would be both impressive and awesome. | 17:41 |
| Psi-Jack | You'd obviously need great HA for such. :) | 17:42 |
| raven_ | Hey | 18:30 |
| raven_ | How'd I link on windows and Android | 18:30 |
| RoyK | raven_: link? | 19:21 |
| wolf_raven | does systemctl not work on WSL. what is the alternative | 19:26 |
| wolf_raven | I want to know the status of apache | 19:27 |
| wolf_raven | systemtcl status apache2 is giving error | 19:27 |
| wolf_raven | systemctl status apache2 | 19:28 |
| wolf_raven | System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. | 19:28 |
| wolf_raven | using service apache2 I can only start stop restart etc, can't know the status | 19:28 |
| wolf_raven | I've to use localhost/server-status on browser | 19:29 |
| wolf_raven | Is there a way to get the status on the server | 19:29 |
| quadrathoch2 | wolf_raven | 19:36 |
| quadrathoch2 | !wsl | 19:36 |
| ubottu | Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows or ##windows. For installation instructions, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide | 19:36 |
| quadrathoch2 | is probably better to ask | 19:36 |
| wolf_raven | will check it out on that channel. thanks | 19:36 |
| fattywompus | does ubuntu server ship with any kind of midnight commander ncurses type file manager? | 19:54 |
| TJ- | fattywompus: no, you would install it if needed | 20:01 |
| fattywompus | Thanks | 20:04 |
| BlueEagle | fattywompus: mc is my go-to file manager for console. | 21:19 |
| fattywompus | yeah I really enjoy it. I've been trying out it's built in mcedit as well which I'm finding to be pretty slick | 21:22 |
