What Are You Doing Right Now

@scottalanmiller Pricing and features look quite nice, so I figured I'd try it out. Plus, they gave a $5 credit when I signed up, so with the $5 instance, that is one month free :thumbs_up:
It sounds like I could have used one of the cheaper instances, since this is for a small number of my family members' machines, but having only 10GB for the OS seems a bit light to me.

@srsmith If I only had the time. I really, really need to get one of these going.

No, dropping to cost below $5 means huge reduction is available RAM. You'd be quite sorry as the machine would be thrashing that low, I'd expect. The number of users or machines attached have extremely little impact on system resources. Those aren't the resource users.
-
From what we've seen, I'd guess that even ten thousand machines and a few hundred users would have no real impact on resources. Users, especially, are nothing but text entries in the database and even a hundred thousand users would barely do a thing.
-
To keep resources down, the most important thing is keeping your OS lean, and avoiding MongoDB for the install. MongoDB is the biggest effort to manage, and the biggest consumer of resources for a large install. And no one, AFAIK, has seen an install so large as to benefit from MongoDB yet.

@scotth Setting up a new Vultr account / instance was super quick. Within 15 minutes of signing up, I was connecting to a new Ubuntu 19.04 instance on a subdomain of my domain.
I suspect the "hard" part is going to be digesting all of the various configuration options for MC so that I install it securely with a proper Let's Encrypt certificate.

That's me. The wife has been ill lately and my free time isn't as free.

Free time? What's that?

It's very expensive

We've been pretty happy with Zoho Email over the last few weeks.

Going to 365 and online Exchange. Still running onsite exch 2010 on server 2008R2. And the best part is that I have to learn how to use Teams and then train everyone, but it will replace Webex, which kinda sucks and is Cisco.

I'm on a WebEx call right now. It's the worst. So flaky, bad audio, nothing works. One of our staff has a recording of me swearing about how bad WebEx is as their ringtone.

Hey WebEx uses some open source code, so that is very much their scapegoat.

That's their logic for why it is banned on open source platforms?

I've never even tried webex on any open source desktop, but my guess it it breaks something horribly and WebEx just doesn't want to own up to it.

So... just like on every other platform.
