@Obsolesce you can also go with Zendesk as well. It is a solid ticketing system.

Proxmox requires ZFS if you are going to use the built in replication.

Don't you need more than one server to have any use for replication?

I have the specified setup at two clients. Dell hardware RAID with a ZFS RAID 0 on top of it to get replication working.

Don't make this complicated, use the official method. This is even what Microsoft's own site says to use when you don't have Windows already...

sudo dd if=/path/to/Windows.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M && sync

Where /dev/sdb is the partition of your USB stick. Literally, that's all you do.

@Mario-Jakovina said in Nextcloud experience:

What is this "cloud service" that does "data replication directly to the users local drives" if Nextcloud is not that? We use local fileservers just to decrease number of file conflicts.

When I say local I mean that the actual file is residing on the users harddrive. So if you unplug the network, the file can still be accessed.

Since you are talking about fileservers, that distinction has to be made. Because if the files are on the fileserver and you have an SMB share or something else, it's not on the users local drive.

@Mario-Jakovina said in Nextcloud - how to restore many deleted files:

We lost few subfolders (>700files) that we can't find in "Deleted files" which is terrible experience for us, and we will reconsider our usage of Nextcloud (I plan to open another topic for that). We recovered from backup.

Options:

Files are in another folder, moved by random_user_03, thus not in trash. Files were deleted, and trash emptied by malicious_user_06.

What I'm afraid of is:
Option 3. - Some bug in Nextcloud that deleted our files or lost track of files that users accidentaly moved...

Nothing would delete something a user moved.
As for lost track? That is easy there are CLI commands to rescan files.
Never had to use it because of user error before. Only because I was administratively changing things.

@manxam said in MeshCentral 2 - unknown device michael-7-x64:

This is an AV sandbox performing a scan and run on this application.
Happens regularly when deploying various remote management tools to devices with AV.
You'll get some Microsoft VMs, Bitdefender automated machines, Kaspersky, etc...

It looks as though this SPECIFIC device name is from Bitdefender's sandbox :

Nice find!

I solved this - problem was, after I changed port on MC2, I needed to download new MeshAgents that are setup for that port and install them to monitored PCs

However to store the VM themselves and boot your system I would very much like to have a small SSD drive for that.

There is no point in putting an SSD in a system for the hypervisor. That is just stupid.

There is no “storing the VM themselves” on the SSD unless you are talking about splitt8ng the storage VM into a boot vDisk and a data vDisk.

But even the, the OS will never use the SSD aside from boot. A file server al,ost never writes to the OS, it is all about the storage vDisk.

You're right. I was thinking putting the xenserver host (about 50GB space) and the guests on SSD and just have archive files and backups on the HDDs. From my experience the VMs will be sluggish running on the WD RED disks as they are much slower (avg seek and transfer rate) than your typical 10K, 15K 2.5" drives. But your right that it won't matter much in this case.
