So lets start by defining what ip aliases are. I put these in the same category as virtual interfaces. In other words these are not physically connected interfaces but are stacked on top of the main interface, in most cases this is eth0.
With the need to back fill my time some days I have been looking into and trying to get a centralized syslog server deployed for a while. This is a huge benefit for the fact that as it says it is centralized. Continue reading
So if you have ready any of my previous postings you will see that I setup nginx as a reverse proxy to help speed things up on my personal VPS. This seemed to work wonders and dramatically reduced the load on my VPS. Well I have updates
In the world of servers there are many options when it comes to protecting your disks and the data on those disks. You can create backups of your disks or even get creative and rsync your data to another drive or to an off site storage area. On my server I chose to go with a RAID array.
So with Disk space being an issue I thought how can we clean up on a cPanel server. This script is not perfect but it does a good job of clearing about 1GB of disk space on average I have noticed.
Recently a co-worker mentioned that they tried out nginx and noticed that it was quite snappy. I didn’t know exactly how it worked but thought I would give it a try. As a result I had this site down for a number of days while I corrected the issues. In the end I did the following: Continue reading
Well recently I have been very interested in some aspects with securty at work. I have been testing and reviewing some great DVR systems that run on linux. So I went ahead and added a VPS to my OpenVZ server and turned up and installed Zone Minder. So far I have not been able to get the two cameras hook up and allow Zone Minder to monitor for motion, yet I still find it amazing at the quality of these cheaper cameras. I have done security systems before and usually they require a box of 3 to 5 thousand dollars and 30+ man hours just to setup and test the cameras. From this point you would be required to then setup users, remote access, and train the end user all while this hardware you have it on is usually a single drive system and really does you no good other than to have a over view of what ever you want to watch.
So right now my server is setup as the following:
- Intel Pentium D 3.)GHz (dual core) CPU
- 8GB DDR2 ECC Memory
- 160GB Primary Drive
- RAID-1 500GB /vz Drive for all VPS hosts
- 500GB /backup Drive for backups
- Janky Hot Swap Case
So my research finds Zone Minder to be a little resource intensive but this server dosen’t do much so I press on and install it anyways. I followed the same instructions you can find at http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/CentOS#Step_Five_-_Installing_ZoneMinder_1.23.3 Wiki for Great Justice!
All I shall say is I think Virutozzo 4 should have kept the progress bar like in Virtuozzo 2.5 and 3.0.
