Just installed 24.04 Server. LVM is there and it is possible to customize through the installer. I even guessed how to setup a static IP on the first attempt, though that screen in the installer...
lxrandr has a simple GUI with a check box that will mirror displays
if
a) the card supports it (and the connections are made/working)
b) if X/Windows is the display server (I don't know about...
Has the autoinstall Storage documentation with lots and lots of examples been updated?
I can see where autoinstall files will be the preferred method, but only if people can figure out how to use...
Nice! I live too far south and too near a metro area for any Aurora to be seen. ;(
Many thanks to the Van Allen Belt for protecting all of us! While far from proven, that is likely the...
Looks like my memory between opus and vorbis is flawed. Just read that opus is better for short clips....
Any standard network protocol works inside VMs, assuming you choose normal, bridged, networking. If you choose host-only or NAT, then the guest can access outbound, but not the opposite. That's a...
Plain FTP can be fast, but with any CPU made the last 15 yrs, sftp, sshfs, NFS, are very fast. The only time I use Samba is for MS-Windows. Ghost Commander on Android supports sftp or there are...
Don't confuse encoding with the file container. ogg is a file container. Vorbis is an encoding. Same for opus - it is an encoding.
mka, ogg, mpa, mp3 are file containers.
AAC, mp3 (mpeg2 Layer...
Nobody should be using plain FTP since 2002. Use a better protocol.
Heck, use sshfs instead. Combined with ssh-keys, it is seamless, assuming you won't use NFS.
mkdir ~/mount-point
sshfs ...

Checked my collection for EELs ... seem to have some from mixed albums, none directly from the group. ;(
For fast transcoding, I have the Ryzen iGPU doing it. h.264 or h.265 - both take the same time. The CPU is barely touched. Jellyfin can trancode on the fly if you configure it. My Pi4 hates VP9. ...
No way would I place jellyfin directly on the internet. Behind a VPN, fine. Behind an ssh-socks proxy, fine. Never on the internet.
Jellyfin is too complex and has the DotNet bloat. I'm willing...
I build new desktops every 5-10 yrs and use them until they are worth $50 ... by that point, the case is the most useful part. Definitely not the motherboard, CPU, RAM, nor GPU. Still, the HDDs can...
I have 3 LXC 22.04 systems. No physical system installs. Linux containers use the swap from the host system ... which is 20.04
The host LXC system:
$ free -hm
total used...
Did a fresh install into a KVM/QEMU VM for both Xubuntu and Lubuntu. For both, I was unable to figure out how to use a manual LVM layout, my preferred storage management system. All I wanted was...
I don't use docker (so many reasons for this), but I use nginx as a reverse proxy for about 20 domains. Some run in lxc containers, but many run inside VMs. My reverse proxy machine also runs a few...
I'd copy the HOME over and perhaps some system configs from /etc/ would be selectively merged, then I'd use a list of installed 22.04 packaged software (this can be created lots of different ways)...
Never install a Desktop on a server at work. Fire the vendor for suggesting it. Ok, I know you can't fire them, but they SHOULD be fired for that suggestion. Install openbox and let them use...
For apache, https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/examples.html and https://www.howtogeek.com/devops/how-to-set-up-a-reverse-proxy-with-apache/
But I'd use nginx myself as the reverse proxy...
Great! This can be fun.
I've never used a control panel on a VPS after the OS install. From that point on, it is most common to remotely manage via ssh. If you aren't using ssh, you are doing...
please edit and wrap output in code-tags to retain indentation. Make it easier for someone to help you, if they can. Show the exact commands used - many people don't touch this stuff often enough to...
https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-back-up-and-restore-mysql-databases-with-mysqldump/ is all I know. Did you also restore the config files from the old system? When we backup, we need to ensure...
localhost? That seems like it wouldn't work. Every VM has a different idea about "localhost". 127.x.x.x/8 is localhost, by definition.
Since I've been running my own email servers 25+ yrs, I...
Do some research. It isn't something to be added after-the-fact. It needs to be chosen as part of the install - - - or better, customized pre-install, then tell the installer about your LVM layout...
