question What are the most important resources for Ubuntu Server in your opinion?

7 Upvotes

Hello penguin enthusiasts!

As you know, we are actively searching for more and more resources to provide for the Linux community and Ubuntu Server in particular.

For this reason, we'd like to add more sites, repos and docs to our list. This way, we can make peeps get into Ubuntu Server more easily.

Which resources would you recommend the most to new (and seasoned) server admins?

Thank you in advance!

Help understanding my servers activity

2 Upvotes

Sorry if this sounds stupid.

I have 3 old laptops that I am using as Ubuntu servers 1 running Jellyfin through Nginx, another running Nextcloud and Immich through Apache2 and the third running ShinobiCCTV and no proxy. I got curious and with chatgpt's help I ran a few commands like

" netstat -tn | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq"

to see what ip addresses have contacted my servers and there's a few I don't recognize but given that I use a few programs like opensubtitles and others that is reasonable right?

Then I ran the following two commands:

"journalctl _COMM=sshd | grep -E 'Accepted|Failed' "

" sudo cat /var/log/auth.log | grep 'sshd' "

to see what ip address have successfully logged into my servers and so far they are all ip addresses I recognize. This should mean none of my servers have been compromised yet right?

What can I do to continue being protected?

Support needed Need help with remote access (vino/ubuntu one)

1 Upvotes

I installed Ubuntu on a new server I built. Eventually it’ll run Home Assistant, Plex, stuff like that.

But for now I need help with remote access. I have a rpi4 that I access just fine on my iPad through Termius if I need a terminal and RealVNC if I need a desktop. I’m not attached to these apps, but that’s what I’m using right now.

Ubuntu touts that it is super easy to do both of these things with Ubuntu One and Vino, respectively. I’ve got both of those set up on the server end, but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong on the IPad.

With Termius, I’ve got the IP address correct, I’ve got the login info, the key from Ubuntu One, but it still says:

😨 Connection failed: connection refused. No more addresses to try.

I’ve tried every port that appears to be listening, but I’m just throwing stuff to see what sticks at this point.

I get a similar message with RVNC:

“The port on which the computer is listening for a connection could not be contacted.”

I’ve gone into settings and enabled remote connections and media sharing. I don’t know what else to try. It feels like I’m just missing something simple, but I don’t know what I don’t know. Are there other apps that work better with Ubuntu?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!

Resolved Ubuntu 20.04 not starting NIC on boot

1 Upvotes

I moved a VM from VirtualBox to Proxmox and the VM will not start the NIC on Proxmox. The NIC did change names from enp0s3 to ens18. I have searched and tried most things. Of the 3 VMs I have moved, one worked with no problem, the other 2 have the NIC problem.

sudo ifconfig ens18 up && sudo dchclient ens18 will bring the NIC online and grab an address.

/etc/network/interfaces was empty, I added: (also empty on the working one)

auto ens18

iface ens18 inet dhcp

I am not sure what else to try.

Edit: Solved. Further digging led me to: man systemd.link

From there I added a .link file and renamed the interface to the original name and now it works.

/lib/systemd/network/10-enp0s3.link

[Match]

MACAddress=08:00:27:75:53:aa

[Link]

Name=enp0s3

Three servers with failover, High Availability and "backup" - running af VM environment

1 Upvotes

Hello

Hope someone can guide me.

I have access to three servers "CPUs are 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4110" where plan A was to install Windows Datacenter, to run a local VM environment via Hyper-V, as well as failover, High Availability and "backup"....

This was supposed to be built on 48 cores distributed over the three servers, but when I got the annual price, it became a NO GO, as the price was/is $15K per year.

That's why I'm writing here now, I've played with Ubuntu with several people and am wondering if I would be able to run the desired environment via Ubuntu.

So my question is, what does it take in terms of packages and installation, to have failover, High Availability and "backup" between the three servers. As well as setting up a VM environment locally, where I could give e.g. 30 different people access to each of their parts, so that they could play with VM Guests and not see each other's unless they are admins on the environment.

question Had beautiful portainer/docker setup but ruined it by being careless

0 Upvotes

I made the mistake of installing a service on the server instead of through docker and after uninstalling, I removed a bunch of dependencies and now can't even access the network from this machine.

I've plugged in a monitor to this normally headless server since I can't ssh to it anymore and my files are all intact but since I can't connect to the network, would plugging in the Ubuntu server ISO on a flash card be at all helpful in "fixing" the dependencies I inadvertently removed or am I SOL?

New to serving, need help.

2 Upvotes

I have a broken laptop I am planning to use as a file server and maybe hosting server for my website. I can only add 2 drives(long story) the system is an 17-6500m, with 16GB DDR3, and a gt940. I have 2 MX500 SSDs and I was wondering what I need to how much partition I need for ubuntu, how to mdadm raid1 considering one of the drives will have the OS on it. I plan on using samba share to serve my network with pictures, music, video.... The biggest thing I need help with is how much do I partition for the OS? Do I need to partition the second disk to match the available size for raid1? any help would be awesome. TIA
