mornin.
anyone around that uses tinydns?
does arp keep a local/private mirror of openbsd packages?
I doubt that
never heard of one
any trick to installing packages? pkg_add with $PKG_PATH -> No packages available in $PKG_PATH
read the OpenBSD ports/packages section in the FAQ on the OpenBSD website
it's very simple
i'm pretty comfortable with it
cool, install your stuff then :)
$ echo $PKG_PATH
http://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.7/packages/amd64/
$ sudo pkg_add python
No packages available in the PKG_PATH
Can't find python
try
pkg_add -iv
i did. no verbose
see if it gives output, I rmember this issue myself
trying to recall
yeh the FAQ is annoying on this one
mh
i can lynx(1) that url just fine
yeh
ergh
can't remember
:/
and ftp(1) it just fine (the http://)  changing to ftp:// it hangs
try
um
python-2.4.6p2
use the full name see if it does anything
no dice
oh wait
damn yeh I need to remember
with the full url, it works
yeh
lame
i guess i am spoiled running -current everywhere else
mh
nesta: fml. operator error. export $PKG_PATH vs export PKG_PATH
hehe mdmarco
you got it anyway?
yea. works fine now
awesome :)
awesome would be packages via nfs  heh
unmanaged vps is what you bought :P
do any companies provide that sort of thing?
true
what, packages over nfs?
yeh
i dunno. i do it at home
i like this vps tho. i'm pretty impressed
ah okay
awesome :)
they do rock
i got mine as a failsafe really
i have a shell on a friend's box, but i'm trying to prevent the situation i'm in right now where i can't get to my stuff at home
I've been pretty happy with them as well.  So far, no downtime except when I reboot for freebsd updates.
i more or less block all ipv4 in, but ipv6 to a certain machine is ok
but, aiccu doesn't like reboots i guess, so i can't get back in
so, once i get home, i'll setup an ipsec tunnel from home to the vps
Yeh
I'm also doing some VPNish stuff
OpenVPN.
My apartment's network is tunneled, and my parents' network is tunneled.
so if i can't get home, i can get to the vps, then go over the tunnel. the tunnel will be over ipv4. ipv4 at home works, but, i block it. oops
So I can access my parents stuff from home as if it's on my network and vice-versa.  Also I can access stuff on my network from the VPS as if it's local.
It's pretty neat to have those capabilities, eh?
i *really* want to get a little alix box at my parents and my in-laws and have that setup tunnels between all of us so we can share stuff super easily
need funding tho  ha
I'm using dd-wrt.
well, the VPS is the "concentrator"
or maybe an armish box if we can get this port of openbsd going
but dd-wrt's got openvpn built into its vpn edition
awyeah: how much traffic are you using every month for it?
Don't know yet, it hasn't been a month yet ;)
heh
You know you can have them give you access to their cacti bandwidth monitoring softwaer
so you can check on your traffic
i saw the link for that article but didn't click it
Just shoot an e-mail over to support@arpnetworks.com
Cause honestly, I don't think much traffic goes through the VPN stuff.
but, that was part of the question behind packages over nfs. to save bandwidth
Also, this machine hosts web and DNS.
Don't forget though.  Packages are usually fairly small and after the initial install, you won't be doing a lot.
i know. i was just curious  =)
yep
at home, i have a perl -e in cron that pulls the stems of installed packages, and downloads any updated packages for them
Ah
all of them go in one place, and i have $PKG_PATH pointing to nfs where they all are
makes sense
FreeBSD has a mechanism like that
I can do "portupgrade -a" and then just sit back and watch
obsd does too
oh, so you're just making it hard on yourself? :)
i guess. heh. it's just a matter of setting $PKG_CACHE
but, i'd still need a way to get the stems of installed packages off each box
everything at home is {amd64,i386}-current
but 3 boxes are old. the 2 alix and a little one running on a 256m flash
upgrading them is a hassle
yeh
well it's time for me to head home.  i'll be back on later.
am joking
woops
getting close to having openbsd booting on another armish device. not my work, but once this is going, i can help out hopefully
mother of god
ticket has been open 3 weeks
been back and forth with the dude about how to delegate rdns
fuck it, I'm tired, I'm just going to put in a ticket if I ever need to change it. This fucking guy.
(to be clear, not with arpnetworks. I was just complaining about this in here before)
