***: m0unds_ has joined #arpnetworks mnathani: whats a quick way to list domains using a specific DNS Server ant: mnathani: you can pay some company like http://reversens.domaintools.com/ (i don't want to endorse them in any way, just an example). or maybe you can get an account for https://www.dnsdb.info/ (dunno what reason they require for giving you access) ***: qbit has joined #arpnetworks

qbit has joined #arpnetworks brycec: mnathani: If the server supports AXFR and doesn't deny you (which they really, really should), you could probably pull its . zone ***: mus1cb0x has joined #arpnetworks mus1cb0x: i'm in the customer portal, on a VPS machine page. i select an iso for the cdrom, click change ISO, but the drop down remains blank
is that how it should be operating?
ah yea it's working. the iso is loaded the drop down just doesn't reflect that brycec: up_the_irons: ^ bug report? up_the_irons: it loads the ISO, but it doesn't save what your current ISO is brycec: up_the_irons: Just a thought... maybe "Load ISO" would be clearer than "Change ISO." The latter, I think, carries the connotation that the ISO is currently ___ and will become ___, wherease "load" is a one-time action.
Still not "perfect." I expect users to make the same mistake again. But maybe hopefully fewer... up_the_irons: tnx
that's a good idea mus1cb0x: i've made it on the last 2 VPSs i set up
they were just far enough apart in time that i forgot initially, then remembered and checked brycec: up_the_irons: Do you ever clear out old ISOs? eg There's no reason to have pfSense-2.1 ISOs when 2.1.2 is out, not to mention more ancient ISOs like debian-502 :p Or is space cheap enough that there's no reason to risk upsetting anyone wanting (for whatever odd reason) an old, unsupported ISO/version? up_the_irons: some people have asked for older versions mus1cb0x: i like the archive/library aspect of the iso list. i can see that being useful for testing
(for suckers that have to support legacy) up_the_irons: yep ***: pjs has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

(this particular work would not involve Rails though) mus1cb0x: i could do ios
apple ios, i mean
you mentioned front end is why i spoke up, not sure if it's relevant at all up_the_irons: I also need someone good with a Windows server for LDAP / Active Directory / etc... stuff
mus1cb0x: thanks, but this would be more plain web with parallax.js mus1cb0x: ah
completely unable to help there :) up_the_irons: no problem :) brycec: So... ARP isn't getting a fancy mobile app/interface? :P CaZe: Any news on the East Coast DC? ***: toddf has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)

VPS specs i have to work with are 512mb ram, 10GB disk milki: and...what is it going to be used for? mus1cb0x: light web serving, light web crawling, general ruby/rails web app dev
ty for showing interest in helping me milki milki: i would put more in / because ports go into /usr/local
and the ports tree is in /usr/ports mus1cb0x: funny you mention :) my latest map is: boot (512 KB), / (4 GB), swap (1 GB), /tmp (1 GB), /var (2 GB), /home (remainder)
cuts /home down to 2GB
i also bumped /var
i don't expect to use more than 500MB of /home at most -: milki shrugs. thats dependent on how you dev mus1cb0x: well /home aside, how do the others look? jpalmer: up_the_irons: what do you need with windows AD? milki: mus1cb0x: ive never used such a small boot, so i dunno about that mus1cb0x: 512KB?
or 4GB milki: 1gb swap is probably too much but tahts dependent on your apps
mus1cb0x: 512kb mus1cb0x: freebsd's boot partition limit is only slightly above that milki: i dont know how to do efficient boot partitions. but my /boot folder is 350mb atm

grepidemic has joined #arpnetworks mnathani: I don't even want to know if a right channel exists mus1cb0x: ^ up_the_irons: jpalmer: local company here uses a single Windows box as their AD server, DHCP, and file serving. Basically, when people with desktops login to their Macs, they authenticate against LDAP / AD. Anyway, that box is dying and needs to be rebuilt afresh.
mnathani: lol
+1
brycec: actually, lately i've been getting into mobile dev (phonegap / cordova, ionic, topcoat, etc...) and have been thinking about making some kind of mobile app / interface.
wasn't sure if i should make an API first that the mobile app talks to, or just let the mobile app authenticate with regular username/password of Portal.. but then in that case, i suppose, it still needs to talk to some backend... jpalmer: up_the_irons: are they building on another piece of hardware? are they updating the version of windows server?
up_the_irons: as for mobile app, generally an API is the first part. that way, you have a solid interface between the versions. then you write your android and ios app that consumes that interface.
(The nice part, is if you document the API, others can write homegrown utilities to do their common tasks.
up_the_irons: generally speaking, you'll install the second windows server, join the existing domain. dcpromo it so it's the second AD controller. transfer the FSMO roles from the old machine to the new. demote the old controller once functionality is confirmed. finally, if the version of windows has changed, you may want to raise the domain functional level. mnathani: jpalmer: ofcourse dcpromo no longer exists in the 2012 version
There might be some concerns if the Macs are using an IP address to contact the LDAP/ AD server rather than the DNS name jpalmer: right, thats why I said generally speaking. and modern macs are capable of using the standard SRV records from windows AD.. so I'd hope they aren't using IP :) up_the_irons: jpalmer: another piece of hardware, yes. Not sure about windows update. tnx for the executive summary. see, that is what i need to hire someone to do ;)
jpalmer: also, roger on the API. I'm going to start thinking about writing an ARP Networks API :) jpalmer: up_the_irons: is the windows server doing anything else? (web server, accounting software, etc etc.. lots of smaller companies use the windows server as an all in one machine) up_the_irons: not that i know of jpalmer: if it's *just* acting as an AD controller and related services, (dhcp, dns, certificate authority, etc) it probably won't be too bad, cost wise. up_the_irons: yeah jpalmer: alright, methinks it is bedtime.
