Yeah, I was typing that on the phone… thanks for the link:

As the node runs as the root user in order to run plugins as any needed user, it now only listens on localhost as a security measure. You have to edit munin-node.conf in order to listen to the network, and add the master’s IP on the authorized list.

So, I guess the best approach is to just run it inside a management network / internal VPN to avoid exposing the port to the internet.

Looks cool, what about security? Since you’re experienced with it, how does it access the information of the nodes and how secure or insecure that may be? At the end of the day I don’t want to open a port on all nodes just to have it be used as root access to those machines…

Looks cool, but well the Linux app ecosystem and the inability to standardize anything and/or have simple binaries. I really don’t get the people that go for Linux for privacy/preservation/not-dependent-constantly-on-the-internet and then everything is a repository hosted somewhere that’s hard to archive or crazy container-like formats.

Because Europe, but as you can see the OpenWrt One makes no sense when the BPI-Wifi5 is half the price and the R3 is a 35€ more expensive but has multiple ethernet posts, SFP and a ton of other IO. In fact even for the US market I don’t see the price of the OpenWrt One making any sense, because the others are cheaper over there as well.

I have no complaints about their QC but well, samples are samples.

Or… a decent Openwrt router like the Banana Pi BPI-R3. I believe the only argument for those kinds of devices is the Wifi support but I don’t believe the price and specs on the device shared by the OP are reasonable at all. If you don’t need Wifi, then yes, a good SBC and a cheap switch will be a much better alternative.

It didn’t. The article and the marketing around the device is all bs. https://wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-R3

Yeah would be way more smart to do the opposite.

Check this out, the router from the link for someone in Europe:

Now the other ones:

I guess you get the point, all Openwrt routers and the last one is much much better in all ways.

This device specs vs price aren’t appropriate in any way. There’s no point paying 100€ for something that only has 2 Ethernet ports, doesn’t have modern WiFi and only 1GB of RAM and an older CPU.

Besides the whole title and movement is a but misleading because the guys from Banana Pi shipped multiple boards already that are built for OpenWrt and have things like WiFi 6 in that price point. One of them is the “Banana Pi BPI-Wifi6 Router” for 60€ and more expensive the Banana Pi R3 that that just makes a lot more sense.

I feel you bro.

KISS

Debian is KISS. Grab it and use, no need to overcomplicate things.

Sorry here’s a better tutorial. I might write one, it is interesting that they all suck in different ways.

The folder is defined by the “root” directive. Like with any other nginx setup.

Cam be anything you want, just have to install nginx and configure it: https://medium.com/learn-or-die/build-a-webdav-server-with-nginx-8660a7a7311

Systemd does a lot of stuff I guess it is easier to just lean based on what comes up / you need. There isn’t a single path.

It could be an amazing change that results in much more progress for hardware acceleration on guests of various types (since that is what vmware is good at) in kvm…

Yeah but VMware was good. And I’m not seeing Broadcom investing into porting the “proprietary goodness” of VMware into KVM. I just see then looking at KVM and saying “that’s good enough” and seeing it a cost reduction measure.

I’ve questions about this.

People are talking about it like it is the greatest thing ever, however, isn’t this yet another result of the Broadcom acquisition? After firing a bunch of people , now this. Maybe they just don’t want to maintain the “existing proprietary virtualization code” so they’re moving to KVM. Less costs, less people.

Like what?
