They’re not really white knights about this though. They have no intention of FLOSS, but they do value OSS software.

The biggest issue is that since OEL pulls from upstream RHEL, and RedHat made Satellite, there was a gap in services offered because Oracle, and most other big companies, believe in eating their own dog food so if they have a service that they offer they will use it internally instead of using competitors.

With this step, they are closer to providing a more comprehensive environment like what Red Hat offers.

Still waiting for a Foreman replacement though.

Nothing is wrong with it, I am just waiting to see if Oracle will fork a version of that as well.

For anyone who thinks journald is shit, this is how you monitor a specific service via syslog in macOS:

sudo log stream --predicate '(process == "freshclam") || (process == "clamd")' --info

Ansible

At first, I thought Rancher was silly, but damn it, they’ve built some amazing tooling around docker.

If I’m not wrong, Suse have build his ‘Suse manager’ tool for patch and update on top of spacewalk.
An old colleague used that as a base to do managed deployment with a cobbler UI)

Ansible is not a viable alternative for Spacewalk. Ansible is great at configuration management, which was a component of Spacewalk. But I think Puppet would be better suited. And Chef, they had the monitoring for free. Well, it was included anyway lol.

If i’ll do:

zfs snapshot -R rpool@migration
zfs send rpool@migration > ./somefile

everything from rpool will be in that file, right? And then to just restore the data to a new pool after reinstall I’ll need to do

zfs receive rpool < ./somefile

and everything will be on the new host, right?

When it come to network i am kind of very bad …
I have a quick question of feasibility.
i rent a remote server with a public ip, and i have at home a connection which can’t bind port.

I would like to use that remote ip as the gateway and an input for my pfsense router at home, and without having a double nat (pfsense nating only)

What i have though about was to setup a ipsec bridged VPN server on the remote, and use pfsense as the client.

Would that work ? is it only possible ?
i fear ipsec, but openvpn will be to slow and wiregard is level3 :frowning:
