CloudLinux 7 issues with cPanel Updates

The Elflord
Yesterday was dominated by the fact that CloudLinux had released a bad iproutes package which was incompatible with the older kernels. They went through and fixed that one pretty quickly. However the new kernel is still broken (under Xen). Luckily the new iproute package (.cloudlinux.1) appears to have resolved it…

Personal Control Panel

The Elflord
I have been working on my own personal control panel for a while, integrating all sorts of random API, stats, and stuff - like a proper NOC except for home. One of the latest additions is the financial module, with Crypto Currency in it. Just got the status up and…

Homelab crazyness

The Elflord
Lookslike I've gotten overboard with a lot of hardware picked up for cheap. 3 x Dell 6248's for ~$50 - a bunch of RAM (ECC 16GB)x10. Got a couple of hexcores (X5650's) coming up to fill up the old school X8DTT (Supermicro) motherboards coming up. Been busy the last few…

puppet fun

Reinventing DevOps/SysAdmin (Intro)

The Elflord
The term "DevOps" have been thrown around for years. Initially just a fad (and still sort of is, as a "terminology"), it is pretty much summarized to me as System Administrator, with a lot of provisioning automation specialist stuff. The System Administrator (now "Systems Engineer") is mainly a maintainer role…

Fun with Netgear D7800 Routers

The Elflord
For a 'high end' Gaming Router that cost a mint, this model definately doesn't get the love it deserves from Netgear. Netgear used to be remotely reputable, compared to the corner-cutting Billions and the TP-Links. However these days, it feels like Netgear has joined the ranks of other sell-cheap brands.…
