Yeah that's kinda where I'm coming down too. They both also do IPv6 Multicast which I'll use briefly later on when I start setting up the Nutanix CE section of the build but I mean...they look so similar I may as well save the $45.

 

Hey everyone,

I'm back with another question. I'm looking at switches and have it narrowed down to two options:

Cisco Catalyst 1200-24T-4X

Cisco Business CBS220-24T-4X

I'm going to have a Netgate as my main router in the house but I am also going to have a dev environment that I don't necessarily want interacting with my regular network. Originally I was thinking of just getting an unmanaged switch but I might like having some light VLAN capabilities of a managed switch that I can have the option of using.

I don't have any use right now for PoE devices so I don't need the switch to do that. I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what the differences are between the CBS model and the Catalyst model.

It's a difference of about $45. As far as I can tell, the main benefit to the Catalyst is Cisco's Cloud dashboard. I don't need or want that. I'll handle everything through a VPN connection back to the house and honestly, I don't see myself needing to interface with the switch much after I get it set up. If the cloud dashboard is the only difference then I'll just save the $45 and get the CBS model.

But I wanted to ask you all if there's something else I'm missing that might make the Catalyst a better choice?

Thanks!--

Yeah for sure. I used to build much larger servers for my job so I'm trying to design for the future. I know I have some checkboxes that I need to hit now but I want to make sure there's room for growth/change.

Oh hey this is great! And FOSS which I always appreciate. Thanks!

 

Hey all,

I'm looking to build a small half rack server set in my house and was wondering if there were any tools that let me build out a solution? I'm worried I'm going to forget something and just wanted it all listed out as I think of things.

Yeah I can probably build it out and keep track of it in Obsidian or Excel or something, I was just curious if there were server builder tools like there are PC builder tools?

I mainly want to make sure I get a rack big enough for the few pieces I want to put in it as well as I want to try to calculate the power draw and BTU output which I imagine will be pretty minimal. I just would like hard numbers to know for sure.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I'm deploying an Amazon EC2 instance of RHEL and attempting to install MongoDB via yum.

Following the guide provided by MongoDB, if I place only the repo file for either mongodb 7 or 8, the install fails. If I place both repo files, it still fails.

If only 7's repo file is present, it fails with 7's GPG key.

MongoDB Repository                                                                      434  B/s | 1.6 kB     00:03

If only 8's repo file is present, it fails with libssl and libcrypto errors:

Excerpt:

[...]
 - cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - nothing provides libcrypto.so.1.1()(64bit) needed by mongodb-org-server-8.0.0-1.el8.x86_64 from mongodb-org-8.0
  - nothing provides libcrypto.so.1.1(OPENSSL_1_1_0)(64bit) needed by mongodb-org-server-8.0.0-1.el8.x86_64 from mongodb-org-8.0
[...]

If both 7 and 8's repo file is present, it fails on 7's GPG key again.

I've tried manually importing both 7 and 8's GPG keys with:

rpm --import "https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-8.0.asc"

and

rpm --import "https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-7.0.asc"

The 8 import seems to work but the 7 import fails.

The thing is, last week, I successfully installed MongoDB on RHEL 9 using these exact same steps. I'm just doing it again now to capture documentation for work and it's failing.

So my questions are: What the hell?

Seriously though, what can I do to fix this? Is this a problem with MongoDB? Do they need to update their keys?

Thanks
