@DustinB3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
I'm looking at scale hardware, trying to come up with some plans to refresh the current infrastructure.
My ears were ringing. Let us know if we can help out in any way!
Will do once I have some detailed information
You know where to find me.

Hell must be freezing over.
Ha why?
You. Ditching Xen. Say it aint so!

Given a choice between the two during a hardware refresh, I'd go Scale all the way.

Maybe this is a... special circumstance.

That's my stance at the moment, there is a hodgepodge of equipment in place currently, and while I could certainly go out get hardware and install xs to it, I don't know if it's worth the overhead for this organization.

Plus im still evaluating my options, Scale has a compelling argument for the solution.

Well, let's be honest here. I wouldn't expect a bench tech to sit down and get 3 XenServer instances setup in a fail over cluster with a good web gui management interface on top, but I would expect a bench tech to be able to plug in a @scale cluster.

If you do, I need more.

@travisdh1 I just don't know if you're calling me a bench tech or not... lol

So I'd be calling myself a bench tech

Option 1: Keep trying to get my CSR (made using openssl) for my Dokuwiki test to have a subject alternative name, so Chrome will stop griping.
Option 2: Cease option 1, and figure out how to use Lets Encrypt to generate a cert for a non-public facing website.
Option 3: Forget about having my little Dokuwiki use SSL (since my original problem of AD credentials in the clear was solved by adding my private CA's root certificate to the Dokuwiki server's certificate store) -

I'd say Option 4:Don't worry about it.

@scottalanmiller @coliver Yeah, it'll be a wiki for IT documentation (and eventually other departments). It bothers me to give up on a task, but this seems to be eating more time than what seems acceptable for the scope of the project.

I don't consider this giving up. Out of curiosity why does Let's Encrypt not work in this instance?
-
@coliver I'm not sure whether it would work or not. Our internal domain is a subdomain of the domain we own. Since it's domain validated, I'd have to put something (likely a TXT record) in our public DNS, as it wouldn't make sense to have an A record for a host no one can reach. The other part would be installing and (probably) configuring certbot to get the job done.

You can also temporarily expose the site, not ideal, but you can.
