so, i have a large number of electronic parts. spares from various projects, from bulk ebay buys. i ordered one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Trohestar-Nuberopa-N4-PDA-Wireless-Barcode-Scanner-1D-2-4G-Portable-Inventory/233754561711 with the intent to store the inventory info in a spreadsheet, ...

Could it be some weird security feature related to AppArmor, SELinux or a user authenticated NFSv4 mount? i did a temporary edit of /etc/passwd to allow user www-data (runs apache2, and owns the files on both the NFS server). then i did a "su" into user www-data, and was able to freely re...

bit of an issue setting up my webserver. i installed apache2 and php7, and setup the NFS mount. apache2 runs as UID 33, GID 33. the folder on my NFS share, on the server the folder containing the data also has the same UID/GID. yet when i try to view my website i get this: http://tjfhome.ddns.net/ i...

RAID on my Dell PE R710 is hardware, via a Dell PERC 6/i. so apparently Smartmontools won't work, it says my SAS drives don't support SMART. (just checked) my "off-site" backup server doesn't currently have the capacity to move the data from my main server so i can convert to RAID6, and i ...

travisfarmer

while my Dell that will be running the NFS file server may be a single point of failure, the OS is on two RAID1 drives, and the data is on four RAID5 drives. anything critical is mirrored off-site to a FreeNAS server i have is a secret location ;) (ok, so it is locked in an unattached garage. but &q...

it is just a personal website, so file access speed is not as important as say, an enterprise web server. i think my old website used to get maybe 5 - 10 hits a day, not including search engines. not sure a cluster is necessary, though i have never set one up, so i don't know much about them. ya mig...

the rack server i was using is a Dell PowerEdge R710. it ran my website (Apache, MariaDB, PHP), my email (Postfix, plus a POP3/IMAP server), and some other stuff that became less important, when it failed after an update (didn't miss them, so i guess i really didn't need them). the major issue with ...

If the traffic from the device is only going to the Pi and doesn't need to be routed anywhere else, then you don't need to do anything special. The Pi should use the WiFi router for internet connection and to access the local network, and will use the wired connection for the device. All you need i...

travisfarmer

ok, here is the basic scenario of what i want to do. i have a Rpi 3B+ connected to my WiFi in a remote connection. also at this location, i have a single ethernet only device that needs to be connected to the network. i can make a ethernet crossover cable. in thinking... the ethernet only device is ...

This summer I'm planning to install a solar powered Pi as a game camera at my camp in Eustis. Next winter should be interesting. Love it there too. let me know how it works out. i get deer feeding in my yard from time to time. a Pi game camera would be neat, if my WiFi reaches that far, that is. ( ...

I live in central Maine and have had 6 Pis deployed outside 365 (sometimes 366) days a year, for approx 3 winter seasons. All but one are Pi0Ws, in small Styrofoam boxes with a rectangular hole cut in the bottom, covered by a screen to keep out little heat seeking critters. The other Pi is a 4B4G t...

For the OP...doubt you're going to have a thermal problem with the Pi. You'll be out of spec, so not relying on a given board until you've tested it would be a really good idea. If you can position the Pi so it's on the house-facing side of the generator, it'll probably be a bit warmer than on the ...

travisfarmer

not a problem. i admire one to admit when they are wrong.

google says differently.

-40 is the crossover point with F and C.

just happened to think... this generator is supplied with a cold weather kit. it has a thermostatically controlled heat mat for the battery, and another wrapped around the oil filter to warm the oil. both are set to turn on at less than 40*F. the oil filter heater i like. as for the battery heater, ...

travisfarmer

that would work fine, if the generator ran constantly.

it is a standby generator.
though it may be possible to put the Rpi in an insulated box, and install a small low wattage light bulb for heat.

~Travis

travisfarmer

could be possible... i looked up the RS-232 specs, and if i use CAT-5 cable, i should be able to reach the house. the advantage being that i don't have to know the Baud rate of the generator Aux port, as the software auto-detects, where the XBEE does not. the Rpi will still have to be powered by the...

travisfarmer

ok, thank you. i will proceed with the project, and see what happens.
if worst comes to worst, i could try the XBEE option.

i have a 15KW Generac generator, and i will be attaching a Rpi 3B+ to it, running this project on it: https://github.com/jgyates/genmon but as i live in Maine, USA, temps have been known to get down to -40*, and colder. will the Rpi still function? if not, my next thought would be to use an XBEE S1,...

Found this thread, and thought it was literal, but was amused to find it was far from it. quite entertaining.

Hmm, guess not. oh well, thanks anyway for responding.

before my Win10 Laptop died, i used Eagle for all my schematic drawings. i tried the Linux version from Autodesk, but it would not run (file format error). i am currently downloading Fritzing, but i really prefer Eagle.

just setup NFS, tried it and your right, it is easier. Thanks!

What's running on 10.142.174.123? Does that NAS box support NFS shares, because NFS shares are much easier to use with Linux (as they support the full Linux permissions bits for owner, group and world stuff).

FreeNAS-11.2-U5

yes, it seems to support NFS, though i have never used NFS.
