I am pretty sure rsyslog includes a RabitMQ plugin in v7 and for v6 there is a github plugin. Although I could be wrong.

RabbitMQ is an interesting peice of software, a while ago I investigated it as an alternative to RELP for the transport layer of our system. Unfortunately its got quite a high learning curve and was put on the 'later pile'. Thanks for the tutorial however, I am going to do a bit more...

Just to help out - BuyVM RamNode:  DigitalOcean: none

Any KVM/XEN (HVM) host can support BSD. If they don't have the ISO's just ask for them to be loaded.

external - zabbix (bulk checks) + uptimerobot (http resources) internal - zabbix + hopefully kibana soon

Good work Fran / Delta, When doing this for the sake of your customers flexibility (and sanity when debugging) either ensure your conntrack size is suitably large or disable connection tracking for these packets when enabling iptables for a KVM emulated network interface. Most people assume...

Cloud based MySQL is quite difficult. It really doesn't scale horizontally (MySQL Cluster != MySQL horizontally) making it difficult to host in the cloud. That combined with the standard Database issues regarding workload optimization make it quite difficult to achieve, at-least for big clients...

Please do, always looking for a critical eye and submissions before stable releases. I will be working on a stable release soon . Just testing a utility using the library currently. Hopefully within the next week - fortnight.

Static generation would definitely be an interesting solution. Either that or just heavy caching (its less heavy than Wordpress :P )

node.js should always be behind a reverse proxy such as nginx / lighttpd etc. Think of it like mod_php in terms of memory wastage. You would most likely need to make a fork of Ghost in order to scale reasonably with it. Think of starting with a modification that changes the source file path...

My project for the past month (during hobby time) has been the development of an Open Source .NET abstraction library for IPTables on Linux (although any *nix / BSD should be compatible). Its designed to replace a non Open Source library I developed years ago and used for a few utilities. Its...

Ergh I just finished writing part one of my spreadsheet. Currency conversion is a massive PITA. Although its a tie for the biggest pain with customer budget & expectations.

We see a payment almost every day with Bitcoin (and sometimes up to three). 5-10% compared to PayPal. They are quite often larger payments too.

I have run proxmox on all my dedi's used for web serving / mail / general purposes. Recently ive started moving away from it to DigitalOcean but that is not a reflection on Proxmox which is great software. I know I had some issues with IPv6 & OpenVZ. I am not sure if support has since been added.

Here is a version with the typo fixed as well as @sv01 inspired improvements. I have a V1.1 currently being developed with a primary and backup list of servers as well as possibly a few other features (including an optional configuration file for listing the servers). Although this only tests...

I saw the date wasn't aware of future plans. :)

Just thought I would raise a point in regards to this. Many of us (providers & members) dont use this forum to make a profit (or atleast its not our main motivation) and just want to converse and share knowledge. Ive always felt that a paid user class detracted from the overall quality of the...

Reduce or remove the posting delay for users with 100+ posts or Verified users. Or at-least move validation to the post complete page, I dont know if I am unique but I usually come here with multiple posts to make and a limited timeframe in which to do this (while including time to browse).

Does anyone have a nice template for building an init.d startup script for staring a daemon (including arguments) that runs in a detached screen instance (which can be inspected at a later date). I've been meaning to develop one myself but have not had the time. Requirements: start / stop /...

If you use your hosting company or datacenter provided DNS servers you have probably experienced your fair share of blips and outages of these services. Although some companies are quite good, some can be quite bad. Lots of programs seem to behave strangely when DNS servers listed in...
