• Cisco switch backup/restore?

  A decade ago I worked for a shop that needed to routinely back up 100+ cisco switches and routers and refused to pay for solarwinds. I setup a light weight freebsd vm to run this open source software: https://shrubbery.net/rancid/ (Rancid: Really Awesome New Cisco config Differ) and set it to scrape all the equipment every 12 errors.

• Version control for network configs

  Anyways Rancid does support cvs, svn, and git. Though I have only used it with cvs. Basically what it does, is checks out the configuration, downloads the configuration with other information about the state of the device, commits the configurations(which only changed ones will be in the latest check-ins, and then it can send an email of the changes.

• Management Software for Cisco Devices?

  RANCID - Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ monitors a router's (or more generally a device's) configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc) and uses CVS (Concurrent Version System), Subversion or Git to maintain history of changes. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What all are you doing with Ansible?

  If you want to use this as an opportunity to learn Ansible, or you don't want to add another tool to the stack, this is a fine use case. Otherwise, I would consider using either RANCID or Oxidized for configuration backup. Source: about 2 years ago

• Starting with python at 30

  Before I knew about RANCiD (https://shrubbery.net/rancid), I wrote my own Perl application to telnet into a Foundry Networks switch and TFTP its configuration to my computer so I could back it up. At a future employer, I rewrote another coworkers Perl application that collected SNMP values from devices and did stuff with it (forget what all I did then). Source: over 2 years ago

• Whats the best alternative to cpanel?

  Hello. So I am looking into a VPS and it costs an additional $10/ for cpanel. I looked at some free options and zPanel and "control web panel" (https://control-webpanel.com/) seem to look like good free options. What do you think? Could I get some suggestions? I am also concerned with the ease of adding SSL certificates. Source: about 1 year ago

• What are your self hosted apps you're using for your business?

  CWP - this ran on centOS, it wanted some weird configs, didn't like it. There's a lot to configure with it. It may be better for some users though. Source: over 1 year ago

• Which panel between HestiaCP, Control Web Panel, Cloud Panel and ISPConfig?

  Sure, can do. I mean, DIRECTLY from their description (directly from their website):. Source: over 1 year ago

• What according to u is Easy Linux distribution for hosting sites?

  If you aren't in this to learn a lot, you may want to also consider a web hosting control panel like cPanel (not free), DirectAdmin(not free), webmin + virtualmin (free for multiple sites, virtualmin Pro is not free), Centos webpanel (not FOSS but free for non-Pro), Hestia control panel (FOSS), Plesk Obsidian (not free).

• New in hetzner servers - Configuration help

  With CentOS you could use CWP https://control-webpanel.com/ (that is a kind of cPanel). Source: over 1 year ago
