headless setup according to https://core-electronics.com.au/tutorials/raspberry-pi-zerow-headless-wifi-setup.html

unfortunately it does not work for me, there is no IP address assigned in router info page. Connect Pi Zero W with HDMI and USB keyboard. I don’t have mini-USB to USB converter, surprisingly the OTG converter works.

$ sudo vim.tiny /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

 

Since default locale is en_GB, the keyboard cannot type “|” in shell…… type $ sudo rasp-config  to re-config locale and $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-layout  , then $ sudo reboot

Infamous Seagate Barracuda 3TB hard disk suddenly dead. Due to physical/raw disk mapping, DSM on ESXi cannot do S.M.A.R.T. test and ESXi does not alert as well….

Anyway, this time forget about ESXi, just install DSM 6.1. Planning to use docker for other applications in future.

For information to install, follow 2 links below

Some additional notes:

VID:PID

instead of OSFMount(Windows), edit grub.cfg by linux vm.

HP MicroServer Gen8 has 2 NIC, so put to MAC addresses to grub.cfg as well

After installation completed, go to HP PS1810 switch webpage,
Trunks > Trunk Configuration
select “LCAP Active” and 2 ports for bonding

In DSM, control panel > networking > Network interface >
create “bond”, select IEEE 8022.3ad Dynamic link aggregation.

recently migrated wordpress to GCP, using cloud launcher – wordpress by bitnami.  That pretty easy, google other tutorials and follow it. e.g.

• https://console.cloud.google.com/launcher/details/bitnami-launchpad/wordpress
• http://www.compoundtheory.com/migrating-my-blog-to-google-cloud-platform/

 

Set up

here is some highlighted procedures

1. create compute engine via clound launcher

2. create cloud SQL
– db username and password

3. mysqldump old wordpress database

4. load into cloud SQL

5. change wordpress setting.
$ cd apps/wordpress/htdocs/

6. turn off mysql in bitnami image

7. turn off banner

8. setup static IP for compute engine instance & cloud SQL
in cloud SQL, allow CE’s IP

9. change DNS, point to GCP

Issues

outgoing email

a bit weird, quite trouble to setup mailjet https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/sending-mail/
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/sending-mail/using-mailjet

followed the instructions, yet those postfix setup, from fields is <username>@<hostname>, which MailJet will send a verification email to, and apparently it won’t be verified.
https://app.mailjet.com/account/sender

additional steps to modified the email address, so it passes the verification.

Then, setup wordpress plug-in
