[OT] - remote assistance software
by Damiano Venturin
I'm sorry for the OT but I thought that some of you could spare me tons
of time.
Do you know any very good open source software for remote assistance
that runs on debian (my side) and windows > 7 (customer side). I need to
be able to control kbd and mouse and see customer's screen.
Depending on price I definitely consider paid versions and I would avoid
any cloud service (unless there is no other valid option) that I can not
control.
Time ago I used the google chrome extension but last time I used it gave
me troubles and, in any case, I would definitely go for something more
professional.
Thanks!

Issue with letsencrypt PKI renewal
by Damiano Venturin
Hello everyone,
I've this virtual machine called "nc" dedicated to Nextcloud (no other
service unrelated to Nextcloud installed) where I've got Letsencrypt
certificates generated by the PKI role (I'm not using the DNS challenge
in this case). I've built the vm from scratch with debops about 3 months
ago.
A few days ago Letsencrypt certificates were due to renewal but it
didn't happen.
I ran:
`debops service/pki -l nc`
but the certificates (already expired) did not renew.
I had to move /etc/pki/realm/<domain> and run again `debops service/pki
-l nc` to fix the issue.
Checking ansible logs I see:
TASK [cron : Generate crontab configuration file]
************************************************
ok: [nc]
These are the cron jobs:
root@nc:~# ls /etc/cron.hourly /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.weekly
/etc/cron.monthly /etc/cron.d
/etc/cron.d:
owncloud php pki-realm-scheduler
/etc/cron.daily:
apt-compat aptitude automysqlbackup bsdmainutils cracklib-runtime
dpkg etckeeper locate logrotate man-db ntp passwd
/etc/cron.hourly:
/etc/cron.monthly:
/etc/cron.weekly:
man-db
This is the content of `pki-realm-scheduler`:
#Ansible: Process PKI system realms
@weekly root test -x "/usr/local/lib/pki/pki-realm" &&
"/usr/local/lib/pki/pki-realm" schedule
Running by hand `/usr/local/lib/pki/pki-realm schedule` doesn't produce
any output.
This is my pki.yml:
---
# NC
pki_enabled: True
pki_acme: True
pki_acme_home_create: False
pki_realms:
- name: "cloud.{{ ansible_domain }}"
acme: True
#acme_ca: "le-staging-v2"
acme_ca: "le-live-v2" #for production
and this is the part of my owncloud.yml related to pki:
---
# NC
owncloud__deploy_state: "present"
owncloud__webserver: "nginx"
owncloud__variant: "nextcloud"
owncloud__release: "18"
owncloud__deploy_path_mode: "0755"
owncloud__data_path: "/mnt/data/nextcloud"
owncloud__admin_username: "admin"
owncloud__domain: "{{ ansible_domain }}"
owncloud__fqdn: "cloud.{{ ansible_domain }}"
Clearly, I expect the same issue to happen in about 90 days.
What's your take on this?
Thanks!
