Thanks for reporting back. Every time I looked at it’s features, I came to roughly the same conclusions. Glad you actually did the work to try it, though.

Looks cool. Adding to my linkding. Thanks!

it didn’t occur at all how strange that would be

Haha. Thanks for the laugh.

He’s peeing into a bottle.

This release has such bangers. Was so excited to read it in my RSS feed today & comment here.

• IPv6 segment routing (SRv6) support
• BGP monitoring (BMP) suppor
• Firewall flowtable offload functionality

And the ultimate biggie: The long-awaited ability to rollback configuration without having to reboot is finally here (T5249).

Thanks so much to the VyOS team for an awesome RC.

Okay.

Yet another reason to love VyOS

Yep, mainly because it’s targetting DC/SP operators, rather than just the home

This is somehow worse than “five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of text from the other four”

You just hurt Huawei & Arista’s feelings. /s

Cool project. Saving it for future reference, once I get a better handle on Rust.

Another vote for LibreNMS. I’ve been using it for a long time and it’s just great for most small - relatively large orgs (you have to work a bit harder to deploy it properly / distributed, if you’re going for a larger build).

I’ve also had Zabbix data piped into grafana and that was rock solid… I just find that Zabbix requires quite a bit more finessing to get going, if you’re not a seasoned sysadmin.

Sorry, I commented then went to Europe for 3 weeks; Browsing detox.

Symmetric NAT wouldn’t be an issue for Nebula at all – or WireGuard, as you know, but neither ZeroTier.

If you’re worried about CGNAT, it has several ways to deal with it:

The lighthouse can also act as a bastion/proxy and handle the connections for you, if your two nodes can’t speak directly.

That being said… if you’re supporting other users, I think wireguard is the way to go.

I’ve been using Nebula for a long time. It’s great and definitely worth your time to setup.

Pretty good suggestions here. Can’t remember the last time I saw such quality replies on r/networking .

Great job, everyone. Hoping this community becomes a lot more engaged & less superficial than the r/networking one.

Very dumb move by IBM Redhat

Jeff Geerling’s take was good:

For sure! I recommend you get back to it. The price is a steal, if travel costs is not a big factor for you (I had to fly across the continent but I bundled in a getaway/vacation with my wife).

Upcoming events are San Diego & Charlotte. I’m thinking of presenting at Charlotte. I’ll definitely be at the Toronto NANOG in Oct 2024.
