Debian system as an internet security gateway

Hi list, I’ve got an embedded computer (Soekris Net6501) that I’d like to setup as a router / firewall system and small application server running Debian 7. As for the router part, I’m already familiar with most services I’ll need (DHCP + DNS server and iptables routing). This should provide me

Setting up push syncing with a Debian mirror

Hi all, I am currently running a Debian (Wheezy) server which is hosted in a professional datacenter. The datacenter is located in Germany, and is directly connected to major backbones. As I do have loads of unused bandwidth and disk space, I’d like to contribute to Debian’s infrastructure by

Re: Using the GPU on the Intel i7-477

Hi Darac, many thanks for your reply! According to https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing, the current BOINC should be able to detect and use your GPU just fine. Unfortunately, the website states that a connected monitor or VGA dummy plug is required for this to work… Since the server

Using the GPU on the Intel i7-477

Hi all, I’ve got a server running Debian 7.1 Wheezy which uses an Intel Haswell i7-477 processor. This processor should have an on-board GPU that I’d like to use - first for scientific calculations using BOINC, and later for automated video rendering possibly. However, I don’t think Debian

Getting Postfix to sort spam into different folders

Hi all, I've been running my own mail server for a while (Postfix as the MTA and Dovecot for retrieving mail via IMAP). Yesterday, I added amavis-new for content filtering, and so far have implemented spam checking using spamassassin and virus filtering using clamav. All this appears to be

Fail2ban and IPV6

Hi all, I'm setting up a new server with dual stack IPV4/IPV6 support. Unfortunately, I'm encountering issues with the Fail2ban daemon, since it looks as if IPV6 is still unsupported. The following gets logged whenever Fail2ban attempts to block an IPV6 address: 2013-09-14 22:38:45,867

Installing and booting Debian from large hard drives in a RAID without GPT

Hi list, I just purchased an HP ProLiant Micro Server G2020T. As for the hard drives, I installed 4 3TB Western Digital HDs. So far so good, but volumes with a capacity greater than 2TB require a GPT partition table. Unfortunately, the server does not support UEFI, and thus can't boot from GPT
