Topic: Cant access my SME9 outside of my local network

I have only quote, for my first post, maybe because it is posted with a different IP?

There is no modify, for the first post.

You can modify a post within 7 days, after that it's fixed.

Also re server manager GUI access, you can securely create a ssh tunnel via port 443 (google it)
& then access server manager via
https://localhost/server-manager/
No need to open server manager remote access for a fixed IP address, so more secure with a ssh tunnel

Indeed, I didn't think about that!

Use public key authentication rather than password authentication.

Hi,

Thanks for all the support, but I am leaving the server in this way for another week, until I finish my degree... than I'm going to buy a machine-server and I am going to apply all your suggestions there.

Until than I wish a great week for all of you!

With all the Respect,
Orest,

Orest,

to make matters more complicated If you are going to buy a physical server, you might want to consider to first install Proxmox on there as the base OS, and deploy many virtual test/production SME Servers (and other server OS's).

You might want to make sure that the hardware has at least 2 NIC's and is compatible with the RH compatibility list. I hear HP micro servers are doing just fine. But search the forums and wiki.

Good way to try and learn without doing any harm

I wouldn't recommend that. I would recommend a dedicated physical server, and use other hardware for development/test/virtualization.

Interesting, Charlie.. would you like to elaborate it? i.e. why?
TIA

it's in italian, but I guess that google translator will help you
I'll ask my mate Nicola to translate it here..

KISS.

Running Proxmox and SME server and various other operating systems on a server is more complex and less reliable than running just SME server.  I want my server to be as reliable as possible. Being simpler to set up is also good.

Keeping the discussion about physical-virtual apart from this comment:
1) Microserver N54L & older N36/N40L (the black and cheapest ones):
- very good for Sme stand alone, tried with 7-8-9, ahci supported for 8-9;
- the only chance to use it as Hypervisor is Proxmox, not the native CD but in this way: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Wheezy (to have software Raid);
2) Microserver Gen8 (Grey and silver, more expensive but not so more):
- very good for Sme stand alone, tried 8-9, ahci mode supported;
- Hypervisor with Vmware Esxi 5.5u1: possible with native Raid with B120i integrated controller (it's an Intel chipset less fake than its predecessor) supported with the Hp-customized Vmware CD;
- Hypervisor with Proxmox: you can surely install in the way suggested above (1); never tried with native B120i Raid;
In both situations for entry-level hypervisors, Raid 1 is suggested for decent performances in a production environment.
For your personal experience Esxi gives you experience on a more popular product with large support, knowledge and applications (free and not) and support for veteran OSs (sometimes very important).
Anymore Proxmox is very good too: I presently use for my lab and for a few weeks has worked fine with a SME+Affa vm to replace a failed server.
