I am using thunderbird with Lighting calendar.Is there any way to sync thundirbird calendar with local network ?
I am not aware of a peer-to-peer sync provider for Lightning, but what you can do is set up a CalDAV server on some machine running on your local network. This machine must be always on, or at least on when the other machines are. A quick and easy to set up server is available at http://sabre.io/

So this is a classic question that I’ve seen many times before...
I’m trying to connect to my home network when not at home using a raspberry pi.
I’m well aware that the way to go with this is to use a vpn server such as OpenVPN.
However, in order to connect to the vpn I would need to forward a port on my router... which I can’t do.
I’ve found remote.it which allows remote connection to a computer (pi) without port forwarding.
What I would like to know is how would I set about using the 2 together, I.e. connecting to remote.it which in turn connects me to my vpn server?
I'm sorry to be finding this question just now, but in case it's still useful to you or to anyone else, here's what you need to do:
Install remote.it
Set-up a remote.it connection to use the protocol (TCP/UDP) and port required by the VPN application
Make a remote.it connection/adding the service to your network (remoteit - Desktop application UI terminology)
Use this connection info (URL/port or localhost:port) with the VPN client
Send an e-mail to support#remote.it if you need help
I would recommend ZeroTier(https://www.zerotier.com/). It haves its own linux client , and you can connect to as many networks as you would like.
You can also configure IP address from the website.
There is also an Android an IOS app that is really simple to connect.
The installation is in a holidays house (so no permanent internet access)
I have a 4g-Routerm (ROUTER-1 = huawei B525-b23) that enable the internet access. I switch it on one day a week.
I have another router (ROUTER-2 = GL-MT300N-V2).
ROUTER-2 is always plugged on electricity.
On ROUTER-2 is connected through ethernet port a Raspberry-Pi3 (with Home Assistant on it).
On ROUTER-2 is connected through WIFI a Camera IP
ROUTER-1 and ROUTER-2 are connected together through ethernet.
When ROUTER-1 is not plug to electricity, none have acces to internet, but it's not an issue.
The camera save picture on the Rapbery Pi3, the Home Assistat is recording some sensor data.
When I switch on the electricity on the ROUTER-1, everyone have access to internet.
What I want is to have remote Access to my router-2 and my Rasberry and my Camera when ROUTER-1 is online
How should I do ?
Hi I can think of two solutions for this setup but both involve buying a second hand cheap router.
I think the use of a single router would make this setup a lot easier. Any router would work that supports:a USB 4g Modem to be attached to it, and has support for setting up a openvpn server and you need to be OK with leaving the Internet on all the time just make sure you dont have any services running that use up bandwidth and you should be ok. You can can connect both raspberry pi and IP camera to that router. Setup Openvpn server open the UDP port required and download the certificates, You should be able to vpn into your network and manage it through SSH or something remotely.
The second option is tailored to you but still requires swapping the 4G Modem with another one that supports these things: Wake on LAN, openvpn server, supports ssh into it over LAN and either has 4G support through a sim card slot or a usb port with modem support.
You can then have it setup so this new Router-1 is switched off with wake on lan configured on it and the raspberry pi to send the magic packet. You can use something like this to get an idea of how WoL https://www.lifewire.com/wake-on-lan-4149800. You can use cron on your raspberry pi to send WoL signal to Router 1 once a week which would eventually give you internet access once the router is up. You have to setup a vpn server on it and forward the required port and download the certificates. When your scheduled WoL cron runs make sure you are able to connect through vpn then access network resources you wish, at the end when you are done you can ssh into the router-1 and turn it off.
I hope this helps. I had a look at the router models you are using and it doesnt leave you with many options. You can get cheap second hand routers online that support everything that is required.
As title say i'm looking for something like Pulseway.
Basically i need to monitor 3.000 devices. And i was wondering if there is something where i can install an agent on this devices and monitor/command them securely via a web panel.
Thanks for your time
You can try to use Monitis Server/Device monitoring. They have agent for both Linux and Windows systems. We are using it for checking our internal servers performance. BTW you can install agent in one machine and monitor other devices with your internal network using internal uptime monitoring. On one agent you can setup as many monitor as you need. here is more details http://www.monitis.com/server-monitoring
With my limited resources and to aid debugging, I am doing local testing on a client-server (game) application by running both a server and one or more clients all on my Windows 7 dev PC. Both client and server are Java applications developed through Eclipse.
Is there any easy way to introduce lag given that everything is running on the same PC... maybe 'hack' the port used or something? Or is this only possible if each application is running on a separate PC (or separate VM)?
Make a feature in the server which makes a random lag within certain time range if detected connection comes from localhost. You can then switch this feature on/off as needed.
Recently we got a new server at the office purely for testing purposes. It is set up so that we can access it from any computer.
However today our ip got blocked from one of our other sites saying that our ip has been suspected of having a virus that sends spam emails. we learned this from the cbl http://cbl.abuseat.org/
So of course we turned the server off to stop this. The problem is the server must be on to continue developing our application and to access the database that is installed on it. Our normal admin is on vacation and is unreachable, and the rest of us are idiots(me included) in this area.
We believe that the best solution is to remove it from connecting to the internet but still access it on the lan. If that is a valid solution how would this be done or is there a better way? say blocking specified ports or whatever.
I assume that this server is behind a router? You should be able to block WAN connections to the server on the router and still leave it open to accepting LAN connection. Or you could restrict the IPs that can connect to the server to the development machines on the network.
