Can't get crontab to run backup script properly - Lemmy.world

Hello everyone! I’m running a few different services off of my UbuntU VM on ProxMox, and they’ve all been running great for about 6 months now. However, I’m trying to setup some better backups and such of individual services, and I wrote bash script to do that for me and delete older backups once I accumulate enough. All of that works 100% fine. Like absolutely no issues with the script when I run it myself. However, I can not for the life of me get crontab to run it. If I run sudo ./folder/directory/backup.sh then everything runs perfectly. However, if I setup my crontab with 0 * * * * ./folder/directory/backup.sh I get absolutely nothing. I have also tried setting the crontab with sudo, sh, sudo sh, and both combinations without the dot in front of the path to the shell script. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? Thank you so much for any help

PFSense: Can't ping physical devices on network, but can ping virutal machines? - Lemmy.world

So, I am running ProxMox with PFSense virtualized on it, and I am having some issues with SSH and Ping access between my physical machines and the rest of the network. The two computers are running into an unmanaged switch before then connecting to the NIC port that is set as the LAN interface. As the diagram attached hopefully helps demonstrate. The only problems are running between the two physical devices, and from PFSense to the two physical devices. The physical devices can connect to the virtual devices, and they can connect to PFSense just fine via SSH and can ping PFSense, but PFSense can not ping back, and PFSense can not SSH into the physical devices. This whole mess is utterly confusing to me, to be honest. I still am very much a novice when it comes to PFSense as I only swapped to it about a month ago, but hopefully someone here will be able to help! Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide. I am sure that this post is a bit confusing, but hopefully I can clarify in the comments!

Just started R.A. Salvatore's Dark Elf trilogy. Absolutely love it! - Lemmy.world

While I’ve always been a big fan of fantasy, I’ve often stayed away from certain areas (like D&D books) as they can get waay too campy waaay too fast, but these books are just great! The pacing is great. Not too much world building, just enough action (both emotional and martial), and no over-the-top cringey material lol. Just an incredibly relateable story about “otherness” and finding your way in a world that can feel hostile to your ideas. It’s something many can relate to in 2023. I highly recommend for any D&D or general fantasy fans!
