TIPS

1. To add a secondary red ip:

Networking > Interfaces > Enter Secondary Red IP address > Save

Credit goes directly to cenolan.com’s blog post – http://www.cenolan.com/2012/02/mass-email-migration-from-imap-to-google-apps-using-imapsync/

This method includes a text file containing the users source email address and password as well as the destination (Google) email address and password. Imapsync is the engine to transfer the email and there is a bash script to drive it.

*Allow each user to update their password once email is directed to Google
**Allow less secure apps to allow the transfer to work – http://support.google.com/a/answer/6260879?hl=en – turn off again once complete

Insert the following into a text file (update with live details):

user1@source.tld;user1sourcepassword;user1@destination.tld;user1destinationpassword
user2@source.tld;user2sourcepassword;user2@destination.tld;user2destinationpassword
user3@source.tld;user3sourcepassword;user3@destination.tld;user3destinationpassword

Add as many users as necessary. I found it helpful to add 10 users into a text file at a time to keep an eye on transfers.

Create the script:

This tutorial will make use of Amazon’s S3 (Storage) service and Amazon S3Tools (Linux Client). A bash script will be created to automate the backup of files to S3.

1. Sign into Amazon AWS Console

2. Create a new user for Amazon S3 (Identity and Access Management)

3. Click on the newly created username > Permissions > Attach Policy – AmazonS3FullAccess > Download the credentials

4. Install Amazon S3Tools on linux server:

apt-get update
apt-get install python-setuptools
cd home
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/s3tools/files/s3cmd/1.6.1/s3cmd-1.6.1.tar.gz
tar -xvf s3cmd-1.6.1.tar.gz
cd s3cmd-1.6.1
python setup.py install

Proxmox web interface became unavailable and was not listening on port 8006. Also unable to backup a running KVM. This all pointed towards a missing/corrupt package.

To fix, the following was carried out:

1. Update repositories

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Insert the relevant sources from here: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_repositories#Proxmox_VE_No-Subscription_Repository – In this case it was the no subscription for Proxmox VE 4.x repositories.

Now run the following commands:

apt-get update
apt-get install pve-manager

Pve-manager seemed to be corrupt. Updating to the latest version fixed the issue.
