-Miscellanous Notes
-==================
-
-A collection of short notes on things I wish to remember. Many topics are heavily outdated.
-
-Backing up and Restoring Docker Volumes
----------------------------------------
-
- July 3, 2017
-
-One of my first questions, when starting my docker experience was
-how to backup and restore docker volumes.
-
-### On the source host
-
-First of all identify your volumes:
-
- $ docker ps
- $ docker inspect my_container_name | grep -C 1 -i Source
-
-Now you can backup the directory to a tar on your host machine:
-
- $ docker run –rm –volumes-from my_container_name -v $(pwd):/backup ubuntu tar cvf /backup/backup_db.tar /var/lib/mysql
-
-### On the target host
-
-In order to securely copy and restore the volume on the target host one can run:
-
- $ scp source_host:~/backup_db.tar .
- $ docker run –rm –volumes-frommy_container_name -v $(pwd):/backup ubuntu bash -c “cd /var/lib/mysql && tar xvf /backup/backup_db.tar –strip 1″
-
-A Growing Collection of Linux Command Line One-Liners
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-Please believe me... this collection was really supposed to grow over time...
-
-inside a direcotry show disk usage of all hidden files and directories and sort by size:
-
- $ du $(ls .* -d | tail -n +3) -hs |sort -h
-
-inside a direcotry show disk usage of all files and directories (also hidden) and sort by size.
-Exclude ./DATA file.
-
- $ du . -a -d 1 -h –exclude=’./DATA’ | sort -h
-
-Tar all files in current directory, excluding ./DATA and ./.cache
-
- $ tar –exclude=’./.cache’ –exclude=’./DATA’ -cvf home_miguel_20180216.tar .
-
-Find files in ./ARCHIVE NOT belonging to a specific user: miguel
-
- $ find ARCHIVE/ \! -user miguel
-
-set folder/ permissions to Read/Browse only for owner recursively
-
- $ sudo chmod -R u=r,g=,o= folder/
- $ chmod -R u=rX,g=,o= folder/
-
-find all mails from Boban when in the maildir full of mailboxes and print only short headers without bodies:
-
- $ grepmail -H -B -Y ‘(^TO:|^From:)’ Boban *
-
-not really a one-lier but will print 256 colors in a bash:
-
- for i in {0..255} ; do
- printf "\x1b[48;5;%sm%3d\e[0m " "$i" "$i"
- if (( i == 15 )) || (( i > 15 )) && (( (i-15) % 6 == 0 )); then
- printf "\n";
- fi
- done

-Inter Process Communication
----------------------------
- March 14, 2018
-
-We can attach nicely to same memory segment from 2 different processes:
-
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {.c .numberLines}
-// ipc via shared mem
-// attach to shared memory;
-key_t my_ftok = ftok("~/surf-webext-dom-shared-mem",'a');
-
-int mem_seg=shmget(my_ftok,1024*1024,IPC_CREAT|0660);
-if(mem_seg==-1)
-{
-g_print("shmget failed: %s\n",strerror(errno));
-}
-
-shared_buf=shmat(mem_seg,NULL,0);
-if(shared_buf==(void*)-1)
-{
-g_print("shmat failed: %s\n",strerror(errno));
-}
-g_print("attached to shared memory.\n");
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-SSL Certificate CSR
--------------------
-
- February 20, 2015
-
- for apache ssl mod
-
- first check your old csr if you like:
- $ openssl req -text -noout -verify -in CSR.csr
-
- 1. generate key
- $ openssl genrsa -des3 -out www.yourdomain-example.com.key 2048
-
- 2. create CSR
- $ openssl req -new -key www.yourdomain-example.com.key -out www.yourdomain-example.com.csr

-VNC
----
- April 2, 2015
-
-### Server:
- $ apt-get install tightvncserver
- $ xtightvncserver -geometry 1900×1100
- $ netstat -tap | grep vnc # remember port (e.g.5901)

-
-Owncloud Notes
---------------
-
-### Mounting Ownclouds DavFS
-
- April 15, 2015
-
- $ apt-get install davfs2
-
- * since owncloud seems to have problems with locks, edit /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf and set use_locks to 0 in order to allow creating files (as well as probably writing)
-
- $ mount -t davfs https://secure.sf.com/owncloud/remote.php/webdav /mnt/
-
-### rescan/rebuild ownlocud files database
-
- June 22, 2016
-
- inside ownlcoud directory run:
- sudo -u www-owncloud php console.php files:scan –all
-
-
-LXC
----
- April 28, 2015
-
- maybe worth a try:
-
- apt-get install lxc; lxc create ctname -t download — -d debian -r jessie
- -a amd64; lxc-start -d -n ctname, lxc-attach ctname
-
- similar tools: chroot/ debootsrap
-
-Add vim Lang
-------------
- May 14, 2015
-
- $ sudo apt-get install myspell-pl
- $ cd /ush/share/hunspell
- $ vim
- :mkspell pl pl_PL
-
-What every programmer should know about
----------------------------------------
- November 7, 2015
-
- Undefined behaviour: http://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-know.html
- Memory: http://lwn.net/Articles/250967/
- Floating point arithmetic: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html
-
-IDE Comparison
---------------
-
- December 7, 2015
-
-While I love working with vim (ctags, taglist, etc..) and the command line, it might be worth to have a look at the following IDE’s for Java and/or C++:
-
-* IntelliJ IDEA
-* Eclipse
-* Eclipse CDT
-* Codeblocks
-* Netbeans
-* Codelite
-* KDevelop
-
-Setup Postfix
--------------
-
-We want to handle different domains on a single postfix server and have virtual users along real unix users. For the virtual users we use uid/gid 5000.
-
-Relevant config files are:
-
- /etc/postfix/master.cf
- /etc/postfix/main.cf
- /etc/postfix/smtpd_sender_login_maps (tells which emails belong to which login)
- /etc/postfix/vmailbox (sepcifies our VIRTUAL mailboxes and the names of the spoolfiles)
- /etc/postfix/virtual (aliases for our local unix users)
- /etc/dovecot/users (specifies the logins, passwords, home directories,..)
- /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail (set inbox and mailbox dirs)
-
-Be careful about the permissions of the different folders, so uid/gid 5000, postfix and dovecot can access as relevant.
-
-A very nice tutorial on setting up postfixadmin can be found here:
-
- https://lelutin.ca/posts/installing_postfix_-_clamav_-_spamassassin_-_dovecot_-_postfixadmin_on_debian_squeeze/
-
-Windows Specific Notes
-----------------------
-
-### disable hiberfile.sys
-
- September 7, 2017
-
- run cmd.exe as administrator:
- powercfg.exe -h off
-
-### GTA4 on NVIDIA-GTX 980
-
- April 17, 2016
-
- Add following flags : -nomemrestrict -norestriction
- Otherwise video memory is not identified correctly.
-
-### Civilization 4 BTS Autosaves
-
- September 23, 2016
-
- In the file: C:\Users\miguel\Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\CivilizationIV
-
- Adjust:
-
- ; The maximum number of autosaves kept in the directory before being deleted.
- MaxAutoSaves = 100
-
- ; Specify the number of turns between autoSaves. 0 means no autosave.
- AutoSaveInterval = 1
-
