23 August 2014 in Books, Databases, Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, SQL

All, I’m proud to announce my first book available for pre-order! I’m really happy to have finished it and see after several months of hard work that it will be soon available. Who is this book for? MariaDB High Performance is aimed at system administrators/architects or DBAs who want to learn more about how to grow their current infrastructure to support larger traffic. Before beginning with this book, we expect you to be well–practised with MySQL/MariaDB for common usage.

Gogs: easily install on Debian Wheezy

21 August 2014 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, Web

I recently talked about Gogs and really like this solution. The main problem I encounter was the current stable version which may not be usable on Debian. Here is a quick solution to make it work. First of all, install git: apt-get install git Then you can download the latest compiled version directly from gobuild. wget http://gobuild.io/github.com/gogits/gogs/master/linux/amd64 -O output.zip unzip output.zip ./start.sh You can now access to port 3000. If you want to use it through a web server, here is my configuration with Nginx.

Ansible: Fluentd playbook

13 August 2014 in Ansible, Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, Web

In the previous posts, I’ve introduced my Ansible playbooks for kibana and Elasticsearch. You may now be happy to know that I’ve made an Ansible playbook for Fluentd as well. If you still don’t see what those tree ansible playbook can do when they are combined together, you’ll see in the next post :-)

Ansible: ElasticSearch playbook

9 August 2014 in Ansible, Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux

As I’m an Ansible fan, I’ve created a playbook for it available on GitHub and on the Ansible Galaxy. You’ll be able to add additional plugins like Head, Curator, Mavel… I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Dnsmasq and dhclient: use a specific DNS for a specific domain

7 August 2014 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, Red Hat

My use case is specific but not isolated. When I’m at work, I’m connected to my VPN at home. I have a specific DNS at home for my domain in deimos.lan and this is very useful to avoid me to remind all the IP of the services I have. Sometimes, I want to connect to a home service from the VPN, but my bookmarked links have my home DNS which are unknown from the DNS at work.

My new toy: Ubiquiti mPower

5 August 2014 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux

Ubiquiti brings software that are easy to install on Windows and Mac OS. However as it is strongly recommended to let this software always up, it’s preferable to have a Linux version to run it in a container or a virtual machine. That’s why I decided to install it for a powerstrip mPower on Debian inside LXC. The documentation is very poor, that’s why I made this one for those who want to do like me.

Seafile: can’t use client? Use webdav standard!

1 August 2014 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, Web

Seafile is a Google Drive replacement. If you missed m’y previous blog post on it, you can find it here. I really like Seafile even if a search feature is missing :-(. Seafile client is unfortunately not an available solution on all software proposing a cloud connection for sharing files. Hopefully an alternative exists using Webdav protocol. It is not activated by default on Seafile but can easily be enable. Here is how to do it.
