For several years, I was wondering how to make Mediawiki search case insensitive. I didn’t really had time to look at it until I was really fed up. That’s why after a few seconds of search, I’ve found an extension for Mediawiki which is working perfectly called TitleKey. The TitleKey extension provides a case-insensitive title prefix search. It uses a separate table for the keys, so if it works cleanly it can be deployed without an expensive rebuild of core tables, and dumped when Wikimedia gets a nicer backend through Extension:LuceneSearch (pre 1.

I’m using for my own servers LXC for about a year now. I’m still fed up about bugs introduced by the beta version of LXC (0.8b) present in Debian Wheezy. As now LXC project has released a stable version, I’ve looked at the Debian backports, but didn’t have any chance to find a newer version on it :-(. However, a version 1.0.4 exist on Debian Jessie. I took the Debian sources and recompiled them on Wheezy (available here).

I am using Nagios for about 8 years now for personal and professional usage. What I can say is, this is a super product, old and stable but not as scalable as I would like.

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.

I was using Gitweb for about 3 years now and wanted to have a more enhanced web version. I started to look at 3 solutions for my own needs. So my comparison is for my own usage with 2 or 3 friends at max and not for enterprise: GitHub: can make free public and paid private repositories. Sounds very good, the most powerful solution of the market in my opinion.
