I recently needed to install a simple translation tool that helps on follow the translation activity of a project. Pootle answered my requests very well and that’s why I created a documentation to deploy it. It’s written in Python and use Django. Here is my Pootle tutorial.

LXC : how to convert a host/vm to a container

11 September 2013 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, LXC

As you can see, I write more and more posts on LXC. The latest thing I worked on, was how to convert a host/vm to a LXC container. I needed to write a script for it as I didn’t find what I needed. The script will remove unneeded elements in a Debian system, removing folders (dev,proc,sys), recreate devices and configure etc files. You can find more informations by following the link.

Awesome : autostart app on boot depending on connected screens

1 September 2013 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, Red Hat

Awesome is still my window manager and I still love it. With my laptop, I need to be able to quickly get my working environment when I power it on. The major problem I had was to avoid having the same opened windows at boot if I’m in the train, at work or at home. Of course there is no GPS in the laptop to detect my location, so I couldn’t set a rule for it.

Puppet: start to write your own module

30 August 2013 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, Puppet, Red Hat

I didn’t really play with Puppet since a long time and a lot of things have changed. I’m currently writing a Puppet module for MySecureShell. And the thing is, it’s hard to quickly find the relevant information on how to build a module from scratch. I like to have experience return and what a chance when I saw a tweet regarding it, the same day as I started to write the module :-)

LXC : Some little setbacks

28 August 2013 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, LXC

As I’m new to LXC, I am discovering how it works, see the maturity of the project and it’s integration in Debian. I’ve made a post a few weeks ago to introduce the basics and now I’m digging in advanced features. I’ve encountered several issues. Most of them are not critical but unfortunately looks like a lack of integration on Debian. The first one is related to wheezy template and I’ve already talked about it in a previous post.

Dotdeb : get the latest packages for your Debian stable

24 August 2013 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux

I recently discovered that repository that looks correctly maintained and often updated. I like this repository as it’s updated faster than the Debian one and you can have the latest version of some packages. Of course you can do package pinning if you only want one or a set of packages. You can access to the repository here : http://www.dotdeb.org/
