I had registered the domain DevOps-SysAdm.in↗ with the intention of creating a second Jekyll based site which was going to be a link dump for stuff. Instead I decided to use Tumblr↗ as that seemed alot less hassle. So go on, head over & follow↗ . Also, you can submit stuff↗
Since I have been playing with Docker for the past few weeks I have had more servers on-line. I don’t have a static IP address at home so while I have a jump host setup I found I was still being port scanned and brute forced. I only caught a sniff of it in the logs while looking at another problem, even though password authentication is disabled and I only use keys I decided install Fail2Ban↗ to start blocking people, just in-case....
Been listening to some old albums this past week, some I haven’t heard for years, such as …. Jellyfish — Bellybutton↗ The Wannadies — Be a Girl↗ Spacehog — Resident Alien↗ https://embed.spotify.com/?uri=spotify:album:6vOmA5zWeFeKvuRBxaO59↗ …. think I will revisit some more this week.
Since my last post about Docker I have been playing a lot more, rather than use a GUI like Shipyard↗ I decided to use @garethr’s excellent Puppet Module↗ to manage and deploy my containers. This allowed me to take a better look at the builds I had over at the Docker Index↗ . The following is a list of builds I have deployed so far ….. General Containers Base↗ — Base build for use with other Docker build Jump Host- Build which can be used as a SSH jump host Database Containers MySQL 5....
Been playing with Docker↗ again this weekend, this time rather than just doing for the sake of doing it I went for something a little more stable. I started off by creating a new DigitalOcean↗ droplet with the latest CentOS installed to run as a base. I then installed docker using the Docker Puppet Module↗ . So now I had Docker installed now what? I looked at some PaaS services, a bulk of them require Ubuntu (which I simply don’t do on servers), however Shipyard↗ looked good....
As part of work I have to install Magento with its sample data a lot for proof of concepts, while the installation is simple it can quickly become a chore. Because of this I have started to use n98-magerun↗ . It can be installed using the following commands; Quick Magento Installation 1/2 curl -o n98-magerun.phar https://raw.github.com/netz98/n98-magerun/master/n98-magerun.phar chmod +x ./n98-magerun.phar cp ./n98-magerun.phar /usr/local/bin/ n98-magerun.phar self-update Once installed you can do clean installation by running the following command where you would like Magento to be installed;...
I have been playing my Digital Ocean↗ server a lot recently. Breaking it, fixing it and then rebuilding it, while I had documented my puppet installation it was getting to be a pain to copy and paste with each rebuild, so I pulled together a few scripts↗ from various sources to make the rebuilds a little less of a chore. To install fresh Puppet Master all I need to do now is run the following command;...
Been playing a little with Docker↗ this afternoon, while its something I have been aware for a while its not something I have really looked into. As I prefer working with CentOS rather than Ubuntu its taken me a while to get the motivation to do any more than some reading, however as the latest version now runs on RHE compatible Docker 1/4 yum install http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm yum -y install docker-io service docker start chkconfig docker on Once the services are installed pull down some images to test with;...
