Configuration for dnsmasq, just the end of the file, with these lines added:

# disables dnsmasq reading any other files like /etc/resolv.conf for nameservers
no-resolv
# Interface to bind to
interface=wlxd0374547933f
# Specify starting_range,end_range,lease_time
dhcp-range=10.0.10.3,10.0.10.20,12h
# dns addresses to send to the clients

Apache 2.4 mod ldap authnz_ldap debian squeeze closed (connection lost)

It does not work out of the box.

You need to open and edit

/etc/ldap/ldap.conf

and add:

# TLS certificates (needed for GnuTLS)
TLS_CACERT /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Let me know if this helped.

Docker cheat-sheet

Docker is great for development, but also, it gives you the superpower of extremely small images to easily move around docker containers.

I need this for personal stuff, but I think it can be useful to others, so let’s share it.

Letsencrypt is broken on Debian Jessie

You need backports,

so first add the jessie-backports to your favourite apt source.list

# Backport
deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main

Then apt-get update, and then install back letsencrypt forcing the use of the backports:

apt-get install -t jessie-backports letsencrypt

That’s it,

Giuseppe

Installing and configuring Bareos (Bacula fork) with web front-end on Debian Wheezy.

And taking nice backups easy to be restored.

The story is quiet simple: some times ago I would have liked to have a kind of 8 months old backup for a friend of mine, but it was too late. So now, I want backups with a decent retention. So I can go “back in time” and recover files. Another choice could have been Subversion, but I’m going to backup images as well so, for this reason I’ll not take Subversion into consideration.

Debian, managing LVM on a live system.

Playing with LVM on Debian Weehzy.

Resizing or deleting  partitions, gaining space and then redistribute it across the partition you need to resize.

Basically the logical operations are pretty simple and straightforward if taken into a ‘logical’ vie. Of course you have to shrink the partition first and then the volume, while, at the opposite if you want to grow a partition you have to resize the volume in order to be able to contain the bigger partition.
