Wednesday, 12 March 2014. Setting up Adobe Flash with Wine and Windows Firefox on Linux - all to get VMware vSphere working in a browser. So I decide today to do something about it, and make it easier. Here are the steps to get it working. 1) Install wine from your Distros repos - or download the latest from WineHQ. 2) If you are behind a proxy make sure you have http proxy set - if this doesn't work then use this util to set the proxy in Wine - Proxycfg.exe - links at bottom. Latest stable Windows versi...

Sunday, 31 August 2014. Using Docker to run rtorrent to reduce your servers resource requirements. Let me state early and clearly , any one who thinks Docker is a new technology, knows nothing about IT and even less about virtualisation. So if some smartalec in your office starts spouting about this new technology, take them down a peg or two with a few links to Solaris containers, OpenVZ or LXC. The host operating system was CentOS 6.5 - which I'm growing less fond of as each week passes, as in the ...

Cods Plaice: Problem loading/starting a KVM virtual machine on a CentOS 6.5 host that has SELINUX disabled
http://codsplaice.blogspot.com/2014/04/problem-loadingstarting-kvm-virtual.html
Wednesday, 30 April 2014. Problem loading/starting a KVM virtual machine on a CentOS 6.5 host that has SELINUX disabled. If you have recently built a KVM host for all your virtual machines and left SELINUX enabled, then all will be well, but what happens when you turn that setting off. Well you will end up with VM's that won't load with the error message. Error: Failed to start domain Ubuntu1404. Error: unsupported configuration: Unable to find security driver for label selinux. Some of my favorite sites.

Sunday, 15 April 2012. ESATA , Thunderbolt or USB3, that is the question? As with all things technological , when a standard comes to the end of it's life there will always be more than one way to move forward. So it is with the demise of USB2 and Firewire, which have basically come to the end of their usefulness, when you look at the size of the external disks we now have , and the size of the data that we wish to move around.

The Smoothwall Open Source Project was set up in 2000 to develop and maintain Smoothwall Express - a Free firewall that includes its own security-hardened GNU/Linux operating system and an easy-to-use web interface.

Friday, 3 April 2015. Little trick I found helpful programming the DigitalOcean v2 API - create a new droplet. While looking through several examples I found a few good links on how to create a new Virtual machine(VM) using the Ruby programming language, and the digital ocean gem they provide. They all however left off one important point out, that you have to specify the SSH key id number as part of the call to create a new VM. Not ideal ;-). Gem install droplet kit. Where $TOKEN is you oAuth API v2 key.

Tuesday, 9 April 2013. Using an External Node Classifier in a masterless configuration with Puppet. I use standalone puppet a lot for managing my own machines and cloud servers, but the site.pp file was starting to grow large and it became obvious the solution was to use an external node classifier or ENC. There is lots of documentation on the web on how to do this with a puppet master/ agent configuration, but nothing I could find on how to do this. The code you need looks like this:. As a long time com...
