Creating a read-only mirror of your SVN repository with SVK
Author: GSMD • Tags: debian, ubuntu • Comments: 0Creating a read-only mirror of your SVN repository with SVK Say, you've got an SVN for your OpenSource project and would like to mirror it to some remote location that hosts opensource projects (such as SourceForge.net or dev.java.net). I'll skip the phase of an account and project registration and assume you've already got your credentials and SVN repo url. I also assume you are on Debian or Ubuntu and your SVN is up and running under Apache httpd.

Run Your Own Webradio Station With Icecast2 And Ices2
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: other, debian, ubuntu • Comments: 25Run Your Own Webradio Station With Icecast2 And Ices2 This tutorial describes how to set up an audio streaming server with Icecast2. In order that Icecast2 can stream audio to listeners we install Ices2. Ices2 is a program that sends audio data to an Icecast2 server to broadcast to clients. Ices2 can either read audio data from disk (Ogg Vorbis files), or sample live audio from a sound card and encode it on the fly. In this article we will let Ices2 read .ogg files from the local hard disk.

Install and Configure Auth Shadow on Debian/Ubuntu
Author: Thanatos • Tags: apache, debian, linux, security, ubuntu • Comments: 3Install and Configure Auth Shadow on Debian/Ubuntu Auth Shadow or mod-auth-shadow is a module for apache (and apache2, sort of) that enables authentication against /etc/shadow. The benefits being that any system user with a password can be authenticated for web_dav, subversion or simply an https server. The only other way to do this is with PAM. That method is dangerous because the apache user (www-data in my case) must be able to read /etc/shadow. Obviously, not a good idea. Auth Shadow accomplishes this safely by using a intermediate program called validate. This works because validate can be owned by root but executable by everyone. In the event that your server is compromised through apache, your password file will not be readable.

Creating .deb-Packages With Checkinstall
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: linux, debian, ubuntu • Comments: 3Creating .deb-Packages With Checkinstall Checkinstall is a nice tool to create simple .deb-packages that you can use in your local network (e.g. if you have to install the same piece of software on multiple computers running Debian). It lets you compile and install software from the sources like before, but with the difference that you end up with a simple Debian package which also means that you can easily uninstall the software you just compiled by running dpkg -r!
