Thoughts on Monitoring file changes with Linux over the network
Author: stefbon •
Tags: centos, debian, linux, networking, opensuse, shell, ubuntu •
Comments: 1 Monitoring a directory for changes with Linux is possible through the well-known mechanism inotify. With inotify it's possible to set a watch on a directory, configure it to watch events on the contents, and you'll receive messages on a file descriptor when something happens. This works perfectly when the directory is on local storage, like a hard drive, SSD or a USB drive, But it is not sufficient when the directory is on a network filesystem when the storage is on another computer. Another user working in the same directory, connected via the same or another filesystem, can remove a file and the watch you've set on it will not get notified.

How to use Docker in a practical way (part 1 - Introduction)
Author: Bill Toulas •
Tags: centos, debian, fedora, opensuse, suse, ubuntu, virtualization •
Comments: 7 It is not an uncommon situation, for early adopters of newly introduced concepts and technologies, to be totally confused when these can fundamentally change the ways of developing and delivering services. Especially when everybody talks about something like Docker, and how awesome and game changing it is. This confusion happens when we try things early on and rushing straight to testing them without grasping the whole concept and background of this newly introduced technology.

How to install and configure vsftpd with TLS on Debian 8 (Jessie)
Author: Till Brehm •
Tags: debian, ftp, security •
Comments: 8 This article explains how to set up a TLS enabled vsftpd server on a Debian 8 server. FTP is a very insecure protocol by default because all passwords and all data are transferred in clear text. By using TLS, the whole communication can be encrypted, thus making FTP much more secure.

How to Encrypt your Data with EncFS on Debian 8 (Jessie)
Author: Till Brehm •
Tags: debian, security •
Comments: 4 EncFS provides an encrypted filesystem in user-space. It runs without any special permissions and uses the FUSE library and Linux kernel module to provide the filesystem interface. It is a pass-through filesystem, not an encrypted block device, which means it is created on top of an existing filesystem. This tutorial shows how you can use EncFS on Debian Jessie to encrypt your data.

How to use custom commands in LibreOffice
Author: Bill Toulas •
Tags: centos, debian, desktop, linux, opensuse, suse, ubuntu •
Comments: 2 LibreOffice is one of the most important pieces of free software, allowing many of us to work, study, and share information. Although the software features many tools and capabilities, the spectrum of possible uses for each and everyone out there is so wide, that it is simply impossible to cover every special need with hotkeys and shortcuts. However, LibreOffice can be set to support user-created commands that can essentially help us increase our productivity.

How to convert packages between .deb and .rpm
Author: Bill Toulas •
Tags: debian, fedora, linux, opensuse, suse, ubuntu •
Comments: 3 Unfortunately, and after years of development in every part of the free software that we enjoy, there are still two primary types of software package available in GNU/Linux systems. The one is the .deb type which is used by Debian and Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu, Mint, and Elementary, and the other is the .rpm type which is used by Fedora, openSUSE, Mageia, and CentOS. Fortunately, there's a workaround for this as we can try to transform the one type to the other.

How To Get LTS updates for Debian 6 (Squeeze)
Author: Till Brehm •
Tags: debian, linux, security •
Comments: 3 Debian Squeeze (6.0) is the so named "Old Stable" branch of Debian, the official support for this version ended in april 2014. Squeze is still used on many servers, so a group of Debian developers decided to provide security patches for a longer timespan for this release. These so called LTS updates (LTS = Long Term Support) are not available on the normal Debian update repository and not every user might be aware that he wont get these updates automatically. The following short guide explains how to enable the LTS repository and install the updates.

Advanced Audio Control on Linux
Author: Bill Toulas •
Tags: centos, debian, desktop, linux, opensuse, suse, ubuntu •
Comments: 10 Linux audio control is as messed up as the Linux audio system structure. The default and only option of setting the volume level may be enough for the majority of users out there, but it certainly isn't the best when you want to set specific audio levels, or define individual settings for different audio sources, etc. Here is a post on a selection of utilities that could help you get the sound you want on your Linux system.
