Processing 10000 Pictures Using Many Computers With Oropo (Debian/Ubuntu)
Author: ms209495 • Tags: debian, other, ubuntu • Comments: 1Processing 10000 Pictures Using Many Computers With Oropo (Debian/Ubuntu) Have you ever had a lot of data to process ? In such a moment after a while of processing we realize that it will take ages to complete. It would be faster if we could use two or three or even more computers. Let's use some computers - you think it is a lot of configuration ? You are wrong. With Oropo it's easy. Let's discuss a problem of processing large number of pictures. First approach for solving this problem is to process pictures sequentially on one computer. Second approach is to process pictures parallelly on many computers.

Comments: 5 Creating Encrypted FTP Backups With duplicity And ftplicity On Debian Lenny When you rent a dedicated server nowadays, almost all providers give you FTP backup space for your server on one of the provider's backup systems. This tutorial shows how you can use duplicity and ftplicity to create encrypted (so that nobody with access to the backup server can read sensitive data in your backups) backups on the provider's remote backup server over FTP. ftplicity is a duplicity wrapper script that allows us to use duplicity without interaction (i.e., you do not have to type in any passwords).

How To Easily Migrate A PostgreSQL Server With Minimal Downtime
Author: dratone • Tags: other, debian • Comments: 5How To Easily Migrate A PostgreSQL Server With Minimal Downtime PostgreSQL is a great database server, but when your dataset is rather large, migrating a server by using pg_dump can be a rather long process.

To achieve this, we will be using the PostgreSQL built in features for PITR (Point in time recovery).

Comments: 1 Virtual Hosting With vsftpd And MySQL On Debian Lenny Vsftpd is one of the most secure and fastest FTP servers for Linux. Usually vsftpd is configured to work with system users. This document describes how to install a vsftpd server that uses virtual users from a MySQL database instead of real system users. This is much more performant and allows to have thousands of ftp users on a single machine.

Comments: 0 Build Your Own Video Community With Lighttpd And FlowPlayer (Debian Lenny) This article shows how you can build your own video community using lighttpd with its mod_flv_streaming module (for streaming .flv videos, the format used by most major video communities such as YouTube) and its mod_secdownload module (for preventing hotlinking of the videos) on Debian Lenny. I will use FlowPlayer as the video player, a free Flash video player with support for lighttpd's mod_flv_streaming module. I will also show how you can encode videos (.mp4 .mov .mpg .3gp .mpeg .wmv .avi) to the FLV format supported by Adobe Flash.

Server Monitoring With munin And monit On Debian Lenny
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: debian, monitoring •
Comments: 11 Server Monitoring With munin And monit On Debian Lenny In this article I will describe how you can monitor your Debian Lenny server with munin and monit. munin produces nifty little graphics about nearly every aspect of your server (load average, memory usage, CPU usage, MySQL throughput, eth0 traffic, etc.) without much configuration, whereas monit checks the availability of services like Apache, MySQL, Postfix and takes the appropriate action such as a restart if it finds a service is not behaving as expected. The combination of the two gives you full monitoring: graphics that lets you recognize current or upcoming problems (like "We need a bigger server soon, our load average is increasing rapidly."), and a watchdog that ensures the availability of the monitored services.
