If it’s a MacBook that no longer gets updates from Apple then it’s probably from around 2014ish, and is definitely an Intel Mac. This is a great candidate for Linux. If you want an environment that is similar to Mac, go with gnome as the desktop environment. Outside of that, any of the major distributions should be fine. I’ve run KDE Neon, Ubuntu, and am currently running fedora on a 2014 iMac and all of them worked without issue.
Man I miss basic.
Depending on the file it’s either dot notation or flat case.
I’ve got a raspberry pi 4 (8GB) running Kodi (via osmc) hooked up to our tv. The tv itself is a Roku tv that isn’t allowed to connect to the internet.
I’ve also got a pc that used to be my streaming/video editing rig back when I used to make videos, but I repurposed it as my server, and it runs Jellyfin, along with a host of other apps/services for me and my family.
The pc is older, but as a server it works great. Biggest drawback is power consumption, it’s not nearly as efficient as a mini pc with a n100 or something similar, but for my purposes it works great.
Awww. The poor pkcell!
Ubuntu LTS. Currently on 22.04.
Awesome! Just joined the test flight. Love the app icon.
I will! I’m happy with fedora so far, and right now I’ve been focusing on really learning bash and bash scripting. I’ve always been comfortable using the command line, but never really learned it beyond the most basic stuff, I’ve written a number of scripts now as part of this process and it’s been really fun and useful.
I’ve been generally happy with Ubuntu. I don’t really care for snaps, but on my headless server that’s not really an issue. I suppose I could have taken the time to uninstall snapd from the server, but I haven’t cared enough to do so.
I ran it on my desktop for quite awhile as well, but there the snap issue was much more present. I hate Firefox as a snap, and while I’m aware of the new Firefox ppa, I decided to switch to fedora since I’ve never used it and wanted to broaden my experience a bit more.
And yes, I’m aware of Red Hat/IBM’s shitty corporate bullshit too. Maybe one of these days I’ll use Arch btw.
Ah. I didn’t catch that it was the 3.10 kernel. But, as you say, still dated. I thought it was a bad idea, especially in new hardware.
Okay, please point me to the blog posts that helped you with collabora/onlyoffice. Thanks have NEVER been able to get that to work with my nextcloud (currently using the Docker AIO).
So, this took way longer than I thought it would, mostly because I needed the time to sit down and actually type this up.
Full credit, I followed the instructions in this video from Wolfgang’s Channel
Prerequisites (this is based on my setup, the api key requirement will vary based on your domain registrar/service):
I’m running NGINX Proxy Manager, using this docker-compose.yml
, which I got straight from the NGINX Proxy manager website.
version: '3.8'
services:
app:
image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- '80:80'
- '81:81'
- '443:443'
volumes:
- ./data:/data
- ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
I’ve got my domain managed by Cloudflare (yes, I know they’re evil, what company isn’t?), so these instructions will show setup using that, but NGINX Proxy Manager supports a whole bunch of domain services for the HTTP-01 challenge.
With all prerequisites in place, here are the steps:
Once you get a success message, you can start creating proxies with NGINX Proxy Manager for your internal domain. To do that you will need the ip address and port you are forwarding the domain to for your lan service. If you are using Docker containers, you’ll need the Docker ip, which you can get from the command line with:
ip addr show | grep docker0
You should get an ip address like 172.17.0.1
Otherwise you’ll just need the ip address of the machine you’re running the service on.
To set up a proxy redirect:
homepage.abcde.com
, then press enter to confirm the domainOnce the save is complete you should be able to input the new domain for you lan services and get a secure connection.*
*Bear in mind some services require you to specify a valid domain for the service within the config/settings. Double check any services you may be running for this if you plan to use a reverse proxy with them.
This is exactly how I have mine set up and I really like it.
I’ve got an internal and external domain with a wildcard cert so if it’s a local only service I can easily create a newservice.localurl.com, and if it’s external I can just as easily set up newservice.externalurl.com
Yeah. The primary election process is entirely a sham. We have no real choice in selecting the candidates.
For me, it was A Quiet Place. I found it incredibly dumb and impossible to believe that nobody on the whole of the planet ever considered that these aliens with ultra incredible hearing weren’t somehow vulnerable to noise? Just dumb as fuck, especially when you consider that sonic weapons already exist and are used, and sound is routinely used in torture/incarceration scenarios.
What are the ownership and permissions on those directories?
Awesome! Glad I could help.
At the terminal, go to the directory that contains the mount point for the disk (so if the mount point is /mnt/disk
go to /mnt
.
Run ls -l
. This should list everything in /mnt
with the owners and permissions. If your mount point (in this example disk
) is owned by user and group root
, then you just need to change ownership of the mount point and the disk attached.
With the disk attached, run sudo chown -R user:user disk
Replace each instance ofuser
with your system username (if you’re not sure what you’re username is run whoami
and it will tell you), and replace disk
with your mount point directory.
Here’s what this does:
sudo
: escalates your privileges to run the chown
commandchown
: the utility that allows you to change ownership of files and directories-R
: tells chown
to change ownership recursivelyuser:user
specifies the user and group that will own the files/directories you are modifying.disk
: specifies the file(s)/directories you want to change ownership for.You do need to be careful, but you can check for errors after editing /etc/fstab
by running the command sudo mount -a
. With the drive attached but not mounted. (Also good practice to use the UUID of the drive in the fstab entry)
That command runs through etc/fstab
and attempts to mount everything it is instructed to mount if it is not already mounted. And if there is an error it will let you know.
If you run sudo mount -a
and you get no output in the terminal, then there are no errors, your drive should now be mounted, and you should be fine for reboots and it should mount on startup as expected.
Found it. Thank you!
