Essential
| Git (git) |
# Setup git repo main directory
sudo useradd -s /usr/bin/git-shell -m git # User both for ssh: and git: protocol access (shell disabled)
sudo su -p git # Notice -p since shell is disabled
cd ~git
mkdir git # This directory will store all .git repo
mkdir .ssh
cat ... >> .ssh/authorized_keys # Add keys of user that can use the ssh: protocol
sudo apt-get install git-daemon-sysvinit
sudo vi /etc/default/git-daemon # Change user to 'git'
sudo /etc/init.d/git-daemon start # Start daemon
sudo su -p git # or sudo su -s /bin/bash git
cd ~git/git
git init --bare minecraft.git

We configure interface wlan0 to use WPA in roaming, and static ip address for network id home.[3]
File /etc/network/interfaces: auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual

iface home inet static
address 172.19.100.107
netmask 255.255.0.0
gateway 172.19.3.1

Bring up or down the interface with: sudo ifup wlan0
sudo ifdown wlan0
The following error messages can be ignored [4]: $ sudo ifup wlan0 ioctl[SIOCSIWAP]: Operation not permitted ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument |
To Do
Issues
- Issue — Frequently losing WiFi connection, without reconect.
- Workaround — Use a cron script to detect and force reconnect * * * * /usr/local/bin/testwifi.sh 2> /var/log/testwifi.log
- Crontab line, edited with
sudo crontab -e
*/2 * * * * /usr/local/bin/testwifi.sh > /var/log/testwifi.log 2>&1
- /usr/local/bin/testwifi.sh
#echo '/usr/local/bin/testwifi.sh log'
TESTIP=172.19.100.107
#ping -c4 ${TESTIP} > /dev/null
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | grep --quiet $TESTIP
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
logger -t $0 "WiFi seems down, restarting"
sudo /sbin/ifdown --force wlan0
sleep 10
sudo /sbin/ifup wlan0
else
#logger -t $0 "WiFi seems up."
true
fi
- Reduce syslog spam by filtering out cron log. Edit /etc/rsyslog.conf [5]
diff --git a/rsyslog.conf b/rsyslog.conf
