#scripts and miscellaneous
downloading scripts and executing them; example from DO
curl -sSL https://agent.digitalocean.com/install.sh | sh
ngrok notes; private http(s) tunnels
./ngrok http 80 wget https://[ngrok tunnel]/id_rsa.pub cat ~/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
query hosts on the lan
avahi-browse -tl _workstation._tcp
Debian print system configuration to stdout; use root
cat /proc/cpuinfo && lspci | grep -i vga && uname -a && lsb_release -a lsb_release -a lspci
Debian repo management
cd /etc/apt nano sources.lsit [main contrib non-free]
Uploading files to remote webservers with sftp
cd ~/Downloads sftp user@host.com:/path/to/sftp/directory/of/choice/ > put /path/to/file.txt
#Building From Source to Custom library Location
tar -xf <source_filename>
Navigate to the directory that tar unarchived the files to. Then, within that directory, execute:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local make sudo make install clean
#Cacti Server Notes
Installing snmpd to an embedded system and then installing cacti to a client to monitor the device. Additionally, this tutorial covers one way to monitor a client without an snmpd server running on the client machine (ping only). The embedded OS is openWRT on a Netgear WNDR.
ssh -p ###### root@nameofembeddedhost opkg update opkg install snmpd cd /etc/config nano snmpd
There are many customizations possible, but my colleagues recommend the minimum of changing the name of the public community to something indicative of the network purpose. Additionally, it is also adviseable to change three fields below that refer to the physical location, ip address, and the contact email for the system administrator in charge of managing the snmpd server.
#Private Git Server
