ssh with out password

Are you boring with entering password every times logging in to linux via ssh? The followings are time saving and secure without storing user password in clear text.

HOST_SRC = Your system.
HOST_DEST = The system you want to login.

1. On HOST_SRC
-generating key (/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) when you are prompted to enter pass pharse just press enter.
$ssh-keygen -t rsa


-transfer id_rsa.pub to HOST_DEST use scp.
$scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub username@ip:/home/username/
(this will be the last time you enter password :) ) 


2. On HOST_DEST 

$ cat id_rsa.pub >>~/.ssh/authorized_keys
$ chmod 700 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Install nginx with php

Hey, Nginx gain popularity because it lightweight and scalability. Here I will provide a short how to set up nginx running php with php5-fpm(fastcgi process manager) in ubuntu 12.04

#apt-get install nginx php-fpm

Config file for php is at /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/
This you can control how php process run, tcp or unix socket


The config file for nginx to run php is you need the following configuration to location block :

        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;
                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }

memcached-tool

Memcached : memcached-tool display/manage memcached server information


memcached-tool  localhost -h
Usage: memcached-tool [mode]

       memcached-tool 10.0.0.5:11211 display    # shows slabs
       memcached-tool 10.0.0.5:11211            # same.  (default is display)
       memcached-tool 10.0.0.5:11211 stats      # shows general stats
       memcached-tool 10.0.0.5:11211 dump       # dumps keys and values
       memcached-tool 10.0.0.5:11211 move 7 9   # takes 1MB slab from class #7
                                                # to class #9.

You can only move slabs around on a server that supports 'slabs reassign'
messages and only once slab memory is totally allocated, and only
once the target class is full.  (So you can't move from #6 to #9 and #7
to #9 at the same itme, since you'd have to wait for #9 to fill from
the first reassigned page)

Installing virtual box guest addition on ubuntu server

#apt-get install dkms 
#apt-get install build-essential
#apt-get install linux-headers-'uname-r'

reboot

#cd /mnt
#mkdir cdrom 
#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
#cd /mnt/cdrom
#./VBoxLinuxAddition.run 

file system performance : drop caches

#hdparm -tT /dev/sda
#hdparm -I /dev/sda

create test file on the disk
#dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/file.img bs=8k count=256

measuring performance
#iotop -b -n 1 -o
#cat /proc/slabinfo

Before start new test, restart system or clear disk caches
#sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
#sync; echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

LiveCD software raid starting at md125

If you boot existing with live cd it may change the device name (/dev/mdx) starting from 125. This can prevent system from starting up normally.(/etc/fstab still use the old /dev/mdx name starting from md1). To rename software raid, stop and assemble it. :

This will rename md125 ... 127 to md1 ... md3 respectively

#mdadm --stop /dev/md125
#mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
#mdadm --stop /dev/md126
#mdadm --assemble /dev/md2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2
#mdadm --stop /dev/md127
#mdadm --assemble /dev/md3 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3
