Kasm Setup and Basics This post is to go over something that I heard about recently called Kasm. This program allows you to host docker container as desktop environments remotely over a web browser for any number of users. I will be going over installation and basic usage. Requirements Everything in this section comes from the Kasm Documentation. Server Requirements 2 CPU Cores 4 GB of RAM 50 GB of Storage preferably SSD Client Requirements Chrome 49+ Edge 14+ Firefox 48+ Internet Explorer 11 Safari 11+ Server Installation Download Install Download the install from here.

Over my Christmas break I found many cloud providers were offering free trials or free $100 towards the first two months of usage. I always wanted to get into trying a setup in the cloud so this post will be about my dive into cloud for the first time at home. I take no responsibility for costs associated with testing this out. Project Description The goal is to have a way to setup an environment to teach python online.

One thing I started doing was carrying a USB drive on my keychain. One issue I thought of is what happens if I lose my keys? Anyone who picks it up could read all of the info I keep on it. Here is a guide to fix that by encrypting the USB drive. Downloads First we need to download VeraCrypt for the OS you are using. I will be downloading VeraCrypt for Ubuntu, Mac OS, and Windows.

Over Christmas I received a Thetis u2f key. I had some issues setting it up and will document the process here. Install Packages First step is to install the necessary pam packages. sudo apt update && apt install libpam-u2f Udev Rules For Thetis we need to setup some udev rules. I found this referenced on their support page here under “Does it support Ubuntu”. You will need to reboot after setting those rules up.

Recently I found out about a service called ngrok that allows you to connect to your home server using public access points. The cool thing here is that you can specify certain ports. With ngrok setup correctly you can reach your server services from anywhere. In this tutorial I will be using SSH. If you do use this guide, please make sure to secure the port you are exposing to the open internet.

Recently my Ubuntu Desktop has been unable to wake after a suspend. Here is my current OS version and hardware information. Perhaps you are in the same situation. The following output is created using the inxi -F command.

Terraform workspaces are a great way to manage different environments for the same application. For testing changes we will be using this with Bookstack and its associated database in docker. All of the terraform in this tutorial can be found here. Setup Workspaces can be created using the command terraform workspace new name_of_new_env. We will be using the workspace names dev, and prod. Create Development Workspace Create a new directory for this test and run the following.

Introduction Buildkite works very similarly to Github actions. I recently was introduced to Buildkite and wanted to write an introduction to it. Here is a page outlining some differences between Buildkite and Github actions: https://buildkite.com/compare/github-actions The website can be found here. Accounts are free and you can setup your own agent for builds with it. I will outline two methods for defining a pipeline. The first will be the UI way from the website, and the next will be in YAML.

A problem I’ve had recently was that my WiFi adapter for my PC stopped turning on. I wasn’t able to get a new one, but I did have a Raspberry Pi collecting dust. This is when I started trying to use the Raspberry Pi 3B+ to connect to WiFi and NAT internet through the ethernet port. It was entirely possible to do and this is the walkthrough. DHCP Server Setup The first step is to setup a DHCP server to give an IP address to whatever you plug-in to it.

Recently I installed Windows 11 to a second NVME in my system. By default I boot into grub and wanted an easy way to swap to windows without pressing keys. I found this to be the easiest solution with only two steps. Updating Grub The first step is to run a search for OS on your machine. sudo os-probe Then run update-grub to update the grub menu with what was found.
