I had a Windows machine that had a Vagrant setup on a different drive. When I replaced the Windows partition with Linux Mint, I wanted to have the other drive, already formatted as NTFS and containing my Vagrant workspace, mounted as /vagrant in the Linux machine. First, I found out the properties of the drive: sudo fdisk -l I found it was a device under /dev/sdb1 and formatted as type HPFS/NTFS/exFAT. Now to open the fstab file ...
Here be the books I’m attempting to get through this year. Most have been sitting in my book case forever. I was going for one a month, but decided to add a few more, since: I got to the last part of “The War on Science” nearly a year ago; have already read the first edition of “Wolfenstein 3D”; and have already started “Algorithms to Live By” and “The Disaster Artist”. ...
I had a need to run a PHP-capable web server on my Vagrant box to locally test some Javascript that queried a database via PHP, and then presented that via Google Charts. This Docker image suited that use case just fine. Replace as appropriate: sudo docker run --name web-server -p 127.0.0.1:80:80 -v /opt/mysql:/var/lib/mysql -v <full path to location you want as root>:/web -d osws/php-web-server ...
Here is how I install nodejs to get access to cool tools like “tldr” (a summarized version of the typical man pages) and “ungit” (an interface to Git to ease people into using it). Run these two commands to get nodejs: curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_9.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs then you can install ungit, tldr, whatever you want. sudo npm install -g tldr These commands work with Linux Mint 17 (or Ubuntu 14.04). ...
Liftoff! Up up and away! Returning twin boosters
The best way I found to do this was by running these two commands: git clone --mirror old-remote-url-ending-in-dot-git then move into the directory (ending in .git) that would be created, and run this command: git push --mirror new-remote-url-ending-in-dot-git All existing branches and tags would get pushed at one fell swoop.
A few times I’ve switched from the default private networking (NAT with port forwarding) to public networking (bridged) in the Vagrantfile. Â When switching *back* to private networking, I wasn’t able to SSH back into the machine (i.e, “vagrant up” will time out). Assuming you’re using a Linux Mint guest (or other Debian-based) OS, a fix for this is to open the /etc/network/interfaces file and remove anything in between the #VAGRANT BEGIN and #VAGRANT END section. Â Next, run vagrant reload from the host OS to reload the guest with the updated network interface configuration. ...
