NFS V4 with root
I followed this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo I set everything up as recommended. But I was unable to change the permissions. I was using sudo rsync -azv So, after a bit of googling I changed /etc/exports /export 192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) /export/backup 192.168.1.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) /export 192.168.1.0/24(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) /export/backup 192.168.1.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) The key was no_root_squash Then I could read and write as root.

A Static Route
I added a separate router – a WRT310n V2 to my ASUS Zenbook in the office. I run Android Studio over a VNC connection. I was having trouble reaching it from my wired connection which is connected to my main wireless router. I ended up setting a static route to the ASUS Zenbook from my
WordPress in a Docker Container
From the last post, it was necessary to pull the 5.7 tag instead of the latest because the latest was MySQL 8.0 had SSL enabled by default. MySQL 5.7 is more compatible with WordPress since it doesn’t have SSL enabled. It should not be accessible over the internet, so I change changed bind-address = 0.0.0.0

MySQL with Docker
First, I pulled the image ‘docker pull mysql’ that was the last easy thing I did. I wanted to use my own my.cnf file. So put it in /my/custom and used: ‘-v /my/custom:/etc/mysql’. I pulled a highly optimized one off github: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/rhtyd/d59078be4dc88123104e/raw/12d79310970e21604480c41d0c34813e6946be44/my.cnf I had to comment a lot out as many options are deprecated #datadir

Ubuntu 19.10
It’s just a few days away. Oct. 17th is the day. I’ll be running Lubuntu. That’s Ubuntu with a LXQt desktop. It’s super light-weight which is great for my MacBook Airs. They have 2GB of RAM, an I5 and a 64GB SSD. So Lubuntu is a good choice. I have installed the beta in a
Another New Wireless Router
I installed a new wireless router for this website. I bought it on e-Bay. It runs DD-WRT too like the old one except that it runs a more recent version. The newer version is not susceptable to the ‘heartbleed’ vulnerability like the old one was and is configured as a ‘repeater-bridge’ too. I was able
