# Linux Knowledgebase
The Linux Knowledge-Base provides quick-start guides for working with terminal programs.
This is a list of quickstart guides for Linux programs, designed to get the user up and running as fast as possible.
If you like this style of short articles with a miniature database, then join me in my quest to remove the nausea of poorly-written documentation.
# Setup
Install `make`, `recutils`, and any fuzzy-finder (i.e. `sk`, `fzy`, or `fzf`).
## Usage
Set up the database and try a few queries:
```sh
make
make database
recsel db.rec -m 3
recsel db.rec -q database
recsel db.rec -e "title = 'ssh'"
recsel db.rec -e "title ~ 'ssh'"
recsel db.rec -e "title ~ 'bash'" -R title,wordcount
recsel db.rec -t guide -j provides -G title \
-e "title = 'ssh'" \
-p 'sum(provides_wordcount)'
```
# Style
## Praxis Only
## No History, No Context
We leave theory alone as much as possible.
The documentation should be of the form 'if you want *X*, type *Y*'.
- Nobody cares about how the project started.
- Nobody wants to read what `ffmpeg` is, because anyone who wants to use it already knows what it is.
We don't need to explain what a program does - anyone looking up 'how to X', already knows what they want to do.
We don't even need to explain which program to use - if someone wants to combine an mp4 and webm video into a single video file, they only care about that result, not about learning `ffmpeg`.
## State Knowledge Dependencies
Any interest in these tools only comes after we can use them.
Articles should state what you need to understand in order to read them *at the start*.
They should not assume the reader knows much beyond common terminal commands, and should not provide a link to some other resource half-way through an article.
## Chronological
People should be able to read an article from the beginning, then keep going until the end, and then stop.
Articles should not take a detour through a chain of other articles of unknown size.
Entries should read like scripts - everything in the right order, with small notes on what this does.
[Do not Jaquays documentation](https://splint.rs/posts/no_links)
The chronology should never branch.
If `gitea` can use three different types of database, the documentation should simply pick one and continue instructions from there.
Repetition works better than a reference - if a database requires three commands to set up, it's better to repeat those three commands for every program that requires a database than to just link to another file which discusses databases.
## Be Opinionated
## Three Input Types
- Guides should not ask the reader to select options half-way through.
- Options for different filesystems, databases, et c., should be written as separate guides.
There are three types of examples:
## Repetition Beats Reference
Fixed input:
If a database requires three commands to set up, it's better to repeat those three commands for every program that requires a database than to just link to another file which discusses databases.
> ls
## Show Arguments as Variables
Arbitrary Input shows the non-fixed input in italics:
Look at this line:
> ls *myFile.txt*
Output shows as unformatted text:
```
LK img
Mail kn
Projects music
```sh
grep ls --color=always $HISTFILE | less -R
```
# Example
What else can go in place of `always`?
Can you say `--color=red`?
Can you put anything?
The answer is not obvious.
```
How to see which websites you're actively accessing:
> ss -tr dst :443
What about this line:
```sh
git branch new
git checkout new
```
# What's wrong with everything else?
Do you always use `new`?
Can you use another word here?
The answer is not obvious.
It's better to make all arbitrary values variables.
```sh
git branch $branch_name
git checkout $branch_name
PAGER='less -R'
grep ls --color=always $HISTFILE | $PAGER
```
Now we can see what can be changed.
## Assume People Follow the Instructions
Articles should say what to type, not the output.
If the command is `ls`, users will see files once they try the command, but the article does not need to provide an example list of files unless an important point has to be made about output.

Doing the same thing, but only in February, would be:

`0 15 * 2 7`
### Full Paths
### Variables
`cronie` doesn't know where you live, so to put something in your `$HOME` directory, you have to tell it:
Executing something requires the full path to where it is, so you cannot simply use `apt update -y`, because cron does not know where `apt` is.
Instead, find out where it is:
```bash
type -P apt
echo "HOME=$HOME" > $filename
crontab -l >> $filename
crontab $filename
```
`/usr/bin/apt`
`cronie` doesn't know where anything lives, including programs.
You can give it your usual `$PATH` variable like this:
Then put that into the crontab:
```bash
sudo crontab -e
echo $PATH > $filename
crontab -l >> $filename
crontab $filename
```
> 40 */3 * * * /usr/bin/apt update -y
Now instead of doing this
This will run `apt update -y` as root every 3 hours, at 40 minutes past the hour, e.g. 00:40, 03:40, 06:40.
`40 */3 * * * /usr/bin/du -sh $HOME/* | sort -h > $HOME/sum.txt`
## Directories
You can simply do this:
`40 */3 * * * du -sh $HOME/* | sort -h > $HOME/sum.txt`
## Run as Root
You can execute a script as root by putting it into a directory, instead of in the tab.
Look at the available cron directories:
```bash
ls /etc/cron.\*
ls -d /etc/cron.*
```
Make a script which runs daily:
```bash
f=apt_update.sh
echo '#!/bin/bash' > $f
echo 'apt update --yes' >> $f
chmod +x $f
sudo mv $f /etc/cron.daily/

## Tips
### Variables
Add your `$HOME` to crontab to use scripts.
First add `HOME=/home/user`, then you can use syntax like this:
0 * * * * $HOME/.scripts/myScript.sh
*Remember to test the script by executing that line first*:
```bash
$HOME/.scripts/myScript.sh
```
You can also add your regular path to your crontab as a variable (see example below).
If you're using vim as the editor, just run this at the top of your crontab:
```bash
:r!echo PATH=$PATH
```
# Troubleshooting
### `date` Commands
Cron doesn't understand the `%` sign, so if you want to use `date +%R`, then it should be escaped with a backslash: `date +\%R`.
### File Location
The crontab files are in `/var/spool/cron/`, so you can backup or restore them.
# Example
```
HOME=/home/user
PATH=/usr/condabin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/home/user/.local/bin:/home/user/.scripts/:/home/user/.local/bin:/home/user/.scripts/

A hard link is one file which exists in multiple locations.
Each file has an ID, which is kept on the hard disk's partition.
Each hard link has the same ID, because they are the same file.
This ID is called the 'inode'.
Create a file, and a hard link:
```bash
fortune > $file_1
mkdir -p x/y/z/
ln $file_1 x/y/z/$file_2
```
Have a long look at the file with the `-l` flag, and check the inode with `-i`:
```bash
ls -li $file_1 x/y/z/$file_2
```
Since they are the same file, you can make a change to one, and it changes both:
```bash
fortune | tee x/y/z/$file_2
cat $file_1
cat x/y/z/$file_2
```
# Danger Zone
- hard links will not work on directories, only standard files and fifos.
- `git` will destroy and remake files, so it will not respect hard links.
- Files cannot have a hard link on another disk partition, because the inode is stored on each partition.

This & That
===========
Refer to 'that last thing', and 'the first thing':
```bash
fortune -l > file1
cat !$ | tr -d u
diff !^ !$
```
**NB:** this can go wrong:
```bash
ls -l file1 file2
cat !^
```
Done
----
`<C-d>`
- If you have a command, Control + d will execute the command.
- If you have nothing, `exit`.
Input Run-Commands (`~/.inputrc`)
=================================
Alias Expansion
---------------
```bash
echo '"\C- ": shell-expand-line' >> ~/.inputrc
exec bash
```
Now you can expand all aliases with 'Control + Space'.
Try just `ls`, then 'Control + Space'.
Glob Expansion (`*`)
--------------------
```bash
echo '"\C-x": glob-expand-word' >> ~/.inputrc
exec bash
ls *<C-x>
```
- Are you sure you want to delete that?
* `rm -r *<C-x>`
- Clean up the Downloads folder:
* `rm Downloads/*pdf<C-x>`
Arbitrary Commands
------------------
Use `\n` as a 'newline' character to automatically press `<Return>`.
```bash
echo 'Control-y: "| lolcat\n"' >> ~/.inputrc
exec bash
ls<C-y>
```
```bash
Control-l: "\C-u clear -x && ls\n"
exec bash
cd /etc/<C-l>
```
Readline as Vi
--------------
```bash
echo 'set editing-mode vi' >> ~/.inputrc
echo 'set keymap vi-insert' >> ~/.inputrc
exec bash
```
The prompt now works according to `vi`-motions.
This goes much further than the bash-option, `set -o vi` ('set option: `vi`').
It changes the cursor in the terminal, not just bash.
Try:
- `ls <C-n>`
- `ls <C-p>`
- Type some words.
- `<Esc>0dw$p`
- <Esc> to normal-mode, and go back with 'b', and forward with 'e'.
- `4b` to step back four times.
- `cE`
- `<Esc>kcw`
- ls -a<Esc>xxxx
Works with `python` too:
```python
im<C-n>os<Return>
os.li<C-n><Return>
<Esc>kfn
<C-d>
```
Fix Globs!
----------
If you tried the previous commands then they will not work any more, because the `vi`-commands overwrite the other commands.
Remove them.
```bash
sed '/ vi/d' ~/.inputrc
sed -i '/ vi/d' ~/.inputrc
sed '1 i set editing-mode vi' .inputrc
sed -i '1 i set editing-mode vi' ~/.inputrc
sed -i '2 i set keymap vi-insert' ~/.inputrc
```
Vi-sibility
-----------
The `readline` prompt becomes confusing if you don't remember if you're in insert or normal mode.
But you can show the current mode in the prompt:
```bash
echo 'set show-mode-in-prompt on' >> ~/.inputrc
exec bash
```
Set new symbols for normal and insert mode:
```bash
echo 'set vi-ins-mode-string " "' >> ~/.inputrc
echo 'set vi-cmd-mode-string " "' >> ~/.inputrc
```
Fuzzy Sort
==========
Check your repos for `sk-im`, and install.
The program is called `sk`.
```bash
FUZZY=sk
```
If you don't have it, `fzy` or `fzf` should work the same way.
```bash
FUZZY=fzy
```
Find some 'read-config' files to check out:
```bash
find . -maxdepth 2 -name "*rc"
find . -maxdepth 2 -name "*rc" | $FUZZY
```
And read some:
```bash
PAGER='less -R'
$PAGER "$(find . -maxdepth 2 -name "*rc" | $FUZZY)"
```
Make the change long-term:
```bash
alias rrc='$PAGER "$(find . -maxdepth 2 -name "*rc" | sk)"'
alias | grep rrc= >> ~/.bash_aliases
```

tags: [ "basics", "links" ]

A soft link is a file which says how to go to another file.
When a program encounters a soft link, it will make a guess at whether it should ignore it, or try to get to that file.
To make a soft link to a file in the current directory, linking is easy:
```bash
fortune > $file_1
ln -s $file_1 $link_1
```
Now imagine your directory looks like this:
```
dir_0/
├── dir_1
│   └── file_1
├── dir_2
│   └── file_1
├── file_1
└── link_1
```
Inside `dir_1`, making a soft link to `dir_0/file_1` would mean putting the directions to that file:
```bash
cd dir_1
ln -s ../file_1 link_1
```
The real content of the file is just '`../file_1`, so making it from another directory would mean writing exactly the same address to that file:
```bash
ln -s ../file_1 dir_2/link_2
```
Both symlinks are identical, except for the name.
```
dir_0/
├── dir_1
│   ├── file_1
│   └── link_1 <-- This one points to ../file_1
├── dir_2
│   ├── file_1
│   └── link_2 <-- This one points to ../file_1 as well.
└── file_2
```
Since it's just an address, you can delete the original file, then make another.
```bash
rm file_1
ls -l dir_1/
fortune > file_1
cat dir_2/link_2
fortune | tee -a file_1
cat dir_1/link_1
```
Last, let's make a link from `dir_2/link_2` to `dir_1/file_1` (this will delete the old link):
```bash
ln -s -f ../dir_1/file_1 dir_2/link_2
cat dir_2/link_2
```

# The Best Linux Program: `yes`
The program `yes` prints the word `yes` to your terminal until you cancel it, perhaps with 'Control + c'.
Or technically it prints `yes\n`, meaning `yes` and then a new line (like pressing the Return key).
This is extremely powerful.
If you ever want to automatically install something which persistently nags you with `do you want to do the thing? [y/N]?`, then you can just pipe `yes` into that program, and it will answer 'yes' to all questions.
```bash
yes | $INSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE.sh
```
This works best for disposable systems, like VMs or containers.
Try this on a live system, and you might find out that you should have read that message fully.
```bash
yes | yay

Check out the sample hooks:
```bash
cd $GIT_REPO
ls .git/hooks
head .git/hooks/pre-commit.sample
```
Add a hook to check the shell scripts in `$GIT_REPO` before making a commit:
```bash
echo '#!/bin/sh
shellcheck *.sh' > .git/hooks/commit-msg
chmod u+x .git/hooks/commit-msg
```
## Committing
Your `git hooks` will not enter the repository, but you can commit them to a repository, then request others add these git hooks to their own branch, by putting a note in the project's `README.md`.
```markdown
The project comes with recommended git hooks.
You can activate the hooks with `git config core.hooksPath hooks`.

## Pulling a Subtree from an existing git
The project has subdirectories `sub-1`, `sub-2`, `sub-3`.
The first should be its own repository, but should also retain its own history.
First, we extract its history as an independent item, and make that into a seprate branch.
```bash
git subtree split --prefix=sub-1 -b sub
```
If you want something a few directories deep, you can use `--prefix=sub-1/dir-2/dir-3
Then go and create a new git somewhere else:
```bash
cd ..;mkdir sub-1;cd sub-1;git init --bare
```
Then go back to your initial git repo, and do the following:
git push ../subtest sub:master
Finally, you can clone this repo from your original.
```bash
git clone ../subtest
```

# Swapping Keys
This system relies on a ring of people swapping key information.
## Sending
Send those trusted keys up to a server, so people can see you have verified them:
```bash
gpg --send-keys 024C6B1C84449BD1CB4DF7A152295D2377F4D70F
```
## Upload Your Keys
## Add More Key Servers
Key servers often swap keys, but it's best to just send to multiple places immediately.
You can add key servers by adding this to `~/.gnupg/gpg.conf`.
```
keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org
keyserver hkps://mail-api.proton.me
keyserver hkps://keys.mailvelope.com
```
# Refresh Keys
Refreshing keys will tell you if some key you have contains a signature from someone you already trust, or if someone has published a revocation certificate (meaning their key should not be trusted any more).
```bash
gpg --refresh-keys
```
You can use the [crontab](../../basics/cron.md) to refresh keys, but this will mostly fail, since keyservers often don't hold the right data.
# Export
Your public key:
```bash
gpg --output me.gpg --armor --export
```
Alternatively:
```bash
gpg --export -a person@email.tld > my_key.pub
```

It's probably in your package manager.

Check before you start:
- you have a normally running site on nginx already.
- your server has the directory `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/` enabled in the nginx config.
## Installation and Service
Install `radicale` through your package manager (not `pip`).
The standard `radicale` package should come with a nice `systemd` service file.
If the service comes already-started, stop it immediately:
```bash
sudo systemctl stop radicale
```
## Set up Passwords
Edit `/etc/radicale/config`, changing the `[auth]` section from this:
```
#type = none
```
...to this:
```
type = htpasswd
```
Make sure the service is off, as people may be able to sign in without a password at this point.
Next, find the `htpasswd` program.
You might get it in the `apache` package or similar.
`htpasswd` allows you to generate passwords for users, and place them in `/etc/radicale/users`.
```bash
PASS="$(xkcdpass)"
htpasswd -nb $USER "$PASS" | sudo tee -a /etc/radicale/users
echo "Your username is $USER"
echo "Your password is $PASS"
```
Right now, you can't sign into the server except through the localhost, which is pointless.
So now we add a subdomain to `nginx`.
```nginx
echo '
server {
if ($host = cal.DOMAIN) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
server_name cal.DOMAIN;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5232;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name cal.DOMAIN;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/cal.DOMAIN/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/cal.DOMAIN/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5232;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
' > /etc/nginx/sites-available/radicale
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/radicale /etc/nginx/sites-enables/
```
Finally, replace the example `DOMAIN` with your actual domain name.
```bash
DOMAIN=whatever.com
sudo sed -i "s/DOMAIN/$DOMAIN/g" /etc/nginx/sites-available/radicale
```
(optional: replace that `cal.` prefix with anything else)
Check nginx is happy:
```bash
sudo nginx -t
```
You will almost certainly need a new SSL certificate for the site:
```bash
sudo certbod -d cal.$DOMAIN
```
Start or restart both services:
```bash
sudo systemctl start radicale
sudo systemctl restart nginx
```
You should now be able to log into your calendar, and add it to a phone.
**NB:** you don't need the port number.

## Download the Database
```sh
mkdir board_games
cd board_games
curl -Lo bg.zip 'https://www.kaggle.com/api/v1/datasets/download/threnjen/board-games-database-from-boardgamegeek'
unzip bg.zip
```
The header line shows fields with a bunch of colons, which will confused `recutils`, so we'll have to get rid of them.
```sh
sed -i '1s/://g' *.csv
```
Convert the games to `.rec` format.
```sh
csv2rec games.csv > games.rec
```
## Queries
If you try to look at older games, you'll find lots of results.
```sh
recsel games.rec -e "YearPublished < 1800" -c
recsel games.rec -e "YearPublished < 1800" -Cp Name
```
But most are wrong.
The problem is games with a `YearPublished` date of `0`, probably because the year published is unknown.
```sh
recsel games.rec -e "Name = 'The Goblin King is Angry'" -p YearPublished
```
Fix the query by removing games published in '0 AD'.
```sh
recsel games.rec -e "YearPublished < 1800 && YearPublished != 0" -R YearPublished,Name
```
Or fix the database setting `YearPublished` to 'unknown':
```sh
recsel games.rec -e "YearPublished = 0" -Cp Name
recset games.rec -e "YearPublished = 0" -f "YearPublished" -S 'unknown'
```
Strategic games which work best with 3 players, sorted by Average Rating:

Store your bibliography in a `recfile` database, then extract any part with `make`.
For example, you could store books like this in `bibliography.rec`:
```recfile
%rec: book
%key: slug
slug: thinkingexperience
author: H. H. Price
title: Thinking and Experience
year: 1953
publisher: Harvard University Press, Cambridge
slug: inventingrightwrong
author: John Leslie Mackie
title: Inventing Right and Wrong
year: 1997
publisher: Penguin Books, England
```
Run `make book` to extract `book.bib`, ready for LaTeX to use:
```bib
@book{thinkingexperience,
author = {H. H. Price},
title = {Thinking and Experience},
year = {1953},
publisher = {Harvard University Press, Cambridge},
}
@book{inventingrightwrong,
author = {John Leslie Mackie},
title = {Inventing Right and Wrong},
year = {1997},
publisher = {Penguin Books, England},
}
```
The `makefile` syntax is just a few lines (though admittedly employs some garbled shell-crud):
```make
bibs != grep -Po '%rec: \K.*' bibliography.rec
bibfiles = $(patsubst %, %.bib, $(bibs))
$(bibfiles): %.bib: bibliography.rec
recsel $< -t $(basename $@) |\
sed 's/slug: \(.*\)/@$(basename $@){\1,/g' |\
sed 's/^\(\b.*\b\): \(.*\)/ \1 = {\2},/gI' |\
sed 's/^$$/}\n/g' > $@
echo '}' >> $@
```
Here's a longer `bibliography.rec` file, which can also produce `article.bib`:

## Create
Make a database for your boardgames, specifying only one field and value:
```bash
database=games.rec
n=Name
g=Vojvodina
touch $database
recins -f $n --value $g $database
recsel $database
```
Insert a few more, with the estimated playtime:
```bash
recins -f Name -v Saboter -f Playtime -v 30 $database
recins -f Name -v Chess -f Playtime -v 30 $database
```
View all games, or select one by number:
```bash
recsel $database
recsel -n 0 $database
```
Each game should note whether or not you have played it yet, so you can add that field and set the default to `yes`.
```bash
f=played
v=yes
recset -f $f -a $v $database
```
...but the field is wrong, it should have a capital letter:
```bash
new_field=Played
recset -f $f --rename $new_field
```
## Read
Check how many records the database has:
```bash
recinf $database
```
Look at just the games you've never played:
```bash
recsel --expression="Played = 'no'" $database
```
Print how many, then just print the names:
```bash
recsel -e "Played = 'no'" --count $database
recsel -e "Played = 'no'" --print=Name $database
```
## Update
To change a game's `Played` field from `no` to `yes`, use `recset` to specify the number, and change that field.
```bash
num=0
f=Played
value=yes
recsel --number=$num $database
recset --number=$num -f $f --set=$value $database
```
Find all games with a playtime of `30`, and set the field `Max_Players` to `4`.
```bash
recset -e "Playtime = 40" -f Max_Players --set 50 games.rec
```
This doesn't work, because that field does not exist.
You can `--set-add` the field, to add it wherever it does not exist.
```bash
recset -e "Playtime = 40" -f Max_Players --set-add 50 games.rec
```
## Delete
Remove `Played` record from first game:
```bash
num=0
recset --number=$num -f Played --delete $database
```
You can comment the line instead of deleting it:
```bash
num=1
recset --number=$num -f Played --delete $database
recsel $database
cat $database
```
Delete an entire record:
```bash
num=2
recdel --number=$num $database
```

Sometimes `recsel` chokes on a large query, and you need to break the query into chunks with a pipe.
This Kickstarter file has 374,853 records.
Here's the chonky query:
```sh
recsel kick.rec -e "Category = 'Games'" -p "Subcategory,Avg(Goal)" -G Subcategory
```
It breaks down like this:
| Chunk | Meaning |
|:-----------------------------:|:---------------------------------------------:|
| `recsel kick.rec` | Select records from `kick.rec` |
| `-e "Category = 'Games'"` | Select only records where Category = 'Games' |
| `-p "Subcategory,Avg(Goal)"` | Print the Subcategory and average goal |
| `-G "Subcategory"` | Group by subcategory |
Two ways to break the query apart:
```sh
recsel kick.rec -e "Category = 'Games'" | recsel -p "Subcategory,Avg(Goal)" -G "Subcategory"
recsel kick.rec -e "Category = 'Games'" > games.rec
recsel games.rec -p "Subcategory" -G "Subcategory"
```

You can search every file on the computer instantly by installing `plocate`.
Once installed, run `sudo updatedb` to create the database of (nearly) every file on the computer.
Check how big the database is:
```sh
du -h /var/lib/plocate/plocate.db
```
Once you have the database, you can find nearly any file instantly.
- Search for gifs: `locate .gif`
- Search for gifs in the `/usr/` directory: `locate /usr/ .gif`
- Search for jpg images with 'dog' or 'Dog' in the name: `locate -i dog jpg`
- Search for videos: `plocate --regex '.mp4$|.mkv$|.wmv$|.webm$|.mov$|.avi$'`
For best results, run `updatedb` regularly, perhaps in [crontab](../system/cron.md).
## Search More Places
`plocate` will not search `/tmp/`, because nobody cares about those files, and won't search inside `/mnt/`, because that's where USB sticks get mounted, so the files keep changing as USB sticks come and go.
Change where `plocate` searches by editing the configuration file at `/etc/updatedb.conf`.
By default, the `/mnt` directory is 'pruned' from the database.
So if you want to search `/mnt` for videos, remove the word `/mnt` from the configuration file.
```bash
su root
cat /etc/updatedb.conf
sed -i 's#/mnt/##' /etc/updatedb.conf
updatedb
exit
```
Now you can search in `/mnt` for films:
```sh
plocate --regex '.mp4$|.mkv$|.wmv$|.webm$|.mov$|.avi$'
```

You can share parts of a secret with multiple people, so only some of them need to agree to see the secret.
Install `ssss`, then decide on the total number of secrets (`N`), and the threshold of people who must share their shard of the secret in order to reveal the secret.
```bash
N=5
T=3
FILE=secret.txt
fortune | ssss-split -t $T -n $N > $FILE

Each shard is a line inside secret.txt.

## `http` Setup
In this example, the port used is `23231`, but it can be anything.
Open `/var/lib/soft-serve/data/config.yaml` and make sure the `http` section looks like this:
```
# The HTTP server configuration.
http:
# The address on which the HTTP server will listen.
listen_addr: ":23232"
# The path to the TLS private key.
tls_key_path: ""
# The path to the TLS certificate.
tls_cert_path: ""
# The public URL of the HTTP server.
# This is the address that will be used to clone repositories.
# Make sure to use https:// if you are using TLS.
public_url: "http://localhost:23232"
```
Restart the `soft-serve` service, then check it's working by cloning from localhost:
```bash
git clone http://localhost:23232/${some_repo}.git
```
### `https` Setup
Put this file at `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/$DOMAIN.tld`, then set up standard certificates with [nginx](../networking/website/nginx.md).
(replace `${DOMAIN_NAME}` with your domain's name).
```
server {
listen 80;
server_name ${DOMAIN_NAME};
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:23232;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name ${DOMAIN_NAME};
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:23232;

If you chance a configuration file, such as `/etc/environment`, and `pacman` wants to update the file, it will place `/etc/environment.pacnew`.
Check the new files, then look at the difference between the `pacman` version, and your version.
```bash
sudo find /etc/ /var/ /usr/ -name "*.pacnew"
diff /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist*
```
Either,
- Update the files manually,
```bash
sudo -e /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
sudo rm /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew
```
Or,
- use a tool like `pacdiff` to view the changes next to each other, and select them with `vim`.
```bash

To automatically stick the logo onto your background, do these commands in the directory.
Get the void linux logo from wikipedia
```bash
wget https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Void_Linux_logo.svg/256px-Void_Linux_logo.svg.png?20170131170632
```
Rename it, and resize it (the standard size is too small for most wallpapers)
```bash
convert -resize 200% '256px-Void_Linux_logo.svg.png?20170131170632' void-logo.png
```
Download a pretty wallpaper
```bash
wget http://wallpapercave.com/wp/Wlm9Gv0.jpg
```
Put the void logo on all *jpg and *png images
```bash
for x in *.jpg
do
composite -compose multiply -gravity Center void-logo.png "$x" "$x"

Put your device in 'aeroplane' mode (e.g. where no trace of signal leaves it) by turning off Wi-Fi and blue-tooth.
> sudo sv stop wpa_supplicant bluetoothd
```sh
su root
sv stop wpa_supplicant bluetoothd
```
Find your device's name with `ip a`.
Find your device's name with `ip -color addr`.
If unsure, try this:
> name=$(ip a | grep -Eo 'wlp\w{3}')
> echo $name
```sh
name=$(ip a | grep -Eo 'wlp\w{3}')
echo $name
```
Then set that device down:
> sudo ip link set $name down
```sh
ip link set $name down
```

# Jenkins on Void
Jenkins is janky.
## Start
Start the service file.
```sh
su root
ln -s /etc/sv/jenkins /var/service
sv start jenkins
```
Then visit the web interface with `$BROWSER localhost:8080`.
If it's not working, try running the command from the run file the first time:
```sh
chpst -u jenkins java -jar /opt/jenkins/jenkins.war
```
## Updating
Jenkins will not work if out of date.
You will be prompted to update by downloading a `jenkins.war` file.
Download it, then stop the service, and move the file to `/opt/jenkins/jenkins.war`, then start the service again.

Check the current locales:
```sh
locale -a
```
Add the languages you want by editing `/etc/default/libc-locales`, and uncommenting your choice:
```sh
#en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_DK ISO-8859-1
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB ISO-8859-1
#en_HK.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_HK ISO-8859-1
```
Now you can generate what you need for those languages.
However, instead of generating what you need, you're going to generate everything which needs updating:
```sh
su root
xbps-reconfigure glibc-locales
```
Finally, select your chosen locale by placing it in `/etc/locale.conf`.
```sh
echo "LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8" > /etc/locale.conf
#en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_DK ISO-8859-1
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB ISO-8859-1
#en_HK.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_HK ISO-8859-1
```
Check your new locales are available:
```sh
locale -a
```
