Vanilla OS is not your regular Linux distribution, we define it as a Linux based operating system due to the new paradigms it introduces and the different standards it follows. This page explains what Vanilla OS is and how it is different from other Linux distributions.
Für dieses Tutorial habe ich eine Installation mit Debian 11.1 (Bullseye) verwendet. Auf dem Host existieren die beiden User Alice und Bob, welche für die Nutzung von rootless-Podman vorbereitet werden.
Die Einrichtung von rootless-Podman unter Debian Bullseye
Rootless-Container haben die Eigenschaft, dass sie in User Namespaces (siehe user_namespaces(7) und namespaces(7)) ausgeführt werden. UIDs und GIDs, welche innerhalb des Containers existieren, werden dabei auf UIDs/GIDs des Hosts abgebildet. So besitzt ein Prozess, welcher innerhalb eines Containers mit der UID 0 (root) läuft, außerhalb des Containers bspw. die UID 165537 und damit die Rechte eines normalen Benutzers.
ifupdown-ng is a network device manager that is largely compatible with Debian ifupdown, BusyBox ifupdown and Cumulus Networks' ifupdown2.

This is an introductory howto to get DNSSEC running with BIND >=9.9 on Debian >=8 (jessie). We assume an "clean", freshly installed bind9 here.
DisplayLink driver installer for Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distributions: Debian, Ubuntu, Elementary OS, Mint, Kali, Deepin and many more! Full list of all supported platforms
If you're installing Debian and using preseeding to automate things, there are a lot of settings that you can change directly during the installation phase. Most of the useful things you might want to change are those for the installer itself (e.g. choice of disk partition layout, keyboard, language etc.). However, it is also possible to configure things up in a lot of other packages too if you know the appropriate runes. Finding out exactly what settings are possible can take quite a lot of effort.
Here is some help with that. I've written a script to extract all of the debconf templates in the Debian archive for each of the following releases, pulling out all the places where a template reflects a question or choice. Not all of these settings will make sense out of context, and some of them may not be sensible to use in a preseed. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! But I'm hoping this comprehensive listing might be useful for some people regardless.
I've only generated the set for amd64; other arches should be almost identical.
I have been using a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon laptop (210 DPI) for four years and a Nokia 8 phone (550 DPI) for a year. I enjoy their HiDPI screens: text is crisp and easy to read. To get a similar experience for my workstation, I bought a pair of Dell P2415Q monitors:
The famous ISP-style mail server tutorial lives here. Learn how to set up your own fully-functional mail server using Postfix, Dovecot IMAP/POP3 and MySQL backend on a Debian server just like your favorite mail or website hosting provider. This guide is a voluntary project with no profit in mind. Go ahead and learn to run your own mail server within hours.
So you’ve just rented a new server, in some random data center, from one of the popular hosting providers. You don’t have physical access to the machine, but you rely on your data to be stored securely on the server. You probably want to encrypt the entire system, even the swap partition. The server needs to be able to decrypt the filesystems to boot, but you don’t want the encryption key to be accessible by it, so nobody with physical access can access your data or even tamper with it.
live-wrapper is a tool initially produced by the Debian Live Team that can be used to create Debian-based live images for use with CDs, DVDs or USB sticks.
A couple of days ago an interesting step-by-step guide on how to install Debian with full disk encryption, including /boot, using debian-installer was posted on the debian-boot mailinglist. This reminded me of the steps I used and wrote down a couple of month ago to create a similar setup. These steps describe a full disk (including /boot) encrypted setup on a non coreboot enabled system using the great grml live distro. (And just to be sure I just redid the same setup on a test device with the newest grml release Gnackwatschn):
The goal of fpm is to make it easy and quick to build packages such as rpms, debs, OSX packages, etc.
fpm, as a project, exists to help you build packages, therefore:
If fpm is not helping you make packages easily, then there is a bug in fpm.
If you are having a bad time with fpm, then there is a bug in fpm.
If the documentation is confusing, then this is a bug in fpm.If there is a bug in fpm, then we can work together to fix it. If you wish to report a bug/problem/whatever, I welcome you to do on the project issue tracker.
You can find out how to use fpm in the documentation.
You can learn how to install fpm on your platform in the installation guide.
nacho is a django based web application for managing ldap accounts and groups.
it provides a simple interface for account-registration, self service (editing
profile information) and password reset as well as an interface for
administration of accounts.
I wanted to set up my own apt repository to distribute packages to my own computers. This repository must be PGP-signed, but I want to use my regular PGP key rather than a PGP key stored on the server, because I don’t want to trust my server with root access to my laptop.
Distributing software efficiently accross your platform can be difficult. Every distribution comes with a package manager which is usually suited for this task. APT can be relied upon on when using Debian or a derivative.
Unfortunately, the official repositories may not contain everything you need. When you require unpackaged software or more recent versions, it is possible to setup your own local repository.
Most of what is presented here was setup for Dailymotion and was greatly inspired by the work done by Raphaël Pinson at Orange.
tl;dr: this post explains how the new openstack-tempest-ci-live-booter package configures a machine to PXE boot a Debian Live system running on KVM in order to run functional testing of OpenStack. It may be of interest to you if you want to learn how to PXE boot a KVM virtual machine running Debian Live, even if you aren’t interested in OpenStack.
