UNIX | Linode CentOS Setup

How to configure CentOS on Linode.

  • Configure CentOS

    Update:> yum update

    Hostname:
    > hostnamectl set-hostname example_hostname

    Hosts File:
    /etc/hosts

    Timezone:
    >timedatectl set-timezone 'America/New_York'

    Add User:
    >useradd exampleuser && passwd exampleuser
    >usermod -aG wheel example_user

    Disable SSH root login:
    /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    # Authentication:
    ...
    PermitRootLogin no

  • Install Apache

    Update:
    >sudo yum update

    Install Apache:
    >sudo yum install httpd

    Enable and start Apache:
    >sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
    >sudo systemctl start httpd.service

    >sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/httpd-mpm.conf
    KeepAlive Off

    \
    StartServers 4
    MinSpareServers 20
    MaxSpareServers 40
    MaxClients 200
    MaxRequestsPerChild 4500
    \

    Backup httpd.conf>sudo cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf httpd.conf.backup

    Virtual Hosts:

    >sudo mkdir /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts

    >sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.confIncludeOptional vhosts/*.conf

    >sudo apachectl configtest

    >sudo systemctl reload httpd.service

    * Another method is to create "avaliable-sites" and "enabled-sites" folders and symbolic link (ln -s) between them.

SELinux:

sudo chown apache:apache -R /var/www/html/example.com/

cd /var/www/html/example.com/find . -type f -exec sudo chmod 0644 {} \;find . -type d -exec sudo chmod 0755 {} \;

sudo chcon -t httpdsyscontentt /var/www/html/example.com -Rsudo chcon -t httpdsysrwcontent_t /var/www/html/example.com -R

sudo systemctl enable httpd.servicesudo systemctl restart httpd.service

Firewall:sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-services

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=http --permanentsudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=https --permanentsudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=httpsudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=https

    > yum provides *bin/semanage

    Install:
    > yum install -y policycoreutils-python-utils

    Optional:
    > yum install -y setroubleshoot

  • Context types for Apache

    Read-only:
    httpd_sys_content_t

    Read and write:
    httpd_sys_rw_content_t

    Log files:
    httpd_log_t

  • SEManage commands

    > semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/var/www/testsite/public(/.*)?"
    > semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_log_t "//var/www/testsite/logs(/.*)?"

    > restorecon -Rv /webapps

Python | Python Basics

The Python Tutorial

Numbers
/ - "Classic Division" returns a float
// - "Floor Division" returns the fractional part
% - Returns the remainder

** - Calculates powers

Full floating point support, integers are automatically converted

Strings
"" and '' are the same.\ - escapesr"" or r'' - "Raw" string doesn't interpret special characters."""...""" or '''...''' - Triple-quotes let strings span more than one line.

    • Concatenates
    • Repeats (e.g. 3 * 'un' + 'ium' >>> unununium)

Two or more string literals are automatically concatenated (e.g. 'Py' 'thon' >>> 'Python')

Strings are automatically indexed and ranges are possible
word = 'Python'
word[0] >>> 'P'
word[5] >>> 'n'
word[-1] >>> 'n'
word[0:2] >>> 'Py'
word[2:5] >>> 'tho'
word[:2] >>> 'Py'
word[4:] >>> 'on'

+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| P | y | t | h | o | n |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+
0 1 2 3 4 5 6
-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1

Python strings are immutable.

len(string) returns length of the string.

Lists
Lists are mutable.
squares = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
squares[0] = 10 >>> [10, 4, 9, 16, 25]
Lists support concatenation.
squares + [36, 49, 64, 81, 100] >>> [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100]
Len even works. len(squares) >>> 5

  • To have .git repository out of Public, do git init in the parent folder and only add the Public folder.

  • Multiple repositories are easy, git just traverses up the directory tree until it finds .git.

  • Do operations on specific .git repository anywhere underneath .git directory.

  • Git stores the repository in the .git folder where you do git init. Add to the repository at the same level or below.
