The option Acquire::http::Proxy-Auto-Detect already exists for some time. It was intended to be used with the package squid-deb-proxy-client which is a helper for the APT http method to discover proxies that publish their service as _apt_proxy._tcp. It was justed upgraded (version 1.0.8) and now add the URL as a paramater. It is now possible to discover a common proxy through a proxy.pac script.
Here are some aptitude commands I use regularly but not often enough to remember each time…
La version Debian de Nikola a été mise à jour en V6 il y a quelques temps. Ça a été l’occasion d’essayer d’optimiser un peu la configuration du blog et de supprimer les modifications en dur qui me permettaient d’afficher le bouton Flattr.
Trying to mutualise Nagios services (or Shinken in my case) and NRPE configuration, sometimes a check returns to many data for NRPE or a host in DMZ don't have NRPE port accessible.
On one infrastructure I monitor, while my NRPE configuration can check free disk space on local file systems (among other), I have a NAS in one DMZ with a lot of file systems (one LVM volume by share). The size of returned data, with Nagios perf data was above NRPE limit (1 kB). Rather than moving NRPE command line in Shinken services configuration and having to handle character escaping, rights and complexify Shinken configuration, I wrote this little script which use via check_by_ssh the same parameters than check_nrpe and read NRPE configuration one the client host to validate the command and execute it.
J’ai fait l’acquisition de cette nouvelle machine suite à l’autodestruction de mon ancien portable – un Dell XPS 15 qui n’était pourtant pas si vieux. Je devais bien entendu y installer ma distribution favorite, à savoir Debian (Sid parce que pour un desktop, c’est la meilleure version quand on connait un peu).
Vu que je l’utilise de temps en temps, je désirais conserver l’OS Microsoft™ (version 8) pré-installé gentiment par HP, donc ce sera une installation multiboot (du coup pas de tout repos).
