NEWS 240125 ABOUT exGENT (Gentoo) 64 bit
I’ve made a new EXTRA version of exGENT with only a few necessary packages pre-installed. The system is built from “scratch”. I.e. installed the “Gentoo way” following the Gentoo Handbook. It uses LXDE as Desktop Environment and kernel 5.15.80-gentoo-x86_64 (Gentoo’s original kernel) while running the system live (from a DVD or a USB stick). After a hard drive installation kernel 6.7.1 (latest stable kernel version) will be used. This exGENT build...

Docker, systemd-resolved and corporate VPN

Posted 04-29-2021 at 11:44 AM by serafean

Tags docker, systemd

There's no going around it, I really need that docker image now. Unfortunately everything is corporate. apt repositories, conan repositories. Docker needs resolve and contact machines through the local openconnect vpn0 interface.

1. Docker kills my internet

My LAN runs in the 172.17.0.0/16 range. Docker uses that same range.
Easy fix. Set it in daemon.json

Code:

{
  "default-address-pools": [
    {
      "base": "172.22.24.0/24",

Miscellaneous links and things that helped me on this new install, with SSD issues, systemd, and removable JFS hdd issues, and whatever else

"rc.local" doesn't run by default anymore, so:

https://www.troublenow.org/752/debian-10-add-rc-local/
https://www.linuxbabe.com/linux-serv...l-with-systemd

Which in turn may be useful or necessary to have /var/cache/apt/archives as a tmpfs, with this:

Code:

mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/partial 
mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives 
mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives/partial 

chown -R _apt /var/cache/apt

Automatically update flashplayer-plugin

Code:

ii  flashplugin-nonfree  1:3.6.1  amd64  Adobe Flash Player - browser plugin

Debian doesn't update the flashplayer-plugin automatically to avoid downloading an unchecked 3rd party proprietary binary. If you want to ignore that risk for convenience do the following:

/usr/local/bin/flash-update.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh
update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

/etc/systemd/system/flash-update.service

Code:

[Unit]
Description=update-flashplugin-nonfree

systemd 219 && systemd-networkd changes

Posted 02-22-2015 at 07:45 AM by serafean

Tags systemd

The recent update to systemd sent it to version 219. Per the changelog, .network files gained two new configuration values

Code:

IPForward
IPMasquerade

After the upgrade, my Gentoo box stopped routing packets to the internet. NAT was setup correctly, so the issue couldn't be there.

It appears that systemd by default sets the forwarding sysctl of each interface to 0. In order for packets to be forwarded, this must be set to 1. /etc/sysctl.conf was of no help.
