Flatpak currently only works with a desk top environment, it is not for servers. There are other universal package management systems available. One popular example is snap, however this is from Ubuntu and seems propriety in nature. text/html 2025-08-09T03:11:23+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.kptree.net/tech_notes:dns?rev=1754709083&do=diff Domain names, domain nameservers, DNS and DHCP Domain names, Domain nameservers, DNS and DHCP are a key part of the internet back bone. * DNS (Domain Name System) resolves the text domain names to the relevant IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. * text/html 2025-08-10T12:30:03+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.kptree.net/tech_notes:pikvm?rev=1754829003&do=diff linux kvm ipmi pikvm bmc PiKVM I purchased a PiKVM kit in 2021, and got it operational at that time. I did not need to use it until recently, 2024-09. Basically a special 'hat' is mounted on a standard Raspberry Pi 4, the smallest memory unit type being sufficient (2 GB). The kit was complete with all the required parts, such as the hat, Raspberry PI, a case, small OLED display and various cables. The PiKVM is V3 HAT with RPi V4 2GB. text/html 2026-06-29T07:36:04+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.kptree.net/tech_notes:boot?rev=1782718564&do=diff linux boot uefi ventoy secure secure_boot boot tools list drives * df -h * sudo fdisk -l * lsblk flags: * -f to get more verbose output * -o to get specific output columns, use -h option to see list of column options * blkid * ls -l /dev/disk/by-id, additional list options: text/html 2023-12-29T07:24:43+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.kptree.net/tech_notes:nginx?rev=1703834683&do=diff nginx http Nginx On a simple system nginx can be started with /usr/sbin/nginx basically calling nginx executable with defaults. nginx -h nginx version: nginx/1.24.0 Usage: nginx [-?hvVtTq] [-s signal] [-p prefix] [-e filename] [-c filename] [-g directives] Options: -?,-h : this help -v : show version and exit -V : show version and configure options then exit -t : test configuration and exit -T : test configuration, d… text/html 2024-03-09T02:45:50+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.kptree.net/tech_notes:ssh?rev=1709952350&do=diff linux ssh ssh-keygen ssh with key files The advantages of using SSH key-based include: * Improved security * Easier access to ssh (if password keys are not used) Clearly use of unique password encrypted keys gives best security. However if a user has access to you terminal and user password they effectively have full system access anyway.
