  • Box — Docker shell server

    Box — Docker shell server

    A couple of months ago I had the great idea to set up a shell server in Docker. Simply because my docker skillz were quite rusty and a shell server was something I actually genuinely needed. Shell servers… so 2005. I remember in the good old IRC days people asking for (free) shell servers to…

  • CIFS: mount error(13): Permission denied

    You’ve just updated your Raspberry Pi (or whatever Linux) and you’re noticing your CIFS (smb) mounts aren’t getting auto mounted anymore. You curse and start noticing this error: # mount -t cifs //192.168.1.100/public -o username=public,password=public sam/ mount error(13): Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) The solution is to add after…

  • Raspberry Pi & @Flightradar24

    In a couple of lines: how to get FR24 (+ dump1090) to work on your Raspberry Pi. Be sure to have the right hardware: flightradar24.com/dvbt-stick and … obviously … a RPi. I got a NooElec from Amazon because I didn’t have the patience to wait for something (that might not work) from AliExpress. As root: apt-get update…

I am also selling the power adapter and the laser cut casing.    Raspberry Pi: €30,49/item (type B – 512 Mb RAM) PSU: €4.45/item Casing:…

  • Munin + Raspberry Pi + temperature: updated

    I got a mail in my inbox about a week ago from Anthony, telling me how to improve my Munin & temp script for a RPi: Hi, I just read your (old) blog post about monitoring the temperature of the Raspberry Pi with munin[1]. I had the exact same error as you did when I was…

  • Why historical data matters (and is just cool to look at)

    CPU temperature from a Raspberry Pi (behind the display, in the wall). (zoom in)    

  • Raspberry Pi + ad blocking + nginx

    There’s this howto that explains how to set up the RPi as ad blocker. I’ve two RPi’s acting a router and was already running dnsmasq. I decided to give it a try. Note that this howto can actually be used on any DNS serving Linux server. First of all, don’t go with the pixelserv as…

  • Munin + Raspberry Pi + temperature

    Quick hack to get Munin to graph the cpu temperature. First of all, install Munin and make sure it’s working. Then follow these steps: 1) We’ll use cron to write the current temp to a log file. We do this because I wasn’t able to get Munin to directly execute the command (error: temp.value VCHI initialization…

  • Home made TimeMachine

    This. Used my Raspberry Pi, with an USB disk as TimeMachine. Another disk as NAS/storage. It’s just quite slow… Not sure whether it’s my WiFi or RPi that can’t keep up. But for now, it’s working.
