How to sync data from Server to Raspberry Pi
by Rahul Mahale 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hello, I need to periodically sync the data to raspberry pi from Windows Azure. I can't use rsync as the data is on Windows server. Currently I am syncing the data by parsing the JSON API A python script extracts the links of physical files and then downloads the data. Script is scheduled to run using cron job. Is there any other way to Pull and Push data from Raspberry Pi to Server ? -- Rahul.R.Mahale. http://rahulmahale.wordpress.com/

Fail-Over & Load-balancing
by Siji Sunny 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hello All, We are trying to identify the right approach to do Fail-Over and Load Balancing in Linux server (Centos7), which contains Mariadb(mysql) and web-server (nginx) with some services such as Video On Demand, Games, etc. (streaming through Intranet, not Internet) Please guide, to select the right technology/solution (Ofcource OpenSource) to do so. Its seems complicated for me because of the dynamic data (eg: If a user watching video and fail over happens, he should get seamless streaming without interruption). I have considered HA-Cluster (Heartbeat) for Failover and HA-Proxy for load balancing, but still not sure, how to handle dynamic data fail over. -- Siji Sunny

Libreoffice 4.3.2.2 Writer -- loosing embedded images
by Arun Khan 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

A few days ago, I upgraded LO to 4.3.2.2 (amd64) on Linux and Mac OS X. In writer, while editing the doc with imported images (PNG), it looses some of the images (random) and shows a box with "Read Error" in top left corner. After closing the doc and reopening it, all traces of that image is gone! Seeing this problem on both Debian / Wheezy (amd64) as well OS X desktops. Anyone else experiencing this anomalous behavior? -- Arun Khan

How to bypass a domain in squid
by Rahul Mahale 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hello, I had set-up an proxy server on my raspberry pi. Raspberry Pi is a wifi hotspot running a dhcp on a subnet 192.168.5.1-255. all my LAN traffic goes through transperent squid proxy. I have one website hosted on Pi with Apache. I used bind9 to bind a local DNS with a website domain now the local website is available through LAN with abc.co.in domain but I want this site to be excluded from access.log or I want it to completely bypass the transparent squid proxy server. I tried following rules in squid3 but no success:- acl abclan dstdomain .abc.co.in http_access allow abclan always_direct allow abclan and this acl abclan dstdomain .abc.co.in cache deny abclan cache allow all but none worked and still access.log shows the abc.co.in entries. any suggestions to achieve this scenario ? Thanks! -- Rahul.R.Mahale. http://rahulmahale.wordpress.com/

Defining fixed IPs to VM Guests
by Joel A Divekar 11 Oct '14

11 Oct '14

Hi All I have setup a Centos7 host server with KVM and have created multiple VM running Ubuntu 14.04 using virt-manager. All VMs were having forward mode as "NAT" and using internal DHCP IP address 192.168.122.x series and gave them fixed ips based on their mac address. Now all these VMs are able to access Internet and able to run update on all these guest OS. But no server or devices on LAN / Internet is able to access these VM and I am running web and API servers on VMs. And as they have to be part of the Host servers IP pool, 192.168.1.x/24 network, I changed our virsh network settings from default to routed as <forward mode='route' dev='em1'> and struggling to configure fixed IPs for our VMs i.e Host 192.168.1.11, Web Server 192.168.1.12, API server 192.168.1.13 .... etc. Would like to do exactly as mentioned in this link https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/ht… Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] [Network] Need suggestion
by Rahul Mahale 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Hello I have some success to my problem but their are few concerns, What I did :- 1.Installed Raspbian on Pi(B+). 2.made it as a wifi hotspot using hostapd and udhcpd. 3.installed the squid3 proxy server(apt-get install squid3). 4.managed the routing through Iptables to go all traffic through proxy. 5.made the proxy transperent. 6.wrote an python script to analyse the squid log (access.log) 7.the log analyzer counts the bytes used by each ip and dumps it in sqlite db. 8.the wifi clients who exceeds the limit are put in to one acl file blockedip. 9.from squid.conf i use the blockedip acl list to restrict the access. 10.after setting the cron job i am able to block clients after particular data usage. My Concerns:- 1.I am not able to bypass the one domain abc.com from proxy which should not appear in access.log 2. How can I increase the size of access.log to maintain the logs for more time as Pi has low storage. Any suggestions ? Regards:- -- Rahul.R.Mahale. http://rahulmahale.wordpress.com/

are you concerned about your privacy on the internet?
by Pirate Praveen 06 Sep '14

06 Sep '14

Those who have nothing to hide or think they don't share anything private on facebook or whatsapp can safely ignore the message. Alternatively you can think you will never share a nude photo anyway so you don't need privacy. You may also think privacy is needed only for celebrities and geeks, then also you can ignore this post. Another reason for ignoring could be to wait till these tools become famous. Do you want to learn how to ensure your privacy on the internet? Do you want to ensure all your friends also follow these practices? Then join us the coming weekend to learn and promote the tools to ensure privacy for everyone. http://www.meetup.com/Diaspora/Mumbai-IN/1205392/

I have 8 GB SD card and if needed I can mount USB drive as well. And is it necessary to compile squid from source rather then installing by apt-get ? Also I searched on squid delay pools but did'nt get any exact method to limit quota ,rest all are to limit bandwidth speed . will try it practically once i receive my Wifi Adapter.

I need to keep the track of each user, how much internet data it uses, and also need to limit the user to particular data limit (e.g:1 GB). I need to track data plan, as well how much data used or left for particular user. Which tool or configuration will allow me to achieve this scenario?

Samsung disks are available. So is Kingston. Check with Prime ABGB in Mumbai (they are prime stockists).

Hi all, I'm having a new PC built for my parents and I'm trying to get a quote for an assembled PC. The assembler is claiming that the only SSDs available in Mumbai are A-Data in the 120/128 GB category. Being outside India, I'm not able to independently verify this claim, so can anyone clued into the hardware market in Mumbai tell me whether this is true? I was originally looking to get either the PNY XLR8 or the Samsung 840 EVO 120/128 GB SSDs for the build. TIA, Easwar -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
