In this config you will learn how to block or redirect web traffic based on the visitor’s country geographical location using Apache’s geoip mod.
Assuming that you already have Apache webserver installed and running we start by the installation of mod_geoip:
UBUNTU/DEBIAN # apt-get install libapache2-mod-geoip CENTOS/REDHAT/FEDORA ( epel enabled only ) # yum install mod_geoip.x86_64
The following linux commands will help you to obtain the information about your laptop battery such as manufacturer, part type, capacity, voltage etc. First, tool which can be used for this job is dmidecode command. If you currently do not have dmidecode available on your Linux system you can install it by:
UBUNTU/DEBIAN # apt-get install dmidecode CENTOS/FEDORA # yum install dmidecode
next, using dmidecode we can obtain some hardware information about our battery:
# dmidecode -t 22
# dmidecode 2.12
SMBIOS 2.6 present.

Using an ENTRYPOINT Docker command specified within a Dockerfile one can pass an arguments to an interactive Docker container upon its launch. Consider a following Dockerfile content:
FROM debian:8 ENTRYPOINT ["echo"]
Below is a quick config on how to to encrypt and decrypt large files using OpenSSL and Linux such as Redhat, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora etc. First, what you will need is a some sort of arbitrary file. Let’s create 1GB file now:
$ fallocate -l 1G large_file.img $ ls -lh large_file.img -rw-r--r--. 1 lrendek lrendek 1.0G Jan 2 16:40 large_file.img
The nc ( netcat ) command can be used to transfer arbitrary data over the network. It represents a quick way for Linux administrators to transfer data without the need for an additional data transfer services such as FTP, HTTP, SCP etc. This config will show you an example on how to transfer data between to network hosts. We will be transferring data myfile.txt file from a localhost to a destination host with an IP address 10.1.1.2.
The nc command first needs to be started on the network host to which we need to transfer data. We will instruct nc to listen for an incoming request on user defined port number and once the client request comes receive the desired data. Pick the port number of your choice to ensure that it is not blocked by firewall and it is accessible from the source host.
$ nc -l -p 7555 > myfile.txt
In this config you can learn how to convert documents format between LibreOffice and Microsoft Office file formats on Linux. The preferred tool to use for a file format conversion between LibreOffice and Microsoft Office is unoconv. Let’s start with the installation of unoconv package:
FEDORA/REDHAT/CENTOS # yum install unoconv DEBIAN/UBUNTU # apt-get install unoconv
and create some LibreOffice document document.odt and spreadsheet spreadsheet.ods to play with:
$ file document.odt document.odt: OpenDocument Text $ file spreadsheet.ods spreadsheet.ods: OpenDocument Spreadsheet

This tutorial has been written for both vi and vim. It starts with real basics, such as cursor navigation and ends with more advanced techniques like merging files.
For every section of this tutorial there is a short video with hints to help you understand how vim / vi works. Even that I have divided this tutorial into parts from novice to the expert user, there is plenty more what vim can do to make your work with vim editor easier and more efficient.
However completing this tutorial you will give sufficient knowledge about vim / vi and its features for your daily tasks.
In vim you can move cursor around with following keys h, l, k, j which is left, right, up and down respectively.
You can move cursor around also with arrow keys, however this is possible only if they are available.
Vim was designed for all kinds of terminals where arrow keys may not be available for you. Moreover, once you get used to using vim with h, l, k, j you will move more quickly than using arrow keys.
Open some text file and try use above keys now:
vim yourfile.txt
NOTE: You do not have to create a file prior to execution of the above command. If the file does not exists it will be created. If the file does exists it will be opened.
