After experimenting with Manjaro Cinnamon I decided to try to install Nextcloud on a OEM F210 thin client computer similar to the one at the following URL.

Nextcloud scales from Raspberry Pi to huge federated installations and I am interested in exploring federation.

Installation Process:

Boot from USB thumb drive
Select Nextcloud from additional software list
Confirm all updates are installed
Install Zerotier client software
Start Nextcloud

Nextcloud works when I connect to it from the IP address assigned by the local DHCP server but I can not connect via the Zerotier address. The message box pointed me to an issue with trusted domains which is easily fixed by editing the config.php file. That is when you have a standard installation of Nextcloud. Installing Nextcloud during the Ubuntu 22.04 server installation uses a snap package. Time for a bit of just in time learning!

Editing the /var/snap/nextcloud/32871/nextcloud/config/config.php file to include 10.242.28.133 in the trusted domains section of the file allows me to access Nextcloud over the Zerotier overlay network.

'trusted_domains' =>
array (
0 => '192.168.10.59',
1 => '10.242.28.133',

Open Source for the Win!

Having Fun,

Hey y'all:

I have a utility that I just discovered something new about: It normally color-codes output by how much space is available. I didn't realize this because on all my ssh sessions, it does everything in monochrome.

I was standing up a new VM on my home cluster and did the initial install on a virtual console instead of an ssh session, when I noticed the display was in glorious color.

Doing this also makes in display color-coded output, even in an ssh session:

CLICOLOR_FORCE=1 COLORTERM="truecolor" duf

CLICOLOR_FORCE=1 COLORTERM="yes" duf

So I recognize that syntax- it's setting two environment variables, but just for the process kicked off by the command "duf" - and it works. The first one is supposed to be 24-bit color mode, and the second 8-bit color, but I can't tell the difference in an ssh shell. I'm not sure duf makes use of 24-bit color anyhow.

So, to force color, I guess I have two options: Either alias the command "duf" to

CLICOLOR_FORCE=1 COLORTERM="yes" duf

Or something like that, or set those environment vars in .bashrc or something. I don't know if that will affect other programs too....?

What's the best way to handle this? I have a buncha machines I'd want to do this too, because duf is just so handy.
