List mongodb collections in descending order of size. Helpful for finding largest collections. First number is "size," second is "storageSize."
var collectionNames = db.getCollectionNames(), stats = [];
collectionNames.forEach(function (n) { stats.push(db[n].stats()); });
stats = stats.sort(function(a, b) { return b['size'] - a['size']; });
for (var c in stats) { print(stats[c]['ns'] + ": " + stats[c]['size'] + " (" + stats[c]['storageSize'] + ")"); }

Steps to install a Comodo PositiveSSL certificate with Nginx.

Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

Purchase the cert

Ubuntu Server Up-to-Speed Cheatsheet
# Making the Switch from RHEL to Ubuntu Server?
# I needed to start supporting Ubuntu 12.0.4 Servers after three years of working with Scientific Linux 5/6 (RHEL-variant)
# This is the cheatsheet I put together to help get over some of the differences
# Last Edit 20130508
_Root_
The root account is not enabled by default. Ubuntu wants to to use sudo to elevate privileges. The first created account will be an administrator in the sudoers group.
Config file: /etc/sudoers (use visudo)

Give network superpowers to docker

Unionize: network superpowers for your docker containers

Unionize lets you connect together docker containers in arbitrarily complex scenarios.

Note: I recommend to use https://github.com/jpetazzo/pipework instead.

  • pipework is a better name than unionize
  • it's hosted on a "real" github repo instead of a small gist :-)

Now if you want Unionize, it's still here. Just check those examples.
