General OpenSSL Commands

These commands allow you to generate CSRs, Certificates, Private Keys and do other miscellaneous tasks.

Generate a new private key and Certificate Signing Request

openssl req -out CSR.csr -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout privateKey.key

Configuring Nginx to serve SSL content is straight forward, once you have your certificate and key ready:

server { 
    listen 443 default ssl;
    root /path/to/source;
    server_name mydomain;

    ssl_certificate      /path/to/cert;
    ssl_certificate_key  /path/to/key;

How-to: Use a serial connection to your Netgear ReadyNAS

It is possible to connect to the command-line interface of your Netgear ReadyNAS using a serial connection. I have seen a very old blog post on the internet describing how to connect via serial to a Infrant ReadyNAS NV but it wasn't very clear how to connect to a Netgear ReadyNAS NVX Pioneer Edition, which I have. I guess I'm not the only one who wants to connect to their ReadyNAS, so I'm sharing my knowlegde here :)

The obvious advantages of a serial connection to your ReadyNAS is that you can experiment with network settings without the fear of rendering your NAS inaccessible. I believe it is also possible to recover the firmware in the event an update fails, although I haven't tried this myself.

Requirements

Running conrep from the HP Scripting Toolkit on 64-bit Ubuntu server

conrep from the HP Scripting Toolkit is used to make modifications to the system BIOS settings. To get it running on an 64-bit Ubuntu server, you'll need to install

libstdc++6:i386
libxml2:i386

Without it you'll get this error

$ ./conrep

# virtualenv graphite-web
# cd graphite-web
# . bin/activate
# pip install circus chaussette meinheld Django==1.3 Twisted==11.1.0 python-memcached==1.47 txAMQP==0.4 simplejson==2.1.6 django-tagging==0.3.1 gunicorn pytz pyparsing==1.5.7 http://cairographics.org/releases/py2cairo-1.8.10.tar.gz git+git://github.com/graphite-project/whisper.git#egg=whisper

Here are the problems I was seeing

aboyd-laptop:Volumes aaronyo$ hdiutil attach -nomount -readwrite TimeCapsuleAaronLaptop/aboyd-laptop.sparsebundle
hdiutil: attach failed - Read-only file system

In the home directory of the user that the sentry chausette process will run under: mkdir ~/.sentry
copy sentry.conf.py into ~/.sentry
running chaussette sentry.wsgi.application should be enough to get it started. Add options as required, eg:

chaussette sentry.wsgi.application --backend meinheld --port 8091
