Create server

1. Set up a virtual machine on azure, aws, digital ocean or whatever
2. Don't forget to Setup inbounding rule (in some cases) for azure: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/nsg-quickstart-portal, for open a listening port
3. install dokku http://dokku.viewdocs.io/dokku/

Setup your server

2. ssh into your server (ex: ssh [email protected])
3. Run these commands in the terminal.

I was tired of Chrome eating all my laptop resources so I decided to put some limit to it with cgroup.

As I was using Ubuntu 12.04 with support for cgroup, I installed the package cgroup-bin and add the following group to the file /etc/cgconfig.conf:

group browsers {
    cpu {
#       Set the relative share of CPU resources equal to 25%
        cpu.shares = "256";
 }

There are certain files created by particular editors, IDEs, operating systems, etc., that do not belong in a repository. But adding system-specific files to the repo's .gitignore is considered a poor practice. This file should only exclude files and directories that are a part of the package that should not be versioned (such as the node_modules directory) as well as files that are generated (and regenerated) as artifacts of a build process.

All other files should be in your own global gitignore file. Create a file called .gitignore in your home directory and add anything you want to ignore. You then need to tell git where your global gitignore file is.

Mac

git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore

Windows

git config --global core.excludesfile %USERPROFILE%\.gitignore
