Live dev site reviews via SSH reverse tunneling

Hosting live dev site reviews using SSH reverse tunnels

Why

  • Allows for end-users to be able to interact with your dev site directly, using their own browser and their own tools from their own computer
  • Easier for manual cross-browser testing (eg. use IE on Windows VM to test your dev site w/o having to deploy the site to a server)

How

These instructions assume the public server is Ubuntu-based and the dev machine has an SSH client

tmux 101 - the terminal multiplexer

Why tmux?

  • Why use a terminal multiplexer?
    • Keeps your hands on the keyboard
    • Keep multiple terminals in eyeshot
    • Detach/re-attach remote session (eg. for long-running processes)
  • Like screen, but better

Python `open` files relative to executing script

# use:
import os
path = 'a/relative/file/path/to/this/script/file.txt'
with open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), path), 'r') as input_file:

Logstash and Filebeat in 5 minutes

Logstash and Filebeat in 5 minutes

What/Why?

  • Filebeat is a log shipper, capture files and send to Logstash for processing and eventual indexing in Elasticsearch
  • Logstash is a heavy swiss army knife when it comes to log capture/processing
  • Centralized logging, necessarily for deployments with > 1 server
  • Super-easy to get setup, a little trickier to configure
  • Captured data is easy to visualize with Kibana
  • Wny not just Logstash (ELK is so hot right now)?
