keep brew stuff up to date by using an all in alias:
alias brewup='brew update; brew upgrade; brew cleanup; brew doctor'

brew update and brew upgrade will refresh all brew'ed stuff
brew cleanup will remove any older versions of packages
brew doctor will check the system for potential problems and show them

Kubernetes

curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.27.0/minikube-darwin-amd64 &&\ chmod +x minikube &&\ sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/ --> see here for latest version

This will setup Kubernetes in specific single node version. Now Start with minikube start - will also fetch the newest minikube.iso and may take a while to start. Now all should be set. kubectl api-versions should throw out a couple of versions for the tooling - if so - all runs.
We have a working Kubernetes Cluster now - yai :)

brew cask install kubernetic to get a graphical UI for managing Kubernetes. Should automagically connect to the minikube

Docker

brew cask install docker

This gets the latest stable Docker for Mac - after install start and configure

check if it's workoing via docker run -d -p 80:80 --name webserver nginx This pulls the latest nginx and runs it... check http://localhost or 'docker container ls'

brew cask install kitematic to get a GUI interface to docker

MacOS config Stuff

sudo with fingerprint

Beware that this make SSH into your machine a bit cumbersome as the Fingerprint usually does not travel along the line !

• change to /etc/pam.d/ and make sudo read&write
• insert into second line (after the comment line) auth sufficient pam_tid.so
• save and close
• Change back to read only

ssh Stuff

edit ~/.ssh/config by adding the pi hosts

	HostName TheIPadressHere
	user TheUsualUserID
	RemoteForward 52698 127.0.0.1:52698

then do $ ssh-copy-id conveniantHostName and login with the password once

Editing Files Remotely via SSH on SublimeText 3

Sometimes you need to edit a file on a remote server, but using vim/emacs is not very practical, due to lag and speed of screen refresh.

TextMate users have the classic rmate, but it was implemented in Ruby, which may not be available on the remote server.

A better option is to use this version of rmate, implemented in pure Bash. It's a single file, self-contained, and with no external dependencies.

Step by step:

1. On your local workstation: On Sublime Text 3, open Package Manager (Ctrl-Shift-P on Linux/Win, Cmd-Shift-P on Mac, Install Package), and search for RemoteSubl

2. On your local workstation: Add RemoteForward 52698 127.0.0.1:52698 to your .ssh/config file, or -R 52698:localhost:52698 if you prefer command line

3. On your remote server:

   sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/rsub https://raw.github.com/aurora/rmate/master/rmate
   sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/rsub

Just keep your ST3 editor open, and you can easily edit remote files with $ rsub myfile.txt

EDIT: if you get "no such file or directory", it's because your /usr/local/bin is not in your PATH. Just add the directory to your path:

echo "export PATH=\"$PATH:/usr/local/bin\"" >> $HOME/.bashrc

Now just log off, log back in, and you'll be all set.
