Install Caddy Server on Ubuntu with Systemd.
# Should work on all Debian based distros with systemd; tested on Ubuntu 16.04+.
# This will by default install all plugins; you can customize this behavior on line 6. Selecting too many plugins can cause issues when downloading.
# Run as root (or sudo before every line) please. Note this is not designed to be run automatically; I recommend executing this line by line.

Use wget to snapshot a page and its necessary visual dependencies

Use wget to mirror a single page and its visible dependencies (images, styles)

Money graphic via State of Florida CFO Vendor Payment Search

Graphic via State of Florida CFO Vendor Payment Search (flair.myfloridacfo.com)

This is a quick command I use to snapshot webpages that have a fun image I want to keep for my own collection of WTFViz. Why not just right-click and save the image? Oftentimes, the webpage in which the image is embedded contains necessary context, such as captions and links to important documentation just incase you forget what exactly that fun graphic was trying to explain.

How effectively delete a git submodule.

To remove a submodule you need to:

  • Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
  • Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
  • Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
  • Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
  • Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
  • Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
  • Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
