I’m leavig today Berlin on my way for Drupalcon Prague. Here i attended the first Monitorama event done in Europe. My mind was completely blownaway by the amazing Opensource driven Community foud at the event. We could find people from all parts of Europe and even some from the U.S., all in a quest to make monitoring not suck… Maybe that’s why i got a pair of s_cks at the registration:

MariaDB is an amazing replacement for the previous mysql, abducted by their new "owners", Oracle.
MariaDB is in direct competition with Percona and they both fully support all applications that run with the old mysql backend.

I announced in my last post the availability of actual running code for deploying Drupal sites on LXC containers.
First work acomplished went using puppet & vagrant to create the LXC image. After that it can be exported to a Docker container and moved around.
Since then i went a bit further and created the actual lamp stack with the native docker build ALSO!

Recently I helped to "staticalize" the past Drupalcon sites on http://drupal.org
This makes the sites static, faster, safer and less error-prone. Works like a live archive of the past events.
For that i use this wget command:
wget -m -U Mozilla --page-requisites \
--retry-connrefused \
--limit-rate=5000k \
--convert-links \
--html-extension \
--restrict-file-names=windows \
--domains ${SITE} \
--no-parent http://${SITE}/

I use bash every day and i want to keep track of EVERYTHING
(and with dates, please)
add this to your .bashrc if you want to keep track of your stuff also:
#10 Million records:
export HISTSIZE=10000000
# Timestamps, Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:SS
export HISTTIMEFORMAT='%F %T '

This will check the site blog.ricardoamaro.com against the IP 50.19.98.136 on Port 80 :
