For some time now I wanted a Debian Live USB stick on which changes are permanently saved. In the end I decided to use a Sandisk USB stick with USB3 and 128 GB. I downloaded the iso file of Kali Linux with all data (about 14 GB) and flashed it to the USB stick with …
Today we’ll quickly set up a squid proxy on Debian to route our traffic via the proxy. We only allow the connection with username and password. In addition, we only allow IPv4 and disable the cache and logs completely. Insert configuration (in this example without cache and logs): Restart Squid: Set settings in the browser …
Sometimes it can be very practical to find the files with differences between two directories, e.g. for store systems and other web applications. This allows the contents of two folders to be compared in order to specifically find the changed files – e.g. between a store system used in production and a fresh (empty) installation …
Unfortunately, with Plesk it is not possible to start several Node.js instances on the same domain at the same time. This can be particularly annoying if, for example, the frontend and backend have been set up separately. It becomes even more complicated if the backend Node.js application is to run in a subdirectory of the …
In a previous post I had already described how MongoDB can be used under Plesk with a Docker container. We had created several volume mappings under a data folder for this purpose. When backing up with Plesk, it can be a problem to back up the contents of the MongoDB Docker container. I would like …
To install MongoDB under Plesk and make it ready for use, we use the Docker environment integrated in Plesk and simply install the mongo image A memory limit should be set in the settings and automatic start should be activated. Manual port mapping should also be activated. In addition, we set a clean volume mapping. …
For certain security-critical services or older projects, it can be useful to monitor file changes. Therefore, I took the time to write a small script that is stored directly in the home directory. The subdirectory, sender email, and recipient still need to be configured in the script. An email will be sent when new, deleted, …
Unfortunately, many PHP 7.4 scripts or web applications are still running on many servers. These are mostly old, unmaintained projects that cannot or should not go offline for a variety of reasons. The use of such web applications is increasingly becoming extremely insecure, PHP 7.4 offers a larger attack surface and in many cases the …
The usual tools for a virus scan under Plesk are unfortunately somewhat expensive when used on numerous servers or are simply too careless in their scanning. Today I would therefore like to describe a virus scan with the ClamAV tool (as always under Debian). The installation is usually no problem, even with Plesk. First we …
Sounds simple, but can lead to madness on secure servers: The connection of N8N with a WordPress installation. First of all, it is advisable to resolve the IP address for the name correctly directly in the Docker container, e.g. to avoid problems with the CDN or an upstream firewall. If you need help setting up …
