Library - in a Temperature Controlled Storage Unit

I have a friendly collection of books, without quite enough space to store them. I decided on an easy-to-access temperature controlled storage unit at Black Earth Storage, in Black Earth, WI Black Earth Storage (608)644-6151 1527 State Street
Black Earth, Wisconsin 53515.

I go by twice a day on my way to and from work, so it is extremely easy to pick up or drop off a book. There is 24-hour a day access, and I am able to park right next to the door for easy loading and unloading. There is a gas station right next door, so it is also conveniently when I have to fill-up my car. I should have thought of this a long time ago.

I am able to rotate books from storage to my home book shelves depending on my projects and the season. It is almost time for me to rotate gardening and travel books back home to prepare for spring.

macOS High Sierra remote reboot encrypted drive

When you reboot a macOS computer with an encrypted drive, you must login to unlock the volume before the boot process can complete. This creates a problem if you are working remotely.

The solution is to add a key temporarily in memory to make it through the reboot process.

Is FileVault on? If off, you don’t have to do any of this.

$ sudo fdesetup status
FileVault is On.

Does your hardware support authrestart? If not, this doesn’t help.

$ fdesetup supportsauthrestart
true

Turn on authrestart, but don’t reboot yet.

$ sudo fdesetup authrestart -delayminutes -1

The old prompt wants a recover key or an admin password? confusing question. This was changed in the current OS to ask for a username of a user who is authorized to unlock the drive.

Enter a password for '/', or the recovery key: # enter the admin password, or the internal drive key

The new version asks for a username and then a password

$ sudo fdesetup authrestart -delayminutes -1
Password:
Enter the user name:support
Enter the password for user 'support':

other useful commands

list of users who are able to unlock a FileVault volume.

$ sudo fdesetup list

back to work

Time to start updating again. Lots to talk about. Thank You Everyone. :)

gitosis

osx how to install gitosis
http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/doc/1-INSTALL.html
back on the gitolite track

as root do the following:

root method

On your workstation:

copy your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file to /tmp/YourName.pub on the server
On your server, as root:

git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite
cd gitolite
src/gl-system-install
# defaults to being the same as:
# src/gl-system-install /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/gitolite/conf /usr/local/share/gitolite/hooks

# to upgrade gitolite, repeat the above commands. Make sure you use the
# same arguments for the last command each time.

# create your "hosting user" if not already created
useradd git

su - git

# (now as git)
gl-setup /tmp/YourName.pub
On your workstation:

git clone git@server:gitolite-admin

Note: things to look for:

The git user has to have ssh login ability, you may have to turn that on in the GUI, system preferences --> Sharing remote access

had to add a file for the git user:
.bashrc

containing:
$ cat .bashrc
export PATH=:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH:
#export PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH

export GIT_EXEC_PATH=/usr/libexec/git-core

# get the path with $ git --exec-path

needed help from this source too
http://www.justlogged.com/Question/1/5041067/4e549dc7aa65302b9e71c9941b815058/show

ran the following command (running google's binary install of git:
$ git --exec-path
/usr/libexec/git-core


my .bashrc file now looks like this

$ cat .bashrc
export PATH=:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH:
#export PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH

export GIT_EXEC_PATH=/usr/libexec/git-core


also important, I used the GUI in Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to create the git user. The git user is not an administrator, therefore they were blocked from ssh, I had to manually add them to the users who could ssh in system preferences sharing.


instructions that worked from this source
http://lukhnos.org/blog/en/archives/162

1. create in system preferences a user git, make the user an admin for a short while, undo this later
2. create a group git, and add the user to the group
3. for convenience, I also created a gitosisadmin admin user. (why? was this needed? perhaps to avoid making the git user admin and then removing it requiring a reboot.)
4. 
   login as the gitosisadmin user and download gitosis.
   
ssh -l gitosisadmin localhost
$ which python
/usr/bin/python
$ which git
/usr/bin/git
$ pwd
/Users/gitosisadmin


$ git clone git://eagain.net/gitosis.git
$ cd gitosis/
$ sudo python setup.py install

   
5. 
   create key if you don't have one
   
ssh-keygen -t rsa

   
6. 
   copy key to a temp location so git user can read it
   cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /tmp/my_key.pub
   
7. 
   $ sudo -H -u git gitosis-init < /tmp/eabolden.pub Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/ Reinitialized existing Git repository in /Users/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/






8. 
   may need this:
   make sure post update hook is executable.
   
sudo chmod 755 /Users/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/hookspost-update

   






9. 
   from a different account clone the admin repository
   
   $ git clone git@your.server.com:gitosis-admin.git
   Cloning into gitosis-admin...
   bash: gitosis-serve: command not found
   fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
   
   
   
   tried reinstalling...
   saw this error:

Notes


The following can be done with the osx gui

list users and uid
$ sudo dscl . list /Users kid
list groups and group id
$ sudo dscl . list groups did
delete user username
$ sudo dscl . -delete /Users/username
delete group groupname
$ sudo dscl . -delete /groups/groupname

manually create group commandline
sudo dscl . create groups/git
sudo dscl . create groups/git did 401

manually create user commandline
sudo dscl . create users/git
sudo dscl . create users/git uid 401
sudo dscl . create users/git NFSHomeDirectory /Users/git
sudo dscl . create users/git gid 401
sudo dscl . create users/git UserShell /bin/bash
sudo dscl . create users/git Password '*'

create home directory
sudo mkdir /Users/git
sudo chown git /Users/git
sudo chgrp git /Users/git

installing Chilliproject offshoot of Redmine

I am hoping to link Chilliproject with gitosis to manage a git repository with web uploads of keys.

https://www.chiliproject.org/projects/chiliproject/wiki/Installation

needed to update to a specific version of rails

$ sudo gem update rails --version='2.3.12'


get a copy of ChiliProject

git clone git://github.com/chiliproject/chiliproject.git
cd chiliproject
git checkout stable


After getting the code, needed to install supporting gems using the following, after installing postgressql83 with macports, could have avoided some of this, by specifying I was not using postgressql.


$ sudo port install postgresql83
$ env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" bundle install


other notes:


$ sudo port install postgresql83

http://www.icoretech.org/2009/08/how-to-install-pg-postgresql-gem-on-snow-leopard-64-bit/
Install PostgreSQL from source/port for this, does not currently build against binary package.
PATH should be /usr/local/pgsql.

export PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:${PATH}
env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg
Or if you are using macports:

export PATH=/opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin:${PATH}
env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg
