Instructions for building an EC2 AMI for Arch Linux
#!/dev/null
# This 'script' is a set of instructions for preparing and bundling an Arch
# Linux AMI for Amazon's EC2. Bits are to be run on three different
# computers, and there is interaction required, so please follow along and
# run commands individually.
# PROTIP: THESE DON'T ACTUALLY WORK. That's why I'm pasting them here,
# attemping to get some input on what I'm doing wrong. When the instructions
# are ready for prime-time, I'll clean them up and post them to my blog. If
# you're really interested, watch for it there:

Installing node and npm on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

  1. Navigate to http://nodejs.org/download/ and on the Linux Binaries (.tar.gz) row click to download the 64-bit version of the current latest release.

  2. Say you've downloaded node-v0.10.7-linux-x64.tar.gz into the Downloads directory. Then, open the terminal and type the following:

$ cd ~/Downloads
$ mkdir -p ~/local/node
$ tar xzf node-v0.10.7-linux-x64.tar.gz -C ~/local/node --strip-components=1
$ echo '# Node Enviroment Setup' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/node/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

a quick and dirty tips-n-tricks for ansible
Variables
==========
predefined variables :
- inventory_hostname (fqdn) (normally the same as ansible.fqdn)
- inventory_hostname_short
To know the return codes returned by ansible modules, just use plain ansible -vvv to see them :
ansible -i ~/ansible/arrfab.net/hosts/hosts.cfg -vvv -m copy -a 'src=files/sysinfo dest=/etc/sysinfo' tungstene.arrfab.net

Resizing a partition and filesystem on a headless Raspberry Pi running Arch Linux using a USB drive

Resizing a partition and filesystem on a headless Raspberry Pi running Arch Linux using a USB drive

disclaimer: this worked for me, your mileage may vary. Your Pi, your responsibility :)

After putting Arch Linux on a 16GB SD card using these instructions, I ended up with about 14GB of free space.

Arch Linux uses one primary partition (/dev/mmcblk0p1) and an extended partition (/dev/mmcblk0p2) containing one logical partition (/dev/mmcblk0p5). The primary partition is the boot partition and the logical partition is the root partition. Rather than adding another primary partition I just wanted to resize the root partition and filesystem.

According to this bugreport parted no longer handles resizing of partitions and gparted needs a graphical environment to run. So I had to come up with something else to resize my partitions.

测试平台：DigitalOcean VPS ubuntu14.04 x64, strongswan5.2.2

运行以下命令请使用root权限

一：安装strongswan

由于ubuntu软件仓库中strongswan版本较低，因此从官网源码编译安装

apt-get install build-essential     #编译环境
aptitude install libgmp10 libgmp3-dev libssl-dev pkg-config libpcsclite-dev libpam0g-dev     #编译所需要的软件
