Create Self Signed Certificate using OpenSSL on a Mac

Introduction

Every now and then I need to create a self signed certificate in azure for something. In my particular case its Azure B2C. I am using a mac so its not simply just running something like

New-SelfSignedCertificate `
    -KeyExportPolicy Exportable `
    -Subject "CN=yourappname.yourtenant.onmicrosoft.com" `
 -KeyAlgorithm RSA `

Nginx: stat() failed (13: permission denied)

from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25774999/nginx-stat-failed-13-permission-denied

Nginx operates within the directory, so if you can't cd to that directory from the nginx user then it will fail (as does the stat command in your log). Make sure the www-user can cd all the way to the /username/test/static. You can confirm that the stat will fail or succeed by running

sudo -u www-data stat /username/test/static

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

What's an Effective Engineer?

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

1. Follow standard conventions.
2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.
