brew is a bad neighbor

This isn't a guide about locking down homebrew so that it can't touch the rest of your system security-wise.

This guide doesn't fix the inherent security issues of a package management system that will literally yell at you if you try to do something about "huh, maybe it's not great my executables are writeable by my account without requiring authorization first".

But it absolutely is a guide about shoving it into its own little corner so that you can take it or leave it as you see fit, instead of just letting the project do what it likes like completely taking over permissions and ownership of a directory that might be in use by other software on your Mac and stomping all over their contents.

By following this guide you will:

• Never have to run sudo to forcefully change permissions of some directory to be owned by your account

To use the most modern version of Postgres software we need to add postgresql repository. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list or create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list and add there a line: deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ jessie-pgdg main Then import the repository signing key, and update the package lists:

wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update

Install a new version of PostgreSQL server.

Once the Debian upgrade finished, I used dpkg-query -l postgresql* to check which versions of postgres I have installed.

Make a backup from RDS

pg_dump -h <rds host> -p 5432 -F c -O -U <rds user> <db name> > db.dump

Restore the backup into a Docker container

docker run --rm --interactive --link <postgres container id>:postgres --volume $PWD/:/tmp/ postgres:latest /bin/bash -c 'pg_restore --verbose --clean --no-acl --no-owner -h "$POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_ADDR" -p "$POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_PORT" -U postgres -d <db name> /tmp/db.dump'

I have spent quite a bit of time figuring out automounts of NFS shares in OS X...

Somewhere along the line, Apple decided allowing mounts directly into /Volumes should not be possible:

/etc/auto_master (see last line):

#
# Automounter master map
#

+auto_master # Use directory service

#!/bin/sh
# Can be snapshot or release
DEFAULTREVISION=release

# Pull out latest snapshot version
REVISION=${1-$DEFAULTREVISION}
REGEX="(?<=$REVISION\": \").*?[^\\\\](?=\")"
VERSION=`curl -silent "http://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/versions.json" | grep -Po "$REGEX"`
if [ "$VERSION" = "" ]; then
        echo "Invalid Version"; exit
