Securing SSH on UBUNTU Server 12.04 on a VPS
  1. On the VPS. Setup a user in sudo group with sudo permissions
  • $ adduser deployer --ingroup sudo
  • NOTE: On Ubuntu >= -v11.0 the admin group was removed, the default is sudo
  1. On your local machine, install ssh-copy-id:
  • $ brew install ssh-copy-id
  1. Then, copy your ssh certificate onto your new slice form your local machine: enter password on prompt
  • $ ssh-copy-id deployer@IP_ADDRESS_OF_VPS
  1. After testing that you can ssh into your VPS, open the sshd_config file on your slice, to improve security:
  • $ sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  1. The main things to change (or check) are:

A Spree Commerce challenge. Any suggestions how to tackle this?

  • Internet Shop

    • Status: The solution for this is a straight Spree Commerce solution and all Internet Orders are handled at the Warehouse.

  • Physical Shop

    • Propositions:
      • This one will need a more thoruogh reality check
      • Should work with current ePOS proccessing
      • This solution can be run locally/redunancy at the shop with continous central DB (located at Main Office) update for main office admin purposes.
    • Requirements:

  • We need to create staff roles. The staff sells to Customer without Customer logging in.

How to edit the hosts file in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to Mac OS X 10.6 10.8 Mountain Lion

The hosts file is a text file that maps hostnames to IP addresses. On browser request, the system first checks if there is an entry in the hosts file, if exists gets the corresponding IP address. If no it resolves the IP via the active connection’s DNS servers.

The hosts file can be edited to block certain hostsnames, like Adobe's licence hosts, or used for web development purposes, i.e. to redirect domains to local addresses.

###Steps – Open the Terminal.app
