A gitignore file for initializing a git repository in the root file system. Because the include list is a white list of files there aren't any issues with repositories being in a sub tree. This .gitignore file is in the `/` filesystem where there is a git repository at `/.git`. The name of this repository on the central server is the domain name…
#Track iptables
#the order of the patterns matter because we want to track a child but not any parents

#include all directories and files to be ignored completely

This is a guide for the recommended method of installing Ruby from source.

This is a guide for the recommended method of installing Ruby.

Learn more about Ruby.

Ruby 1.8.7

RHEL 6.4 currenly only supports ruby 1.8.7 in the repositories which has been completely dropped which is currently in security maintenance only. Therefore it's recommended to manage ruby outside of the yum package management and build completely from source.

A sane admin workflow for managing your GitLab instance.

Sane GitLab management for an Admin

I've seen it asked a couple of times in #gitlab on freenode about upgrading GitLab and what is a good method or recommended method. While GitLab HQ does not recommend a specific workflow for their upgrades I am here to introduce you to my work flow. Feel free to use it or adapt it to your own style. Please note I wrote the majority of this around GitLab 6.0 but GitLab 6.2 is currently released. This will likely apply to any future GitLab release if they stick to the same model of releasing via SCM.

If you'd like to follow other stuff I write about randomly I have a LinuxQuestions.org blog under the user sag47 or you can look at my recent posts on LinuxQuestions.org by doing an advanced search and search by user name. I try to make them all informative.

A GitLab major version is released on the 22nd of each month. Each release has it's own upgrad

Adding certificate authorities to Ubuntu 12.04

Overview

If you're able to visit a website and it successfully validates but you're not able to curl the website (i.e. you get certificate validation errors) then it is likely because your root certificate, or intermediate certificate, or both are not trusted in your system. Ubuntu provides an easy process for updating the root certificate stores using the update-ca-certificates command and the /etc/ca-certificates.conf for configuration.

Add CA and Intermediates to Ubuntu

Certificates should be installed under /usr/share/ca-certificates. You should create a directory for your org to place all certs and intermediates.

mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/my.org/
