Introduction

The steps below assume that you are using minishift (https://github.com/minishift/minishift) to run an Openshift cluster locally.

Prefereably, these steps need to be carried out before initiating an application with the template above. If not, the PostgreSQL database pod will not start up and you will have to re-deploy the PostgreSQL pod after carrying out the steps below. It's not a major problem. But why panick unnecessarily? :)

Step 1 : Add Django with PostgreSQL 'persistent' template to Openshift

The Django persistent template can be found at https://github.com/openshift/django-ex

Introduction

A minishift openshift cluster can be created with cluster metrics installed. Although I couldn't find a way to add metrics to an already created minishift VM instance, the steps below helped to get a new instance up and running easily.

Steps

Step 1 - Initialise minishift with metrics.

Create a fresh minishift VM with an openshift cluster using the below command. The --metrics parameter is the only additional thing I had to provide for minishift to start installing cluster metrics and Hawkular.

 $minishift start —metrics

I have an old HP Officejet 2620 printer that works perfectly. Unfortunately Apple and HP do not support this printer in Big Sur onwards.

Instead of throwing away a perfectly working printer, I re-purposed one of my old Raspberry Pi 2 units and plugged the printer to it using the USB cable. Below are the steps I ended up following to convert the setup into an Air Print server.

1. Follow instructions from https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-airprint/ to set up your Raspberry Pi.

2. Before adding your HP Printer using the ttps://192.168.0.40:631 web UI, install HP Cups Drivers as below;

   sudo apt update

Speed up browsing on network shares

To speed up SMB file browsing, you can prevent macOS from reading .DS_Store files on SMB shares. This makes the Finder use only basic information to immediately display each folder's contents in alphanumeric order. Use this Terminal command:

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool TRUE

Then log out of your macOS account and log back in.

To reenable sorting, use this command:
