Hi everyone,

I need to compile few package on a Devuan5 that is offline.

What would be the best way to install common compiler ?

Do I need the three ? or just gcc will be enough ?

Thanks.

#3 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] is cron daemon crond is running when there is no cronjob set ? » 2023-07-07 05:28:07

Thank you all for your reply !

Thank you that have confirmed my thinking. I'm shocked that some people can post "tutorial" without mastering a bit the topic.... Internet peoples.. big_smile

@boughtonp, oh great indeed I will use also a regex expression in grep to avoid to have the grep itself in the results.

ps aux | grep 'cron$'

Hi everyone,

I would like to create a cronjob.

I've found a "tutorial" online -->  https://linuxhandbook.com/crontab/#the-cron-daemon

But it's start already weirdly...

on his example

christopher@pop-os:~$ ps ux | grep crond
christo+  8942  0.0  0.0  18612   840 pts/0    S+   02:16   0:00 grep --color=auto crond

I can see that the daemon is running for my user account.

neutral for me it's look like that we see the grep process ! not the crond !? Am I right?

anyway I've tried on my Devuan(Chimaera) and I don't see a crond running.. is that normal ?

Thanks.

Hi everyone !

I'm running Chimaera and I would like to update my nginx to >= 1.19.4

When running https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/poli … x&x=submit I get:

nginx

1.22.1-9
  http://deb.devuan.org/merged ceres/main amd64
  http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus/main amd64

1.18.0-6.1+deb11u3
  http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera/main amd64
  http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera/main i386

So it's seem that 1.22.1-9 is ready for the next Devuan release ( I can't wait smile )

But how can I update my Chimaera to a version above 1.19.4 ?

Thanks

Cheers.

Thanks.

FYI,

I tried to install just the certbot package, but it seem to be required for the next step -->
certbot certonly --nginx

Could not choose appropriate plugin: The requested nginx plugin does not appear to be installed

Hi everyone,

I would to get/generate an SSL (TLS) certificate for a website.

I would like to use Let'sEncrypt and I found this guide that target Devuan smile -->

https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws … uanbeowulf

But when I try

sudo apt update
sudo apt install certbot certbot-nginx

I get

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package certbot-nginx

I don't know if certbot-nginx is required as I will most probably go with the option:
just get a certificate from this guide

certbot.eff.org wrote:

Or, just get a certificate

If you're feeling more conservative and would like to make the changes to your nginx configuration by hand, run this command.

sudo certbot certonly --nginx

So is certbot-nginx required ? Did you already installed a Let's encrypt certificate on your Devuan ?

Thanks

#14 Re: Installation » Install ZFS » 2022-10-10 06:01:57

So with my /etc/apt/sources.list

set like this

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-updates       main contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security      main contrib

then entering the following commands

# apt update
# apt install module-assistant
# m-a prepare
# apt install zfsutils-linux

accepting the splash screen about the licenses conflict

here what I got in the last lines

#15 Re: Installation » Install ZFS » 2022-10-09 13:38:06

I found few documentations on how to install ZFS on Debian

With different way -->

sudo apt install linux-headers-amd64
sudo apt install -t bullseye-backports zfsutils-linux

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-image-amd64 spl kmod

do I need any of this ? and is it working for Devuan ? or do we (devuan community) have a package that install all the necessary ?

Thanks.

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-updates main

and what is http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii main contrib ?

#19 Re: ARM Builds » Which Raspberry Pi ? » 2022-08-09 16:22:52

Thank you @auanta for your recommendation.

I also pay a lot of importance about the OpenSource rating ! and between two products I will always choose the one the closet (or totally ) to full open. (I mean if the price delta is fair.)

Thanks again I will explore this.

I will "mute" this rules for the moement and when I have the time I will investigate for sure.
Thanks for your guidance.

Hi,

I'm planning to buy a Raspberry Pi to run a Devuan ❤️ smile

What are the minimal hardware requirement for Devuan ?

I will time to time launch XFCE, but most of the time it's will run without.

And I plan to run a little webserver (minimal traffic smile )

If you have any guidance I'm all ears.

Thanks.

As for what type of UDP traffic it is, it's harmless, but if you want to know then you'd have to look at the port number and correspond it to the protocol.

You mean to look-up with --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_T … rt_numbers
Port 5678 is not assigned to anything...

#24 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] What is that UDP traffic ? » 2022-08-05 13:31:04

Thank you Auanta,

192.168.0.1 is the IP of the machine (not the router, there are none, this is a VM network )

I'm not using iptables but NFtables.

Hi everyone,

I see the following in my nftable log (that has been dropped) -->

IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:****** SRC=192.168.0.1 DST=255.255.255.255 LEN=138 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=33295 DPT=5678 LEN=118 

**** = mac address removed

the SRC, it the IP of this machine so I guess my machine launch a broadcast ? but which one ? from which application ?

Any idea what generate this ? I get it ~every minute.

Thanks.
