 To connect multiple Ubuntu devices (clients) to one central Ubuntu server and share the connection securely over a VPN, here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide. Step 1: Set Up the Ubuntu Server as a VPN Gateway This server will act as the central point, allowing other devices to connect to it. 1.1 Install OpenVPN on the Server Log into your central Ubuntu server. Update package lists: sudo apt update Install OpenVPN: sudo apt install openvpn -y 1.2 Set Up Easy-RSA for Key and Certificate Management OpenVPN requires certificates and keys for secure connections. Install easy-rsa to help with certificate creation: sudo apt install easy-rsa -y Create a new directory for the PKI (Public Key Infrastructure): make-cadir ~/openvpn-ca cd ~/openvpn-ca Initialize the PKI: ./easyrsa init-pki Build the CA (Certificate Authority) and follow the prompts: ./easyrsa build-ca Generate the server certificate and key: ./easyrsa gen-req server nopass Sign the server certificate: ./easyrsa sign-req ser...

  Initiate a repository: # initialize an existing directory as a Git repository $ git init # retrieve an entire repository from a hosted location via URL $ git clone [url]   Stage your files: # Show modified files in working directory, staged for your next commit git status # Add a file as it looks now to your next commit (stage) git add [file path] # If you need to add ALL the modified files at once git add . # Unstage a file while retaining the changes in working directory $ git reset [file] # Difference of what is changed but not staged $ git diff # Difference of what is staged but not yet commited $ git diff --staged # Commit your staged content as a new commit snapshot $ git commit -m "descriptive message" # Add files and Commit your staged content as a new commit snapshot $ git commit -a   Manage branch & merge: # list your branches. a * will appear next to the currently active branch $ git branch # create a new...

Security in DevOps, often referred to as DevSecOps , integrates security practices into the DevOps process, ensuring that security is built into every phase of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Here’s a breakdown of key security practices in DevOps: 1. Shift-Left Security What it is : Security is integrated early in the development process (in the design and coding phases). Practices : Perform threat modeling and risk assessments at the start. Implement secure coding standards. Use static application security testing (SAST) to scan code for vulnerabilities. 2. Continuous Security Testing What it is : Automated security tests run continuously throughout the CI/CD pipeline. Practices : Integrate tools for dynamic application security testing (DAST) and interactive application security testing (IAST) to catch vulnerabilities during and after code deployment. Run security checks for every pull request and automated builds. 3. Automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Security Wh...

  To learn Kubernetes effectively, you should focus on a structured approach that covers both foundational concepts and hands-on experience. Below is a breakdown of the key areas and topics to focus on: 1. Basic Concepts of Containers and Orchestration Containers : Understand Docker and containerization. Learn how containers are created, how images are built, and how they differ from traditional VMs. Container Orchestration : Learn why orchestration is necessary and how Kubernetes solves problems like scalability, high availability, and automated management of containerized applications. 2. Kubernetes Architecture Nodes and Clusters : Learn how Kubernetes clusters are organized into nodes (worker nodes and master nodes). Control Plane : Understand the components of the control plane (API server, scheduler, etcd, controller manager). Worker Node Components : Learn about kubelet, kube-proxy, and container runtime. 3. Core Kubernetes Components Pods : The smallest deployable units in ...

 Error message: he message you're seeing: Gtk-Message: 21:23:41.751: Not loading module "atk-bridge": The functionality is provided by GTK natively. Please try to not load it. FIX:-  indicates that the atk-bridge module is no longer necessary for your version of GTK, as the functionality it provides is now built into GTK itself. This is more of an informational or warning message rather than an error, and your application should still run fine without any issues. However, if you'd like to suppress this message or resolve it for a cleaner output, here are some approaches: 1. Ensure Dependencies Are Up-to-Date Make sure you have the latest versions of GTK and its related packages:  sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade You can also specifically update GTK and ATK packages (on Ubuntu/Debian): sudo apt install --reinstall libgtk-3-0 at-spi2-core libatk-adaptor   2. Unset GTK Modules Environment Variable (Suppress Message) The message might be triggered because the GTK_MODULE...
