PiHole on Docker

Hi, in order to execute a pihole within a docker environment, I found this script from pi-hole repo very usefull. All you have to do is to adjust the ServerIP option I’ve modified the ./etc-pihole/pyhole-FTL.conf and configured the following: DBFILE=MAXDBDAYS=0DBINTERVAL=0PRIVACYLEVEL=0 This is to ensure the db file doesnt grow to gigabytes and slowdown your DNS…

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS upgrade finished. with still some time left from support point of view, I decided to upgrade to next LTS release. Upgrade went in smoothly with only a few changes required to the sshd conf. Reminder to myself, next time remove the TLS1.3 apache ppa before starting the upgrade.

Ubuntu 17.10 and VMWare Workstation 12.5

Aside

Hi,

gestern Abend hatte ich die Idee mein Notebook (Dell E6530) auf das neue LTS Release von Ubuntu zu upgraden.

Das letzte Mal gab es Schwierigkeiten mit den X-Edgers PPA, also diesmal vorsorglich ein:

ppa-purge xorg-edgers

durchlaufen lassen um den Nvidia Treiber von der Platte zu fegen.

Im BIOS hatte ich Nvidia Optimus deaktiviert um die Intel Grafikkarte abzuschalten.

Damit lief dann auch das

do-release-upgrade

problemlos durch.

Anschließend hatte ich noch ein Problem mit meiner VMWARE Workstation Installation was sich aber durch einen Patch der vmnet Sourcen beheben lies. ( Quelle hier:)

#Change directory into the vmware module source directory
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
# untar the vmnet modules
tar -xvf vmnet.tar
#run a the patch (download link below)
patch vmnet-only/filter.c < ~/vmnet313.txt
# re-tar the filter.c file
tar -uvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
#delete the previous working directory
rm -r vmnet-only

Danach sollte die VMWARE Gui das module wieder normal kompilieren.
