Often there are tags with images when they are pulled. If you want to rename that tag, all you need to do is the following steps.

When you re-tag, it will leave you with two different images with different tags and we need to get rid of the old one using step3.

An example given below

Sometimes when you merge two git branches, it might give you conflict. Conflict occurs because the same line in the same file has been edited differently in the two branches. This confuses git as to which change to accept and merge. Git conflicts are to be always resolved manually before git can proceed with the merge.

For example, I have two different branches here named current-branch and dev-branch. I want to merge the changes in dev-branch to current-branch now but I am getting a conflict.

Now, to resolve the conflict, you the git mergetool

If you have not already conf...

After a long break of nearly 2 years, I tried to brush up my knowledge and wanted to started with Git. I created a bitbucket repo under my personal account, and setup the identities but no matter what, I was unable to clone the repo via ssh. I was getting the following error while trying to do it.

The error clearly stated it was a problem with my ssh key. I already checked and confirmed the following

1. I have added the SSH public key to the repo’s Access keys option.
2. I also tried to add it under Personal Settings -> Security -> SSH keys but both ...

Sometimes you might come across some errors as follows, when you start services in servers.

Nothing to worry, it could just be because you don’t have the proper permission to do so, or you failed to add a ‘sudo’ infront of the command. Juts try with sudo and it will work.

To create a local yum repo, all you need to do is to make sure the packages are available in a path in the server, say /downloaded_packages/

Now, create a repo file. Be default, all repo files are present in the path /etc/yum.repos.d/ . I am going to name my repo as local_yum, so I will create a repo file named local_yum.repo and add the following contents in it.

The above files tells the programme to take the packages from the baseurl mentioned in the file, which in our case is our local folder /downloaded_packages/

Now check if our repo is listed correctly. In my case, I have not set any other repos, so only my local repo is listed...

I was getting this error when I was trying to run a docker container using jenkins declarative pipeline script. This was being run on my localhost and below is what I needed to correct it.

Added jenkins user to docker group

The solution that actually worked was to change the permission of the sock file to 666

Once this was done my pipeline script started working!

PHP 7.2 does not come by default with Centos base repo. Hence, in order to install it we first need to install and enable the remi repo and then install PHP. Execute the following commands in the below order to get PHP 7.2 installed on Centos7.

Now, check if PHP 7.2 packages are available.

The solr admin console, by default, is not secured or password protected. Anyone with the link can access all the details in the console. This post describes the steps required to secure the console. The post assumes that you followed the steps in the following two posts to

1. Install Java and Jetty in the server
2. Install Solr in the server

Our jetty installation is at /opt/jetty which is our java web server. Our solr installation is at /opt/solr which is our search platform.

We need to modify the following three files in order to secure the admin console.

1. /opt/jetty/etc/jetty.xml
2. /opt/jetty/etc/webdefault.xml
3. /opt/jetty/etc/realm.properties

If you are not sure which files are to be edited, run the following command in the server and check for java_home variable...

Solr is a search platform which is built on Apache Lucene. It makes search easier and faster. Solr can be installed along with tomcat or jetty. This post explains the installation based on jetty.

First you should install java and jetty as mentioned in the link here.

We will install solr also in /opt. First download the latest version of solr from https://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/

I am going to download version 4.10.4. Once downloaded, uncompress it and copy the war file from dist directory to jetty webapps folder.

Now, a few more files need to be ...

Jetty is a java web server like tomcat, and java servlet container. This post describes how to install the latest version of Jetty in Ubuntu.

Latest version of Jetty can be downloaded from http://download.eclipse.org/jetty/stable-9/dist/

Jetty requires java and hence the first step is to install java. The latest version of Jetty, as of this writing is Jetty 9.3.8. Check the link here which shows what version of Java is required for the version of Jetty you are installing. If the version of Java does not match the version in which Jetty is compiled, then it will result in version conflict and Jetty will fail to start.

I am going to install Jetty 9.3.8, hence I need JVM 1.8. Login to your ubuntu machine and switch to root. Then issue the following commands to install java in the server.
