my_linux_setup

Setting up

1. ssh into the server and paste the github private key (or create a new pair):

ssh-keygen -t rsa

2. Edit .ssh/config:

echo "
Host github.com
  HostName github.com
  User skoricius
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
 " >> ~/.ssh/config

2. Clone the git repository

git init ~/
git remote add origin git@github.com:Skoricius/linux_setup.git
git fetch
git checkout -t origin/master

3. Run parts of the scripts/linux_setup.sh that you require. The basic ones are install_apt.sh that installs some basic utilities that I like to use. Then, I use set_up_neovim.sh and set_up_zsh.sh for neovim editor and zsh shell.

Using telegram bot

Add token and chat id environmental variables to .zshrc:

export TELEGRAM_TOKEN=<token>
export TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=<chat_id>

Copy telegram binary to a folder in your path cp telegram /usr/bin.

Run with telegram <message>.

Useful commands

Setting up ssh key

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-copy-id -i $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server

Add ssh key to ~/.ssh/config:

 echo "
Host <name>
  HostName <server>
  Port 222
  User root
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
" >> ~/.ssh/config

Transferring files

Using rsync (faster than sftp and only transferres deltas)

rsync -azP <remote_host>:<remote_folder> <local_folder>

For a file server, this is a nice utility: https://github.com/sigoden/duf Just download the binary and run: duf -b 0.0.0.0 and remember to allow the port through a firewall: sudo ufw allow 5000

For Google drive uploads, use gdrive.
