I am busy changing the world

During the installation process of Open edX ginkgo.1 release ( native ), you may encounter this error: {"changed": true, "cmd": "/edx/app/edxapp/venvs/edxapp/ bin/nodeenv /edx/app/edxapp/nodeenvs/ edxapp --node=6.11.1 --prebuilt --force", "delta": "0:09:19.500992", "end": "2017-09-27 06:20:43.488592", "failed": true, "rc": 1, "start": "2017-09-27 06:11:23.987600", "stderr": " * Install prebuilt node (6.11.1) ..Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File \"/edx/app/edxapp/venvs/ edxapp/bin/nodeenv\", line 11, in <module>\n    sys.exit(main())\n  File \"/edx/app/edxapp/venvs/ edxapp/local/lib/python2.7/ site-packages/nodeenv.py\", line 1010, in main\n    create_environment(env_dir, opt)\n  File \"/edx/app/edxapp/venvs/ edxapp/local/lib/python2.7/ site-packages/nodeenv.py\", line 843, in create_environment\n    install_node(env_d...

I'm sure that you heard a lot about the greatness of Canonical's conjure-up tool and how easy it is to deploy cloud platforms e.g. Kubernete, OpenStack etc... According to the conjure-up and Ubuntu websites, it's straightforward to have those big stack installed: [0]  https://conjure-up.io/ [1]  https://www.ubuntu.com/download/cloud/try-openstack $ sudo snap install conjure-up --classic $ conjure-up That's all they says. But, seriously, when I tried to deploy the Openstack NovaLXD (deploy OpenStack's components into LXD containers) using conjure-up in Ubuntu 16.04, it's pain in the ass. I spent almost 3 days to make it work. Let me explain what happened: In Ubuntu 16.04, you can only use conjure-up installed through snappy not through apt: $ sudo snap install conjure-up That's not much of a deal as you can see. The problem is that conjure-up cannot communicate with the default LXD (network bridge interfaces, storage pools) shipped with Ubuntu...

Let's say you have a list of HTML elements (div) and you want to implement the search and filter functionality. Here is dead simple example: Assuming your HTML block looks like the following: <div> <input type="text" id="search" placeholder="Type to search"> <button id="search-btn">Search</button> </div> <div class="list-partner"> <div class="partner-item">...</div>         <div class="partner-item">...</div>         <div class="partner-item">...</div> </div> And this javascript snippet will add the magic: <script> var rows = jQuery('.list-partner .partner-item'); jQuery('#search-btn').click(function() { var val = jQuery.trim(jQuery('#search').val()).replace(/ +/g, ' ').toLowerCase(); rows.each(function(){ var itemtxt = jQuery(this).text().replace(/\s+/...

If you're running a containerized OpenStack's architecture (e.g. conjure-up will deploy OpenStack this way), you must have a tool to orchestrate all the containers. I'm using Ubuntu's JuJu  and really love it. For example, in order to reset the OpenStack Dashboard admin's password, I don't have to directly go into the keystone service to do that, I just run this from the host machine: 1. Find the machine's number and ip address on which the keystone installed $ juju machines For example, the machine number is 9, ip address is 10.232.45.216 2. Reset the admin's password to 12345678 (the default user is admin):  $ juju run "sudo keystone --os-auth-url=http://10.232.45.216:35357/v2.0 --os-endpoint=http://10.232.45.216:35357/v2.0 --os-token=48FM7htnHkxxHkNT2RmMNxwpYRRcnmp8dbghtwMYWcg2BRRs9qmcMMtRww8tTCZ4 user-password-update --pass 12345678 admin" --machine=9

After I finished installing OpenStack using Ubuntu's conjure-up on a single machine , I found myself struggle to access the dashboard. The only machine that can access the OpenStack Dashboard is the host server which is a headless Ubuntu server. It's because conjure-up installs OpenStack by deploy its components to multiple containers with a virtual private network that connects those services. So in order to access the dashboard from outside, I had to create an iptable rule that NAT the OpenStack Dashboard container's http port (443 or 80) to a host server's port (443 properly). Here is an example: sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d <ip of the host server> --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination <internal ip of the openstack dashboard service, usually 10.x.x.x>:443 After that, I was able to access the OpenStack web interface from other machines.

This is pretty neat javascript snippet to get the URL's parameters: var getUrlParameter = function getUrlParameter(sParam) {     var sPageURL = decodeURIComponent(window.location.search.substring(1)),         sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&'),         sParameterName,         i;     for (i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++) {         sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');         if (sParameterName[0] === sParam) {             return sParameterName[1] === undefined ? true : sParameterName[1];         }     } };
