Music News, Server Information

Happy New Year! A lot of server information.

Leave a comment

The 2017-2018 holiday season has been a very busy one, indeed, with the KRAB server.  Not only did I have a nice bit of time off from work, but the recent blizzard and sub-zero temperatures have pretty much kept me inside, doing computer work.

First, since the quackhouseradio chat pages have been down for a couple weeks, I’ve had to pull the backup chat out of mothballs.  Click HERE to go to it.

I FINALLY got around to fixing passive ftp on the server.

I finished work on a series of scripts to automatically create static webpages.  These scripts will automatically update and zip them together, placing them in the Z-mp3index directory on the ftp server. (The bootlegs directory has been renamed to Z-Bootlegs, so that they will appear at the end of the list.)

As my previous post stated, the massive Wishbone Ash posting from 20 Sep has been finally corrected, fixing some bad tagging and file names.  I have also fixed the tagging with a few other large directories that I had known about: Grand Funk Railroad, Golden Earring, Traffic and Rammstein.  If anybody encounters any weird characters in the tags, please let me know what band/album it was, and I will try to repair it asap.

Now, on to the largest upload ever.  About 3700 songs:

For the next month or so, these should all be in the ‘landing zone’ until I can get them all in the proper directories.  Too bad I ran out of time before I can get the podcast blog caught up.  (I’m about 6 months behind there, need to start tackling that, too!)

 

Server Information

Huge Wishbone Ash collection added to server

Leave a comment

Well, a lot has happened since I fixed the ftp issue with the firewall script, but that’s a long story.  I ‘rolled it back’ to the state that it was in before I tried to get it working properly under systemctl, so I shall take another stab at it in the future, hopefully being a bit more cautious.

But, this update is not about the firewall, it’s about finally putting something back on the server that’s been missing since the huge crash back in 2007 or so.

Computer - Linux, Server Information

CRAB server firewall.iptables now fixed, so it will restart without a reboot.

Leave a comment

For those of you familiar with my Linux server, y’all know that I run many custom BASH, Perl, and Python scripts.  We are going to discuss today my iptables firewall script, or actually the fact that I took the time to repair it.   Since upgrading the server to Fedora 20 in September 2014, my firewall script would start fine, but would choke on restarting, reloading, or running it over itself.  The end result would be that the server would sever all ports with the outside, effectively taking it down, needing a reboot to get it back online.  This was a real PITA, since I couldn’t really make any changes to the firewall without reboot.  I thought it was an end result of the OS changing from SysV init scripts to a systemd system.  How wrong I was….  The cause was simply a typo that I made while adding a feature, and a ‘done’ without a ‘while’ and a ‘fi’ without an ‘if’ stopped the script from accepting the restart and reload argument.  Most of the iptables rulesets were created before this typo, so it gave the ‘appearance’ that it was working properly.  Debugging a script of this size is a fairly daunting task, as the main firewall script is a healthy 50 pages, and its configuration file (one of a half dozen helper files) is about 7 pages long.  Since I’ve had a few questions about this firewall, I’ll share it with everybody…..

Download links are only viewable to logged in users.  All the other helper files, as well as these are all available upon request.  If you are a logged in user, and downloading these files, remove the .txt extension from the config and main files….

All in all, it was a fairly productive week off.  I have a few other minor syntax errors to chase down, but the firewall is operating within normal parameters…..
