Recently upgraded my Gitlab CE install OS from ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 using the distro upgrade. After a few weeks, I logged into my gitlab server and received a notice that gitlab was outdated. Running the usual apt update process did not update gitlab. I noticed while running `apt update` that gitlab apt sources where …

Zabbix 3.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 with Percona
After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, I couldn’t get Zabbix to run and was receiving the following zabbix-server[3962]: /opt/sbin/zabbix_server: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18: version `libmysqlclient_18′ not found (required by /opt/sbin/zabbix_server) To fix this I needed to symlink the perconaclient library to the mysql client libraries that Zabbix was expecting. apt-get install libperconaserverclient18 ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libperconaserverclient.so.18 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18 ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libperconaserverclient_r.so.18 …
Another Ubuntu upgrade, Another dovecot+postfix breakage
It seems like every time I upgrade Ubuntu, dovecot+postfix breaks. Maybe its just my luck, but it has gotten fairly annoying to be the only service that breaks after any upgrade. This time I spent hours last weekend reinstalling, uninstalling and reinstalling postfix and dovecot about 4 or 5 times. Sad to say here I …
Postfix with ubuntu 11.10

After some trials, I found I needed to add this to my main.cf smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth Which has resolved postfix from not working. Hopefully I …
Dovecot with ubuntu 11.10
Just recently updated my vps to ubuntu 11.10, this went mostly smooth. However, I had some issues with dovecot. I could not get it to start. It seems that the configuration guide I followed to setup dovecot broke due to outdated settings. However thanks to a wiki guide from dovecot, I was able to convert …
Nginx with IPv6 and vhosts
Linode.com has recently setup IPv6 natively and is deploying it across their data-centers. This is great as I now have a native IPv6 address for my VPS. I use Nginx as a replacement for Apache and I noticed today that my vhosts where not correctly responding on the IPv6 address. Since I use a wildcard …
Moving home directory to a new drive
My current host has a unique feature in which it allows me to setup virtual machines easily. Since that is easily possible, I may want to someday switch to another operating system. So I wanted to split all my /home and configuration files out onto a separate drive. Which is entirely possible with my host. …
