by Andrew Pam 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

PLEASE NOTE CHANGED START TIME Another group has the room before us, so we're starting half an hour later this month. 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM Tuesday, August 7, 2018 Training Room, Kathleen Syme Library, 251 Faraday Street Carlton VIC 3053 Speakers: * Roger, PF on OpenBSD * Russell Coker, fail2ban Roger will be discussing PF on OpenBSD including an explanation of what PF is, how he uses it, the syntax and rules, logging, and tagging. Roger is a *nix like OS enthusiast and a Django developer. Korn is his shell, XTerm his terminal, vim his editor and PF his packet filter. Python and C always sound good to him. Russell Coker has just installed fail2ban on several of his servers and will talk about how installing and configuring it was surprisingly easy and why it offers significant benefits over iptables rate limiting or having no protection against repeated connection attempts. Russell has done lots of Linux development over the years, mostly involved with Debian. Many of us like to go for dinner nearby after the meeting, typically at Trotters Bistro or Brunetti's in Lygon St. Please let us know if you'd like to join us! Linux Users of Victoria is a subcommittee of Linux Australia.

LUV July 2018 Workshop: Beginners guide to Docker
by Andrew Pam 08 Jul '18

08 Jul '18

Start: Jul 21 2018 12:30 End: Jul 21 2018 16:30 Location: Infoxchange, 33 Elizabeth St. Richmond Link: http://luv.asn.au/meetings/map Docker is the currently the "kewl" way to both manage development environments and deploy applications at extreme scale. However it has new terminology, and a different architecture compared to using virtual machines (the technology Docker is most frequently compared with), so it can be confusing at first. This talk is an entry level introduction to Docker. As well as explaining what containerisation is and why it's useful, this talk introduces key terminology and includes practical demonstrations showing the basics of using docker images, containers and docker-compose. Some basic Linux knowledge is assumed, as well as knowing what a network port is. Alec Clews has been using Linux since kernel release 0.99.13p17 (he thinks, it was a long time ago) and works at PaperCut software as the technical integration manager. He's a UNIX fascist and a beer snob but, apart from that, is pretty laid back. https://github.com/alecthegeek https://twitter.com/alecthegeek There will also be the usual casual hands-on workshop, Linux installation, configuration and assistance and advice. Bring your laptop if you need help with a particular issue. This will now occur BEFORE the talks from 12:30 to 14:00. The talks will commence at 14:00 (2pm) so there is time for people to have lunch nearby. The meeting will be held at Infoxchange, 33 Elizabeth St. Richmond 3121. Late arrivals please call (0421) 775 358 for access to the venue. LUV would like to acknowledge Infoxchange for the venue. Linux Users of Victoria is a subcommittee of Linux Australia.
