Most of the time I need to be reminded to look up from my problems. I have a tendency… I don’t know if anyone else out there does too… but I have a tendnecy to get myopic on my problems in a bid to solve them. This only magnifies the problems in my life. I need to look up. I have done better lately with this, but still need this reminder. Let me know if you’re in that camp as well.

TTT 30-2 – How to use WebSSH to control your PC Remotely

This is, of course not VNC or a GUI based remote, but it is a simpler way to SSH into one of your machines or servers remotely. If you want a blow-by-blow, click the link and scroll through the article. Here is a summary

Step 1: Install Python and PIP on your machine

Step 2: Install WebSSH by running the following command: pip install webssh

Step 3: Run WebSSH by typing wssh in your terminal (if working with another user on a local machine) or wssh --fbidhttp=False for a remote machine

1. Allow webssh through your firewall
2. Access your remote machine or server insecurely through http

Step 4: Find the SSL Certificate for your domain and add it to webssh

Step 5: Run it Behind Nginx Reverse Proxy

Step 6: Create a WebSSH Systemd File so that you can have it run automatically at boot time

That was allot, thanks for sticking around through all of that.

TTT 30-3 – How to Repeat Your Last Terminal Command in Linux

1. BangBang or !!
1. This will immediately re-run the very last typed command once you hit enter… say you need to add a sudo to the command, all you have to do is type sudo !! after the next prompt
2. To sort for a more specific command, type ! And the first letters of the command in question, then hit enter, and the last command that started with those letters will be re-run
1. for example if you ran a uname command to find out which kernel you’re running, and you wanted to re-run that command you would type !un which will re-execute that command
3. If you want to interactively search through your command line history, simply open the terminal, press ctrl+R and search for a piece of your desired command, hit the right arrow key to auto complete the command or simply hit enter to execute that command.
4. Use the !-# formulation
1. !-1 will run the most recently typed command, and on back, so if you recall how long ago you ran a given command, you can easily run it again this way
5. CTRL+P and CTRL+O
1. CTRL+P will switch to the most recently-run command, and CTRL+O will run it
6. fc command
1. type fc -s and your most recently typed command will be re-run just like that
