CentOS 7 Emergency Mode on boot/reboot with RAID mounted
Posted on July 14, 2015 by Chris Couture in Linux Stuff.I recently built a system for backups and installed Centos 7 on it along with Bacula.

Posted on July 5, 2015 by Chris Couture in ESXi/Hypervisor.I was looking for a good solution to make backups of the different VM Guests that I have on my ESXi server and I ran across XSIBackup and love it. I have it set to make full backups onto my NAS every Saturday in the early morning and I keep 2 weeks of backups. I […]

Setting Up Replication on MariaDB
Posted on June 8, 2015 by Chris Couture in MariaDB.Setting up a master and slave MariaDB server for replication is super easy I highly recommend it. About 10 years ago (MySQL days), I had a master>slave setup for the company I worked for and the main hard drive failed in the master server. This server ran the website and some internal applications so it […]

vQmod to change the date of Opencart 2.0.1.0 and 2.0.1.1 to U.S. Format
Posted on March 5, 2015 by Chris Couture in OpenCart Stuff.I created an extension that changes the date format for OpenCart 2.0.1.0 and 2.0.1.1 to be in U.S. format (01/13/2015). This extension is available for free on the OpenCart Website. This extension doesn’t require you to make any modifications to the code since it uses vQmod. You will need to install vQmod in order for […]

Installing Webmin, Bacula 7 and Bacula-Web on CentOS 7
Posted on March 1, 2015 by Chris Couture in Linux Stuff.Kind of overkill to have Bacula installed at my home but if you’ve read some of the other things I’ve got going on (which I will post when I get a chance), you will see that everything I do is a little overkill. I’m using it to backup my home automation server, iTunes server […]
