Laravel Envoy and Dynamic Resolution of AWS Server IPs

admin — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 08:41:25 +0000

The issue is I have two main clients with two different AWS accounts, and they run the same web app, with slight variations, as well as a number of unique web apps. We also run lots of workers which may …

Apache 2.4 mod_remoteip

admin — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 09:30:06 +0000

I’ve been struggling to get this working in a way to log the requesting client IP and not the load-balancer IP when the server is behind an AWS load-balancer. In the end it was very simple: As /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/remoteip.conf RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For …

admin — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 06:46:10 +0000

Offline Mutt to replace Thunderbird on Ubuntu (5 of 4)…eh?

admin — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:08:28 +0000

And one more that I’d forgotten about: using notify-send to show a popup when an email is received by offlineimap. Most of this was cribbed from…somewhere I forget. I think I just changed the parsing and left most of the …

admin — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:00:57 +0000

It’s about time I got back to this one… So to bring together everything over the last 4 posts and to cover how offlineimap and msmtp can work together with Mutt, this is the config that’s needed: # Show unicode …

Offline Mutt to replace Thunderbird on Ubuntu (3 of 4)

admin — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:41:02 +0000

The previous post looked at setting up offlineimap for managing received emails, and this post will look at setting up msmtp for managing sending emails. The main reason I don’t like to use Mutt’s built-in SMTP to send directly to …

Offline Mutt to replace Thunderbird on Ubuntu (2 of 4)

admin — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:24:36 +0000

It doesn’t make sense to look at the Mutt config first, even though that is at the heart of everything. So first of all I’ll cover offlineimap. This package will replicate the IMAP folders from your email provider (Google Apps …

Offline Mutt to replace Thunderbird on Ubuntu (1 of 4)

admin — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 05:13:34 +0000

I’ve fallen out with Thunderbird recently and the geek in me has been interested in getting Mutt up and running for a while. But I needed certain functionality and it’s taken a little while to put all of the pieces …

admin — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 02:13:38 +0000

Overnight another team member updated the main blogs to the newest version of WP, and subsequently some plugins we use failed to work correctly. The plugins display a list of items which are retrieved via an API call to our …
