fail2ban A while ago, I was checking servers’ logs to see any suspicious activities going on from outside. I noticed that the servers both staging/testing and production servers are receiving a lot of brute force SSH attacks from variety of countries which are shown in table below. List of IP Addresses ( who are doing SSH Brute Forcing ) ** Information on the table gathered from: [ https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-demo ] Ban failed attempts Although servers have no password login, they are kept brute forcing on SSH port....

In this post, deployment process of an application with Ansible will be explained. Traditionally applications can be deployed in different ways, quite similar approach to deploy applications like in Ansible is executing bash script which has ssh commands. To give an example, Travis continuous integration has a feature where a bash script can be defined to deploy application and through given instructions within bash script, application can be successfully deployed....

In some moments, Youtube algorithm is working perfect, but sometimes it shows a video from ten years ago from nowhere. For the moments where it shows and suggests videos/playlists to us, we might want to save the list of playlist and watch in some other time. It could be on a plane, train, bus, whenever you are planning to spent some time. However, taking the URL of a playlist and saving it to your cute note program might not be sufficient enough....

In this post, I will be describing to setup a workflow to build and release your Latex files through Github actions. First of all, keep in mind that this post is not about what is Latex and how to use it. It is extremely nice to integrate daily development tools such as CI/CD to your preparation of paper, without any hassle. Why is that because it is cool to track of what has been changed on a paper over time....

It is known that gRPC is very common communication method between microservices, it can be used for internal and external communication....

In recent post, which is Setup Highly Available Kubernetes Cluster with HAProxy , a highly available Kubernetes cluster is created. However, once I started to dig in and deploy some stuff to cluster, I realized that I am not able to connect any deployed application or services. For instance, when an web application is deployed using HAProxy load balancer (endpoint), and check from kubectl (on client side), its status is running....

The main purpose of this blog post a simple walkthrough of setting up Kubernetes cluster with external HAProxy which will be the endpoint where our kubectl client communicates over. Node specifications for this setup is given as shown in the table below. Keep in mind that all of them has access to each other with password and without password. The environment which Kubernetes cluster will stay is running on OpenStack. It means that once a configuration (ssh keys, hosts, and etc) is done for example master 1 then all other nodes could be initialized through snapshot of master 1....

VPN Kuralım Bugün sizlere kendinize ait VPN sistemi nasıl kurulur, onu anlatmak istiyorum, daha önce İngilizce olarak, yayınladım fakat Türkçe bir kaynağın da faydalı olabileceğini düşündüm. Burada anlatılanlar, ubuntu ailesine (16.04,18.04) ait sunucular üzerinde test edilmiştir. İlk olarak bulut hizmeti sağlayan bir şirketten bu DigitalOcean, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure veya Amazon olabilir, sunucu kiralıyorsunuz, en ucuzu ve makul olanı DigitalOcean tarafından sunulan aylık 5 dolar olan sunucu diyebilirim. Sunucuyu kiraladıktan ve ssh bağlantısını sağladıktan sonra VPN kurulumuna geçebiliriz....
