Linux Tools

November 24, 2024 — Thomas Van Ness Leavitt

Some of the tools I use to manage / operate this site and server (and others). Will be updated as I think of things to add.

The server this run on is a minimal DigitalOcean "droplet" running i Ubuntu Linux . $4/mo.

Secure Shell (ssh) is great (vast improvement, security-wise, on telnet, which is what I started my career with), Mosh improves it considerably.

The web server running on this system is Apache (nothing exotic), was the easiest to get PHP running on (used with another project hosted on this server, www.gospelofthomas.net.

My shell environment is "bash". Default. I have and do use other shells, such as "ksh" (what I started with on Sun Solaris) and "zsh" (what I use on my desktop, an iMac running MacOS).
