How to install Tonido private cloud server on Ubuntu Linux

 

Tonido is a free application that allows you to access files on your computer from a web browser, from your handheld or any DLNA capable device. The Tonido server enables you to sync files between different devices and to share them securely with your friends so you have a private and secure Cloud.

Tonido is available for all major operting systems incl. Linux, Mac and Windows, there are also apps available for Android, Iphone and Blackberry. Tonido can also be used to backup files from your phone on your desktop. Please note that Tonido is not open source software, but there is a free versions available that I will cover in this tutorial.

This tutorial is about installing Tonido server on Ubuntu Linux.

Tonido installation

The following installation instructions are for a 64 bit system, for 32 bit systems I request you to visit here.

Dual boot : Windows8 and Debian mint

if you want to dual-boot Windows 8 and Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 on a computer with UEFI firmware, this steps given in this tutorial will work also.

Getting From Here To There: To successfully set up a dual-boot system with Windows 7 and Linux Mint Debian 2, you’ll need to have access to a Windows 7 computer. After that, enough space has to be recovered from the C drive to use for installing LMDE 2. Then you’ll download an installation image of LMDE 2, transfer it to a USB stick and then install it alongside Windows 7 on the target hard disk.

To install LMDE 2, the following partitions have to be created:

• Root partition – mounted at /
• Home partition – mounted at /home
• Swap partition

If you’re new to disk partitioning in Linux, take a moment to read Beginners to disks and disk partitions in Linux before embarking on this fun adventure.

owncloud : introduction & features

How to set up networking between Docker containers

As you may be aware, Docker container technology has emerged as a viable lightweight alternative to full-blown virtualization. There are a growing number of use cases of Docker that the industry adopted in different contexts, for example, enabling rapid build environment, simplifying configuration of your infrastructure, isolating applications in multi-tenant environment, and so on. While you can certainly deploy an application sandbox in a standalone Docker container, many real-world use cases of Docker in production environments may involve deploying a complex multi-tier application in an ensemble of multiple containers, where each container plays a specific role (e.g., load balancer, LAMP stack, database, UI).

Docker : An Introduction to LXC

Docker is an open source project, which packages applications and their dependencies in a virtual container that can run on any Linux server. Docker has immense possibilities as it facilitates the running of several OS's on the same server.

Technology is changing faster than styles in than fashion world, and there are many new entrants specific to the open source, cloud, virtualisation, and DevOps technologies. Docker is one of them. The aim of this article is to give you a clear idea of Docker, its architecture and its functions, before getting started with it. 

Docker is a new open source tool based on Linux container technology(LXC), designed to change how you think about workload/application deployments. It helps you to easily create light-weight, self-sufficient, portable application containers that can be shared, modified and easily deployed to different infrastructure such as cloud/compute servers or bare metal servers. The Idea is to provide a comprehensive abstraction layer that allows developers to 'containerise' or 'package' any application  and have it run on any infrastructure.

Docker is based on container virtualisation and it is not new. There is no better tool than Docker to help manage kernel level technologies such as LXC, cgroups and a copy-on-write filesystems. It helps us manage the complicated kernel layer technologies through tools and APIs.

Cloud Computing Basics Part - 1

CLOUD-COMPUTING ( New Era Of Computing )

Clearly, there is a need for a baseline definition and a discussion of the many aspects comprising cloud computing.I believes that a detailed characterization of cloud computing must include three things:
1. The consumption model. Cloud computing offers a unique way to consume compute, network, and storage resources.
2. The services model. Cloud computing can be used as a platform for different activities up and down the technology stack.
3. The deployment model. Cloud computing is not a one-size-fits-all platform.Rather, there are numerous ways to deploy and utilize clouds.
