OpenSUSE Leap vs Tumbleweed

OpenSUSE Leap features a level of stability unmatched by any other distribution: better security, better testing, and much more free, open-source software unique to SUSE and OpenSUSE. It brings a huge variety of the newest software, convenient migration to SLE, transactional updates, server roles, scalable images for the cloud and Linux laptops. Let’s say it’s the fully stable version of the family. It is also recommended in case you want to use it without any problems and do not expect any surprises.

The main advantage is the stability but the packages are older and are not updated frequently. For users who want more new features while sacrificing a bit of stability, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is born.

The Tumbleweed distribution is a pure rolling release version (with continuous development, no periodic releases) that offers stable versions of all software instead of rigid periodic release cycles. This project is for users who want the latest but stable software.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is distributed with an iso image that we can install normally but it is also possible to jump from Leap.

Making the process

Note: The process is safe but not free of bugs and some instability that may affect your system. So make a backup and make sure you really want to do the process.

So, I open a terminal and check that I am running OpenSUSE Leap using neofetch

sudo zypper in neofetch

neofetch

Now proceed to upgrade the distro completely

sudo zypper up

After this, make a backup of the current repositories.

sudo mkdir /etc/zypp/repos.d/old
sudo mv /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo /etc/zypp/repos.d/old

You don’t want to add any more or use any third party repositories.

Now add the official Tumbleweed repositories:

sudo zypper ar -f -c http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss repo-oss
sudo zypper ar -f -c http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss repo-non-oss
sudo zypper ar -f -c http://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/ repo-update
sudo zypper ar -f -c http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/debug repo-debug

Actually, the last repository is not mandatory but recommended.

The repositories loaded on the system should be there before you start the process of switching to Tumbleweed.

sudo zypper lr -u

And perform the process by running:

sudo zypper dup

There will be a lot of changes so be patient.

When finished, reboot the system to complete the process.

Then view the change with neofecth.

So, enjoy it

We already know that in Linux we have many different tools. One of them is the term that has proven to be a great help in many tasks such as downloading files and editing text.

This time we have a terminal tool created with Rust called Ox. Ox is a code editor with a terminal interface that consumes few resources and can help a lot with programming.

Says the program’s developer:

OX IS A CODE EDITOR. IT WAS WRITTEN IN RUST USING ANSI ESCAPE SEQUENCES. IT ASSISTS DEVELOPERS WITH PROGRAMMING BY PROVIDING SEVERAL TOOLS TO SPEED UP AND MAKE PROGRAMMING EASIER AND A REFRESHING ALTERNATIVE TO HEAVILY BLOATED AND RESOURCE HUNGRY EDITORS

Therefore, we can install it on any computer, including the oldest ones.

On the other hand, Ox takes many advantages from applications like Vi, Nano, Emacs, and other veteran programs. All this without dependencies and making it quite light and easy to compile. So few that this is the entire list:

• Rust language
• Termion
• Unicode-rs
• Clap
• Regex
• Rum
• Serde
• Shellexpand

So, let us install it.

Install Ox on OpenSUSE 15.2

Ox is built in the Rust language so we need to install it first.

How to install Rust on OpenSUSE 15.2?

After that, you can start installing the application by running the following command

cargo install --git https://github.com/curlpipe/ox

This will start the whole process of downloading dependencies. When finished, you can invoke the editor with the ox command.

First steps with Ox

When the program is properly installed you can run it from the terminal

ox

Also, you can open a file or specify the path where you want the new file to be created

ox /path/file

There you can start editing code. If you want to save changes, you can do it with the key combination CTRL + S but if it’s the first time you modify the file, you have to choose a name with CTRL + w

Also, you can open a new tab by pressing the CTRL + N

So, you can navigate between tabs with the CTRL + H and CTRL + D keys, and as you can see it’s quite easy to use.

Conclusion

Ox has a long way to go, that’s true, but it’s also an interesting project that adds more functionalities every day and allows us to edit code from the terminal, being easy to use. This gives even more power to the terminal and gives us solutions in multiple environments.

Install GLPI on OpenSUSE 15.2

1.- Install LAMP on OpenSUSE 15.2

As it is well known, GLPI is a web application created with PHP. Therefore, it is necessary to have a web server configured that can “serve” the application.

On the other hand, the application also requires a database manager to store all the necessary information.

Therefore, you need to have a LAMP server in OpenSUSE 15. Luckily, we have a post that talks about it

How to install LAMP on OpenSUSE 15.2 / 15.1?

Also, you need to install these PHP modules:

php7-ldap php7-opcache php7-APCu php7-xmlrpc php7-exif php7-fileinfo php7-zlib

Now you can continue.

2.- Creating a new database for GLPI

The next step is to create a new database and user for GLPI. This is necessary as a security measure and to assist in the configuration of GLPI.

So access the MariaDB console as follows:

:~$ sudo mysql -u root -p

And start creating the database and the new user. As well as the necessary permissions on it.

> CREATE DATABASE glpidb;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON glpidb.* TO 'glpiuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> EXIT;

Now, we can download GLPI.

3.- Download and install GLPI on OpenSUSE 15.2

The download of GLPI can be done with the wget command. And at the moment of writing this tutorial, the last stable version is 9.4.5.

Most probably you already have wget installed, but it’s always good to be sure:

:~$ sudo zypper in wget

And now, yes, we proceed to start the download:

:~$ cd /tmp/
:~$ wget -c https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi/releases/download/9.4.5/glpi-9.4.5.tgz

Once the download is complete, we proceed to decompress the file.

:~$ tar -xvf glpi-9.4.5.tgz

Then, the generated folder must be moved to the Apache root directory in OpenSUSE. And then, assign permissions to it and indicate that the owner of that folder is Apache.

:~$ sudo mv glpi /srv/www/htdocs/
:~$ sudo chmod 755 -R /srv/www/htdocs/glpi
:~$ sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /srv/www/htdocs/glpi

Now, a new VirtualHost has to be created to handle the running of GLPI. To do this, create a new configuration file:

:~$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/glpi.conf

And add the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin admin@your_domain.com
   DocumentRoot "/srv/www/htdocs/glpi"
   ServerName glpi.osradar.opensuse

  <Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/glpi">
      Options FollowSymlinks
      AllowOverride All
      Require all granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save the changes and close the file. Remember that the domain data has to be changed. I am using glpi.osradar.opensuse as an example.

Then, enable the PHP rewrite module and restart Apache.

:~$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Now, complete the installation using the web interface.

4.- Install GLPI on OpenSUSE 15.2 (II)

Now all you have to do is open the web browser you want and access the server name you set up on the VirtualHost and complete the installation. In my case glpi.osradar.opensuse and you will see the following:

Choose the language of the installation and click on the Ok button. Then, you will see the license terms.

By accepting the license terms, you can choose whether to do an installation from 0 or an upgrade. In this case, it is an installation from 0 so click on the Install button.

On the next screen, the installer will scan the server to make sure everything is OK. Some extensions may be missing and you will be marked with an alert, but if they are mandatory, they will be shown in red. Then click on Continue.

Then, on the next screen, you will have to write the credentials for the connection to the database, previously created.

The installer will make a test connection. If it is successful, you will see the following screen where you need to choose the database created previously.

If everything went well with the database, you will see this image.

Then the installer will ask us if we want to send usage statistics to the development team.

Then, you will see several more installation screens. And in the end you will see one with the default users and passwords.

After that, you will see the Log in screen.

In this case, we will access the administrator user that is glpi and the password is glpi.

Finally, you will see the dashboard.

So, that is it. You can start changing the default password.

Enjoy it.

Conclusion

In this post, you have learned to install GLPI on OpenSUSE 15.2. GLPI is an application to control the informatics equipment of your company. It is an administrative tool, more than anything. It is created in PHP and uses MariaDB as a database manager.

Recently a new version of the Linux kernel has been released. As always it updates many important drivers and adds support for new features. If you want to know more about this, read our post

Kernel Linux 5.8 released

However, this version of the kernel will not automatically come into our distribution unless we install it manually. One such distribution is OpenSUSE 15.2. So this is the goal of the post.

On the other hand, it is good to give you a warning and that is that if your system is very stable and you don’t have a real need to upgrade the kernel, you better not do it. This is because the kernel is where the drivers for all the hardware are located.

So you know the process brings advantages but also some risks.

So, let’s get started.

Install Linux kernel 5.8

First, check the version of the kernel that is running OpenSUSE 15.2:

:~$ uname -r
5.3.18-lp152.19-default

And you will see something like this:

OpenSUSE 15.2 has the 5.3 kernel installed by default.

OpenSUSE has a lot of fairly stable community repositories for many different packages. And there is also one for the Linux kernel. So, let’s add it.

:~$ sudo zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ kernel

After it’s properly added. We’re going to change the priority so that when we update the system it takes this repository into account.

:~$ sudo zypper mr -p 70 kernel
Repository 'kernel' priority has been set to 70.

After that, you need to refresh zypper to be able to recognize the new repository. When you use it for the first time, it will ask you to accept the GPG keys.

:~$ sudo zypper refresh

Now if we proceed with the installation. To do this, we must partially update the distribution but from the recently added repository.

:~$ sudo zypper dup -r kernel

When you run this command, you will notice that zypper will find some errors. This is normal, we are installing a new version of the kernel and from another repository.

To solve these problems, choose 1 in each question.

Then, reboot the system.

Once the system has started, it checks the changes.

:~$ uname -r
5.8.0-2.g9bc0044-default

And that is it. Keep in mind that this method eliminates the kernel by default, so it is a risk.

So, share this post and join our Telegram Channel.

Install Docker on OpenSUSE

An essential reason for installing a docker is the handling and execution of containers. This brings as a main advantage that we can deploy applications without worrying about the dependencies or the system that runs it.

On the other hand, we will be able to create our own images of our applications and these will be able to be installed in any system with Docker.

OpenSUSE is a community operating system sponsored by SUSE. However, it is quite robust, reliable and secure and that is why it is used on many servers worldwide.

So let’s go for it.

First, open a terminal session and update the system.

:~$ sudo zypper up

This will cause all pending security patches to be installed and it is a good idea to do this before starting any installation.

Fortunately, Docker and Docker-compose are available from the official OpenSUSE repositories. While it is not the latest version, it is a fairly stable version that guarantees us functionality.

So run the following command:

:~$ sudo zypper in docker docker-compose

Accept the installation and then the process will begin.

Testing the installation

Once the installation has been successfully completed, the first thing to do is to start the Docker service.

:~$ sudo systemctl start docker

And then, you can check the status of the service to make sure it’s working properly.

:~$ sudo systemctl status docker

As you can see in the image, the service is running normally.

Also, if you want Docker to run as soon as the system starts, which is highly recommended, use this other command:

:~$ sudo systemctl enable docker

Now we can get a real example, check if Docker is ready for the job or not.

To do this we will use a test image that Docker puts at our disposal. You can execute it with the following command:

:~$ sudo docker run --rm hello-world

As you see in the image above. Docker’s installation has been successful.

To verify the current version of Docker, run the following command:

:~$ sudo docker version

However, if you want to use Docker without root privileges, just use the following command:

:~$ sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)

After that reboot the system and that is it. Docker is ready for the work.

Conclusion

Docker’s technology is a wonder if you work with large-scale servers. Its practicality when depleting applications makes it an alternative to virtual machines. And now you have learned to install it on OpenSUSE 15.2 / OpenSUSE 15.1.

So, you can also learn how to install Docker on other systems.

According to the project’s website, Atop is “an ASCII full-screen performance monitor for Linux that is capable of reporting the activity of all processes”.

Likewise, Atop allows you to monitor in real time the consumption of memory, CPU, swap and other computer resources. And using the netatop kernel module you can monitor networks as well.

So, Atop stands out for being light, fast and presenting an easy to manipulate interface. It also has the following features:

• Resource consumption by all processes.
• Utilization of all relevant resources.
• Permanent logging of resource utilization.
• Highlight critical resources

And many more features.

So, let’s install it on OpenSUSE 15.1.

Install and use atop on OpenSUSE 15.1

Atop is located in the OpenSUSE monitoring repository which makes it fairly easy to install. But first we must add the repository.

So open a terminal session and run the following command:

:~$ sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/openSUSE_Leap_15.1/ monitoring

After it is added correctly, it has to be reprioritized so that we don’t have problems installing it.

:~$ sudo zypper mr -p 70 monitoring

After that, we will have to refresh all OpenSUSE repositories.

:~$ sudo zypper refresh

Remember that the first time you use this repository, it will ask you to accept the GPG key of the repository. To do this, press the a key.

Finally, install atop on OpenSUSE using the following command:

:~$ sudo zypper in atop

Now we can use it.

Basic use of atop on OpenSUSE 15.1

Remember that the application interface is only for the terminal, so to launch it you just need to use the atop command.

:~$ atop

So, this is the default screen.

As I said before, atop is very easy to use. You only need to type a key to activate its features or its different views. Of course, which are they? Well, by pressing the h key, we will enter the help screen that will show them.

There you will have everything you can do with atop. Everything very simple, for example, I’m going to try the statistics of memory consumption. To do this I press the m key.

So, enjoy it.

Conclusion

To monitor systems there are many different applications, but atop is consolidated as a fast and stable alternative to do it. It is highly recommended to have it at hand in servers and even in a personal computer.

As we know, PHP is a programming language widely used all over the world. In fact, most of the web sites and applications use it. Therefore, it is to be assumed that most servers need it. So it is a good idea to install the latest stable version of it.

We already know that OpenSUSE is a solid and stable rock. But a lot of this is due to the testing process they do on the packages. The problem is that the versions of the packages are frozen and as time goes by they get old.

So, let us start.

Install PHP 7.4 on OpenSUSE 15.1

Installing Apache web server

So let’s get to work.

First, I’m going to install Apache web server to have a server to run PHP 7.4 on.

So, open a new terminal session and run the following:

:~$ sudo zypper in apache2

And then we proceed to start the service:

:~$ sudo systemctl enable apache2
:~$ sudo systemctl start apache2

After this, a new rule must be set in the firewall so that it can run without problems.

:~$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
success
:~$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
success

With this Apache will be working properly.

Installing PHP 7.4

PHP 7.4 is available to OpenSUSE using an official repository called Devel. This repository in turn contains many tools for programming, such as languages and more. Within this repository there is a special one for PHP. This is the one we will use.

So add it with the following command:

:~$ sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/php/openSUSE_Leap_15.1/ php

After it has been added, it sets a lower priority for packages to be downloaded from this repository. Do this with the following command:

:~$ zypper mr -p 70 php

The next step is to refresh all the repositories. When you first use this repository, it will ask you to accept the GPG key.

:~$ sudo zypper refresh

Then you can install PHP 7.4 on OpenSUSE 15.1 as well as some of the main PHP modules.

:~$ sudo zypper in php7 php apache2-mod_php7 php7-curl php7-xmlreader php7-zip php7-pdo php7-gd php7-json php7-mysql php7-mbstring php7-openssl

Now, enable PHP 7 on Apache and restart it.

:~$ sudo a2enmod php7
:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Now, let us test it.

Create a file called test.php in /srv/www/htdocs/ and add the following:

:~$ sudo nano /srv/www/htdocs/test.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Save the changes and close the file.

Then, open your favorite web browser and go to http://your-server/test.php and you will see the following:

As you can see in the image PHP 7.4 is installed and working correctly.

So, enjoy it.

Conclusion

Having PHP 7.4 is a good alternative to improve the performance of our web applications created with this language. And now we know how to do it with OpenSUSE 15.1, what remains is that you can take advantage of all these improvements of the language.

If you want to know all the news of this new version I invite you to read them in this link.

The MySQL repository

MySQL was acquired by Oracle and this unleashed a hysteria in the open-source community. And with reason, it became difficult for Oracle to focus on MySQL having Oracle its own database manager. However, MySQL has continued to improve little by little and the proof of this is version 8 of the program.

This version has brought a lot of important news and makes MySQL work smoothly and securely. If we add to this a system like OpenSUSE then our data is in good hands.

For it, Oracle puts to our disposition a specialized repository for OpenSUSE that facilitates a lot the process. In this repository, we can install both the server instance and the client.

Install the latest version of MySQL on OpenSUSE 15 /15.1

The first step is to update the system completely. With it, we will have the last security patches in the system.

~$ sudo zypper up

Then, make sure you have wget installed. If not, you can install it with this command:

:~$ sudo zypper in wget

Now download the RPM package that configures the MySQL repository in OpenSUSE.

:~$ wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql80-community-release-sl15-3.noarch.rpm

Next, install the package.

:~$ sudo rpm -ivh mysql80-community-release-sl15-3.noarch.rpm

Next, import the GPG key for the repository.

:~$ sudo rpm --import /etc/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql

Now, refresh the repository information using zypper.

:~$ sudo zypper refresh

And finally, install MySQL 8 on OpenSUSE 15 / 15.1.

:~# sudo zypper install mysql-community-server

Then, check the installed version.

:~$ mysql --version 
mysql  Ver 8.0.17 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)

And that is it.

Conclusion

In this post, you have learned to install the latest version of MySQL on OpenSUSE. With this, you can have a system ready and ready to store data in this fabulous manager.

Configure a FTP server with vsftpd

vsftpd is a daemon that allows you to install and configure an FTP server. It is quite used for being very flexible in its configuration and secure. For example, it is the default in OpenSUSE and CentOS 7 but can be used in almost any Linux distribution.

Its configuration files are quite easy to understand because they are well documented. So this makes it the main option for our purpose.

So let us start.

Install and configure vsftpd on OpenSUSE 15.1

First, we must install it. The big advantage is that vsftpd is in the OpenSUSE repositories so we can install it using zypper.

:~$ sudo zypper in vsftpd

Now comes the configuration for everything to work properly.

The configuration file is this /etc/vsftpd.conf. If you open it you will see that it is very extensive, but it is because it has many commented lines. It is very well documented.

Before we edit it, let’s create a backup.

:~$ sudo cp /etc/vsftpd.conf /etc/vsftpd.conf.bak

There are several things we need to edit.

:~$ sudo nano /etc/vsftpd.conf

Firstly, we must make the service “listen”. IPV4 and disable IPV6.

listen=YES
#listen_ipv6=NO

Then, allow writing.

write_enable=YES

There is a clause that defines port 20 as the default. I have commented on it and used the listen_port clause to define another port. For example, port 21. It can be the one you want.

#connect_from_port_20=YES
listen_port=21

It is very likely that if you work with FTP you will need to create users. To do this, it is necessary to cage them before creating them. That is to say, that each user cannot upload or download files from other users and even less from the system. In other words, they are isolated to their folder. To do this, add the following lines.

chroot_local_user=YES
chroot_list_enable=YES
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

Then, create the file specified in chroot_list_file and add our system user there

:~$ sudo nano /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
angelo

The pasv_min_port and pasv_max_port clauses define which ports FTP can use to be in passive mode. You have to work in the Firewall with them.

We can use the grep and cat commands to make the file more readable. With them I will show all the lines except the ones that start with a #.

:~$ sudo cat /etc/vsftpd.conf | grep -v "^#"

At this point, the configuration file would look more or less like this.

Now you have to open the necessary ports for vsftpd to work.

:~$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=21/tcp --permanent
Success
:~$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=30000-30100/tcp --permanent
Success
:~$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Success

Now let’s create the test user service.

:~$ sudo useradd -d /home/user1 -m -s /bin/bash user1
:~$ sudo passwd

Finally, you start the service and check its status.

:~$ sudo systemctl start vsftpd
:~$ sudo systemctl status vsftpd
● vsftpd.service - Vsftpd ftp daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/vsftpd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2019-06-05 10:44:50 -04; 32min ago
 Main PID: 2888 (vsftpd)
    Tasks: 1 (limit: 4915)
   CGroup: /system.slice/vsftpd.service
           └─2888 /usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd.conf

The anonymous user is enabled by default. Its folder is /srv/ftp/ you can create alli files for download. You can even access it from your web browser. ftp://your-server/

Now, it’s time to install an FTP client. In this case I will use Filezilla.

Using Filezilla as the FTP client on OpenSUSE

First you have to install it.

:~$ sudo zypper in filezilla

Then you have to create the connection. To do this, go to the File menu and click on the Site Manager option. In the window that appears, configure your connection. I’ve done it this way.

And this is it. Now you can start enjoying the FTP server. Note that I’ve already uploaded a test file.

Enjoy it.

We have already talked about ArangoDB in osradar because we like it. However, I will explain briefly what it is. ArangoDB is a NoSQL database manager. Actually, it uses a language implementation called AQL. It has a community license and a business license which makes it ideal for multiple projects. ArangoDB has earned the respect of the community and large companies for its scalability and replication capacity with multiple us.

So, let us get ArangoDB on OpenSUSE.

Install ArangoDB on OpenSUSE

ArangoDB does not leave many things to chance, that is why it has multiple installers for the main Linux distributions. And OpenSUSE is, so the installation will be done from the official repository of the application.

For this, first of all, it is necessary to update the system.

:~$ sudo zypper up

Then, add the ArangoDB repository.

:~$ sudo zypper --no-gpg-checks --gpg-auto-import-keys addrepo https://download.arangodb.com/arangodb34/RPM/arangodb.repo

Next, import the GPG key for the repository.

:~$ sudo zypper --no-gpg-checks --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh

Then, install ArangoDB.

:~$ sudo zypper -n install arangodb3=3.4.5

And that’s it. So, it is necessary to configure ArangoDB before using it.

Configure ArangoDB on OpenSUSE

Set a root password and access to the shell

First, we must define a root password. To do this, run the following command:

:~$ sudo arango-secure-installation

After that, you can start ArangoDB and use the shell.

:~$ sudo systemctl start arangodb3
:~$ arangosh

However, it is possible to enable the ArangoDB web interface.

Enabling the ArangoDB Web interface on OpenSUSE

ArangoDB’s web interface is quite friendly. Not only will it allow a better manipulation of the data but it will give us access to other functions. So it is a good idea to enable it.

To do this, you need to edit some configuration files:

:~$ sudo nano /etc/arangodb3/arangod.conf

Inside the file, locate the [server] section and in endpoint place the IP address of the server where ArangoDB is installed. There are several examples of confirmation. You can add a domain or if you are running it locally use localhost or 127.0.0.1. Also, there will be shown the default port of the application.

Press CTRL + O to save the changes and CTRL + X to close the file.

We have to do the same with this other file:

:~$ sudo nano /etc/arangodb3/arangosh.conf

After that, open the ArangoDB port. And restart the ArangoDB service.

:~$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=8529/tcp --permanent
success
:~$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
success
:~$ sudo systemctl restart arangodb3

Next, open your web browser and go to your server using the port. For example, http://192.168.250.5:8529

As you can see, you can now log in. Use the root user and the password you defined before. Next, select the database you will use.

Finally, you will see the main screen.

So, enjoy it.

Conclusion

OpenSUSE is a fairly stable system that is used for many purposes. Among them, there is the server one. So it is possible to install and configure such a new tool as ArangoDB without many problems. With this tool, you will have a powerful and very scalable database manager.
