Yin and Yang

CHARLES AUER (dot) NET

Welcome

This site was originally written as a place to store the various tutorials and scripts I created while working on my home server. A few of the tutorials, such as the one for Samba are written for a specific purpose. For the Samba tutorials, I wrote it for setting up a standalone Samba server with authentication using local accounts only.

What’s New?

  • I have moved my site to a new domain, but have added redirects so there should be no broken links for people coming from the old domain.
  • Added support for HTTPS, so you can how access my site via SSL by going to https://charlesauer.net, if you so desire.
  • I have verified that my tutorials work with Ubuntu, Debian, and CentOS and added a disclaimer noting when they were tested and what OS they were tested on.

Scripts

I have also posted some scripts that I have written. The most well known one is the VirtualBox startup script I did a few years ago, but I also have a a script to mirror directories via robocopy.

Tutorials

I have posted a few tutorials that that explain how to install and configure some of the services I had problems with originally - namely Samba and OpenSSH.

Links

You will also find links to some interesting resources I have found. Some are general references to building web pages/best practices and some are links to blogs from different members of the Ubuntu Forums.
