Moving away from writing this site in org-mode   note

+
+

+I’ve been writing this website in Org files, and exporting them to HTML. This is easy to get working, but working with raw HTML and CSS seems like a better opportunity for learning, and will let me do more customization without a bunch of org-export knowledge. +

+ +

+I’ve rewritten the homepage with just HTML, and started working on my own CSS style. I’ve been using org features for creating the RSS feed, so I’ll have to figure that out before I change all pages. +

+ +

+Org-exported HTML also has many many features, including many that I don’t need, and generates larger file sizes than I need. +

Prepping for v2 of my salt repo   note qubes

I’ve massively restructured my salt repo and added enough features that I’m going to make a new repository and release it again in full, as a 2.0 version. This should be done within the next week or two.

Examples of installing software in QubesOS with Saltstack   post qubes

+

-Here are some various methods of installing software that I’ve used in my personal salt configuration: +Some demonstrations of installing software in 3 different ways in qubes via Saltstack.

-
-

pkg.installed

-
-

-Here’s /srv/user_salt/pkgs/accounting.sls as an example. It uses the simplest way of installing programs, which is by using pkg.installed and passing it a list of packages to pull from a qube’s repositories. This is the typically the most preferable way to install software if the desired package is already in your distro’s repositories. -

- -
-
# Install accounting tools
-accounting--install-apps:
-  pkg.installed:
-    - pkgs:
-      - hledger # Command-line plain text accounting
-      - gnucash # Graphical GNU accounting suite

Convenient torrenting with qBittorrent   post

-Here’s /srv/user_salt/pkgs/signal.sls as an example. It places an installation script, /srv/user_salt/pkgs/install-scripts/signal-repo.sh into a qube and executes it to install the Signal messenger. +Quick guide for searching and downloading media with qBittorrent.

- -
-
...
-
-signal--repo-script:
-  file.managed:
-    - name: /usr/bin/install-repo # this is where the installation script is placed
-    - source: salt://pkgs/install-scripts/signal-repo.sh # This is where the installation script was sourced
-    - user: root # sets the owner of the file, you can usually default to root
-    - group: root # sets the group of the file, you can usually default to root
-    - mode: 777 # sets the permissions of the file, you can usually default to 777 (any user on the qube has permissions)
-
-# This simply executes the install-repo script in a qube
-'install-repo':
-  cmd.run
-
-
- -

-Here’s the installation script that’s ran: -

-
-
-

/srv/user_salt/pkgs/install-scripts/signal-repo.sh

-
-
-
# Retrieves Signal's key for verifying the package
-# The request is proxied through 127.0.0.1:8082 to allow the template qube to access the internet
-sudo curl --proxy 127.0.0.1:8082 -s https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee -a /usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg > /dev/null

Move a binary file into /usr/bin

-Here’s /srv/user_salt/pkgs/st.sls as an example. It very simply takes a binary file that’s part of the salt repository, and moves it into the ~/usr/bin/ directory in a qube. -

-
# Installs my build of st terminal
-/usr/bin/st:
-  file.managed:
