Using Apache Mod Rewrite to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS and from a different TLD

If there is a single domain and you want to remove www and force https so the final domain will be in the format:

https://domain.com


In .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^ https://domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

 

If the domain has a secondary top level domain such as .co.uk, you will need to ensure that secondary domain has a valid ssl cert if you want to redirect from that.


Use the following rules to also handle redirects from a second TLD to the main TLD:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.co.uk

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^ https://domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

 

You will need to test all  the rules with the following urls which iterates through all permutations  (The following include some Drupal specific URIs for good measure too, and also assumes you have an about page).  All the requests should resolve to https://domain.com/uri

  1. https://domain.com/
  2. https://www.domain.com/
  3. https://domain.com/about
  4. https://www.domain.com/about
  5. https://domain.com/user/login
  6. https://www.domain.com/user/login
  7. https://domain.co.uk/
  8. https://www.domain.co.uk/
  9. https://domain.co.uk/about
  10. https://www.domain.co.uk/about
  11. https://domain.co.uk/user/login
  12. https://www.domain.co.uk/user/login
  13. http://domain.com/
  14. http://www.domain.com/
  15. http://domain.com/about
  16. http://www.domain.com/about
  17. http://domain.com/user/login
  18. http://www.domain.com/user/login
  19. http://domain.co.uk/
  20. http://www.domain.co.uk/
  21. http://domain.co.uk/about
  22. http://www.domain.co.uk/about
  23. http://domain.co.uk/user/login
  24. http://www.domain.co.uk/user/login

Git initialise new repository with existing source

Image
If you have an existing folder with code you want to push (commit) into a new fresh git repository you need to first create the repository in GitHub or Bitbucket. You also need to have git installed on your local machine. To start off in the directory you have your existing code project git init Connect to a remote repository git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:username/reponame.git Add files to the commit git add . Set the commit message git commit -m 'Initialise repo' Push files to the repo git push origin master Now the codebase is pushed into master branch in the git repo. Photo credit:  @synkevych

The Linux Filesystem

  / - The Root Directory System root /bin - User Binaries In single user mode this is where user apps such as firefox etc are stored /sbin is similar in that is is where administration binaries are stored. /boot - Static Boot Files GRUB, linux kernels are stored here, needed to be able to boot the system. Config for boot is stored in /etc /dev - Device Files Devices are exposed as files. Eg /dev/sda represents the first SATA drive. It also contains psuedo-devices. For example: /dev/random produces random numbers. /dev/null returns no output and discards all input. /etc - Configuration Files Contains systems wide configuration files. User specific config files live in each users /home/{user} folder /home - Home Folders User specific files and user specific configuration. /lib - Shared Libraries Contains essential libraries consumed by binaries in /bin and /sbin. /usr/lib contains libraries consumed by binaries in /usr/bin /lost+found Recovered Files On system crash, recovered file...

Docker introduction

Image
  Docker Image and Container concepts An image is typically a layered operating system file, such as Alpine Linux, which is a commonly used OS used with Docker. Images are downloaded. A container is a build of the image with a defined configuration. Containers are run. Docker Compose allows multiple containers to run. Dockerfile Dockerfile defines image to build, operating system, configuration. Note capital D. docker-compose.yml can orchestrate containers Dockertoolbox is legacy Getting started Install Docker Preferably on a Linux based system.  Ive had success on Debian, Windows WSL2 subsystem (Ubuntu), and Mac OS (Intel CPU).  Running natively on Windows I can't recommend.  Ive read that there is now support for M1 Macs too. Define the image to build Dockerfile example, pulls in another Dockerfile from hub.docker.com as a starting point, copies the source code from local into the VM, and opens port 80. # Use existing image from hub.docker.com as starting point ...
