  • 1. D-Bus a D-Bus FAQ Szerint D-Bus Egy Interprocessz-Kommunikációs Protokoll, És Annak Referenciamegvalósítása
    Az Udev / D-Bus rendszer - a modern asztali Linuxok alapja A D-Bus rendszer minden modern Linux disztribúcióban jelen van, sőt mára már a Linux, és más UNIX jellegű, sőt nem UNIX rendszerek (különösen a desktopon futó változatok) egyik legalapvetőbb technológiája, és az ismerete a rendszergazdák számára lehetővé tesz néhány rendkívül hasznos trükköt, az alkalmazásfejlesztőknek pedig egyszerűen KÖTELEZŐ ismerniük. Miért ilyen fontos a D-Bus? Mit csinál? D-Bus alapú technológiát teszik lehetővé többek között azt, hogy közönséges felhasználóként a kedvenc asztali környezetünkbe bejelentkezve olyan feladatokat hajtsunk végre, amiket a kernel csak a root felasználónak engedne meg. Felmountolunk egy USB meghajtót? NetworkManagerrel konfiguráljuk a WiFi-t, a 3G internetet vagy bármilyen más hálózati csatolót, és kapcsolódunk egy hálózathoz? Figyelmeztetést kapunk a rendszertől, hogy új szoftverfrissítések érkeztek, majd telepítjük ezeket? Hibernáljuk, felfüggesztjük a gépet? A legtöbb esetben ma már D-Bus alapú technológiát használunk ilyen esetben. A D-Bus lehetővé teszi, hogy egymástól függetlenül, jellemzően más UID alatt indított szoftverösszetevők szabványos és biztonságos módon igénybe vegyék egymás szolgáltatásait. Ha valaha lesz a Linuxhoz professzionális desktop tűzfal vagy vírusirtó megoldás, a dolgok jelenlegi állasa szerint annak is D- Bus technológiát kell használnia. A D-Bus technológia legfontosabb ihletője a KDE DCOP rendszere volt, és mára a D-Bus leváltotta a DCOP-ot, csakúgy, mint a Gnome Bonobo technológiáját. 1. D-Bus A D-Bus FAQ szerint D-Bus egy interprocessz-kommunikációs protokoll, és annak referenciamegvalósítása. Ezen referenciamegvalósítás egyik összetevője, a libdbus könyvtár a D- Bus szabványnak megfelelő kommunikáció megvalósítását segíti. Egy másik összetevő, a dbus- daemon a D-Bus üzenetek routolásáért, szórásáért felelős.

It sends requests from the client?s end to the server end and conveys data from the server to the client. Well, that is enough to know about the HTTP protocol if you are a regular internet user. If you are a server administrator or a network manager or host your own website on an Nginx server, you need to know more about HTTP, HTTP/2.0, and how to enable HTTP/2.0 in the Nginx server. How to manage Linux container registries | Enable Sysadmin [3] If we have a close look at LEGO® products, we can see that they are all made of the same building blocks. However, the composition of these blocks is the key differentiator for whether we are building a castle or space ship. It's pretty much the same for Podman, and its sibling projects Buildah, Skopeo, and CRI-O. However, instead of recycled plastic, the building blocks for our container tools are made of open source code. Sharing these building blocks allows us to provide rock-solid, enterprise-grade container tools.

Automated Installation of Linux Systems Using YaST Dirk Hohndel and Fabian Herschel – SuSE Rhein/Main AG ABSTRACT The paper describes how to allow a customized automated installation of Linux. This is possible via CDRom, network or tape, using a special boot disk that describes the system that should be set up and either standard SuSE Linux CDs, customized install CDs, an appropriately configured installation server, or a tape backup of an existing machine. A control file on the boot disk and additional (optional) control files on the install medium specify which settings should be used and which packages should be installed. This includes settings like language, key table, network setup, hard disk partitioning, packages to install, etc. After giving a quick overview of the syntax and capabilities of this installation method, considerations about how to plan the automated installation at larger sites are presented.
