[00:57] I am looking for a solution for syncing a remote webserver directory to my desktop so that I can edit it, and it automatically syncs. The remote directory is a git repo. sshfs is too slow. [00:58] most people use rsync for this [00:58] but git complicates things [00:58] what's wrong with git? [00:59] sarnold, git complicates things too - bare/full/mirror/... [01:00] rsync is slow [01:00] sshfs is slow too [01:05] cgi: you could also use zfs datasets and just send the diffs between the systems; that would save rsync having to look into all million files.. === kallesbar_ is now known as kallesbar [06:28] Hmm, the most recent ubuntu/bionic64 Vagrant image appear to be a bit borky. [06:28] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XNyJ8RnG3g/ [06:28] Best place to bring that up? === cpaelzer__ is now known as cpaelzer [07:14] Good morning === cpaelzer__ is now known as cpaelzer === bpsecret- is now known as bpsecret [11:17] coreycb: looking at improving the autopkgtest failures for ironic [11:17] tests rather - to remove the failures :-) [13:10] jamespage: ack, thanks [13:42] what's the current state of focal for raspberry pi, I ran the daily from iso.qa.u.c, and setting up a bridge using netplan doesn't seem to be working after reboot, is that a known issue? Is this the best channel for this? [13:45] arif-ali: see also #ubuntu+1 for 20.04 support [17:27] as per the documentation here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/please-review-design-for-automated-server-installs/11923 [17:28] I am submitting my suggestion here: plese make a tool or allow the subiquity to import preseed files. [20:58] i want to make an alias that i can pass a string into, but struggling w/the syntax. any bash ninjas know how i can foix this --- alias pingasite="grep -i \"$1\" /etc/hosts | awk '{print $2}" | xargs fping" [20:59] thats supposed to be a single quote at the end of the awk section [21:02] a function was a better method for this [21:07] yes a function is likely better... because you can pass args to a function. [21:12] thought i could pass args to an alias but i think i can only pass them to the end [21:12] like the following, alias findanode='node-command --list-nodes|grep -A 1 -i' , but i guess i'm not passing a variable my search term just comes at the end [21:29] xibalba: yeah I think aliases only let you add things to the end; I remember fighting this a few months back and coming to the conclusion that a function was the better answer [22:01] xibalba: I would suggest using "getent hosts" instead of grepping /etc/hosts, seems more robust [22:02] then grep off of the `getent hosts` output ? [22:02] xibalba: scratch that, it ends up doing DNS requests [22:02] yeh it's sad i use a hosts file [22:04] xibalba: that said, by default "getent hosts" looks up /etc/hosts first then do DNS so it might still work for you [22:04] thanks sdeziel i'll try it with that option and see how that works [22:05] xibalba: the advantage is that you will only get a single result for a name that matches in full, while grep would have match on partial strings as well
