The integration between Docker and Amazon ECS

The integration between Docker and Amazon ECS allows developers to use the Docker Compose CLI to: Set up an AWS context in one Docker command, allowing you to switch from a local context to a cloud context and run applications quickly and easily Simplify multi-container application development on Amazon ECS using Compose files

Watching a file to keep the container running.

tail -f /dev/null

A container adds additional isolation not available when simply using chroot.

A container is extended version of chroot A chroot on Unix operating systems is an operation that changes the apparent root directory for the current running process and its children. A program that is run in such a modified environment cannot name files outside the designated directory tree. The term "chroot" may refer to the chroot(2) system call or the chroot(8) wrapper program. The modified environment is called a chroot jail.

Allow multiple Docker containers to communicate with each other by Docker network

For example a client application in another Docker container can access the database Server in the server container.  First, create a Docker network: docker network create goyun-info-net When you are creating and starting the server and the client containers, use the --network option to put them on network you created. For example: docker run --name=mysql1 --network=goyun-info-net -d mysql/mysql-server docker run --name=myapp1 --network=goyun-info-net -d myapp The myapp1 container can then connect to the mysql1 container with the mysql1 hostname and vice versa, as Docker automatically sets up a DNS for the given container names .  In the following example, we run the mysql client from inside the myapp1 container to connect to host mysql1 in its own container: docker exec -it myapp1 mysql --host=mysql1 --user=myuser --password For other networking techniques for containers, see the Docker container networking section in the Docker Documentation.

FTC Finalizes Settlement with Data Center Company over Allegations it Deceived Consumers about its Participation in the EU Privacy Shield

The Federal Trade Commission finalized a settlement   with a data storage services company that allegedly deceived consumers about its participation in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield (Privacy Shield) framework.

Campfire safety tips.

Build your campfire on bare soil or rock. Choose a spot that's sheltered from the wind and at least 3 meters from anything flammable. Keep your fire small and never leave it unattended. When you're ready to put it out, soak the campfire with water, stir the ashes to uncover hot coals, and soak it again.

HTTP microservices, reactive applications, message-driven microservices and serverless are now central players in modern systems.

The client-server architecture is not longer the de-facto standard to build applications.

FTC Data Shows Big Jump in Consumer Reports about Scams Originating on Social Media

Newly released data from the Federal Trade Commission reveal that there has been a surge in reports from people who say they lost money to a scam that started on social media, including a spike of these complaints in the spring at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data released by the FTC shows that the number of complaints about scams that started on social media more than tripled in the last year. People reported losing more than $117 million to this type of scam in just the first six months of 2020 compared to $134 million for all of 2019, according to the FTC’s latest Consumer Protection Data Spotlight . Online shopping topped the list of complaints from consumers who reported a scam to the FTC that originated on social media. Of these consumers, many were responding to an ad they saw on social media and reported that the item they ordered never arrived. Most of those consumers (94 percent) who identified the social media service in their complaint cited Facebook or Instagram a...

FTC Approves Final Administrative Consent Order with Marketer of Product Falsely Claiming to Prevent or Treat COVID-19

Following a public comment period, the Federal Trade Commission has approved a final administrative consent order  settling charges that a California-based marketer of a supplement called Thrive, which consists mainly of Vitamin C and herbal extracts, made baseless claims that it can treat, prevent, or reduce the risk of COVID-19. According to the FTC’s April 2020 administrative complaint , since at least December 2018, Marc Ching, doing business as Whole Leaf Organics, advertised and sold Thrive online, through his Whole Leaf Organics website, and in March 2020 began marketing it as an “anti viral wellness booster” that treats, prevents, or reduces the risk of COVID-19. The complaint also alleged that Ching used his Whole Leaf Organics website to deceptively advertise and sell three CBD-containing products. The final order settling the complaint bars Ching’s false and unsubstantiated health claims and requires him to send written notices to customers and retailers of Thrive explainin...

FTC Halts Scheme that Falsely Claimed to Offer Unlimited Inmate Calling Plans

Operators have bilked consumers out of at least $1 million, FTC alleges At the request of the FTC, a federal court issued a temporary restraining order   against Marc and Courtney Grisham and two companies they operate, Disruption Theory LLC and Emergent Technologies LLC, which do business as inmatecall.com and inmatecallsolutions.com. In its complaint , the FTC alleges that the operators advertised and marketed calling plans for unlimited minutes, which they did not provide. Prison and jail calls are provided by specialized service providers, which have contracts with correctional facilities and charge for calls at predetermined per-minute rates. Specialized service providers have not and do not currently offer unlimited calling plans. This is the first case the FTC has brought involving inmate calling plans. The FTC alleges that the operators of the scheme preyed on inmates’ families and friends who rely on phone calls to stay in touch with their incarcerated loved ones—particularly...

FTC Acts to Shut Down Unlawful Debt Collection Operation

Atlanta-based company allegedly posed as police, made threats to consumers about non-existent debt A federal court has shut down an Atlanta-based debt collector   in response to a Federal Trade Commission complaint alleging that its agents threatened consumers with arrest and imprisonment and tried to collect debts that consumers did not actually owe. The FTC’s complaint alleges that Critical Resolution Mediation LLC’s  collectors regularly posed as law enforcement officers, attorneys, mediators, or process servers when calling consumers, lending credence to their threats about supposed unpaid debts. In many cases, the defendants were attempting to collect on so-called “phantom” debt—debts that either were never owed—or debts that were no longer owed. The case was brought as part of the Operation Corrupt Collector law enforcement sweep. According to the complaint, the company’s collectors threatened not only to arrest and jail consumers who refused to pay immediately, but also to ga...

Setup DNS Server with Docker Container

Quickstart Start BIND using: $ sudo docker run --name bind -d --restart=always  --publish 53:53/tcp --publish 53:53/udp --publish 10000:10000/tcp  --volume /opt/docker/bind:/data sameersbn/bind Login to Webmin with the username  root  and password  password . Specify  --env ROOT_PASSWORD=secretpassword  on the  docker run  command to set a password of your choosing. Persistence For the BIND to preserve its state across container shutdown and startup you should mount a volume at  /data . The  Quickstart  command already mounts a volume for persistence. SELinux users should update the security context of the host mountpoint so that it plays nicely with Docker: mkdir -p /opt/docker/bind chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t /opt/docker/bind Shell Access docker exec -it bind bash

The eval command is used to execute the arguments as a shell command on unix or linux system.

Eval command comes in handy when you have a unix or linux command stored in a variable and you want to execute that command stored in the string. The eval command first evaluates the argument and then runs the command stored in the argument. Example: eval `ssh-agent` eval $(ssh-agent) An agent is a program that keeps your keys in memory so that you only need to unlock them once, instead of every time. ssh-agent does this for SSH keys. eval `ssh-agent` – this runs the agent in background, and sets the apropriate environment variables for the current shell instance.
