Installing packages with apt-get on gitpod

Until recently I did not know that I could install packages with apt-get on gitpod as it always wanted me to have root permissions, here is how it should be done.

If you are using a public git repository make sure you have push permissions to the repository or fork the repository unless you are the real owner of the repository. Now you probably should be already aware that there is an actual `Browser Extension` for chrome and Mozilla, if not you should install that to make things easy instead of editing the URL(appending gitpod.io/#) all the time to open the repository in gitpod.

After you open the repository in gitpod run the below command

>> gp init

This will generate .gitpod.yml and .gitpod.Dockerfile files. Now modify the docker file something like below( for install redis-server in my case)

FROM gitpod/workspace-full
USER gitpod
RUN sudo apt-get update -q && \
    sudo apt-get install -yq redis-server

Then make sure you commit both the files and push them back to the repository.

Close the existing gitpod workspace and relaunch the workspace by going to the actual repository in GitHub with the latest commit. This should start installing the packages and open the workspace.

You can read more about this here at Installing missing packages

Alternatively, you can also install packaged with brew install <PackageName>.

Reasons not to buy Akaso action camera if you are from india

Recently I made a full review of the action camera I brought after doing a ton of research and time. Having used it for a couple of months I feel extremely glad that it meets up to my expectations. But recently, I accidentally tipped off the camera without an external case and it cracked my lens. This, in turn, added a shady spot on my phone or video and I cannot use that anymore (Some phones of the cracked lens below) I immediately mailed the akaso team to ask if there is anything they could do but unfortunately, this was their response. Oops, that was not what I was expecting and then I asked them I could get any details of the replacement parts or anything like that so that I can order it online. But that didn't happen it took a lot of time for them to respond me back(I have been bugging them on Facebook and email). But after some time they left me with this response which I had no other choice but to accept. After getting the 50%re...

Create a docker image from your GitHub or Bitbucket repository | 2020

Are you wasting your valuable local resources and internet building your Docker images in your local machine, then its time to shift the gear towards using docker hub. With the docker hub, you can create a docker image just by using your GitHub or Bitbucket repositories as most of the projects are on them. So check out the video below to understand how that can be done. Feel free to post any queries comments below 😎.

THM — RUST — [task 13] challenge - writeup

Before starting this you must get familiar with all the previous tasks and run some code in the tasks and get familiar with error handling and using crates. If you have difficulty completing the previous tasks here is a walkthrough video of them. TryHackMe — learn Rust — [Task 13] : So as given the string is already encrypted and all you have to do is to decrypt in the order of rot13 -> base64 -> ROT13 -> plaintext and find the flag. To do that you can head to https://crates.io/ to find external packages which will decrypt the text for you out of the box, so search for packages such as base64 and rot13 to make use of them to use them in our code. So here are some packages which I used cipher-crypt = “0.17.0” base64 = “0.12.3” will use cipher-crypt for rot13 and base64 for base 64 decryption. So now you can add them to your dependencies in Cargo.toml file(as below) Now you are all set to use the packages it in your code. Then you can import these packages in your code as be...
