Installing Ruby on OSX

While trying to setup Chef client on my workstation I ran into some compatibility problems. It turned out that the chef gems was not compatible with my Ruby/RVM setup, which was a mix of darwin osx ruby, a brew install and rvm.

Newer versions of Mac OSX comes with a version of Ruby already installed, but if you wish to run multiple versions of Ruby on your workstation you should begin by installing RVM. Make sure you don't mix with brew like I did.

You SHOULD install RVM for all users on your machine (remember sudo):


$ sudo \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby


For more information see: https://rvm.io

I recommend restarting your machine after running the installer, to make certain all your shells load the correct version.

In case you need to uninstall RVM, do the following:

$ rvm implode

And if it does not work, you do:

$ rm -rf ~/.rvm

And check all .bashrc .bash_profile .profile and .zshrc for RVM source lines and delete or comment out if this was a Per-User installation.

Switching from Docker Desktop to Rancher Desktop on WSL2: Solving the Missing docker-credential-desktop.exe Error

Switching from Docker Desktop to Rancher Desktop on WSL2: Solving the Missing docker-credential-desktop.exe Error I’ve been happily running Kamal inside WSL2 on my home Windows desktop for a while. My original setup included an older Docker Desktop installation. Recently, I wanted to replicate this environment on a different machine, but I discovered that Docker Desktop had changed their licensing terms. Technically, I’m still covered by the new licensing terms, but I decided to try Rancher Desktop instead. Installing Rancher Desktop on WSL2 Installation was straightforward. I installed Rancher Desktop, configured it to integrate with WSL2, and disabled Kubernetes (since I don’t currently need it). My plan was to continue using the Docker CLI inside WSL2 alongside Rancher Desktop for container management. The Authentication Error However, when I was in WSL and tried to authenticate (for example, with Docker Hub via docker login), I ran into this error: ``` failed to store...

Proxmox Remote administration via VNC

Image
A few times I've needed to communicate via VNC, for instance when I was changing network configuration and couldn't use SSH or when I tried out Windows. Communicating with VNC to Proxmox wasn't so easy for me as it seemed in the documentation. Basically I never really got the " /etc/inetd.conf " thing to work, but this made it work from my local machine. This blog post is an alternative to the openbsd-inetd solution In the following: 2.2.2.2 is the IP of my Proxmox host 100 is the VM-ID you picked when you created the virtual machine ======================================================================== ssh -f -L 25901:127.0.0.1:5910 root@ 2.2.2.2 'nc -l -p 5910 -c "qm vncproxy 100 "'; "/Applications/TigerVNC Viewer 1.2.0.app/Contents/MacOS/TigerVNC Viewer" localhost:25901 ======================================================================== Please note that I only got TigerVNC to work, since all the other VNCs ha...
