## Quota
- Limiting the disk space
### Basic setting
Edit `/etc/fstab`
```bash
# Original configuration
/dev/sda2 /home ext4 defaults 1 1
# Add usrquota
/dev/sda2 /home ext4 defaults,usrquota 1 1
```
Remount
```bash
sudo mount -o remount /home
```
Create `aquota.user` and `aquota.group` file
```
sudo quotacheck -cum /home
cd /home
sudo quotacheck -avugfm
```
Load config
```
sudo quotaoff -a # shutdown all quota services
sudo quotaon -avug # start quota and load all config file
```
### Limiting one user home folder space
Setting up User disk limit
```bash
sudo edquota -u User
# Edit blocks it will automatic calculate inodes part
# Unit `KB` 0 is no limit
# Disk quotas for user User (uid 1001):
# Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard
# /dev/sda2 1024 1000 1024 3 0 0
```
### Setting soft limit time
```bash
sudo edquota -t
# Grace period before enforcing soft limits for users:
# Time units may be: days, hours, minutes, or seconds
# Filesystem Block grace period Inode grace period
# /dev/sda2 7days 7days
```
### Get quota reports
```bash
sudo repquota -au
# *** Report for user quotas on device /dev/sda2
# Block grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days
# Block limits File limits
# User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# root -- 20 0 0 2 0 0
# wilicw -- 301532 0 0 3378 0 0
# User +- 1024 1000 1024 6days 3 0 0
```
## Systemd
### Create a new Daemon
Create a shell script in any folder
Create and edit `/etc/systemd/system/service-name.service`
```conf
[Unit]
Description=Service desc
[Service]
ExecStart=/root/your-script.sh
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
```
Enable the service
```bash
sudo systemctl enable service-name
```
## Shell
### Limited history
Edit `~/.bashrc`
```bash=
HISTSIZE=100
HISTFILESIZE=100
# saving the last 100 commands in history file
```
### Auto logout
Edit `~/.bashrc`
```bash=
TMOUT=60
# 60 sec
```

## IPtables
### Overview
![IPtables Overview][iptablesimg]
iptables is replace by nftables
more at #nftables
### Allow lookback
```bash
sudo iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
```
```bash
sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
```
### Block IP
```bash
sudo iptables -A INPUT -s [ip]/[CIDR] -j DROP
```
### NAT
Clean up the old setting
```bash
sudo iptables -F
sudo iptables -t nat -F
sudo iptables -t mangle -F
sudo iptables -X
```
NAT configuration via iptables
```bash
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4_forward
sudo iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
# Allow loopback
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 0.0.0.0/0 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
```
### NAT
Edit `/etc/sysctl.conf`
```
...
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
```
### Port Forwarding
IN interface: `ens33`
forward 8080 port to 192.168.1.20:80
```bash
sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i ens33 --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.20:80
sudo iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 80 -d 192.168.1.20 -j ACCEPT
# Forward tcp/8080 to 192.168.1.20:80
```
## NFTables

## CA on Nginx
Install openssl package
```bash
sudo apt install openssl
```
Generate a private key and request file
```bash
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr
```
Common Name is your domain name
```
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:
Locality Name (eg, city) []:
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:
Email Address []:
Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:
```
Use Windows Server AD CS to auth this request file and get a public key
Rename the public key
```bash
mv certnew.crt server.pem
```
Edit nginx config file
```
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sies-avaliable/default
```
Add ssl configuration
```
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /[path]/server.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /[path]/server.key;
```
Restart nginx services
```
sudo systemctl restart nginx
```
## CA on Apache
```bash
sudo apt install openssl
# enable ssl mod
sudo a2enmod ssl
openssl genrsa -out private.key 2048
openssl req -new -key private.key -out public.csr
```
Copy `public.csr` and rename to `public.crt`
```bash
mv public.csr public.crt
```
Move `public.crt` to `/etc/ssl/certs`
```bash
cp public.scr /etc/ssl/certs/
```
Move `private.key` `/etc/ssl/private`
```bash
cp private.key /etc/ssl/private/
```
Modify `/etc/apache2/site-available/ssl.conf`
```bash
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/public.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/private.key
SSLCACertificatePath /etc/ssl/certs/
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/[Intermediate Certificate].crt #If using a self-signed certificate, omit this line
```
## Building Linux Kernel
- Use root to do following step
### Initialization
Download source code
```bash
cd ~
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.2.2.tar.xz # get kernel source code
mkdir /usr/src/kernel
tar xvf linux-5.2.2.tar.xz
mv linux-5.2.2 /usr/src/kernel
```
Install tools
```bash
apt install flex libffi-dev build-essential libncurses5-dev libssl-dev ccache gcc make
```
### Compile
```bash
cd /usr/src/kernel/linux-5.2.2
make mrproper
make clean
make menuconfig
make all
# Wait for 2 hours
```
### Install kernel
```bash
make modules_install
make install
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
reboot
```
