Debugging mobile phones you don't have

Use SauceLabs (free for open source, for short 11 minutes sessions), and Weinre, see debug-ios-safari-without-iphone.md in this directory.

Docker:

Login as root to a running container, without knowing the root password:

s/d exec -u 0 search bash    # user id 0 = root

# or with docker (not docker-compose):
docker exec -u 0 -it container_name bash

Free up disk space, by deleting old images:

docker image prune  # optionally, add:  --all

How to push images to a local repo, to test in Vagrant: see testing-images-in-vagrant.md.

Redis

List LetsEncrypt certs: [todoc_certs] (find prefixes in: images/web/openresty-pkgs/usr-local-openresty-site/lualib/resty/acme/autossl.lua)

# cd /opt/talkyard
# docker-compose exec cache redis-cli
> KEYS update_lock:*
> KEYS domain:*
> KEYS account_key:*

> GET domain:rsa:forum.example.com

Empty the db: (or FLUSHALL to empty all dbs — but Ty uses just one)

Don't do in Prod — the LetsEncrypt certs are kept in Redis. [ty_v1] A 2nd Redis instance for certs? (Better than using different dbs in the same Redis process)

$ d/c exec cache redis-cli
> FLUSHDB

Regular expressions, regexps, regexs

ElasticSearch stuff:

If the disk is >= 95% full, ElasticSearch enters read-only mode (or read-delete-only). Once you've freed up disk, you need to tell ElasticSearch about this:

curl -XPUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    https://localhost:9200/_all/_settings \
    -d '{"index.blocks.read_only_allow_delete": null}'

Thereafter ElasticSearch should start working again. Docs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/disk-allocator.html

List indexes, & create: d/c exec search curl https://localhost:9200/_aliases?pretty d/c exec search curl -X PUT 'localhost:9200/posts_es6_v2_english?pretty'

List everything:
https://localhost:9200/_search?pretty&size=9999

List posts in site 3: (note: routing=3) https://localhost:9200/posts_es6_v2_english/_doc/_search?pretty&routing=3&size=9999

Get post 110, site -12, by id: (note that the id must be "quoted") curl 'https://localhost:9200/posts_es6_v2_english/_doc/_search?pretty&q=_id:"-12:110"'

Show mappings: curl https://localhost:9200/posts_es6_v2_english/_mapping

Search:
https://localhost:9200/_search?pretty&q=approvedText:zzwwqq2

Status of everything:
https://localhost:9200/_cat?v

Request body search:

$ curl -XGET 'https://localhost:9200/_search' -d '{
    "query" : {
        "term" : { "approvedText" : "something" }
    }
}'

# Or, with JSON in a file:
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'https://localhost:9200/_search' -d @data.json

# The data.json contents could be e.g.:
    {"from":0,"size":60,"query":{"bool":{"filter":...,"must":...}}...}

Reindex everything: (might take long: minutes/hours/weeks, depending on db size)

curl -XDELETE 'https://localhost:9200/posts_es6_v2_english/'
docker-compose restart web app

Nodejs

If you get this error, although not out of disk, when running Gulp:

ENOSPC: no space left on device, watch '/opt/talkyard/server/client/app/page/'

Then, the problem is probably that Gulp needs to watch for changes in really many files, and we need to tell the OS to let Gulp do that, by increasing the number of allowed inode watchers. Append this to /etc/sysctl.conf: (on your host OS, not in a container)

###################################################################
# Nodejs
#
# Nodejs might believe we're out of disk space, unless it can watch really many files:
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

Then reload sysctl.conf, like so: sysctl --system. (Persists across reboots.)

Downloading backups

You can tell rsync to not download only the current month's backups, e.g.:

rsync -av  \
  --prune-empty-dirs  --include='*2019-12*' --include='*/' --exclude='*' \
  -e 'ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub' \
  root@...:/.../backups/  \
  /home/user/...-backups

ASCII punctuation chars

All ASCII symbols, in char val order:  [all_symbols]
 ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - .  / : ; < = > ?  @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~

In Java regexps, these need to be escaped: (not always, e.g. '-' at the end of [...])
\.[]{}()<>*+-=!?^$|

What's these? Some extras:
 ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - .  / : ; < = > ?  @ ` [ \ ~ ] ↑ ^ ← _ { ¬ | }
