I had an issue with one of my staging servers on Digital Ocean, running Ubuntu 20.04. CPU utilization was at 100% for a couple of hours, and I knew something had to be up. Upon further investigation, I found that 100% of my CPU was being utilized by a process called “kdevtmpfsi”. After some Googling, …
Are A2 Hosting Turbo Servers worth it? I run a reseller web hosting business as a side hustle. You can read about that here, or get my free mini-course here on how I do that, if you’re interested. I’ve been doing this for a number of years now, and so far, it’s created a fairly …
I built a playlist on YouTube, talking about how I earn passive income by selling hosting accounts via a Reseller. Right now, a couple thousand dollars per month passively. To my surprise, that playlist has blown up, and many people have found it incredibly useful. However, one of the most frequent questions I get is …
Edit: This became such a popular article, that I decided to create a completely free mini-course, talking about how I do it. You can watch that here, if you’d like, instead of reading. My first true love always has been, and most likely always will be IT. My second true love is personal finance, and …
I found myself needing to install Nagios on Ubuntu Linux. Sadly, most of the guides I was attempting to follow online were somewhat dated and/or lacking. So why not create the walk-through here myself to potentially help others as well? For the purpose of this guide, I’m assuming you have a blank/clean Ubuntu Linux box. …
AD LDS stands for “Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services.” If you’re not familiar with this, it’s basically a simple way to provide an authentication system for an application via LDAP, but without all the bells and whistles of a full blown Active Directory configuration. In the past 6 months, I’ve had to migrate three different …
Edit 2/3/20: I’ve switched away from using either RunCloud or ServerPilot. You can read about that here. I host around 18 different websites (mostly WordPress), both for myself, and for small-to-medium sized business clients. This creates a small pool of “fun money” on the side for me, that’s entirely passive. It also lets me break …
I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to install MongoDB silently via the command line in Windows server. Although the Mongo documentation is thorough, the exact commands listed didn’t work for me out of the box. Keep in mind that these commands work best using the standard cmd shell, and …
To be honest, I find it a little pointless to be writing this in the first place, as there are already so many guides on the internet on setting up Apache with Tomcat using mod_jk. In fact, there are better ways, such as using mod_proxy which comes bundled with Apache by default. However, some of …
Updated Note 4/2/19: While the information below is still valid, I’ve since moved away from ServerPilot and now use RunCloud. You can read my post as to why I switched here. ServerPilot is great, and I recommend them to anyone. I use their service almost exclusively to manage multiple WordPress installations on a single $5/month …
