Background / Motivation In some lab or shared environments, regular users do not have sudo. The default sshd service cannot be started. If you need to: ...

Auto-start frp on Ubuntu: A Complete Guide Subtitle / Abstract Use systemd to run frp (Fast Reverse Proxy) as a managed service for stable, secure, and monitored auto-start on boot. Reading time: 8 minutes Tags: frp, intranet tunneling, systemd, auto-start, Linux, Ubuntu SEO keywords: frp auto start, Ubuntu frp config, frpc systemd, frps service, intranet tunneling Meta description: Step-by-step systemd setup for frp (frpc/frps) with config templates and troubleshooting. Target readers Developers deploying frps on cloud servers Intermediate Linux users building stable home/office tunnels DevOps and self-hosting enthusiasts Background and motivation Many developers use frp to expose internal services (SSH, web, NAS) to the internet. The problem is that running ./frpc -c frpc.ini manually is inconvenient and unreliable after reboot. ...

Windows + WSL2 Port Forwarding Guide (Access Flask 5000) Prerequisites You are using WSL2 (Ubuntu or another Linux distro) The Windows host can access the LAN (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) A Flask service is running inside WSL2 and listening on: app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=5000) host="0.0.0.0" is required; otherwise external access will fail. Step 1: Check the WSL2 IP In WSL2: ip addr show eth0 You should see something like: inet 172.26.209.37/20 Record the IP after inet (here: 172.26.209.37). This is the WSL2 internal IP. ...

Load Testing APIs with wrk (Detailed Guide) This article explains how to use wrk on Ubuntu to stress-test backend APIs (Flask, FastAPI, Spring Boot, etc.) and interpret the results. 1. What is wrk? wrk is a modern, high-performance HTTP benchmarking tool written in C. Key features: High concurrency: thousands of concurrent connections Multi-threaded: uses multiple CPU cores Lua scripting: for custom headers, bodies, tokens Faster than Apache Benchmark (ab): lighter and more stable 2. Install wrk On Ubuntu/Debian: ...

Access a Git Bare Repo on Windows WSL2 from the LAN In development, you often need to share Git repositories across multiple machines. If you use WSL2 on Windows and want other LAN machines to access a Git bare repo inside WSL2, this guide walks you through the setup. 1. Create a Git bare repo in WSL2 In WSL2, go to the target directory: git init --bare my_project.git my_project.git is a bare repo with no working tree, only Git data. A bare repo behaves like a remote and can be cloned and pushed. 2. Enable SSH in WSL2 Other machines will access via SSH. ...

Simplified Git Branch Workflow (Solo / Small Team) This workflow is a simplified version of Git Flow. It is suitable for personal projects or small teams: structured but not heavy. 1. Main branch (long-lived) main Always stable and release-ready Production deployments come from here For small teams, main is usually enough; no need for develop. 2. Feature development (feature branch) Naming: feature/<feature-name> Purpose: build new features, then merge back to main Examples: ...

Use a Local Git Bare Repo to Separate Dev and Test Environments In full-stack work, a common problem is how to isolate dev and test environments. Many people host on GitHub or GitLab, but private projects may not be suitable for public hosting. Git is distributed. You can set up a local bare repo as a remote to move code from dev -> test in one machine. What is a bare repository? A normal repo (git init) has a working tree + .git metadata and can be edited directly. A bare repo (git init --bare) has only Git data, no working tree. It is usually used as a remote. In short: ...
