Effortless Setup: Instantly deploy your entire Linux toolkit in one click
I'm use with the same fundamental stack to build Linux servers : Docker, Docker compose, Portainer and homepage. But, being a bit lazy, I dread the manual installation every time. So, I had a lightbulb moment— why not script the whole thing? So, as an old magician once said
Linux Toolkit and Handy Cheat Sheets
My memory is getting old I guess, so I need to jot down notes on various configurations to refer to from time to time. I manage my own database for all this code snippets, yaml files, init or configuration process. Below, I’ve shared some of my notes with you.
Handle pop-up notifications to users when a reboot is required (and ask for approval)
As an MSP, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud can apply patch management to all devices of all your customers? that's great feature, but for now, the reboot isn't managed with the end-user consent. That's a bit annoying... 😶 Fortunately, we’ve got another ace up our

Efficiently backup customer devices even with low Internet bandwidth
I have a rocking a beautiful 10GB FTTH fiber connection—lucky me! But not everyone’s so fortunate. Some folks are stuck with old-school ADSL and a snail-paced 1MB upload speed. Luckily, technology saves the day ! With deduplication, compression, and always incremental backup strategies, we only need to send a
