Linux Routing table

-
We can check current Linux route table with netstat command

# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
0.0.0.0         12.96.176.1     0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth2

12.96.154.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth1

 Q: How to add a new route?

To add a single host destination:
# route add $Host_IP gw $Gateway

e.g:
# route add 12.153.4.22 gw 6.64.215.1

To add a network destination:
# route add –net $Network_IP netmask $MASK gw $Gateway

e.g:
# route add -net 12.153.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.248 gw 6.64.215.1
Q: How to delete route?

# route del –net $Network_IP netmask $MASK gw $Gateway

Q: How to check the default gateway?

In routing table, the row start with 0.0.0.0 has gateway IP which in this example is 12.96.176.1

# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
0.0.0.0         12.96.176.1     0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth2
5.72.185.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
12.96.154.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth1
12.96.176.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth2
13.122.288.72   5.72.185.1      255.255.255.240 UG        0 0          0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0 lo
135.188.0.0     5.72.185.1      255.255.0.0     UG        0 0          0 eth0
135.188.45.153  5.72.185.1      255.255.255.255 UGH       0 0    
      0 eth0
174.65.146.0    5.72.185.1      255.255.255.0   UG        0 0          0 eth0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U         0 0          0 eth0

and finally to set default gateway we can use following command:

# route add default gw 192.168.1.254 eth0

Rebuild your new Yum repository after changing the packages

-
If you have done any  changes  to your local  repository  packages, adding new ones or deleting some, you can just simply update your yum sqlite metadata database for your changes to take effect, rather than creating the whole repository again which takes time if you have  thousands  of packages in your repository.  Here is how we rebuild our yum repository. 1. After you are done with adding/removing packages to your local repo, then: # createrepo --update /path/to/repo_dir 2. On the  client  side, you need to clean up the cached yum meta data in order to see the changes after repo rebuild: # yum clean all 3. Now update the  client  yum cache  # yum update

Running Docker Wildfly/JBoss Application Server in Debug mode via Eclipse

-
I have recently built the whole Development Environment of Java Enterprise Edition (J2EE) project on multiple Docker containers. It has saved the hassle of setting up a dev env for new developers. All it takes to setup the environment is to clone our github repositories and run the Docker images. I will explain the setup in a future post. Build Wildfly Docker Image with Debugging Enabled So basically in order to run the Wildfly in debug mode, we need to add --debug  flag to the Wildfly standalone.sh  startup script. Also we need to expose port 8787  in our image as it's the default port for Wildfly JVM debug mode. 1. Create or change your Wildfly Dockerfile as follows: $ cat Dockerfile FROM jboss/wildfly: 10.0 . 0 .Final EXPOSE 8787 CMD [ "/opt/jboss/wildfly/bin/standalone.sh" , "-b" , "0.0.0.0" , "-bmanagement" , "0.0.0.0" , "--debug" ] 2. Build and tag the image: $ docker build -t wildfly-debug . 3.
