Set static IP to Linux VM

-
If you are decided to not use DHCP to obtain IP dynamically for your linux box, you can set the IP manually as below.

Edit respecting ifcfg-eth* file of your network card and insert following entries in the file:

for network card eth0:

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

 DEVICE=eth0
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
NETWORK=10.8.227.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.192
IPADDR=10.8.227.50
DNS1=10.8.224.13
GATEWAY=10.8.227.62
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=no

And replace you IP, netmask, gateway and dns(if any) with your addresses. 

Reactive your network card or restart you network service:

# ifdown eth0
# ifup eth0

or 

/etc/init.d/network restart

There you can see your new network settings and try t ping your gateway to make sure of connection:

# ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:56:B7:3B:F7
          inet addr:10.8.227.50  Bcast:10.8.227.63  Mask:255.255.255.192
          inet6 addr: fe80::250:56ff:feb7:3bf7/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:9621 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:268 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:659779 (644.3 KiB)  TX bytes:45866 (44.7 KiB)

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.
