=> ↺ How to deploy a container to a remote Docker machine with ServerCat
ServerCat is one of my favorite tools for remotely accessing and monitoring Linux servers. With a beautifully designed UI and user-friendly structure, anyone can use this tool to access remote Linux servers.
But ServerCat has a few other tricks up its crafty sleeve. One such trick is the ability to batch-execute Docker deployments to any supporting server you have connected. With a single command, you can deploy containers to all of your Docker servers and then monitor them to make sure they’re running as expected. I’ll show you how simple it is to do just that by batch-deploying an NGINX container to multiple servers hosting Docker containers.

In Linux, the file permissions determine who can access and modify a file or directory. By default, the owner of a file or directory has full control over it, but it is also possible to grant or restrict access to other users or groups. If you want to change the permissions of multiple files or directories at once, you can use thechmodcommand with the-Roption to recursively change the permissions.
In this article, we will explore how to recursively change the file permissions in Linux.
=> ↺ How to change priorities of x-www-browser - update-alternatives
Update Alternatives is the command available on Linux to change the default program preference using the terminal. We can use it to create, remove, maintain, and display information about the symbolic links comprising the Debian alternatives system.
Although, sometimes even after changing the app’s default value, still it not works. For example, you set Chrome as the default browser, and at the time of opening some link on the system, it selects firefox.
It is because of the priority value set by the apps on our system. Here we learn the command to change the priority of applications using the Update Alternatives command.
=> ↺ Perform a Checksum in the Ubuntu Command Line
Want to check whether the downloaded file is corrupted or not? The easiest way is to verify its checksum.
In simple terms, the checksum can be considered a digital fingerprint of a file made up of characters and numbers.
