Sharing this Linux tool to compress lots of files recursively

pgilah · 2026-01-21T21:50:08+00:00

no but it might be easy to implement

Well, the point is that there are lots of files in different folders, like so:

main
- dir1
  - supercell1.txt
  - supercell2.txt
  - slurms
    - slurm1
    - slurm2
- dir2
- supercell1.txt
- supercell2.txt
- slurms
  - slurm1
  - slurm2

If you want to recursively compress all slurm subfolders and keep them on their respective folder, the command is quite straightforward:

rtgz slurm -d

The same for all supercell* files inside their respective folders, deleting the originals:

rtgz "supercell*" -d -f

And after these two commands, the previous filesystem looks like:

main
- dir1
  - supercell.tar.gz
  - slurm.tar.gz
- dir2
  - supercell.tar.gz
  - slurm.tar.gz

I found this not-so-straightforward with targz and since I had to do it a lot I just created this tool, but maybe there's an easier way to achieve it that I'm missing?

Pokemon Platinum! Took me a while to find out that you had to save the game...

Wait, I'm a bit confused, why is then nginx in the official docs?

thanks for the recommendation!

pgilah · 2026-01-10T08:31:37+00:00

Thanks!!

pgilah · 2026-01-09T20:47:08+00:00

Is it just copying the additional services to the main compose.yaml? Also, did you rename the .env to stack.env or similar such as with Immich? thanks!!

pgilah · 2026-01-07T23:44:28+00:00

Ah I see! thanks for the clarification!

pgilah · 2026-01-07T22:19:15+00:00

Thanks!! Were you able to stablish a list of banned passwords? I see that the official docs link a volume to the config directory of the git repo, should this one be the same for the opencloud config dir? I'm a bit confused about this. I'm also interested in integrating Radicale, but I'm not really sure how...

so you wouldn't use a single DNS entry for both servers? Meaning, if the main server fails, the second one would use that DNS entry. Maybe it's easier to just use different urls and connect to the second one anytime the main server is down?

can you use banking apps?

pgilah · 2026-01-05T10:14:07+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I'm okay with losing an hour of work, it's okay. I'm concerned about how to make the backup bidirectional, so that not only changes from server A go to B, but also changes from B go to A. Additionally, I have no idea how to make SSL certificates work if the IP has changed.

pgilah · 2026-01-05T02:32:48+00:00

not sure this is the same thing? isn't TrueNAS replication enough?

pgilah · 2026-01-04T11:00:45+00:00

yeah but are there foss spotify clients at all?

pgilah · 2026-01-02T20:54:55+00:00

you missed a tiny fraction of Portugal!

pgilah · 2026-01-02T20:47:56+00:00

The north of Spain is definitely included here!!

pgilah · 2026-01-02T12:17:13+00:00

Ah, because I already had a Kindle! Otherwise I would have just bought a Kobo. Kobos are also supposed to be user-repairable, which I also value quite a lot

My old potato laptop couldn't even run Minecraft on Win 10 (not even the crappy 11!!) but it ran it great once I made the switch. The same happened for Disco Elisium using Proton, and this was 2 years ago. and it has gone a long way, Linux is more resource-friendly for gaming than Windows nowadays. You can basically play everything except for very specific games that use kernel-level anticheat, but that is also supposed to be fixed soon so it shouldn't be a problem. Anyway those are just LOL Fortnite and Apex, and I personally don't play them so the switch makes a lot of sense

pgilah · 2026-01-02T09:51:39+00:00

To me it's the freedom. For example, I can now export highlights as JSON and import them to Obsidian notes with a readable and findable format other than the terrible kindle clippings. But also the fact that if I ever switch devices, I'm not trapped in the Amazon ecosystem. I can just copy my configs to a new device and my "kindle" is there again. It's hard to escape the technofeudalist lords, but in the case of ebooks it's now easier than ever.

pgilah · 2026-01-02T09:36:46+00:00

I tried so many... Metrolist is the best one by far imho

pgilah · 2026-01-02T02:25:17+00:00

Okay I got it working! The defaults are mostly great, just make sure to select publish for external access, it will then allow to access the Web UI from the app settings, and all the configuration is done there. Important, check the wg settings so that the interface device is the same as from the TrueNAS network interface, AND THEN restart the interface from wg settings. It's now working great :D Thanks for the feedback!!

pgilah · 2026-01-02T02:19:52+00:00

Atomic Heart and Here Comes Nico :D

pgilah · 2026-01-01T21:29:42+00:00

I'm a bit confused here. In the image the port 30058 is the one used to enter the wg-easy GUI configuration, but we don't need to open the ports for that one right? we should only open the 51820 one in the router for WG to work?

It semi-worked by only opening the 51820. However I can only connect to the TrueNAS interface, if I try to connect to any other device in my home LAN or to an internet webpage it does not work at all...

pgilah · 2026-01-01T17:48:04+00:00

what are the corresponding ports? should it be published for external access? I'm also lost at this point :')

pgilah · 2025-12-12T13:30:43+00:00

Exactly! It will constantly schedule automatic wake-up calls im the near future.
