Disable SELinux
Use the /usr/sbin/getenforce or /usr/sbin/sestatus commands to check the status of SELinux
$ /usr/sbin/getenforce Enforcing
or
$ /usr/sbin/sestatus SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: enforcing Mode from config file: enforcing Policy version: 23 Policy from config file: targeted
Change SELINUX from enforcing to disabled in /etc/selinux/config
sudo vi /etc/selinux/config # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. SELINUX=enforcing # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values: # targeted - Targeted processes are protected, # mls - Multi Level Security protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted
sudo reboot

Easiest method is to use the command line!
sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s25
Before...
TYPE=Ethernet PROXY_METHOD=none BROWSER_ONLY=no BOOTPROTO=dhcp DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy NAME=enp0s25 UUID=9097eb96-1ce2-38a2-8dd8-29a8bf56aba4 ONBOOT=yes AUTOCONNECT_PRIORITY=-999 DEVICE=enp0s25
After...
TYPE=Ethernet PROXY_METHOD=none BROWSER_ONLY=no #BOOTPROTO=dhcp BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=192.168.1.15 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 DNS1=192.168.1.13 DNS2=8.8.8.8 DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy NAME=enp0s25 UUID=a8a3bec5-64b0-34de-9e27-9c732082c94b ONBOOT=yes AUTOCONNECT_PRIORITY=-999 DEVICE=enp0s25 ZONE=FedoraWorkstation
Install Applications
sudo dnf install -y terminator thunderbird ddclient lighttpd
Configure Lighttpd
sudo su - cd /var/www/lighttpd/cgi-bin git clone 192.168.1.11:/Google\ Drive/dbahawk_server/ cd /var/www chown -R lighttpd:lighttpd *
Enable mod_cgi: Uncomment the mod_cgi include
vi /etc/lighttpd/modules.conf ## ## plain old CGI (mod_cgi) ## include "conf.d/cgi.conf"
Install and configure add-on FiltaQuilla
FiltaQuilla is an add-on that adds significant functionality to the filtering of emails in Thunderbird.
Setup the rule
- Where subject contains "dbahawk_forward"
- Save attachment to "Downloads/dbahawk_forward"
- Mark as read
- Delete mail
Configure Thunderbird
Copy the profile folder from the old machine if still available. While on the new machine, issue this command to copy directory structure between 2 hosts.
ssh dbahawk@fedora "cd $HOME/.thunderbird && tar -cf - . | gzip " | ( cd $HOME/.thunderbird && gunzip -c | tar -xvf - . ) | tee -a $HOME/copy_thunderbird_profile.log
Configure ddclient
To get the ddns for the domain name working, make sure ddclient is running in daemon mode.
Make sure use=web is uncommented in /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf or /etc/ddclient.conf
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP Address'
and put these details in the zoneedit section
server=dynamic.zoneedit.com, \ protocol=zoneedit1, \ login=<username>, \ password=<password> \ stuartbarkley.com
Create user dbahawk
sudo useradd -G wheel dbahawk su - dbahawk mkdir -p Downloads/dbahawk_forward spoolfiles
Copy the contents of the old spoolfiles directory if possible as it contains the .rrd files.
Install CPAN
Some of the dbahawk perl scripts need modules not installed by default (eg. Switch.pm)
sudo dnf install -y perl-CPAN
or if Fedora already has it installed, try
sudo dnf install -y 'perl(Switch)' sudo dnf install -y 'perl(DBI)' sudo dnf install -y 'perl(CGI)' sudo dnf install -y 'perl(DBD::SQLite)'
Add entries to crontab
crontab -e
