My git server is all I need to setup to actually kill my other server (I’ve been moving from servers on these last 2-3 blog entries), that’s why I’m already doing this entry.

After that you can already push/pull to your repository. I have my repositories (locally) set up so I can push to more than one remote at the same time (my server, GitHub, GitLab, etc.); to do so, check this gist.

Wrapping up

 
We should have a working mail server by now. Before continuing check your journal logs (journalctl -xe --unit={unit}, where {unit} could be spamassassin.service for example) to see if there was any error whatsoever and try to debug it, it should be a typo somewhere (the logs are generally really descriptive) because all the settings and steps detailed here just (literally just finished doing everything on a new server as of the writing of this text) worked (((it just werks on my machine))).

 
Now, to actually use the mail service: first of all, you need a normal account (don’t use root) that belongs to the mail group (gpasswd -a user group to add a user user to group group) and that has a password.

 
Next, to actually login into a mail app/program/whateveryouwanttocallit, you will use the following settings, at least for thunderdbird(I tested in windows default mail app and you don’t need a lot of settings):

I’ve been wanting to do this entry, but had no time to do it since I also have to set up the VPN service as well to make sure what I’m writing makes sense, today is the day.

 
Like with any other of my entries I based my setup on the Arch Wiki, this install script and this profile generator script.

 
This will be installed and working alongside the other stuff I’ve wrote about on other posts (see the server tag). All commands here are executes as root unless specified otherwise. Also, this is intended only for IPv4 (it’s not that hard to include IPv6, but meh).

Prerequisites

 
Pretty simple:

 
    
 
  • Working server with root access, and with Ufw as the firewall.
    • 
 
  • Depending on what port you want to run the VPN on, the default 1194, or as a fallback on 443 (click here for more). I will do mine on port 1194 but it’s just a matter of changing 2 lines of configuration and one Ufw rule.

Create PKI from scratch

 
PKI stands for Public Key Infrastructure and basically it’s required for certificates, private keys and more. This is supposed to work between two servers and one client: a server in charge of creating, signing and verifying the certificates, a server with the OpenVPN service running and the client making the request.

 
This is supposed to work something like: 1) a client wants to use the VPN service, so it creates a requests and sends it to the signing server, 2) this server checks the requests and signs the request, returning the certificates to both the VPN service and the client and 3) the client can now connect to the VPN service using the signed certificate which the OpenVPN server knows about. In a nutshell, I’m no expert.

 
… but, to be honest, all of this is a hassle and (in my case) I want something simple to use and manage. So I’m gonna do all on one server and then just give away the configuration file for the clients, effectively generating files that anyone can run and will work, meaning that you need to be careful who you give this files (it also comes with a revoking mechanism, so no worries).

Create client configurations

 
You might notice that I didn’t specify how to actually connect to our server. For that we need to do a few more steps. We actually need a configuration file similar to the server.conf file that we created.

 
The real way of doing this would be to run similar steps as the ones with easy-rsa locally, send them to the server, sign them, and retrieve them. Nah, we’ll just create all configuration files on the server as I was mentioning earlier.

 
Also, the client configuration file has to match the server one (to some degree), to make this easier you can create a client-common file in /etc/openvpn/server with the following content:

These are general notes on how to setup a Nginx web server plus Certbot for SSL certificates, initially learned from Luke’s video and after some use and research I added more stuff to the mix. And, actually at the time of writing this entry, I’m configuring the web server again on a new VPS instance, so this is going to be fresh.

 
As a side note, (((i use arch btw))) so everything here es aimed at an Arch Linux distro, and I’m doing everything on a VPS. Also note that most if not all commands here are executed with root privileges.

Recently I set up an XMPP server (and a Matrix one, too) for my personal use and for friends if they want one; made one for EL ELE EME for example. So, here are the notes on how I set up the server that is compatible with the Conversations app and the Movim social network. You can see my addresses in contact and the XMPP compliance/score of the server.

 
One of the best resources I found that helped me a lot was Installing and Configuring Prosody XMPP Server on Debian 9, and of course the Arch Wiki and the oficial documentation.

 
As with my other entries, this is under a server running Arch Linux, with the Nginx web server and Certbot certificates. And all commands here are executed as root (unless specified otherwise)

Exporting

 
You need to download the templates for exporting as detailed in Godot‘s Exporting projects. Basically you go to Editor -> Manage Export Templates… and download the latest one specific to your Godot version by clicking on “Download and Install”.

 
If exporting for Windows then you also need to download rcedit from here. Just place it wherever you want (I put it next to the Godot executable).

 
Then go to Project -> Export… and the Window should be empty, add a new template by clicking on “Add…” at the top and then select the template you want. I used HTML5, Windows Desktop and Linux/X11. Really the only thing you need to set is the “Export Path” for each template, which is te location of where the executable will be written to, and in the case of the Windows Desktop template you could also setup stuff like “Company Name”, “Product Name”, “File/Product Version”, etc..

Initial setup

 
Again, similar to the FlappyBird clone I developed, I’m using the directory structure I wrote about on Godot project structure with slight modifications to test things out. Also using similar Project settings as those from the FlappyBird clone like the pixel art texture imports, keybindings, layers, etc..

 
I’ve also setup GifMaker, with slight modifications as the AssetLib doesn’t install it correctly and contains unnecessry stuff: moved necessary files to the res://addons directory, deleted test scenes and files in general, and copied the license to the res://docs directory. Setting this up was a bit annoying because the tutorial it’s bad (with all due respect). I might do a separate entry just to explain how to set it up, because I couldn’t find it anywhere other than by inspecting some of the code/scenes.I ended up not leaving this enabled in the game as it lagged the game out, but it’s an option I’ll end up researching more.

 
This time I’m also going to be using an Event bus singleton (which I’m going to just call Event) as managing signals was pretty annoying on my last project; as well as a Global singleton for essential stuff so I don’t have to do as many cross references between nodes/scenes.

This is the most challenging part in my opinion as making all the body parts follow the head in a user defined path it’s kinda hard.

The most basic thing is to move the head, this is what we have control of.

Setting up path following

 
To move other snake parts by following the snake head the only solution I found was to use the Path2D and PathFollow2D nodes. Path2D basically just handles the curve/path that PathFollow2D will use to move its child node; and I say “child node” in singular… as PathFollow2D can only handle one damn child, all the other ones will have weird transformations and/or rotations. So, the next thing to do is to setup a way to compute (and draw so we can validate) the snake’s path/curve.

Create a new scene called Body.tscn with a PathFollow2D as its root and an Area2D as its child, then just add the necessary Sprite and CollisionShap2D for the Area2D, I’m using layer = bit 2 for its collision. Create a new script called generic_segment.gd with the following code:

Fix on body segments following head

 
After a while of testing and developing, I noticed that sometimes the head “detaches” from the body when a lot of rotations happen (moving the snake left or right), because of how imprecise the Curve2D is. To do this I just send a signal (snake_rotated) whenever the snake rotates and make a small correction (in generic_segment.gd):

Final notes

Final notes

 
I actually didn’t finish this game (as how I visualized it), but I got it in a playable state which is good. My big learning during this jam is the time management that it requires to plan and design a game. I lost a lot of time trying to implement some mechanics because I was facing many issues, because of my lack of practice (which was expected) as well as trying to blog and create the necessary sprites myself. Next time I should just get an asset pack and do something with it, as well as keeping the scope of my game shorter.

 
For exporting and everything else, I went with what I did for my FlappyBird Godot clone

Final notes

 
I actually didn’t finish this game (as how I visualized it), but I got it in a playable state which is good. My big learning during this jam is the time management that it requires to plan and design a game. I lost a lot of time trying to implement some mechanics because I was facing many issues, because of my lack of practice (which was expected) as well as trying to blog and create the necessary sprites myself. Next time I should just get an asset pack and do something with it, as well as keeping the scope of my game shorter.

Create PKI from scratch

 
PKI stands for Public Key Infrastructure and basically it’s required for certificates, private keys and more. This is supposed to work between two servers and one client: a server in charge of creating, signing and verifying the certificates, a server with the OpenVPN service running and the client making the request.

 
This is supposed to work something like: 1) a client wants to use the VPN service, so it creates a requests and sends it to the signing server, 2) this server checks the requests and signs the request, returning the certificates to both the VPN service and the client and 3) the client can now connect to the VPN service using the signed certificate which the OpenVPN server knows about. In a nutshell, I’m no expert.

 
… but, to be honest, all of this is a hassle and (in my case) I want something simple to use and manage. So I’m gonna do all on one server and then just give away the configuration file for the clients, effectively generating files that anyone can run and will work, meaning that you need to be careful who you give this files (it also comes with a revoking mechanism, so no worries).

    I might get tired of saying this (it’s just copy paste, basically)… but you will need the same prerequisites as before (check my website and mail entries), with the extras:
    
 
      
 
    • (Optional, if you want a “front-end”) A CNAME for “git” and (optionally) “www.git”, or some other name for your sub-domains.
      • 
 
    • An SSL certificate, if you’re following the other entries, add a git.conf and run certbot --nginx to extend the certificate.

    After that you can already push/pull to your repository. I have my repositories (locally) set up so I can push to more than one remote at the same time (my server, GitHub, GitLab, etc.); to do so, check this gist.

       How to create mail server using Postfix, Dovecot, SpamAssassin and OpenDKIM. This is a follow up on post about creating a website with Nginx and Certbot.
       The entry is going to be long because it’s a tedious process. This is also based on Luke Smith’s script, but adapted to Arch Linux (his script works on debian-based distributions). This entry is mostly so I can record all the notes required while I’m in the process of installing/configuring the mail server on a new VPS of mine; also I’m going to be writing a script that does everything in one go (for Arch Linux), that will be hosted here.
    
 
    This configuration works for local users (users that appear in /etc/passwd), and does not use any type of SQL Database. And note that most if not all commands executed here are run with root privileges.

    • You will need a CNAME for “mail” and (optionally) “www.mail”, or whatever you want to call the sub-domains (although the RFC 2181 states that it NEEDS to be an A record, fuck the police).
      • 
 
    • An SSL certificate. You can use the SSL certificate obtained following my last post using certbot (just create a mail.conf and run certbot --nginx again).

Before continuing check your journal logs (journalctl -xe --unit={unit}, where {unit} could be spamassassin.service for example) to see if there was any error whatsoever and try to debug it, it should be a typo somewhere (the logs are generally really descriptive) because all the settings and steps detailed here just (literally just finished doing everything on a new server as of the writing of this text) worked (((it just werks on my machine))).
    
 
    Now, to actually use the mail service: first of all, you need a normal account (don’t use root) that belongs to the mail group (gpasswd -a user group to add a user user to group group) and that has a password.
    
 
    Next, to actually login into a mail app/program/whateveryouwanttocallit, you will use the following settings, at least for thunderdbird(I tested in windows default mail app and you don’t need a lot of settings):

And, actually at the time of writing this entry, I’m configuring the web server again on a new VPS instance, so this is going to be fresh.

        Also, yes, yes it is supposed to look like this. This isn’t supposed to be a bloated mOdErN website; I use plain HTML and CSS and sometimes a bit of JS (meaning that I use no rEaCt nor bOoTsTrAp).
