I hate the fact that Apple stopped allowing Windows or Linux users the ability of installing it.

If you had an issue you had to have an iDevice in order to test it or a hackintosh virtual machine.

I offer WordPress hack repair services to help customers sort out the issue, find out how they hacked you and then put in additional security to help prevent further attacks. Do you want help with this?

@magicMirror damn! Thank you for the easy to understand explanation of that. Hopefully I can get it working under Linux with fewer issues. On Windows I didn't have to make changes to the permissions or user running within Docker containers. Not sure why?

So running on Linux, I would add my user on the host to the Docker group and restart but when I fired up the environment I could not write the files from the host to the Docker container. I had to sudo chown -r ben:ben /path/ to be able to allow PHP Storm to write the files. Only other thought was to have sshfs installed and mount an ssh volume from the host to Docker container to have read/write.

@magicMirror how would we resolve the permissions issue from host to guest Docker containers?

For the record these are sites we didn't build and the sizes are due to client resources like images etc.

One of the websites is 15gb and another is roughly 25gb. The issue is having something that works for in house deva and remote devs.

The issue the team are experiencing are:

1. Running out of disk space for the sites

2. Ensuring their local environment is setup correctly and works

3. Docker Desktop isn't supported on Linux and the solution should work for Mac and Linux environments

I have considered:
- Jetbrains Space Environments
- Docker
- Managed cloud hosted server

Solution should be reasonable for a small business with 10 developers. If its more than £500/m it's unlikely to be viable.

I had issues where Docker Desktop wouldn't show containers after doing a docker-compose up -d and file permission errors between host and Docker became an issue.

We don't want to have a new dev join the team and have to spend hours or days setting things up, we're looking to improve that.

Try smart mockups they do a lot of this and more.

I kept a Google sheet with Recruiter name, company, number, job title, salary, job type and columns for stages as a checkbox. I could then use conditional formatting to highlight top jobs based on my ideal criteria.

Oh harsh! This happened to us not long ago. Luckily it was an import so we removed everything from the file that had been processed and ran the task again. I feel your pain!

Raise a tickets using sticky notes until you have access to your stuff ;-)

Maybe review your disks and mount it using the correct format? If it's an NTFS drive then you will need to install the ntfs-3g drivers using: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

Reboot the machine and try to remount the drive. Hope that resolves your problem, don't give up on Linux, it's awesome and I never looked back.

@FilipeRamalho what about the PHPStorm range? The parent company have editors for different languages. Alternatively, you could see if visual studio will run in Wine, Crossover or Parallels?

Have you tried VS Code? It's multiplatform and runs pretty quick, it's built by Microsoft and it's open source *gasp*...

They are incentivising customers to leave a review which is slightly different. If they paid people in cash for leaving a review then that would be buying reviews.

@sunny44 you may need to restart NGINX and/or close the web browser as it caches redirects. I would look attractive he access logs and error logs usually found in /var/log/nginx/ to give you an idea of what is happening.

Make sure you setup the site correctly with LetsEncrypt, check the folder permissions to ensure the LetdEncrypt Daemon can write to the website document root.

If all else fails, we can have a look at it for you but would need to charge for our time.

The free version uses a flexible SSL and if the server has an SSL configured you will likely get a redirect loop. To fix simply use CloudFlare's SSL with the flexible SSL plugin for WordPress or you use your own SSL on the server and turn off CloudFlare's

Very simple and it made a HUGE difference to server performance on the same hardware. Concurrent requests were handled better and I cannot see myself ever moving back to Apache, not unless the incoming requests are handled by NGINX and reverse proxied through to Apache.

@mirzoz There is nothing wrong with WordPress, it works and does what it is designed for. If you choose bad themes or plugins then that's on you. Admittedly, WordPress does have it's flaws and isn't suitable for a lot of situations. Choose the right tool for the job :-)

Without a paper trail things could be forgotten, misunderstood or you could get blamed for stuff with nothing in writing to back you up.

@Vip3rDev server pilot asks for your root user password - WTF?! Why can't they install a Daemon using API keys for authentication?

As a musician and a developer, I must say this is the best thing I have read all, freakin' day! A++ to you and your creative genius!

We have the same issue - but we use DeepFreeze and windows cannot apply the update as it's running. So despite us telling Windows we don't want your stupid updates it still downloads, still wastes bandwidth and then we had to uninstall Deep Freeze just to get windows update to shut the f**k up and leave us alone. Despite us disabling windows update.

We thought about blocking the windows update ports on our router but Windows could change those periodically so endless cat and mouse. We thought about adding a callback to the windows update service URLs and adding them to our hosts file to redirect back to 127.0.0.1 but they could change the update URLs (unlikely but possible).

What I don't get is we as consumers have paid good money for Windows OS and they are dictating to us how to use it. Thank goodness we don't have legacy software that requires a stable environment otherwise we'd be buggered!

Anyone had success with blocking Skynet/Windows or do I have to go back to Windows 7?

Wow I remember the good ol' days of Turbo Pascal! They were dull lessons and it was a rather cumbersome language as I recall. Loops within loops!

Silly idea ... Maybe Google has cached the stylesheet? I use Website Developer Toolbar, clear cache, restart browser and then try.

Google chrome cache can be an absolute pain! It may be the source of your issues or maybe you are not targeting the elements with enough weighting?

Could you not interface the app with a blog RSS feed so they have some control over what content is pushed to the app?

If you want to mine etherium and bitcoin, I believe you would be better off getting a decent graphics card and setting up a home server that is dedicated to mining. I know someone who was looking into this so I could ask them and see what they suggest.

Good investigative work there! Custom fonts are great but this shows there are some issues. It is a shame that you are unable to load in a custom font and pass a parameter that tells the browser to ignore the local font.

@Linux what systems does it not support? Had no issues so far on most devices and browsers.
