Comparison of rar, bzip2, lbzip2 compression

Recently, I've been busy preparing various directories for additional archiving in Linux (it's about files from the /var/log/ location) containing archives of reports of performed operations in the system and running programs (services such as www etc.).

New script – Nextcloud installer for Linux Debian 11

I wrote a script that installs Nextcloud package (an alternative to other disk services in the so-called cloud), in Debian 11 (Linux).

MOTD for EL

I prepared new scripts package, that will install colorful and nice motd  (message of the day) with some system informations.
MOTD is generated with scripts, that will be extracted to /etc/profile.d where you may modify them to suite your needs.
fail2ban and docker stats will not be shown if user do not have correct permissions for that.
The script runs on EL based Linux systems ie: RedHat, CentOS, RockyLinux, Fedora etc.

Pure-FTPd with Let's Encrypt

Currently, the most frequently used FTP server by me in Linux is Pure-FTPd. It allows to use TLS encrypted connections. I thought it would be nice if I could link Pure-FTPd to my certificate signed by Let's Encrypt. By default, the application does not have such a possibility, so I wrote a simple script that helps both projects work together.

I would like to invite you to a short description and download.
