Installing Docker Apps On Synology NAS and Using Docker On The Command Line Linux Leech 2020-08-11 | In this video we do a comparison of two different Docker images that accomplish the same task.This is a deeper look and the previous video youtu.be/WWR3dT5A2KA covering "setting up an iperf3 server on a Synology NAS" We compare both of the dockerfiles that are used to create their corresponding docker images.We then create containers from each of these image files and make some modifications to each of the containers. With both of the containers running we look at the resource usage of each and also how we can obtain the output from each of our running containers. We finish off by using SSH to operate docker on a Synology NAS and startup a modified container from one of our iperf3 images so that we can run a bandwidth test from our Synology NAS to our local machine. #synology #docker #linuxSubscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleech

Android Screen Recording: How To Record and Control Your Android Phone - Windows 10 Linux Leech 2020-08-08 | Record and control your android phone from your Windows 10 computer.There are plenty of tools that accomplish the task of Android screen recording but most of them have low frame-rates, watermarks, capped resolution and limited recording time. The tool that we use in this video does none of this and can be used totally free without any of the above limitations.In this video we install scrcpy to record and control our Android phone from a Windows 10 computer.This is a method of recording an Android device that works with NON-Rooted Android devices and givesus a huge amount of control over the recordings. We can lock the rotation of the device, limit frame-ratescale the resolution, enter text and commands from the controlling computers keyboard send files and installapk files simple by dragging and dropping the files onto the scrcpy window and a whole load more.Scrcpy also does not watermark your recordings or limit the resolution or duration like some other android screen recorders.0:00 Intro0:22 Download scrcpy0:59 Extract scrcpy to Windows 10 computer1:52 Add scrcpy to system path3:30 Start ADB server4:30 Enable developer options and USB debugging on phone5:28 Connect phone to Windows 10 computer6:15 Run scrcpy7:00 Record android phone screen8:30 Control and record android phone using WiFi11:32 Record android screen over WiFi13:23 Stopping and Starting the ADB server15:10 Closing comments15:53 OutroScrcpy Windows 10 download:github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy#windowsScrcpy Features:github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy#features#streamandroid #Androidrecorder #scrcpySubscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleech

Cant Write! - Disk is Read Only! Ubuntu and Windows 10 Dual Boot Linux Leech 2020-05-17 | Having issues with hard disks being read-only? Dual boot Linux with Windows 10? This will probably fix your issue.There are a number of reason why a disk might be read-only the most common is, you do not have the correct permissions.In this specific instance the issue is the way Windows 10 shuts down, or doesn't.Windows 10 has a feature called fast start-up. What this does is put your computer into some kind of hibernation state when you click shutdown, instead of actually shutting down your machine. If you click restart instead of shutdown your computer actually restarts.This Windows 10 feature can cause error messages like "Unable to create steam library, HDD "Read-Only"" to occur when you are using your Linux OS.In this video we go through all of the steps needed to disable Windows 10 fast start-up.Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleech

Nautilus File Manager Scripts - Adding Superpowers to your File Browser Linux Leech 2019-06-21 | Nautilus scripts allow you to add extra functionality to the Nautilus file browser. We first created the directory to hold our Nautilus scripts then proceeded to write a very simple script that resizes any selected images and save a copy of them to the same directory as the original images.We then went over some of the things that you need to be aware of when creating your own scripts.You can create directories within your Nautilus script directory so that you can organise your scripts into sub categories. This will translate to sub items in your right click menu with the name of the corresponding directory. This is useful if you end up utilising a large number of Nautilus scripts. Personally I haven't found the need to use this feature as I have never gone above 10 Nautilus scripts.Command substitution tutorial:youtu.be/hMGHqDz6fPcFFmpeg tutorials:youtube.com/watch?v=_PMpxfhqNxQ&list=PLew9cBMjbI-11hiki-_yxtBnUdlDFIx0xSubscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleech
Install FFmpeg on Windows 10 - 2019 Linux Leech 2019-06-20 | How to Install FFmpeg on Windows 10 Easy and Fast.In this video we install FFmpeg on Windows 10 first we download and extract a static build of FFmpeg we then add our downloaded FFmpeg build to our system path so we are able to run it from any directory on our Windows 10 system simply by typing FFmpeg and not the full path to our FFmpeg binary.Download link:The download procedure has changed slightly you will need to download a specific zip file from the github link below:github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases You need to download the ffmpeg zip file ending in "win64-gpl-4.3.zip"--ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/-- old link no longer worksWe finish off with testing our newly installed instance of FFmpeg by changing the scale of a 4k video to 1080p. One thing to note about this static build of FFmpeg is that it comes with support for nvidia nvenc hardware accelerated encoders and Intel quick sync.So if you have a modern NVIDIA graphics card that has nvenc or a modern Intel CPU with support for quick sync you will be able to utilise those to dramatically accelerate video encoding tasks with FFmpeg.Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleech#ffmpeg
FFMPEG Python - Convert Audio Files to MP3 SUPER FAST ! 🔥 Linux Leech 2019-06-14 | FFMPEG Python - Convert Audio Files to MP3 SUPER FAST ! 🔥How to convert thousands of flac, wav, wma, aac, m4a, aiff, webm, ogg, opus or raw audio files to mp3 🔥super fast🔥 using ffmpeg and Python.In this video we start off by simulating a bash for loop and converting the flac test files sequentially using ffmpeg to demonstrate that only one CPU core is used to transcode the group of flac files to mp3 files using this method. Leaving all of the other CPU cores essentially idling.We then modify the python script with one simple change to use all of the available CPU cores to convert our flac files to mp3 files and this gives us a massive speed boost, we cut down the transcode time significantly.Finally we increase our transcode speed even more by using variable bit rate (VBR) mp3 files instead of creating constant bit rate (CBR) mp3 files.This allowed use to increase our transcode speed to over 725%🔥 ( yes you read that right, Seven hundred and twenty five percent speed increase ) faster than our bash for loop method.We could probably get this speed increase go a little higher if we were to use asycio instead of a thread pool as this would eliminate the thread creation overhead and thread banging wouldn't occur. I may test this in the future but I think over 725%🔥 speed increase is pretty good for a 20 minutes rough python script.Would be interesting to see how fast this would be on a 64 core AMD Threadripper.🔥OS: Ubuntu 19.04FFmpeg version: 7:4.1.3-0ubuntu1Github: github.com/Linuxleech/flac-to-mp3Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleech
FFMPEG Reverse Video - Audio and multitrack Linux Leech 2019-06-11 | FFMPEG Reverse Video - Audio and multitrackHow to Reverse a video with or without audio and video with multi track audio using FFMPEG.In this video we go over how to reverse a video independent of the audio so the audio will play normally while the video is reversed. We then move on to reversing the audio as well. Finally we get to working with a video file that contains multiple audio tracks.Using a complex filtergraph (filter_complex) we reverse the video and one of the audio streams then map the output to a new file that contains the reversed video stream, the reversed second audio stream and the original first audio stream that has not been reversed. Resulting in an output file that has reversed video, the first audio track playing as normal and the second audio track playing in reverse.The hardware accelerated encoder used (h264_nvenc) in this video requires a current nvidia GPU that supports nvenc and was chosen as it is significantly faster at encoding video compared to libx264. Also ffmpeg needs to be compiled with nvenc support in order to use this encoder. If your machine does not have this hardware and/or your ffmpeg install is not compiled with support for this hardware you can use any other encoder that you do have to encode your reversed video. This video will show you how to view the encoders that you have available in your ffmpeg install youtu.be/lW7DQaWjus4You could also not explicitly set an encoder, as ffmpeg does have defaults that it will fall back to.Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleech

Nohup - Hangup Immune Commands - Commands for Linux Linux Leech 2019-04-11 | Nohup - Hangup Immune Commands - Commands for LinuxIn this video we cover nohup and look at how we can use it to create hangup immune background jobs that you can still send data into.As nohup is part of the GNU coreutils, if you have the ls command you will have nohup.Lets say that you want to run a command or script on a remote machine over SSH. If for any reason you loose connection to that machine, whatever you are running will terminate.You might be thinking, well I can just use a multiplexer like screen or tmux, and you would be correct. Either of these will solve this issue. The only problem is tmux and screen might not be installed and you may not have the ability to install one of them. This is where nohup comes in. All you need to do is prefix your command, shell script or pipeline with nohup, run it as a background job with ampersand "&" and you are done.Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleechGoogle+: http://www.gplus.to/linuxleech
Jobs Command in Linux Linux Leech 2019-04-11 | Jobs Command in LinuxIn this video we go over the jobs command and how to control jobs in the terminal. We cover all of the ways that you can control command line jobs in Linux as-well as how to use nohup for hangup immune background jobs. We also cover bg and fg usage to bring jobs to the foreground or send jobs to the background. We also cover how to use kill to send different kill signals to background jobs.At it's simplest a job is a single command. Like ls. A job could also be something more complex like a pipeline, this would also be classified as a job or even a shell script.Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleechGoogle+: http://www.gplus.to/linuxleech

Random Number Variable in BASH - Linux Commands Linux Leech 2019-04-03 | Random Number Variable in BASH - Linux CommandsIn this video we go over how to generate random numbers in bash using the random builtin variable. The random variable doesn't act like any normal variable in BASH. Assigning a number to the random variable seeds the variables random number generator instead of storing it.As the random variable generates pseudorandom numbers, by controlling the seed value you can actually predict the numbers that the random variable will produce.The first example that we go over is how to produce random numbers that are within a range of 0-10 and 1.10.We expand on this in the second example by restricting the numbers produced to be a binary random choice of either 0 or 1.Following on we create a dice roll by restricting the range of random numbers to be 1-6.In the next example we shift the range to start at 1000 instead of zero or one and restrict the upper limit to 1500.The final example illustrates a method to create numbers larger than the largest number the random variable is capable of producing which is 32,767.We generate 6 digit random numbers but the same method can be used to produce much larger numbers.Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleechGoogle+: http://www.gplus.to/linuxleech
Run Shell Script on Login - Programs and Apps Too - Ubuntu Linux Leech 2019-04-02 | Run Shell Script on Login - Programs and Apps Too - UbuntuWe start off in the GUI by launching a program when we login then move on to see how gnome does this, and look at the files and directories involved.Finishing with a dot desktop file that we create manually to run a shell script.To create the dot desktop file we use a helper tool called desktop-file-edit which allows us to set our desktop file key value pairs with command line arguments.Desktop-file-edit also uses another tool to validate our dot desktop file before it creates it to make sure it is correct, the validation tool is desktop-file-validate.Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleechGoogle+: http://www.gplus.to/linuxleech

Tee Command in Linux - with examples Linux Leech 2019-03-26 | Tee Command in Linux - with examplesSo the tee command line utility allows you to spur off from your current command pipeline at a given point and write to a file, while allowing you to continue with your pipeline.Some common uses for tee include downloading files and computing hashes, while the file is downloading. So you can confirm against a provided hash that the file wasn't corrupted during download.Another common use for tee is to watch the output of your command pipeline while you are also saving the output to a file for later reference. Watching logs is like clock watching, sometimes you just need a summary of the data in your pipeline once it completes doing whatever it is doing.You can use tee for this too. So at the end of your pipeline if you pipe into tee you can save the output for later reference and pipe on to some other utilities to calculate a summary, like count the number of lines processed etc.Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleechGoogle+: http://www.gplus.to/linuxleech
Named Pipes - Inter-Process Communication Linux Linux Leech 2019-03-21 | Named Pipes - Inter-Process Communication LinuxIn this video we go over named pipes using mkfifo. Starting with a brief explanation of FIFO ( first in first out ) and LIFO ( last in first out ).Followed by examples of how to use named pipes and some of the pitfalls that you would encounter such as broken pipe errors and blocked pipes.We also cover having multiple processes writing to a single named pipe at the same time and the reason why having multiple readers of a named pipe is not such a good idea unless you are using a named pipe as a queue.Named pipes are not frequently used but do have a certain efficiency going for them. As the data that is sent through a named pipe is stored in memory the main benefit is speed. So for any process that you would normally think of using a temporary file you could probably use a named pipe instead.Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleechGoogle+: http://www.gplus.to/linuxleech
Command Substitution vs Process Substitution - What is the difference? Linux Leech 2019-03-14 | So what is the difference between command substitution and process substitution?This is quite a common point of confusion for new users of Linux and BASH. On the surface they can seem quite similar in their function but they are different and are useful for very different situations.Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleechGoogle+: http://www.gplus.to/linuxleech
Process Substitution in BASH - Commands for Linux Linux Leech 2019-03-12 | Process Substitution in BASH - Commands for LinuxProcess substitution allows you to run a single command or many commands in a subshell. You can then choose to either read from or write to your subshell.By using process substitution you can replace a lot of workflows that would normally require you to create temporary files and have multiple command lines. You can accomplish most of these types of flows using process substitution, and all on a single command line.One thing to remember when using process substitution is that you need to treat each process substitution in the same way that you would treat a file. For example you cannot provide echo with a file path and expect it to print out the content of the file. If you use echo in this way it will just print out the path to the file descriptor that was used for you process substitution.In this video we cover a few examples using process substitution the first example shows you how to produce a side by side listing of two different directories using pr, ls and process substitution. The second example uses diff toshow us the files that are in one directory and not in the other.In the final example we use md5sum to hash text that is written to our process substitution and demonstrate how the commands within our process substitution perceive this data.Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleech
Stderr Stdout and Stdin - How to Redirect them - Commands for Linux Linux Leech 2019-03-05 | Stderr Stdout and Stdin - How to Redirect them - Commands for LinuxThis video will show you how to redirect standard input, standard output and standard error also known as the standard streams. Throughout this video we go over redirecting standard error( stderr ) and standard output ( stdout ) to files so that you can have both outputting to the same file or separate files. We also cover redirecting stdin.There are many reasons to redirect stdout and stderr. An example of this would beyou are dealing with a program or utility that spams a large amount of output to the screen but you are only interested in error to diagnose some problem. You could trawl through the output searching for errors, but this is time consuming itwould be a much better idea for you to just redirect stdout to /dev/null and you will be left with only error displayed within your terminal.Redirection of these three standard file descriptors is common to see in bash scripts along with using exec to make your own file descriptors and is just another handy tool to have at your disposal.Just remember if you are redirecting stdout, stderr or both to a file and you want to keep the output from previous redirection make sure you append with double greater than signs as this will stop you from clobbering data that was previously written to your file.Subscribe: youtube.com/user/linuxleech?sub_confirmation=1Blog: http://www.linuxleech.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/linuxleechFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/linuxleech

RESIZE Panes - GNU SCREEN Linux Leech 2019-02-20 | RESIZE Panes - GNU SCREENIn this tutorial we cover how to change the size or dimensions of gnu screen panes. You can resize panes in units of characters or percentage of your main windows width or height.When resizing panes whether it is in height or width the first step is to make sure that the pane you wish to resize is the pane in focus. I.E the keyboard cursor must be on the pane you wish to resize.To resize the width of a pane ctrl + a :Then type: resize -h 40This will resize the horizontal width of the pane to 40 characters.When resizing the height of a pane no flags need to be provided.To resize the height of a pane ctrl + a :Then type: resize 30This will resize the vertical height of your pane to 30 characters.You can also provide the unit of size as a percentage. This will be a percentage of the size of your terminal window or your screen in the case you are using a full-screen terminal.Percentage examples:To resize the width of a pane to 40 percent ctrl + aThen type: resize -h 40%To resize the height of a pane to 30 percent: ctrl + aThen type: resize 30%Note:I am aware that when I resize the horizontal width to 50% in the tutorial It doesn't split the screen equally down the middle. This is anartifact of the size and style of font used. Screen does accept percentage units and will split you terminal down the middle if you setthe horizontal width of a pane to 50%.
