These are my notes that I want to summarize about the OpenBSD operating system.

ModuleNotFoundError

I recently tried to look at CHIRP, a tool to program (amateur) radios. But at its start I only got an error:

$ chirp

    import yattag
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yattag'

Most of these kind of errors look like this and it's quite clear: we need to install a package called yattag -- more precisely it is a python module.

I do install python modules this way:

$ python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade yattag

Cloudlog

Cloudlog is a webapplication written in PHP that allows ham radio amateurs to log contacts online. I host my own instance on my server and I finally looked into why I never got satellites shown in SAT Timers.

I use php-fpm and it is running as the user www. It is kind of jailed and it cannot read /etc/ssl/cert.pem -- so the https connections cannot be verified and it failes at downloading the satellites infos from other websites.

I solved this by copying /etc/ssl to /var/www/etc/ssl via rsync, keeping file permissions intact. I may setup a cronjob for this maybe.

$ cd /var/www
$ doas rsync -avhzrp /etc/ssl/ etc/ssl
sending incremental file list
created directory etc/ssl
./
cert.pem
ikeca.cnf
openssl.cnf
x509v3.cnf

Z-Shell

Where is this alias defined?

I defined an alias ls but I forgot where it was.

$ PS4='+%x:%I>' zsh -i -x -c '' |& grep ls

Renaming multiple directories

$ count=1; zmv -n '*' '$f[1,4]/$((count++))-$f[12,-1]'
mv -- 2023-08-05-problems-with-apt-keys-on-my-hotspots 2023/51-problems-with-apt-keys-on-my-hotspots

Moves subdirectories into other folder structure with a counting variable.

$ count=16; zmv -Q '*(/)' '$((count++))-$f[12,-1]'
mv -- 2021-08-08-win10-grub2-and-uefi 16-win10-grub2-and-uefi

mv -- 2021-10-03-wordlist-generation 19-wordlist-generation
mv -- 2021-10-26-processes-accessing-mountpoints 20-processes-accessing-mountpoints

That was the second part, counting from where we stopped from the previous directory.

There was a draft post left in 2022 which I deleted, now I had to renumber the folders from 28-* to 34- to a number lower by 1.

$ for i in {29..34}; do zmv -n -W $i'*' $((--i))'*'; done
mv -- 29-using-nfs-on-a-raspberry-pi 28-using-nfs-on-a-raspberry-pi
mv -- 30-vpn-tunnel-into-hamnet-on-fedora-36 29-vpn-tunnel-into-hamnet-on-fedora-36
mv -- 31-winlink-on-linux-fix-invalid-handle-on-logfiles 30-winlink-on-linux-fix-invalid-handle-on-logfiles
mv -- 32-hamnet-on-the-pfsense 31-hamnet-on-the-pfsense
mv -- 33-changing-network-metrics-on-linux 32-changing-network-metrics-on-linux
mv -- 34-change-git-submodule-url 33-change-git-submodule-url

So, there is still one post left that is actually a draft post and I'd like to remove the leading number from that directory.

$ zmv -n -W '59-*' '*'
mv -- 59-pat-winlink-on-openbsd pat-winlink-on-openbsd
