I’ve been setting up a new Proxmox server and messing around with VMs, and wanted to know what kind of useful commands I’m missing out on. Bonus points for a little explainer.
Journalctl | grep -C 10 'foo' was useful for me when I needed to troubleshoot some fstab mount fuckery on boot. It pipes Journalctl (boot logs) into grep to find ‘foo’, and prints 10 lines before and after each instance of ‘foo’.
Want an even bigger game changer? fzf combined with control-r.
Enjoy.
This guy searches!
Yessir! Fzf is pretty much indispensable to me now.
https://atuin.sh/ does one better: history with context: $PWD, $HOST, time. There’s a bunch of other bells and whistles, but they’re easy to ignore to get an noninvasive upgrade to ctrl+R
Never seen ads in a read me before
Those projects contribute the bulk of funds for the development of fzf.
It’s normal to credit them and I’ve seen that done on multiple open source projects.
