Recommendations for optimizing Linux operating machine configurations for container DevOps personnel

This article was last updated on: July 24, 2024 am

AS A PAAS PLATFORM ARCHITECT, CONTAINER-RELATED TECHNOLOGIES (DOCKER, K8S, ETC.) ARE ESSENTIAL. This article briefly introduces my own Linux operating machine configuration. Improve work efficiency and improve user experience. ❤❤❤

❗ Note:

This article uses CentOS 7.6 as an example, RHEL7.6 operation is similar.

Ubuntu system operation can be bypassed. It’s not difficult.

In addition, there will be some “optional” items in the following, mainly for some special cases, such as: Need to connect to the Internet through a proxy…

Replace the OS software installation source

Purpose: Speed up software downloads.

Can be replaced with: Ali, Tencent, Tsinghua, University of Science and Technology of China… of sources.

Taking Tsinghua Mirror as an example, the operation steps are as follows:

🔖 Reference article:

Tsinghua University Open Source Software Image Site - CentOS Image Usage Helphttps://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/help/centos/

Procedure

  1. Back up CentOS-Base.repo first

    1
    sudo cp /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo.bak

  2. Cover with the followingCentOS-Base.repo

    # CentOS-Base.repo
#
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client.  You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.
#
#


[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
baseurl=https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os

gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-7

gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-7



#additional packages that may be useful
[extras]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras
baseurl=https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=extras
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-7



#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages
[centosplus]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus
baseurl=https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=centosplus
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-7

  3. Update the package cache

    1
    sudo yum makecache

Configure the agent (optional)

sudo vi /etc/profile.d/setproxy.sh

export proxyserveraddr=127.0.0.1
export proxyserverport=8080
export HTTP_PROXY="http://$proxyserveraddr:$proxyserverport/"
export HTTPS_PROXY="http://$proxyserveraddr:$proxyserverport/"
# export FTP_PROXY="ftp://$proxyserveraddr:$proxyserverport/"
# export SOCKS_PROXY="socks://$proxyserveraddr:$proxyserverport/"

# export socks_proxy="socks://$proxyserveraddr:$proxyserverport/"
export no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com"

sudo source /etc/profile.d/setproxy.sh

YUM configures the proxy

1
echo "proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8080" >> /etc/yum.conf

Install and configure Git

Purpose: To use Git, after all, a lot of data, codebase, and software need to passgit clone

steps

  1. sudo yum install -y git

  2. To configure global users: git config --global user.name "<username>"

  3. Configure global email: git config --global user.email "<[email protected]>"

  4. (Optional): Configure SSH authentication

    1. 🔖 Reference documentation: GitHub - Connect to GitHub using SSH https://docs.github.com/cn/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh

  5. (Optional): Configure proxy proxy

    # 查看当前代理设置

    # 设置当前代理为 http://127.0.0.1::8080 或 socket5://127.0.0.1::8080
    git config --global http.proxy 'http://127.0.0.1::8080'
    git config --global https.proxy 'http://127.0.0.1::8080'
    git config --global http.proxy 'socks5://127.0.0.1::8080'
    git config --global https.proxy 'socks5://127.0.0.1::8080' 

    # 删除 proxy 
    git config --global --unset http.proxy
    git config --global --unset https.proxy

  6. (Optional): Configure Proxy Bypass, if the origin of the corresponding repository requires Bypass: git config --add remote.origin.proxy ""

Optimize the configuration of the shell

Purpose: zsh + plugins, to provide a rich and friendly shell experience. Such as: syntax highlighting, auto-completion, auto-suggestions, container related plugins…

Install zsh

sudo yum install -y zsh
zsh --version
sudo chsh -s $(which zsh)
