Without restart:
Update new hostname
sudo vim /etc/hostname
also update sudo vim /etc/hosts accordingly
sudo sysctl kernel.hostname=mynewlocalhost
When done check your current hostname with hostname -f
Docker: Remove all images and containers
Problem:
You use Docker, but working with it created lots of images and containers. You want to remove all of them to save disk space.
Solution:
Warning: This will destroy all your images and containers. It will not be possible to restore them!
Run those commands in a shell:
# Delete all containers
sudo docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
# Delete all images
sudo docker rmi $(docker images -q)
This solution has be proposed by GitHub user @crosbymichael in this issue

Create a global git commit hook
Recently found out about these git hooks and they work flawlessly but my only worry was that I had to copy all my hooks over every repo such that I could use them, which was a pain sometimes.
Then started reading about this so called global git hooks, and found a fix.
Usually the default template library is found at /usr/share/git-core/templates and we are going to use that directory for all our hooks.
1. Enable git templates:
git config --global init.templatedir '/usr/share/git-core/templates/'
This tells git to copy everything in /usr/share/git-core/templates/ to your per-project .git/ directory when you run git init
2. Write your hooks in /usr/share/git-core/templates/hooks.
For example, here’s an update hook (located in /usr/share/git-core/templates/hooks/update):
#!/bin/sh
# Prevent pushing changes to master branch
if [ $USER != "mmphego" ];
then
if [ "$1" == refs/heads/master ];
then
echo "Manual pushing to this repo is restricted"
exit 1
fi
fi
4. Make sure the hook is executable.
chmod a+x /usr/share/git-core/templates/hooks/update
5. Re-initialize git in each existing repo you’d like to use this in:
git init
NOTE if you already have a hook defined in your local git repo, this will not overwrite it.
Why am I getting ‘Errno(105): No buffer space available’ when subscribing to multicast addresses?
I have been experiencing multicast subscription when subscribing to more that 20 IP’s via smcroute and python socket module. After vigorous googling I finally found a fix.
Linux OS, limit the number of multicast group memberships that a machine can belong to simultaneously. (A “multicast group membership” indicates that a machine is listening to messages for a specific multicast IP address. In other words, there is a limit on how many multicast IP addresses you can listen to.)
On Linux, in particular, the default limit is relatively small (only 20 on many standard kernels). However, this limit can be configured dynamically.
If you try to subscribe to too many multicast addresses at once, you may run into the error message below:
daemon error: Warn: ADD MEMBERSHIP failed; Errno(105): No buffer space available 22 daemon error: Warn: ADD MEMBERSHIP failed; Errno(105): No buffer space available 23 daemon error: Warn: ADD MEMBERSHIP failed; Errno(105): No buffer space available
The “Errno 105” in this message indicates that the errno value returned by the Linux network stack is 105, or ENOBUFS. This return value while adding a multicast address indicates that your machine is trying to be a member of too many multicast groups at the same time.
Network Tuning
Solution is to tune your kernel, backup your current sysclt.conf and replace contents with the ones below.
sudo vim /etc/sysctl.conf
# Bigger buffers (to make 40Gb more practical). These are maximums, but # the default is unaffected. net.core.wmem_max=268435456 net.core.rmem_max=268435456 net.core.netdev_max_backlog=10000 # Avoids problems with multicast traffic arriving on non-default interfaces net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=0 net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=0 # Force IGMP v2 (required by CBF switch) net.ipv4.conf.all.force_igmp_version=2 net.ipv4.conf.default.force_igmp_version=2 # Increase the ARP cache table net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 4096 net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh2 = 2048 net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 1024 # Increase number of multicast groups permitted net.ipv4.igmp_max_memberships = 1024
You can reload the configuration file by executing, sudo sysctl -p or by rebooting your system.
