Prepare Lubuntu 20.04 for software development

Prepare Lubuntu 20.04 for software development

ninjahoahong

After using windows, macosx, and serveral linux ditributions. For me, Lubuntu is the lightest and easiest to set up and run so far. If you search there will be two domains provide lubuntu which are lubuntu.me and lubuntu.net. You should use lubuntu.me which provide the most updated version of lubuntu. In this blog, I will focus on the additional packages after installation.

  • Download Lubuntu 20.04 iso file.

  • Create bootable usb using balena etcher or unetbootin.

  • Boot to the usb and install Lubuntu.

  • This is a starting screen using lxqt.

lubuntu-20.04-image

There are packages for apt and snap. I prefer apt since the app installed by snap command will take long time in the first launch.

I usually install brave browser in addition to firefox since some of the tools such as teams and slack are not working very well with firefox.

sudo snap install brave

sudo apt-get install blueman

sudo snap install postman

wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor > packages.microsoft.gpg
sudo install -o root -g root -m 644 packages.microsoft.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64,arm64,armhf signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/packages.microsoft.gpg] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/code stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list'
rm -f packages.microsoft.gpg
sudo apt install apt-transport-https
sudo apt update
sudo apt install code # or code-insiders

sudo snap install dbeaver-ce

sudo snap install keepassxc
sudo snap connect keepassxc:removable-media

sudo snap install node --classic

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

sudo snap install go --classic

sudo apt-get install wget apt-transport-https gnupg
wget -qO - https://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/api/gpg/key/public | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/deb focal main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/adoptopenjdk.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-cache search adoptopenjdk
sudo apt-get install adoptopenjdk-16-hotspot

sudo apt install maven

sudo apt-get install \
    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    gnupg \
    lsb-release
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
echo \
  "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

sudo apt install virtualbox

That is quite enough for me. If you need something extra you can try apt search or snap search command to find those.

The first taste of Rust - A simple you tube downloader

Recently, I just learnt Rust and using it to write a simple youtube downloader with reference from node-ytdl . In this blog, I would like to share the code and how did I make it. You can find the full source code here . Install development environment I am using Windows 10 and scoop package manager. Therefore, I use the following commands. Run scoop install rustup-msvc to install rustup . Run setx "%path%;%USERPROFILE%\\scoop\\persist\\rustup\\.cargo\\bin" to add rustup to the path. Restart termial (git-bash in my case) and check the installation with rustup --version; rustc --version; cargo --version Export custom RUST_HOME : export RUSTUP_HOME=$HOME/scoop/persist/rustup/.cargo/bin/rustup Install a toolchain for rustup : rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc Setup project Run cargo new simple_rust_youtube_downloader --bin && cd simple_rust_youtube_downloader to create and navigate to the project.

My books review: "The retrospective handbook"

Overview: The retrospective handbook is a useful collection of tips for preparing and running retrospective for agile teams. The central point of facilitating a retrospective is the preparation. All the details - even the smallest details such as how much paper is available or what the colours of the using pens - play an important role in running a successful retrospective. In such preparation, the most important preparation is the relationship. It requires team members to have high trust with each other to address any problems in great details and find the most suitable solution for those problems. My impression: The tips for running remote retrospective would be really useful for anyone especially startups in my opinion. All the startups I have worked for so far have had some foreign teams either external or internal to save operating money. In addition, there are a lot of remote work to save office renting space and almost all of those startups followed the agile method.
