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’.
Bash/ZSH aliases are invaluable for commands that you run often. I use micro as my terminal editor so I have alias m for micro and sm for sudo micro. Just 2 of maybe a dozen aliases I use. Docker has quite a large list of aliases with ZSH. Super super useful.
