Helpful Scripts

add_kernel

add_kernel.sh will add a python kernel linking from given conda environment to jupyterlab using the given display name. Created with heavy inspiration from neatshell's simple bash template.

Prereqs:

• Conda if on Ubuntu, miniconda3 if on MacOS.
• Must have python and ipykernel installed in given environment.
• Assumes .conda and /opt/miniconda folders are in home folder (change lines 100-107 as needed).

# give execute permission
sudo chmod 700 add_kernel.sh

# default os is mac
./add_kernel.sh -e my_env -d "My Env" -os "ubuntu" 

--help output:

usage: add_kernel MANDATORY [OPTION]

Adds a python kernel to the jupyterlab instance.

MANDATORY:
  -e, --env           str  Name of conda environment
  -d, --display_name  str  What is shown inside JupyterLab
OPTION:
  -o, --os            str  What os is used. Accepts 'mac' (default) or 'ubuntu' as parameters.
  -h, --help               Prints this help

example: add_kernel -e my_env -d 'My Env'

backup_server

backup_server.sh initiates rsync command to backup SMB folders in order of importance. All outputs will be shown in the terminal and saved in output.txt. Created to backup FreeNAS shares to an external hard drive over the network. Modify:

• Line 3: change name or order of folders
• Line 8: change location of SMB mount and backup location

Sample output:

initiate_ubuntu

initiate_ubuntu.sh will be a collection of commands to carry out common tasks whenever a new ubuntu server is created. Right now it:

1. Appends HDA SMB folder locations to fstab file
2. Creates new folders for the defined SMB folders under /mnt/Network/$folder
3. Creates .smbcredentials file with the passed -u and -p variables, with chmod 600
4. Mounts all folders in the fstab file

Modify:

• Lines 16-25, settings for server location, folder names, etc.
• Lines 132-146, folders that have spaces in them are special cases that need to be added to fstab with \040 in place of space
• Line 158, if the password protected folder is not outside the $remote_mount folder

mount_usb

mount_usb.sh asks user for drive info and then mounts the USB drive to

1. Prints all connected drives that are named "sd**"
2. Asks user for drive name (ex: sda1)
3. Asks user for file system type (ex: ntfs)
4. Mounts the drive to /mnt/usb
5. Shows contents of /mnt/usb so user can confirm it was mounted

Modify:

1. Lines 47, 50, 52, 56 location to mount the drive to
