Defragment File according the file types In Microsoft windows.

The built-in disk defragmenter in Windows can’t selectively defragment individual files or folders. To do that, a cool utility named Contig is available for free from Microsoft Sysinternals team. It can defragment specified files and folders, a bunch of file types and thereby optimize disk space.
Download it from here.
Using it is simple, specify the path which contains specific files that need to be defragmented. For example, to defragment all the files in the folder named “music”, type :
contig -s d:\music\*.*
Using contig to defragment files in a specific folder
The -s parameter instructs contig to perform recursive processing of all the subdirectories present in the given path.
Once the defragmentation process is over, a summary is displayed regarding the same.
Summary of results once Contig is run
To defragment files of only a specific extension say .avi in a folder named videos, type :
contig -s d:\videos\*.avi
The above will only look for files with .avi extension and defragment them. Nice and effective.
A very useful tool that saves time and defragments particular files.
Cheers.

Docker Container Management from Cockpit

Cockpit can manage containers via docker. This functionality is present in the Cockpit docker package. Cockpit communicates with docker via its API via the /var/run/docker.sock unix socket. The docker API is root equivalent, and on a properly configured system, only root can access the docker API. If the currently logged in user is not root then Cockpit will try to escalate the user’s privileges via Polkit or sudo before connecting to the socket. Alternatively, we can create a docker Unix group. Anyone in that docker group can then access the docker API, and gain root privileges on the system. [root@rhel8 ~] #  yum install cockpit-docker    -y  Once the package installed then "containers" section would be added in the dashboard and we can manage the containers and images from the console. We can search or pull an image from docker hub just by searching with the keyword like nginx centos.   Once the Image download...

Add The Group Information IN Yum Repository in simple Two steps

= Yum groups and repositories = Yum supports the group commands   * grouplist   * groupinfo   * groupinstall   * groupremove   * groupupdate Groups are read from the "group" xml metadata that is optionally available from each repository.

If you pass the optional 'hidden' argument then all of     the groups which are set to 'no' in the group xml tag.   yum groupinfo groupname     This will give you detailed information for each group including:   description, mandatory, default and optional packages.       #yum groupinstall groupname      #yum groupupdate groupname   Despite their differing names both of these commands perform the same   func...
