This example shows a shell script that clones a physical computer’s hard drives into a new VirtualBox virtual machine, attaching each raw disk (via `VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk`) as a SATA storage device. It iterates through `/dev/sd?` block devices, creates a `.vmdk` for each, and attaches them to the VM, then adds any ISO images from a specified folder as DVD drives. The script also configures memory, CPUs, and boot order, and finally prints the VM configuration and a command to launch it headless, relying solely on VirtualBox’s command-line API.

Modified start.sh for Docker Toolbox.

This example shows a Bash script that automates the setup of a Docker Toolbox virtual machine, specifically creating and starting the default VM and regenerating its certificates when needed. It demonstrates shell scripting for environment configuration, using commands like `docker-machine create`, `docker-machine start`, and `docker-machine env`, alongside VirtualBox’s `VBoxManage` to check VM existence. The script also defines a `docker` function that wraps `docker.exe` with `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV` to handle path conversion on Windows, and it prints a status message with the VM’s IP address. The code relies on standard Bash utilities and conditional logic, not on any external visualization library.

Create a Logical Volume in Proxmox for shared data between LXCs

This example demonstrates how to create a dedicated logical volume for shared data across LXC containers in Proxmox. It shows the shell commands and system utilities required, including `lvcreate` to allocate a thin-provisioned volume named `shared-data` from the `pve/data` pool, `mkfs.ext4` to format it, and `mount` to attach it. The script writes an entry to `/etc/fstab` for persistence and reloads systemd. The visualization is plain-text code, not graphical, relying on command-line tools and file-editing rather than a data-rendering library.

Gist 699f3beb2f9901cd64e8

This example shows a Bash script for setting up full-disk encryption with LUKS and LVM on Linux Mint. It guides the user through an interactive installation process, checking for root privileges, prompting the user to read a reference article, and verifying the correct keyboard layout before proceeding. The script uses system commands like `lsb_release`, `id -u`, and `hash` to detect the environment and browser availability, and relies on `read` for user input. It emphasizes caution by warning that all data on the selected device will be erased.

Working drives

This visualization maps the process of mounting and managing external drives on a Linux system, using a flowchart-style layout. It shows the sequence from identifying a drive (via `lsblk` or `sudo fdisk -l`) through creating a mount point, mounting the partition, and updating `/etc/fstab` for persistence, ending with optional symbolic links in `Documents`. The code uses D3.js (`d3.forceSimulation` or similar layout) to arrange nodes and links, with text labels for each terminal command and file path. Data comes from the author’s collected notes and cited tutorials, rendered as a directed graph where each step branches into sub-actions like `sudo chown` for permissions.

Gist 46edd1c0f072399710e0

This example shows a Bash script automating the post-installation setup of an Elementary OS system, covering package installation, system cleanup, and hardware driver configuration. The code relies on standard command-line tools like `sudo apt-get`, `wget`, `add-apt-repository`, and `dpkg`, along with direct manipulation of system directories. It installs software such as Google Chrome, Gimp, and Steam while removing bloatware like Midori and Noise. The script also configures kernel updates, firmware, and proprietary graphics drivers from PPAs, emphasizing a streamlined, terminal-driven workflow.

The Gist to Clone All Gists

This example demonstrates a practical workflow for backing up or synchronizing a GitHub user’s public gists. It first clones every gist from a specified GitHub account over SSH, using a paginated API fetch to retrieve the list of gists and the Node.js `https` module to authenticate via an OAuth token. It then shows a complementary bash script that iterates through local directories, committing any changes with an empty message and pushing them back to their remote origins. The visualization highlights the interplay between the GitHub REST API and command-line Git operations for batch repository management.

A Vagrantfile for running the [Learn to manage a basic Ubuntu web application](https://learn.chef.io/manage-a-web-app/ubuntu/) Chef tutorial locally

This example shows a Vagrantfile that automates the local setup for the Chef tutorial on managing a basic Ubuntu web application. It defines a node virtual machine running Ubuntu Trusty, configures a public network with a static IP, and uses a custom Vagrant plugin API to run shell commands on the host, such as removing old SSH keys. Vagrant’s provisioner configuration and the `Vagrant.configure` block handle the VM provider and shell provisioning.

Gist 20b9219bcfa5ee87411a30118d3b6163

This example shows a shell script that automates the deployment of a Dockerized application on a fresh Ubuntu server. The script installs Docker and Docker Compose, creates a project directory, and copies a `docker-compose.yml` file into it. It then sets up a systemd service to run the compose file on boot and starts the application. The code uses `curl` to fetch remote files, `usermod` for user permissions, and `systemctl` to enable the service, with the actual container orchestration handled by `docker-compose` and `docker` commands.
