Ansible Error – “NSPlaceholderDate initialize may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called”

February 24, 2018 rafpeAnsible

If you have came across the same error as I did ( error below ) then solving this might be easier than you think

TASK [Test credstash lookup plugin -- get the password with a context defined here] ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
objc[6763]: +[__NSPlaceholderDate initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called.
objc[6763]: +[__NSPlaceholderDate initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called. We cannot safely call it or ignore it in the fork() child process. Crashing instead. Set a breakpoint on objc_initializeAfterForkError to debug.

Apache – rewrite non www to www

February 8, 2018 rafpegeneral

Simple and quick one 🙂 Just to rewrite non www traffic to www in Apache you can use the following snippet

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_SCHEME}://www.%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R=301,L]

1 2	RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_SCHEME}://www.%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R=301,L]

#!/bin/sh
for domain in $RENEWED_DOMAINS; do
        cat "$RENEWED_LINEAGE/privkey.pem" "$RENEWED_LINEAGE/fullchain.pem" > "/etc/ssl/certs/haproxy/${domain}.pem"
done

#!/bin/sh

for domain in $RENEWED_DOMAINS; do

cat "$RENEWED_LINEAGE/privkey.pem" "$RENEWED_LINEAGE/fullchain.pem" > "/etc/ssl/certs/haproxy/${domain}.pem"

done

And then just call renew using certbot and specify script as parameter for renew

certbot renew --quiet --renew-hook /scripts/renew-hook-pem.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

1	certbot renew --quiet --renew-hook /scripts/renew-hook-pem.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

Add this to your crontab and ur done! Doing it differently ? Share […]
