ISPconfig / dovecot – send mailbox quota warning to users

To alert users, that are approaching theirs mailbox quota limit you can use built in Dovecot plugin quota_warning.

1. Edit the main Dovecot configuration file:
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

[code]
plugin {
quota = dict:user::file:/var/vmail/%d/%n/.quotausage
sieve=/var/vmail/%d/%n/.sieve

# Do not change existing plugins defined above, just add new entries below

quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u
quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u
quota_warning3 = -storage=100%% quota-warning below %u # user is no longer over quota
}

service quota-warning {
executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh
user = vmail
unix_listener quota-warning {
user = vmail
mode = 0600
}
}
[/code]

This will execute defined script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh when user will exceed 80 and 95% of their mailbox space.

2. Create the alerting script:

[code]

#!/bin/sh
PERCENT=$1
USER=$2
cat << EOF | /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $USER -o "plugin/quota=maildir:User quota:noenforcing" From: postmaster@localhost.local Subject: Mailbox size warning Your mailbox is now $PERCENT% full. Please delete old messages. EOF

[/code]

OpenSSL check p12 expiration date

1. Check .p12 / .pfx certificate expiration date:

[code]
openssl pkcs12 -in testuser1.pfx -nokeys | openssl x509 -noout -enddate
[/code]
To specify password in plain text, add -passin pass:”${pass}”

2. Export key and cert from .p12 / .pfx:

[code]
openssl pkcs12 -clcerts -nokeys -in myContainer.p12 -out usercert.pem
openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in myContainer.p12 -out userkey.pem
[/code]

3. Connect to HTTPS server with client certificate:

[code]
openssl s_client -connect gmail.com:443 -cert usercert.pem -key userkey.pem
[/code]

Centos 7 systemctl tips and tricks

1. List all services enabled/disabled on boot (ex chkconfig –list)

[code]systemctl list-unit-files[/code]

2. Enable HTTPD + Mysql service on system boot:

[code]
systemctl enable httpd
systemctl enable mariadb
[/code]

3. Reverting to iptables from firewalld

[code]
systemctl stop firewalld
systemctl mask firewalld

yum install iptables-services

systemctl enable iptables
systemctl start iptables

# to save iptables rules use
service iptables save

[/code]

Online resize LVM partitions – shrink home / extend root

By default, most Linux Installers create separate /home partition, occupying most of the drive space.
When server is used mostly for system services, you may transfer free space from /home partition to /root.

Before adjustment we have 98% filled root partition and 141GB free space on /home, which we would like to use:
[code]
[root@oracle ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_root
50G 1G 50G 98% /
tmpfs 630M 0 630M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 477M 106M 346M 24% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_home
149G 60M 141G 1% /home
[/code]

1. First step is to unmount /home partition
[code]
umount /home
[/code]
System may refuse to unmount /home if you have users logged on to the box or services running from /home. After logging off / stopping services command should succeed.

2. Shrink old /home partition to 20GB, (system will force you to check filesystem for errors by running e2fsck)
[code]
e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_home
resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_home 20G
[/code]

3. Reduce the LVM to 20G
[code]
lvreduce -L 20G /dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_home
[/code]

4. Extend /root LVM to new size, utilizing 100% of free space on disk
[code]
lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_root
[/code]

5. Grow /root (ext3/4) partition to new LVM size
[code]
resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_root
[/code]

6. Mount /home
[code]
mount /home
[/code]

Result
[code]
[root@oracle ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_root
178G 50G 128G 28% /
tmpfs 630M 0 630M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 477M 106M 346M 24% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_home
20G 45M 19G 1% /home

[/code]

After these simple steps we have 72% of free disk space of root partition.

TL;DR

Resizing /home partition (/dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_home) to 20GB and transfering remaining space to /root (/dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_root):

[code]
umount /home
e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_home
resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_home 20G
lvreduce -L 20G /dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_home
lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_root
resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg_oracle-lv_root
mount /home
[/code]
