Installing Standalone Archiva as a Service

It's very easy to install archiva as a standalone mode.

Get the latest standalone archiva distribution from apache.org and unpack it.
$ cd /opt
$ wget http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/archiva/binaries/apache-archiva-1.3.5-bin.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf apache-archiva-1.3.5-bin.tar.gz
ln -sf apache-archiva-1.3.5 archiva

Create service script for archiva and place it as /etc/init.d/archiva , which contains:
#!/bin/sh
# description:archiva
# chkconfig: 345 80 20
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/default
function main {
case "$1" in
start)
/opt/archiva/bin/archiva start
;;
stop)
/opt/archiva/bin/archiva stop
;;
restart)
/opt/archiva/bin/archiva restart
;;
status)
/opt/archiva/bin/archiva status
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | restart | status }"
exit 1
;;
esac
}
main $1

You may be want to run archiva from root context. The easiest way to make archiva the root context (/) is to name it "root"
$ cd /opt/archiva/apps
$ mv archiva root

<Set name="port"><SystemProperty name="jetty.port" default="8081"/></Set>

You may be want to run archiva process under different user. You should change /opt/archiva/bin/archiva with an editor. change following line:
RUN_AS_USER=archiva

Archiva service can be started:
$ service archiva start

It can be checked whether archiva running or not from a web browser:

Creating Multiple VLANs over Bonding Interfaces with Proper Routing on a Centos Linux Host

In this post, I am going to explain configuring multiple VLANs on a bond interface. First and foremost, I would like to describe the environment and give details of the infrastructure. The server has 4 Ethernet links to a layer 3 switch with names: enp3s0f0, enp3s0f1, enp4s0f0, enp4s0f1 There are two bond interfaces both configured as active-backup bond0, bond1 enp4s0f0 and enp4s0f1 interfaces are bonded as bond0. Bond0 is for making ssh connections and management only so corresponding switch ports are not configured in trunk mode. enp3s0f0 and enp3s0f1 interfaces are bonded as bond1. Bond1 is for data and corresponding switch ports are configured in trunk mode. Bond0 is the default gateway for the server and has IP address 10.1.10.11 Bond1 has three subinterfaces with VLAN 4, 36, 41. IP addresses are 10.1.3.11, 10.1.35.11, 10.1.40.11 respectively. Proper communication with other servers on the network we should use routing tables. There are three
