Burn ISO to cd/DVD/BD linux command line

Linux Systems Guides
  • There are still those times when {place whatever issue or project here} will require burning optical media, even a CD if you enjoy toying around with older, even ancient hardware.

    That said there are many GUI programs which can accomplish this. However that’s not always viable, or desired. Especially when you care more about the command line and keeping your brain from going sedentary, by constantly clicking a button and having something done for you. /snarky

    In this instance I’ll burn an ISO image of hdat2 to a cd from the command line using wodim on Debian.


    Install wodim:

    sudo apt-get install wodim
    

    Burn ISO to a cd:

    Find the drive name in which you will use to write the image: You can have a quick look at how to burn an ISO to USB which contains the same basic procedure for locating storage devices locally. Or continue on.

    Locate the device which you intend to use to burn by using the command:

    lsblk
    

    In this case the output is as follows:

    rick@deb:~$ lsblk
    NAME                        MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE   MOUNTPOINT
    sda                           8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk   
    └─isw_ccheigfjba_Volume0    254:0    0 931.5G  0 dmraid 
      ├─isw_ccheigfjba_Volume01 254:1    0 893.8G  0 dmraid /
      └─isw_ccheigfjba_Volume05 254:2    0  37.7G  0 dmraid 
    sdb                           8:16   0 465.8G  0 disk   
    └─isw_ccheigfjba_Volume0    254:0    0 931.5G  0 dmraid 
      ├─isw_ccheigfjba_Volume01 254:1    0 893.8G  0 dmraid /
      └─isw_ccheigfjba_Volume05 254:2    0  37.7G  0 dmraid 
    sdc                           8:32   0     2T  0 disk 
    

    This shows two disks (sda & sdb) in raid form, as well as the optical device we will use (SDC)

    Next, Navigate to the directory of the ISO (not required but simplifies the command) many times in the downloads directory.

    Now we are ready to burn the ISO to cd.

    Type the following in command line:

    wodim -v dev=/dev/sr0 -eject -sao hdat2cd_51.iso
    

    Here is the output after hitting return:

    As you can see, the -v flag (verbose) allows us to get a bit more data as the process is happening. Of course this particular image was only ~15MB, so the time was very short, larger images will of course take much longer.

    The burner door will open when the process is complete.


    To burn a DVD via command line : We’ll use a script called growisofs:

    sudo apt-get install growisofs
    

    Follow the same procedure to locate the proper device using the command:

    lsblk
    

    Move to the directory the ISO is located, and type:

    growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=hdat2cd_51.iso

    Re: Find or Locate a file or extension command line

    Install locate command linux: Use your sudo command!

    apt install mlocate

    OR:

    apt-get install mlocate

    OR:

    yum install mlocate

    Update the database:

    updatedb

    Depending on the size of the complete filesystem this could take a few minutes

    After the database has been populated:

    locate mariadb

    Where mariadb is the word your looking for

    These commands are if you are in the scripts directory! Changing permissions can be done from anywhere in the structure.

    Such as :

    chmod +x /opt/so-elastic-agent_linux_amd64

    Terminal chmod to executable :

    Permissions prior to chmod : chmod.png

    chmod +x so-elastic-agent_linux_amd64

    Permissions following chmod : chmod-x.png

    Then execute :

    ./so-elastic-agent_linux_amd64

    Insure you are acting as the user you just gave permissions to (the file owner) or at least have sudo privileges

    To make the script un-executable:

    chmod -x so-elastic-agent_linux_amd64

    Log into MariaDB

    sudo mariadb -u root -p

    Create the OwnCloud database:

    This is where many go wrong, we do not use ‘password’ we replace password, with our own password.

    CREATE DATABASE owncloud;

    We just created a database with the name owncloud

    CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS 'owncloud'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

    We just created a database user called owncloud

    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON owncloud.* TO 'owncloud'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;

    We just allowed user owncloud, full privileges on database owncloud

    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

    Now verify what we have just done:

    SHOW GRANTS FOR 'owncloud'@'localhost';

    You can see below I named this database ‘oc’ and the ‘oc’ user has privileges on database ‘owncloud’

    oc-db-priv.png

    quit;

    wget the OwnCloud source

    cd /var/www wget https://download.owncloud.com/server/stable/owncloud-complete-latest.tar.bz2

    Grab sha256 to verify the download

    wget https://download.owncloud.com/server/stable/owncloud-complete-latest.tar.bz2.sha256

    BEFORE installing, verify if the download of OwnCloud matches what the OwnCloud team wanted you to have, this is important always.

    sudo sha256sum -c owncloud-complete-latest.tar.bz2.sha256 < owncloud-complete-latest.tar.bz2

    Out put should say ‘OK’ if everything matches.

    Change ownership of the directory to www-data user.

    sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/owncloud

    Configure Vhost for OwnCloud

    This will open a new file in 'sites-available and name this file ‘owncloud.conf’

    Change the ServerName and ServerAlias, as well as log file names, to whatever your domain is. There are many ways to do this keep in mind.

    sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/owncloud.conf <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName oc ServerAlias www.oc DocumentRoot /var/www/owncloud ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/oc.io-error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/oc.io-access.log combined Alias /owncloud "/var/www/owncloud/" <Directory /var/www/owncloud/> Options +FollowSymlinks AllowOverride All <IfModule mod_dav.c> Dav off </IfModule> SetEnv HOME /var/www/owncloud SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/owncloud </Directory> </VirtualHost>

    Enable and verify the owncloud vhost

    sudo a2ensite owncloud.conf sudo apachectl configtest

    oc-apache.png

    Now install OwnCloud

    Change the database name, user, and password to whatever you named the OwnCloud database earlier;

    Change the ‘admin user’ and ‘admin pass’ to whatever you want the new OwnCloud admin account to be.

    sudo -u www-data /var/www/owncloud/occ maintenance:install \ --database "mysql" \ --database-name "owncloud" \ --database-user "owncloud"\ --database-pass "password" \ --admin-user "admin" \ --admin-pass "your new owncloud admin password"

    Edit the OwnCloud config file to add the domain you used earlier in the Apache2 vhost file:

    sudo nano /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php 'trusted_domains' => array ( 0 => 'localhost', 1 => 'whatever your domain is goes here', ),

    Personally I restart the server at this point, which will restart all services. Then visit the domain / IP of your settings and you should see the OwnCloud login page. Use the credentials you setup for the admin user.

    System cron setting:

    sudo crontab -u www-data -e */15 * * * * /usr/bin/php -f /var/www/owncloud/occ system:cron

    Memcache with Redis we installed earlier:

    sudo nano /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php 'filelocking.enabled' => true, 'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APCu', 'memcache.locking' => '\OC\Memcache\Redis', 'redis' => [ 'host' => 'localhost', 'port' => 6379, ],

    Go restart the server again and enjoy!
