Signal is a widely used messaging app that prioritizes user privacy and security. However, there may be times when one needs to use multiple Signal accounts on the same device. In this blog post, we will discuss the problem of needing two Signal accounts on Ubuntu 22.04LTS and how to solve it by installing the beta version.
The Problem:
Let’s say you have two Signal accounts, one for personal use and the other for work. Unfortunately, Signal does not provide a built-in feature for running multiple accounts on the same device. This can be a frustrating problem for Ubuntu 22.04LTS users who want to use multiple Signal accounts. Fortunately, there is a solution, and that is to install the beta version of Signal on your device.
Installation Steps:
Open the Terminal. The first step is to open the Terminal by clicking the Terminal icon or pressing the “Ctrl+Alt+T” keys.
Add the Signal repository. To install the beta version of Signal on Ubuntu 22.04LTS, you need to add the Signal repository to your system. Run the following command to add the repository:
echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list;
Add Signal’s public key. Next, you need to add Signal’s public key to your system. This key is used to verify the authenticity of the packages in the repository. Run the following command to add the public key:
wget -O- https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | gpg --dearmor > signal-desktop-keyring.gpg; cat signal-desktop-keyring.gpg | sudo tee -a /usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg > /dev/null;
Update the package list. After adding the repository and public key, you must update the package list. Run the following command to update the package list:
sudo apt update;
Install the beta version of Signal. Finally, you can install the beta version of Signal by running the following command:
sudo apt install signal-desktop-beta;
This will install the beta version of Signal on your system, which you can use to run multiple Signal accounts.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, running multiple Signal accounts on Ubuntu 22.04LTS can be a problem. However, installing the beta version of Signal can solve this problem. Following the above installation steps, you can easily install the beta version of Signal on your device and use multiple Signal accounts without hassle.
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a client-server communication protocol widely used for the web. The SimpleHTTPServer module in Python provides a way to create a web server in Python that can serve files from a directory. This module provides a basic web server with a minimal feature set, but it is often useful for quick development or testing.
The SimpleHTTPServer module default returns a directory listing in HTML format, sorted alphabetically, when the URL points to a directory. The default behavior is useful, but there are cases where it is desirable to sort the directory listing by modification date and show the modified date in a formatted way on the HTML page. This technical post will describe how we modified the SimpleHTTPServer module to accomplish this.
The SimpleHTTPServer module provides a function called list_directory, which generates the HTML directory listing. We first need to obtain the file modification times to sort the listing by modification date. We can use the os.path.getmtime(a) function to retrieve this information for each file in the directory. Once we have the modification times, we can sort the file list using the sort() function based on the modification times.
The modified list_directory function is as follows:
def list_directory(self, path):
"""Helper to produce a directory listing (absent index.html).
Return value is either a file object, or None (indicating an
error). In either case, the headers are sent, making the
interface the same as for send_head().
"""
try:
list = os.listdir(path)
except os.error:
self.send_error(404, "No permission to list directory")
return None
list.sort(key=lambda a: os.path.getmtime(a), reverse=True)
f = StringIO()
displaypath = cgi.escape(urllib.unquote(self.path))
f.write('<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">')
f.write("<html>\n<title>Directory listing for %s</title>\n" % displaypath)
f.write("<body>\n<h2>Directory listing for %s</h2>\n" % displaypath)
f.write("<hr>\n<ul>\n")
for name in list:
fullname = os.path.join(path, name)
displayname = linkname = name
# Append / for directories or @ for symbolic links
if os.path.isdir(fullname):
displayname = name + "/"
linkname = name + "/"
if os.path.islink(fullname):
displayname = name + "@"
# Note: a link to a directory displays with @ and links with /
file_time = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(fullname))
f.write('<li>%s <a href="%s">%s</a>\n'
% (file_time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d, %H:%M"),
urllib.quote(linkname), cgi.escape(displayname)))
f.write("</ul>\n<hr>\n</body>\n</html>\n")
length = f.tell()
f.seek(0)
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header("Content-type", "text/html")
self.send_header("Content-Length", str(length))
self.end_headers()
return f
We start by calling os.listdir() to get the list of files in the directory. We then sort the list based on the modification time of each file using the key parameter of the sort() function. The lambda function passed to the key parameter returns the modification time of each file using the os.path.getmtime(a) function.
Next, we generate the HTML for the directory listing. We use the cgi.escape() function to escape any characters that have special meanings in HTML. We then use the datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() function to convert the modification time to a DateTime.

In this video, we can see that the bot did not read the contents of the post, even though it kept saying that it had internet and it can read it. It was inferring its results from other information that came from similar posts.
This post started with this request to ChatGPT by OpenAI:
And it ended up in a loop where the bot would pretend to read the post and create a report. In reality, it was inferring the post’s contents from the title. Because of that, in its response, everything that was not the “normal” it got it completely wrong.
Notes:
It is amazing to see these results, even if they are not optimal.
Of course, the bot may not access new data to avoid corrupting it.

IP allocations First, we set up a static IP on the network device that would handle all external traffic and a DHCP on the network device that would access the management network, which is connected for maintenance. To do so, we created the following file: /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml using the following command: 1 sudo nano /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml; and added the following content to it: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # For more information, see netplan(5). network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: eth0: dhcp4: no addresses: [192.168.45.13/24] gateway4: 192.168.45.1 nameservers: addresses: [1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8] eth1: dhcp4: yes To apply the changes, we executed the following: 1 sudo netplan apply; Update everything (the operating system and all packages) Usually, it is a good idea to update your system before making significant changes to it: 1 sudo apt update -y; sudo apt upgrade -y; sudo apt autoremove -y; Install docker via snap In this setup, we did not use the docker version available on the Ubuntu repositories, we went for the ones from the snap. To install it, we used the following commands: 1 2 sudo apt install snapd; sudo snap install docker; Increase network pool for docker daemon To handle the following problem: ERROR: could not find an available, non-overlapping IPv4 address pool among the defaults to assign to the network We modified the following file /var/snap/docker/current/config/daemon.json using the command: 1 sudo nano /var/snap/docker/current/config/daemon.json; and set the content to be as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 { “log-level”: “error”, “storage-driver”: “overlay2”, “default-address-pools”: [ { “base”: “172.80.0.0/16”, “size”: 24 }, { “base”: “172.90.0.0/16”, “size”: 24 } ] } We executed the following command to restart the docker daemon and get the network changes applied: 1 2 sudo snap disable docker; sudo snap enable docker; Gave access to our user to manage the docker We added our user to the docker group so that we could manage the docker daemon without sudo rights. 1 2 3 4 5 sudo addgroup –system docker; sudo adduser $USER docker; newgrp docker; sudo snap disable docker; sudo snap enable docker; After that, we made sure that the access rights to the volumes were correct: 1 2 sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /volumes/* sudo chown -R tux:tux /volumes/letsencrypt/ /volumes/reverse/private/ Deploying After we copied everything in place, we executed the following command to create our containers and start them with the appropriate networks and volumes: 1 2 export COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT=600; docker-compose up -d –remove-orphans; We had to increase the timeout as we were getting the following error: ERROR: for container_a UnixHTTPConnectionPool(host=’localhost’, port=None): Read timed out. (read timeout=60) ERROR: An HTTP request took too long to complete. Retry with –verbose to obtain debug information. If you encounter this issue regularly because of slow network conditions, consider setting COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT to a higher value (current value: 60). Updating the databases and performing any repairs First, we connected to a terminal of the database container using the following command: 1 docker exec -it mariadb_c1 /bin/bash; From there, we executed the following commands: 1 2 mysql_upgrade –user=root –password; mysqlcheck -p -o –all-databases; Bulk / Batch stopping docker containers The following commands will help you stop many docker containers simultaneously. Of course, you can change the command stop to another, for example rm or whatever suits your needs. You need to keep in mind that if you have dependencies between containers, you might need to execute the commands below more than once. Stop all docker containers. 1 2 3 4 docker container stop $(docker container ls -q); #This command creates a list of all containers. #Using the -q parameter, we only get back the container ID and not all information about them. #Then it will stop each container one by one. Stop specific docker containers using a filter on their name. 1 2 3 4 docker container stop $(docker container ls -q –filter name=_web); #This command finds all containers that their name contains _web. #Using the -q parameter, we only get back the container ID and not all information about them. #Then it will stop each container one by one. A personal note Check the system for things you might need to configure, like a crontab or other services. A script that handles privileges on the docker volumes To avoid access problems with the various external volumes we created the mysql user and group on the host machine as follows: 1 2 sudo groupadd -g 999 mysql; sudo useradd -u 999 mysql -g mysql; Then we execute the following to repair ownership issues with our containers. Please note that this script is custom to a particular installation and might not meet your needs. 1 2 3 4 5 #!/bin/bash sudo chown -R www-data:www-data ~/volumes/*; sudo chown -R bob:bob ~/volumes/letsencrypt/ ~/volumes/reverse/private/; find ~/volumes/ -maxdepth 2 -type d -name mysql -exec sudo chown -R mysql:mysql ‘{}’ \;;

Can you explain in detail the steps ?
Answer
Certainly, here’s a more detailed explanation of the steps outlined in the previous message:
Set up IP allocations: The first step was to configure the network settings for the Ubuntu machine. This involved creating a static IP address for the device that would handle all external traffic and a DHCP address for the device that would access the management network. These settings were defined in a YAML file located at /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml.
Update the system: Before making any significant changes, it is always a good idea to update the system and all its packages. The command used to update was: sudo apt update -y; sudo apt upgrade -y; sudo apt autoremove -y;.
Install Docker via snap: Instead of using the Docker version available on Ubuntu repositories, the team decided to install Docker via Snap. Snap is a package manager for Linux that allows developers to distribute and manage their software applications. The command used to install Snap was: sudo apt install snapd;.
Increase network pool for Docker daemon: The Docker daemon encountered an error indicating it could not find an available, non-overlapping IPv4 address pool among the defaults to assign to the network. To solve this, the team modified the /var/snap/docker/current/config/daemon.json file to increase the network pool for the Docker daemon.
Give access to the user to manage Docker: The team added their user to the Docker group so that they could manage the Docker daemon without sudo rights.
Deploy the containers: After copying all the necessary files in place, the team used Docker Compose to create containers and start them with the appropriate networks and volumes.
Update the databases and perform any repairs: The team connected to a terminal of the database container and used the mysql_upgrade and mysqlcheck commands to update the databases and perform any repairs.
Stop Docker containers: The team used commands to stop all Docker containers simultaneously or stop specific Docker containers using a filter on their name.
A script that handles privileges on the Docker volumes: To avoid access problems with the various external volumes, the team created a script that repaired ownership issues with the containers. The script created the mysql user and group on the host machine and executed commands to repair ownership issues with the containers.
