Experimenting around directory permissions

The POSIX directory permissions are a little tricky at first: in this asciicast I show how to use a prepared Docker image with two configured users to give a try to them.

The x bit in a directory indicates the traversal permission: if you don’t have it you can’t access the content of the directory (i.e. the files).

The r bit is instead the read permission: it allows you to read the directory content, the files contained in it.

The x bit has priority: if you can read the name of the files but cannot traverse the directory, you cannot access the files themself.

The Dockerfile used in this video is here.

The command issued are

$ sudo docker build --tag=gipi/chmod https://gist.githubusercontent.com/gipi/d4b9dbf1ad448b98c973/raw/72209d984826680ed788e3e84e285ee82e554206/Dockerfile
$ sudo docker run -i -t gipi/chmod /bin/bash

Use with stand-alone player on your website

Download asciinema player from the releases page (you only need .js and .css file), then use it like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/assets/asciinema-player.css" />
</head>
<body>
  <div id="player"></div>
  <script src="/assets/asciinema-player.min.js"></script>
  <script>
    AsciinemaPlayer.create(
      '/assets/18144.cast',
      document.getElementById('player'),
      { cols: 211, rows: 52 }
    );
  </script>
</body>
</html>

See asciinema player quick-start guide for full usage instructions.

While this site doesn't provide GIF conversion at the moment, you can still do it yourself with the help of asciinema GIF generator utility - agg.

Once you have it installed, generate a GIF with the following command:

agg https://asciinema.org/a/18144 demo.gif

Copied!

Or, if you already downloaded the recording file:

agg demo.cast demo.gif

Copied!

Check agg --help for all available options. You can change font family and size, select color theme, adjust speed and more.

See agg manual for full usage instructions.
