Check Home Folder Space

User
check total space avialable ubuntu for home folder
Assistant
To check the total space available in the home folder on Ubuntu, you can use the following command:

df -h ~

Explanation of the command:
– `df`: Displays disk space usage.
– `-h`: Shows the output in a human-readable format (e.g., GB, MB).
– `~`: Refers to the home directory of the current user.

The output will show details like:
– Filesystem
– Size
– Used
– Available
– Use% (percentage of space used)
– Mounted on

If you want to check the space for the entire system, use:

df -h

For more detailed usage by directories in the home folder, you can use:

du -sh ~/*

This will display the space used by each directory within your home folder.

User
for home/admin1
Assistant
To check the total space available specifically for the `/home/admin1` directory, use the following commands:

### To Check Disk Space Usage for the Filesystem

df -h /home/admin1

This command provides:
– Total size of the filesystem where `/home/admin1` resides.
– Used space.
– Available space.
– Percentage of usage.

### To Check Space Used by Files in `/home/admin1`
If you want to see the space used by individual files or folders within `/home/admin1`:

du -sh /home/admin1/*

This command displays the size of each file and folder in `/home/admin1`.

### To Summarize Total Usage for `/home/admin1`
To get the total space used by the `/home/admin1` directory:

du -sh /home/admin1

This will give a single value representing the total size of the `admin1` directory.

delete .cache content
Assistant
To delete the contents of the `.cache` directory safely in Ubuntu, follow these steps:

### 1. **Navigate to the `.cache` Directory**
If the `.cache` directory is in your home directory (e.g., `/home/admin1/.cache`), navigate to it:

cd /home/admin1/.cache

### 2. **Delete the Contents of `.cache`**
Run the following command to delete all files and folders inside the `.cache` directory:

rm -rf /home/admin1/.cache/*

– `rm`: Removes files.
– `-r`: Deletes directories and their contents recursively.
– `-f`: Forces deletion without prompting for confirmation.
– `*`: Matches all files and folders inside `.cache`.

### 3. **Confirm the Directory is Empty**
To verify that the `.cache` directory is now empty:

ls -la /home/admin1/.cache

### 4. **Optional: Delete Hidden Files**
If there are hidden files (starting with a `.`), include them as well:

rm -rf /home/admin1/.cache/.* 2>/dev/null

The `2>/dev/null` suppresses error messages if no hidden files are present.

### 5. **Restart Applications (Optional)**
Some applications may recreate their cache when restarted. Restart any affected applications if needed.

> ⚠️ **Caution:** Deleting `.cache` content can remove temporary data for certain applications, but it is generally safe to do so. Always double-check if there is critical data before proceeding.

3. **Move mkcert to the Correct Directory**:
Move the downloaded binary to `/usr/local/bin/`, which is a common directory for user-installed binaries:

sudo mv mkcert /usr/local/bin/

4. **Make mkcert Executable**:
Change the permissions to make the `mkcert` binary executable:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mkcert

5. **Verify mkcert Installation**:
Check if `mkcert` is now installed correctly by running:

mkcert -version

6. **Install the Local CA**:
After confirming the installation, run:

mkcert -install

### Troubleshooting

If you still see "No such file or directory" after running the above commands, consider the following:

– **Check for Errors in Downloading**:
Ensure the `wget` command completed successfully without errors. You can check by looking at the output of the command.

– **Check if mkcert Exists**:
After running the `wget` command, you can check if the `mkcert` file exists in your current directory:

ls -l mkcert

If the file is not there, the download may have failed.

– **Use Curl as an Alternative**:
If `wget` is not working for you, you can try using `curl` instead:

curl -Lo mkcert https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/releases/latest/download/mkcert-linux-amd64

### Final Step

Once you have verified that `mkcert` is installed and can be executed, you can proceed with your SSL certificate setup.
