Permission to run docker command without sudo in Ubuntu

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

Running the command sudo usermod -aG docker $USER adds your user to the "docker" group, allowing you to use Docker commands without using sudo each time. However, please note that changes to group membership do not take effect in the current shell session. After running the command, you would generally need to either log out and log back in or run the newgrp docker command to start a new shell session with the updated group membership.

Here's a breakdown of what each command does:

  1. sudo usermod -aG docker $USER: This command adds your current user ($USER) to the "docker" group using the usermod command. The -aG options stand for "append to group" and specify that you want to add the user to the specified group.
  2. newgrp docker: This command starts a new shell session with the group set to "docker". This allows you to immediately start using Docker commands without needing to log out and log back in.

By running these commands, you'll be able to use Docker commands comfortably without needing to prepend sudo every time. Just make sure to open a new terminal or shell session after making these changes for the group membership to take effect.

Maven Create and Build Artifacts

In Maven, you can create and build artifacts using the package phase of the build lifecycle. The package phase is responsible for taking the compiled code and other project resources and packaging them into a distributable format, such as a JAR (Java Archive), WAR (Web Application Archive), or other custom formats. Here are the steps to create and build artifacts using Maven: Configure the Build Output: In your project's pom.xml file, you need to configure the output of the build. This includes specifying the type of artifact you want to create (e.g., JAR, WAR) and any additional resources to include. You do this in the <build> section of your pom.xml: <build>     <finalName>my-artifact</finalName> <!-- Name of the artifact without the extension -->     <plugins>         <!-- Plugin configurations for creating the artifact -->         <!-- For example, maven-jar-plugin or maven-war-p...

Maven Repositories (local, central, global)

Maven relies on repositories to manage dependencies, plugins, and other artifacts required for a project. There are typically three types of repositories in Maven: local, central, and remote/global repositories. Local Repository: Location: The local repository is located on your local development machine. By default, it's in the .m2 directory within your user home directory (e.g., C:\Users\<username>\.m2\repository on Windows or /Users/<username>/.m2/repository on macOS and Linux). Purpose: The local repository is used to store artifacts (JARs, POMs, and other files) that your machine has downloaded or built during previous Maven builds. These artifacts are specific to your local development environment. Benefits: Using a local repository improves build performance since it caches dependencies locally, reducing the need to download them repeatedly. It also ensures reproducibility by maintaining a local copy of dependencies. Central Repository: Location: The central repo...
