In the past I was using it more for maintaining my home servers, bare metal with Docker, however when I changed to k3s, I started using it less. Now I'm using this as a collection of useful scripts that I can use when needed. Also clean.sh is still useful.

`clean.sh`

This script is used to clean some of the files, docker dangling images, and docker stopped/unused containers.

`windows-backup.ps1`

This PowerShell script is used to backup files from a Windows machine to a remote Samba server. It uses 7zip to create the zip file, and then sends over the network using SMB protocol.

`dns-override.sh`

Aggressive, best-effort DNS override script for Linux hosts with support for multiple resolver stacks (systemd-resolved, NetworkManager, resolvconf/openresolv, dhclient, systemd-networkd, and ifupdown) plus direct /etc/resolv.conf writes.

It prompts for:

2 required DNS servers
1 optional third DNS server

Validation/features:

Accepts IPv4 and IPv6 literals
Rejects invalid or duplicate entries
Performs reachability checks (warn-only, does not block execution)
Can optionally lock /etc/resolv.conf with chattr +i

Run with curl | bash:

curl -sSL https://git.ivanch.me/ivanch/server-scripts/raw/branch/main/dns-override.sh | bash

Important notes:

Requires interactive TTY input (prompts are read from /dev/tty)
Requires root privileges (sudo is used/re-execed when possible)
Script is intentionally aggressive and may restart/reload network services
On heavily managed systems (custom agents, immutable images, enterprise policy), behavior is still best-effort
