Re: [Koha] DDoS attack on memcached

[Pablo Bianchi]

After reading about Github DDoS incident
 I found out more
about on this Cloudflare post

where
states:
> echo -en "\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00stats\r\n" | nc -q1 -u
127.0.0.1 11211
> If you see non-empty response (like the one above), your server is
vulnerable.

And it is, but testing from outside: nmap *TARGET* -p 11211 -sU -sS
--script memcached-info
in my case (a Koha fresh install with memcached) ports are closed/filtered,
seems secure because of the firewall and this line on default
/etc/memcached.conf

# Specify which IP address to listen on. The default is to listen on all IP
addresses
# This parameter is one of the only security measures that memcached has,
so make sure
# it's listening on a firewalled interface.
-l 127.0.0.1

So nothing to worry about, right?

Regards,
Pablo

Re: [Koha] Location to store text files and images in Koha

The OPAC documentroot is located at /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs. That said,
be careful when you access that location, a wrong file / folder deletion
could accidentally see you wiping out your OPAC.

Typically I would create a folder under that location and run with that.

I want this to be a permanent location so that updates to the software do
not over written the files each time.


It won't be overwritten.

I would also like to display images of new acquisitions on the home page.
Any help would be appreciated.


Look up the CoverFlow plugin.

Hope this helps

[Koha] Location to store text files and images in Koha

[Jack Boulier]

I am sure that this question has been asked a thousand times, but I am unable 
to locate an answer in the archives, or I am seeking the answer with the wrong 
terminology. 
I want to have links on the home page that retrieves the web page and displays 
to the screen. I am able to call the links to display information from a 
separate server, and have the text files display when hosted on a second 
server. But cannot locate them when hosted on the same server.
I need to be able to store files on my local Koha server to be accessed from

Re: [Koha] How to use housebound module?

[Field, Jonathan]

Hi,

You might want to look at the plan on the bugzilla report

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5670

In summary,

- Optionally, add additional authorised values to 'HSBND_FREQ'.
- Switch on 'HouseboundModule' syspref.
- Ensure 'ExtendedPatronAttributes syspref is on.
- On patron pages, when editing, add some to the Housebound deliverer
  and chooser groups.
- On a patron page, the Housebound menu should now be present.
  - create housebound profile
+ ensure Frequency values seem pulled from 'HSBND_FREQ'.
  - create 'housebound visits' (deliveries)
+ ensure chooser/deliverer lists are populated with patrons that
  have the Chooser or Deliverer Attribute type.
  - edit visits.
  - delete visits.
- Switch off 'HouseboundModule'
  - the Housebound menu should disappear

We were talking about this a few days ago and will try and add some proper
documentation with screens to the manual pages.

Re: [Koha] Using Koha for Union Catalogue

[Javed Sahil]

Thank you for replying Vikram,

 I have searched your union catalog, but it is not showing number of items
available in libraries. in "Availability"

here are examples. Availability: *Items available:* CNM School Mumbai (),
Availability: *Items available:* NMIMS SOE (),


Secondly please share if you are using only one server? or connected the
koha servers of all the libraries?and if all the libraries are continuously
adding their calogue records? and automatically updated on union catalog??or
you take excel sheet from all libraries and then import them to koha union
catalog?

Regards,Javed

[Koha] Using Koha for Union Catalogue

[Javed Sahil]

Hi all,
We are planning to use koha for union catalogue, initially 5-10 libraries
having round about 10 (one lac) books in total.
This count may increase to hundreds of libraries and millions of books.
Is koha favourable for union catalogues?

Javed
