Sometimes you have an email account and you want to edit the email/hour for only one of the domain on the account, here is how to do that.
SSH to the server ssh domainHere.com Edit the file /var/cpanel/users/userAccount file Add or Edit a line like this MAX_EMAIL_PER_HOUR-domainHere.com=100 Replace domainHere.com with the domain name in question, and 100 with the number of emails per hour you wish to allow. Save the file and run /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/updateuserdomains
Sometimes you don’t know or want to change the root password to be able to log into WHM as root (yes I know you shouldn’t log in as root, but sometimes you do). Here’s the command to do that via CLI
whmapi1 create_user_session user=root service=whostmgrd locale=en This will return something like to following
data: cp_security_token: /cpsess9427258339 expires: '1596644759' locale: en service: whostmgrd session: root:J7omtbeEeUhJ9yPK:create_user_session,yAs86MVYrHT46avjRLAGxhHaEFrFV3Hf url: https://server.domain.com:2087/cpsess9427258339/login/?locale=en&session;=root%2UtnqjEJVUBNo2JnKH%3acreate_user_session%55nNCwxRW4tzqEe6NUYKwWrDM7N485TiYA metadata: command: create_user_session reason: Created session result: 1 version: 1 You will use the URL and it will take you right into WHM
Here’s how to create a cert/csr with more than one domain name.
First you’ll want to create the directory. I use NGiNX so I like to put my certs in /etc/nginx/ssl, but you can put yours anywhere So now we will create the directory mkdir /etc/nginx/ssl/domainName Now we will cd into the directory cd /etc/nginx/ssl/domainName Now we will paste the following in the sslConfig.txt file.
[req] default_bits = 4096 prompt = no default_md = sha256 req_extensions = req_ext distinguished_name = dn [ dn ] C=US ST=YOURstateHERE L=YOURcityHERE O=YOURorgNAMEhere CN = YOURmainDOMAINhere [ req_ext ] subjectAltName = @alt_names [ alt_names ] DNS.
How to make the pricing table height the same.
When using the pricing tables module you will see that the height of each table is going to rely on the content you put there, so if you have different content in each table, you will see something like this:
This might be okay, but you may want to have those tables show with the same height. You can use the following CSS code:
Since Windows 10 has been released there’s no easy way to skip/hide updates you don’t want installed. In Windows 7 it was super easy. I finaly found a way to skip/hide them. You have to download a troubleshooter from Microsoft. HERE is the link. HERE is a direct link, not sure if it changes, but this was used 20200630. I also have a copy HERE.
I noticed an issue where after updating Windows 10 2004 with KB4557957 some printers were no longer working.
BetaNews did a good writeup HERE about the issue.
Microsoft released a couple off-schedule patches to fix it. HERE is the BetaNews article about it.
In short here are the links for the fix’s with the correct Windows 10 version.
Windows 10, version 1909 (KB4567512)
Windows 10, version 1903 (KB4567512)
Windows 10, version 1809 (KB4567513)
Here is how to change the NIC for IPMI to be shared or dedicated. I know this works on SuperMicro I’m not sure about other vendors

This will work if you made the PV your whole disk. If you want to do so with partition follow the link HERE.
I use XCP-NG and when adding additional space to an existing disk I scan for the extra space using the command below and the extra space doesn’t appear.
lvs So to get it to rescan the disk for the extra space you have to do the following command.
Unfortunately it doesn’t appear cPanel allows you to easily change the username. Most documentation I’ve read says to use the “Rearrange an Account” option, but if you only have one disk that doesn’t seem to get you an option. The downside to this is that is doesn’t fully do a normal restore it will restore the new account to the new directory, but it will symlink the old username to the new directory.
First you have to install acme.sh. I like using acme.sh because it’s all bash based. As with all posts I take no responsibility for anything and this is more of a quick help instead of a full guide.
I have a script that I use to deploy my WordPress sites. The only thing I recommend is if you use it make sure to add the xml-rpc.php block. I haven’t added that to it yet.
There error comes in many forms one of the forms are “The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.” If you’re able to log into the machine as a local admin it’s easy, you just do the following.
Use a local administrator account to log on to the computer. Select Start, press and hold (or right-click) Computer > Properties. Select Change settings next to the computer name. On the Computer Name tab, select Change.
I was having issues finding the correct way to add the remaining free space to the last partition (afraid to do so since it was on a live machine). I was finally able to figure it out.
Use this to see free space
parted /dev/sdX print free Then this to expand
parted /dev/sdX (parted) resizepart Partition number? ENTER NUMBER FROM ABOVE THAT HAS THE LVM End? [1075MB]? 100% (parted) q Then now since this was on a server that uses LVM you have to resize the PV
This is how to use the Xiaomi Aqara Wireless Double Button without the Xiaomi Home Hub (A ZIGBEE STICK IS STILL REQUIRED) using ZHA in Home Assistant. Other devices just work without any hard to find IDs.
ADD DEVICE TO ZHA
Go to “Configuration”
Then “ZHA”
Hit “Add Devices”
Hold down left switch while lights are blinking until the left light blinks and stops
You can now name your button and hit the back button in the upper left hand corner
The script to do this for you can be found HERE
If you want to run in a single line (not always a great idea if you don’t trust the source. Hopefully you trust me :-)

This works if you’re having PiHole hand out DHCP on your network.
nano /etc/dnsmasq.d/05-no-pihole-dhcp.conf Now we need to add the following to the file. You can change 1.1.1.1 to anything you want
# Assign alternate DNS for select hosts # Set Specific Clients to be affected dhcp-mac=set:altdns,00:00:00:00:00:00 #Device 1 dhcp-mac=set:altdns,00:00:00:00:00:00 #Device 2 # Set Alternate DNS dhcp-option=tag:altdns,option:dns-server,1.1.1.1

I love RealVNC. It works well and they have stand-alone executable here’s the LINK
For this to work you will need to dump a CSV export at least twice a month and then upload the CSVs from the ZIP to nextcloud. This could honestly be from anywhere nextcloud is just easy for me. Here’s links to the files. I try my best to paste them in the blog, but it doesn’t work work as well as I’d like.

How to use SSL tunneling on WSL and access on local machine. This is super useful when needing to VNC into a smartOS KVM VM.
ssh -L 0.0.0.0:PORT:REMOTE_IP:PORT [email protected]
These aren’t really tricks, but super useful if you want to change things without interrupting the end user.
Find service name since the display name may be different sc query | find “DISPLAY_NAME” sc config "SERVICE_NAME" start=disabled sc stop "SERVICE_NAME"
I just learned that you can remote control terminal sessions. They call it shadowing. I’ve only done it on Windows Server 2012 r2, but was super easy. You just need to open server manager, go to remote desktop services, then collections, then QuickSessionsCollections. Then you’ll see the connections in the upper right hand corner. Once you find the one you want you right click on the session and hit Shadow. By default this will ask the user to allow, if you want to override that and allows allow you can do the following group policy change.
I learned about XCP-NG not to log ago and love it. It’s great and easy to use. My only issue is I guess on newer versions of Windows 10/Server 2019 they were having freezing issues. I had the issue with Windows 10. I just went with Windows 7 VMs for what I needed until they get the problem worked out. XCP-NG works great with Linux. Here are some useful commands I’ve found.
I NO LONGER RECOMEND USING THIS WAY. I RECOMEND USING WP-CLI SEARCH-REPALCE. HOW TO USE CAN BE FOUND HERE.
Below is the search and replace for WP which I find really helpful when changing to a new domain. I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING THIS. MAKE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE YOU USE THIS SOFTWARE. ALSO THIS MAY NOT BE THE NEWEST VERSION SO IF YOU WANT THE NEWEST VERSION FOR SURE GO TO THE SITE.
This is probably useful to figure out how to reverse proxy Apache behind NGINX, but I was finally able to get NextCloud working on NGINX with no problem I like to use NGINX as my web server because that’s what I’ve always worked with. I’ve tried a couple times to get NGINX to work with NextCloud, but it would also end up not letting me log in. I did some Googleing and I guess it has something to do with how the cache is handled in NGINX.
