Docker may not be installed on the machine,this can be an issue as ade is just a wrapper on the docker. you can use the following page https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/ for installation of docker or short instructions are as below.

Replay udp data using tcpreply

tcpreplay is primarily designed for replaying packets at the network level and may not be suitable for replaying UDP packets. Thus bit of work is needed to replay this data. update the input.pcap to us your desired MAC id's

tcprewrite --enet-dmac=destinationMAC --enet-smac=sourceMAC -i input.pcap -o output.pcap

Replace destinationMAC with the MAC address of the destination machine or network interface you wish to send the UDP packets to. Replace sourceMAC with the MAC address of the network interface you plan to send the packets from. Now you would be able to replay this packets

sudo tcpreplay -i input.pcap -o output.pcap

test script to read this packets ( Python3 script is provided to read data on port 9999 )

import socket

UDP_IP = "0.0.0.0"
UDP_PORT = 9999

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, # Internet
                     socket.SOCK_DGRAM) # UDP
sock.bind((UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))

while True:
    data, addr = sock.recvfrom(1024) # buffer size is 1024 bytes
    print("received message: %s" % data)

Failed init_port fastrtps_port7412: open_and_lock_file failed

Solution : how to check if the drive is ssd or hdd ?

Command :  lsblk -o NAME,ROTA

Result: 

NAME   ROTA

└─sda1    0
sdb       1
├─sdb1    1
├─sdb2    1
├─sdb3    1
├─sdb4    1

nvmep1    1

 1 for hard drive and 0 for ssd.

Add the pem certificate to linux

Add the ca-certificate to access the site.

Fix: actions does not have access to secrets, only the workflow is allowed to access secrets.

workflow to pass the secret as:
