    Bash Linting

    pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Thursday, 11 February - 11:56 edit

I had some of my bash code commented on publicly and the one comment was “You should run your scripts through shellcheck.” This was probably the most useful bit of advice I’ve had to do with bash scripting.

    pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Tuesday, 9 February - 20:38 edit

After building an ejabberd container set I’m continuing my foray into the world of xmpp by looking at prosody.

We use a simple method of putting an Nginx site into maintenance mode. Just set a geo default variable on on and have it generate a HTTP 503 status response.

    Load Testing with Locust

    pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Wednesday, 3 February - 17:42 edit

This has been a very tough few days. I was asked to build some load testing scripts for use with Locust. I was told “How hard can it be? Just a few scripts to poke a web site.” The actual involvement requires investing in Python and digging deep into the chrome developer window to capture &ellipsisRead the full post »

    Apache Directory Studio – No More JNDI

    pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Friday, 29 January - 10:47 edit

In a previous article Apache Directory Studio – JNDI I explained how to keep the JNDI connection to use LDAP over a socks proxy. It looks like this has gone for good this time. The new version of Apache Directory Studio (Version: 2.0.0.v20200411-M15} does’t even have the drop down in the connection settings to choose the &ellipsisRead the full post »

    Templating

    pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Monday, 25 January - 21:39 edit

Quite often I find myself creating files using a template that populates content using the projects .env file. Mostly I find myself using good old bash to do this for me, but it has some limitations. Today I resorted to Jinja2 which adds a lot more flexibility, but requires python and the Jinja2 module. Using &ellipsisRead the full post »
