I was trying to run go get on a git repository hosted on a private GitLab
instance. This repository was stored under a sub-group. I was working from a
non-default branch. Since it is a monorepo the module/package was in a
subdirectory. So a combination of four factors complicated matters for me.
These Frequently Asked Questions are for those starting to learn Swift. As I start my journey I have a lot of questions. I'm documenting those here from the perspective of someone who has been programming for a long time in Python and has worked in other languages when needed (e.g. bash, Groovy, Go, PowerShell, etc.).
Are you like me and forget all the awesome things you learn about FreeBSD? My solution is to write this post and collect those commands and tricks in a single place.
I always wanted to spend more time learning Go. After a long break I finally got a chance to take it up seriously. The best lesson for me was to not learn it from scratch like I did with my first programming language. I learned a few basics first from the official documentation and Learn Go Programming - Golang Tutorial for Beginners. Since I'm already well experienced in writing good sized code bases in Python, I decided to dive right in and implement a project on top of Azure SDK. One big advantage of this approach was that I could learn from working examples in Azure documentation and build my knowledge over time. The second advantage was that I was building something useful right away that kept my motivation up; I wasn't building some abstract thing where I also needed to conjure a problem and solution.
I created my first FreeBSD port recently. I found that FreeBSD didn't have a port for GoCD, which is a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) system. This was a great opportunity to learn how to build a FreeBSD port while also contributing back to the community.
Edit: This post was mentioned in BSD Now episode 294.
Python's asyncio enables a
variety of use cases and workflows. In this post we'll explore the ability to
send a SIGHUP signal so one async task (or more) can reload its configuration
and continue. It's similar in concept to the nginx -s reload command where
nginx reloads its configuration without restarting.
Building container images on Kubernetes is a desirable capability. It opens new avenues of continuous integration (CI). We are no longer tied to using something like Jenkins to schedule our CI build jobs. We can use the scheduling proficiency of Kubernetes instead.
Do a search and you'll find very little official comprehensive tutorial-type documentation on how to apply one or more patches to OpenBSD. The information is spread among different manual pages and such.
As described in Security updates FAQ:
While applying fixes from the errata page typically requires less time than a CVS checkout/update and rebuild, there is no universal set of instructions to follow. Sometimes you must patch and recompile one application, sometimes more.
Here's how I patched an OpenBSD 6.3 system running on Cubox i4-pro with 32GB MicroSD card in July of 2018.
Have you ever seen an issue where Terraform recreates AWS EC2 instances on every plan and apply?
Ubiquiti Unifi Security Gateway (USG) is a great device to run at the edge of a home network. It becomes even better when it's running OpenBSD. This guide documents how to setup such a gateway. There are accompanying git repos to somewhat automate the process as well.
