For a long time, we've been successfully using Apache and mod_authnz_ldap to secure some of our legacy applications. Our employees could easily log in via their LDAP credentials. And while it worked, it had its problems.

When we made the move to Office 365, it was clear that at some point our old LDAP infrastructure will be fully replaced with Azure Active Directory (AAD) but I haven't had a good replacement for our simple mod_authnz_ldap solution until I realized that Traefik EE comes with an OIDC middleware.

A few tools, e.g. PHPStan Pro make use of the phpstorm:// protocol to be able to open files directly from your console with a click of a button.

Importing larger database dumps can take a while, especially when foreign key checks are enabled. This slowdown happens because each foreign key reference must be verified by the database server.

Back in 2020 I published our customized Magento development setup with Mark Shust's Docker Configuration for Magento and Traefik version 1. Since Traefik version 2 is now out for a while, I decided to upgrade our setup. This blogpost covers the different steps I took.

Windows Terminal is still one of my favorite and most used tools after migrating to Windows and WSL2. Besides using it to access all my WSL2 instances, I also use it to "bookmark" the most needed SSH connections.

I struggled a bit to get Xdebug working with PHPStorm on my Windows 10 development machine with WSL2 and Docker. After a bit of research, I finally found a configuration that works for me.

We've covered the basics of our Docusaurus CI setup already in another blog post. In this blog post, we'll show you how to the build pipeline to lint the nginx configuration used in our Docusaurus setup.

We started developing a few Sulu based projects. In this blog post, I want to share how we have configured our GitLab CI build pipeline to validate, build, and deploy our Sulu projects.

Not being happy with our current Docker build process in one of our projects, I was researching how to optimize the process.

Recently, I wanted to improve our CI build pipelines with some custom-built Docker images for our PHP projects. To make sure I can reuse the image in as many of our projects as possible, I wanted to compile and install as many PHP extensions as possible.
