For quite a while I am looking for a private Docker registry server which is easy to set up and fairly trivial to run in our IT infrastructure, e.g. being able to connect to our central LDAP server for user management. A few months back I realized that the next major version of Nexus will be able to host docker images. Since we already have a nexus instance running this seemed like a natural fit for us. Finally, I found some time to play with the current M7 release which already offers the docker registry feature.

The administrative view of Magento 2 forces you to login, but in the website view the visitor can navigate as a guest through the pages. But if you do not wish to allow guest visitors to see your page without registration a valid login, Magento 2 leaves you on your own.

Ich folge der Einladung der PHP Usergroup Münster und werde beim nächsten Treffen der Usergroup am 19.04.2016 meinen Vortrag "Microservices: Klein, aber oho!" präsentieren.

The Magento 2 Transport Builder, responsible for preparing a mail message, wraps the mail component of the Zend Framework. Unfortunatly it is missing a method to add attachments. I submitted a Pull Request to Magento 2 to fix the issue but for now we need a work-a-round in our project. First we extend the Magento 2 Transport Builder like this:

When I began converting the unKonf API backend to make use of Adroit and Disco I wanted to give the willdurand/Hateoas a try to turn the API into a "real" HATEOAS REST web service. Since we use our Pathfinder component as a router it felt natural to use Pathfinder to generate the links for the relations between the different domain objects. Luckily the willdurand/hateoas is pretty flexible and allows to define custom Url Generators with a few lines of code:

Vom 20.06.2016 bis zum 23.06.2016 findet in Nürnberg die DWX - Developer Week 2016 statt. Ich freue mich dabei zu sein und meinen Workshop / Dev-Session "NoSQL mit PostreSQL" halten zu können. Die Teilnehmer lernen den Umgang mit JSON in PostgreSQL sowie den Einsatz der sog. Foreign Data Wrappers am Beispiel von Redis.

Recently I experimented a bit with OAuth 2.0 Server because I wanted to protect the API backend for the unKonf website using OAuth2 - mostly to see how easily I can integrate it with our Adroit middleware. While integrating OAuth2 Server and Adroit was fairly trivial, I was missing a Doctrine storage provider for OAuth 2.0 Server. Since I could not even find a package on packagist I thought about writing one myself. You can find the bitexpert/oauth2-server-storage-dbal package on Github. It can be installed it via Composer:
