Earlier this year we decided to test Renovate to manage automated dependency updates in our self-hosted GitLab environment. Being able to run Renovate in our own environment and configure it to our needs made a lot of sense. Since we run our internal tooling on a Nomad cluster, we had to configure a Nomad job for Renovate.
In our current Sulu CMS project a requirement was to populate default data when a content editor did not provide all needed information, e.g. social sharing information or SEO-related configurations.
In our daily life as developers, we often do code reviews for changes by the other team members in projects. Until a few months ago the feedback was in pure text form and has often led to longer feedback loops because the intention of the written feedback was not always clear enough. Additionally, it was not directly visible, if there were any blockers, which would have to be resolved before the changes could be merged.
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.
