While preparing a Sylius Docker image for one of our merchants, I realized that I needed to add wkhtmltopdf to the Alpine Docker image as it is a requirement of the Sylius Invoicing Plugin we are using in the project.
As part of an AI project, I had to export data to train a tool developed for a customer. Instead of writing a script, I decided to use MySQL's built-in functions, which turned out to be a challenging experience but a valuable learning opportunity.
In the process of migrating our workloads from our old Hashicorp Nomad cluster to the new cluster, I encountered an issue where our Sonatype Nexus instance failed to start properly in the new environment.
About a year ago, our partner IONOS Cloud released an early access preview for their new Logging as a Service (LaaS) offering. The LaaS offering provides a centralized and scalable solution for logging, monitoring, and analyzing logs.
It's time for some spring-cleaning. I decided to delete a large S3 bucket we used for some backups on IONOS Cloud.
In the process of migrating our Hashicorp Nomad workload to our new Nomad cluster, I also tried to simplify our CI pipelines and ran into an issue with Nomad.
While setting up a GitLab CI build & deployment pipeline for one of our customer projects, I had the need to expose GitLab's environment-specific variables in multiple jobs as I needed the information in the build & deployment steps. Since I needed to run the jobs on different servers, I was not able to combine both jobs.
Deployer is a valuable tool that simplifies and automates the deployment process of PHP applications in a traditional non-container environment.
Following our guide to set up Traefik, Docker, and Compose with multiple networks, I ran into a problem:
a network with name customer_staging_default exists but was not created for project "customer_staging"
Set `external: true` to use an existing network
network customer_staging_default was found but has incorrect label com.docker.compose.network set to "staging_default"
One of my recent tasks was to run an upgrade of a production PostgreSQL database. Since we have PostgreSQL running in a Docker container in our Hashicorp Nomad environment, I assumed it would be enough to switch to a new Docker image and everything would be working fine.
