How To's

This post is raw. No grammar is checked. When doing local development or just tinkering with this or that, quite often you want to expose something to the Internet. When it’s just single “something”, then you can just forward your port 80 from router, to your machine’s “something” port. But this falls appart if you have two “something” you want to expose to the Internet. You can’t forward single 80 port from your router to two different applications running on your machine. Because one application will be running for example on 8080 port and the other on 8081. ...

Today I decided to ditch Flyway Desktop execution from CLI and integrate into my Sway + Wofi desktop environment. Basically, there is what you need: Get an Flyway icon and paste it into flyway.svg file Copy that SVG file into $HOME/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/flyway.svg Change the color for the icon by adding fill="#CC0200" to the path Create an $HOME/.local/share/applications/flyway.desktop file with the content like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=Flyway GenericName=Database migration tool Comment=Database Migrations Made Easy Categories=IDE;Development Keywords=Database;SQL;IDE;JDBC;ODBC;MySQL;PostgreSQL;Oracle;DB2;MariaDB Exec=$HOME/.local/share/flyway/flyway-desktop/flyway-desktop --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --no-sandbox %U Icon=flyway Terminal=false MimeType=application/sql Because Flyway Desktop is Electron app, we are passing few flags to run it on Wayland system. If you still use Xorg, then just remove those flags. ...

There are several ways to pass the Ansible Vault password. classic CLI prompt which requires manual intervention password file which should be stored somewhere accessible to the Ansible environment variable Today I will tell about my latest approach. I am using tool called Direnv which loads and unloads different environment variables when you enter the directory. Direnv uses .envrc files to read the variables from.

As I’m setting up my shiny new blog, I stuck at Google Analytics integration. It looks like official PaperMod lacks some documentation on this topic. So… there is what worked for me. Don’t use analytics.google.SiteVerificationTag directive mentioned somewhere in the PaperMod docs or whatever.
