Hosting a .NET Core 2 app on Ubuntu

 A few months ago I'd started a fun side-project of moving my personal web apps from various Windows-based services to a single Ubuntu VM because of the release of Ghost 1.0. Later, I'd managed to replace my Bonobo Git Server with Gitea. The last piece was to move a custom app - which was written in .NET and needed to be re-written to run on Ubuntu. (And it took forever to find time to do that.) So after I had my app re-written with .NET Core 2[1] MVC, using Vue, Bulma, TypeScript and some arcane Webpack stuff that...

Making Gitea start automatically with systemd

 I managed to deploy my Gitea service, but had difficulties getting it to start automatically on system startup. (Oh, I really miss Windows Scheduler.) I stumbled upon an article explaining how to define a simple systemd unit. I attempted to write one, and it worked! Here is what I came up with:...

Running a git repo site on nginx on Ubuntu

 Last time around I wrote about migrating my webs to an Ubuntu VM. One of the few things that were left to migrate was my private git repo hosting site. I'd used Bonobo Git Server and had always been satisfied with it. Since it doesn't target .Net Core, I didn't see any reasonable way to run it on Ubuntu. After some searching, I'd fortunately stumbled upon Gitea. To get it up and running for the first time wasn't that difficult. I just had to: sudo useradd -m gitea wget https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.1.3/gitea-1.1.3-linux-amd64...

Ghost: making me learn nginx on Ubuntu

 So the time finally came: Ghost 1.0 is out. My setup is a little more complex than the vanilla one: on this site, there are two blogs next to one another: one here at /blog, and a separate one at /sk. I also have other Ghost blogs in different places and domains. This post documents the stuff I had to learn, and what I ended up using, in case I need a refresher. For various reasons, I run them in Azure. Setting it up was never easy - I'd wasted many, many hours on failed attempts and ended up...

Using KeePass with Firefox (or Chrome)

 Update 17. 1. 2018: see the bottom of the article Update 9. 6. 2019: The links to PassIFox are dead now. Please use KeePassHttp-Connector only. I'm striking out the links to it in this article. Thanks, Jeremie, for pointing it out to me. After a long time of using both KeePass and (synced) Firefox password manager to store my passwords, I wanted to find out whether I can use KeePass for both. I ended up liking this setup, so here's how you can replicate it. The entire process has these main steps: Export passwords from Firefox, Import them into KeePass,...
