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,...

Migrating history from TFS to Git with git-tfs

 Maybe you've found yourself stuck with a codebase in the TFS Version Control System and would like to move it, along with its entire history, into Git. If so, this article explains how to do it. Even if you don't plan to move, you might want to check out git-tfs - a bridge between TFS and Git, that allows you to work with your codebase in TFS as if it were a Git repository. I'd been using git-tfs for multiple projects, and since now the TFS server itself directly supports Git, it's about time to migrate it.[1] If you...
