My take at a CI infrastructure, Pt.3

All right, back again. Much text here. Let’s talk about … Containerizing The Binaries We are done with the build, now we have a binary. I went for something simple: Who knows best how to put this into a container? The dev guy. Cause he knows what he needs, where he needs it, and where it can be found after the build. ...

My take at a CI infrastructure, Pt.2

For CI I want the classics - a check in (push) to the repo should be catched by TeamCity, and trigger … a build of the artifact, once running of unit tests containerizing the artifact uploading it to a private Docker registry The question was: How? This post deals with building the code. Building Code When I build code I am faced with a simple question: Which library versions do I use? ...

My take at a CI infrastructure, Pt.1

… so far. It might be crappy, but I’ll share it, cause it’s working. (Well, today it started doing this 😉 ). But enough preamble, let’s jump in. The Situation I am in a new project. Those people have nothing but a deadline, and when I say nothing I mean it. Not even code. They asked me what I would do, and I said “go cloud, use everything you can from other people, so you don’t have to do it, and you stay in tune with the rest of the universe” (read: avoid NIH syndrome). They agreed, and hired me. ...

Congstar

Seit heute morgen bin ich bei Congstar, gewechselt von O2 (bzw. discoPlus) weil mir dort die Gespräche doch recht häufig abbrachen. Sah immer lustig aus - man schaut aufs Telefon, sieht 5 Balken, dann plötzlich “Suche”, dann baut er wieder auf, und man bewegt sich dabei keinen Meter. Das fand ich nicht soo spannend, also ging ich zurück zum Altvater D1. Congstar allerdings gibt sich beste Mühe, einen nicht so besonderen ersten Eindruck zu machen. Ich lege die SIM-Karte ein, und bekomme erst mal “SIM gesperrt” angezeigt. Aha. Leider haben die mir keinen PIN geschickt. Ich also auf Verdacht ins online Portal, in dem ich meine PIN tatsächlich heraussuchen konnte. Eingegeben, ok. Dann bemerke ich das Fehlen eines Betreiberlogos, bzw. einfach jeglicher Betreiberinfos in der Kopfzeile. Dachte mir “das wird schon”, und fuhr zur Arbeit. Dort bekam ich nach ca. 1h gegen 9:45h eine email, ich könne jetzt meine PIN auf der Congstar-Seite abrufen. Aha. Ja, danke. Ich nehme das zum Anlass und google mal nach Betreiberlogo und Congstar. ...
