Wafy's Tools

It has been an interesting month. The internet connection got updated, but needed to get a new IP for things. I had to get at least the Wherearegames migrated to a container. I was able it at least setup, but now I have been working on getting more of the pieces migrated into Gitea. Been running into trying to figure out how the composer registry works and it has been challenging. Just seems I am missing something and it doesn't seem to be in the documentation. The nice thing is there is progress.

Not much for progress. Gitea Actions are kicking my ass. It publishes and everything, but it still fails. It is so frustrating. I have been trying a different way to put my self-signed CA in the docker container. Still trying to figure that one out. 

Was able to the certificates figured out. Got to a point where the docker image made it to the server, how ever the pipeline still failed for some reason. Still trying to figure that out, it is complete but failed. So lame, but that is the current project. 

Stats wise, looks like I got 11 to 16 unique users last month. The SEO looks pretty good as well. Plenty of spikes. Not much for clicks yet. I do need to step up my game a bit once I can get this pipeline figured out. 

Making some progress on learning the GitHub Pipeline system for building and deploying my code. Kind got stuck though, apparently docker doesn't like working with unencrypted sites. Sadly my internal sites don't have certificates. So I guess I will have to setup CA files and built a internal CA covered certificates. It is just a pain to do and be recognized by all of the systems I have. So hopefully by the end of month I will get that going and hopefully able to get the rest of my code into Gitea.

Semi progress. Been working on some server changes and one is replacing Jenkins for my CI/CD. Just couldn't get it to run reliably. I would get it to a point and it would run, then when I got back to it wouldn't work. I did like the documenting abilities it had and the fact that you could use a docker file with it, but time to move to something else.

Too busy with other projects, but getting close to catching on them. Hopefully I can get back to work on these projects.

Looks like someone submitted a ticket but didn't go through. I will have to add that to the list of fixes that I need to do.

Stats wise WAG had between 9 and 18 unique users. DB isn't worth talking about as no one attempted to log in. Though for WAG the SEO looks active which is good. Think I need to do a bit more to get more clicks. 

Things have been distracting. Though with recent use I think I need to stick to some other pieces. Hopefully something simpler to add for now. Still might be distracting for now.

Stats are back to normal again. Had 13-18 unique users for WhereAreGames. SEO looks pretty active. Did notice a number of random links from junk sites. Dynaballot still no logins so no new ballots. So not worth looking at. Though the SEO is a bit mixed. 

Had a bit of an accident and lost a few months of articles. Wanted to upgrade Drupal and had to rebuild the database, didn't realize I didn't have a backup first. So I restored from an older version. As I had here before this past month has been busy with migrating systems and not a lot of time programming. Which I know I need to get back to. Because of this error I am thinking it might be time to go to a quarterly update. I know I made some progress in November, but not enough to show. Going to see what this next month brings hopefully I can be more active.

Another short and sweet entry. Ending of summer so might get a chance to work on things. WhereAreGames was semi busy this past month with between 25 and 32 unique users. Both the SEO's seem to be getting plenty of impressions, just not many clicks. Dynaballot didn't have any logins. 

Keeping it short and sweet. WhereAreGames had about 20 to 30 unique users. The SEO looks active on Google, but not on Bing. Still no log ins for Dynaballot, contemplating doing away with log ins and just make it so the user who creates the ballot, has to use the same machine to admin the ballot. I don't like having to authenticate either, but it is the only way to admin across machines.
