Introduction

Hoppscotch is a utility like postman or insomnia that can be run locally. This quick guide will get you up and running in just a few minutes in scenarios where you want to self-host the app locally. This is bassed on hoppscotch's example docker-compose.yml.

⚠️ Despite Hoppscotch's docs stating that all data is saved with postgres, the collections data (your calls) are stored in the browser application data. When this data is cleared your collections will vanish.

Setup:

1. Clone the repo:

# DOCKER EXAMPLE: Generate assets with a docker build
#   1. Create this Dockerfile
#   2. Run: `docker build --output=foo --target=assets .`
#
# This results in an asset being created and exported to the
# local path foo/ on the host os. The key here is using
# 'scratch' to ensure an empty contianer the assets can be
# copied into before being exported. (Otherwise you get the
# entire OS.)

Versioning

RELATED: Artifacting.md

Versioning is an ancient problem, but this GIST mostly focuses on the computing era and versioning for software. This primer details a few versioning tactics along with some advisories and warnings.

Who is this for? Historically this would have been the bread and butter of the Release Manager, but these majestic creatures are long extinct. These days DevOps is responsbile for automating the SDLC, but this material can only serve to enrich anyone interested in or involved in the software industry.

GoAccess ELB Logs

Setup

Assuming you have an AWS account and a Load Balancer that's logging to S3, the only other things you'll need are:

• s3 cli
• goaccess
  • NOTE: Scroll down. You don't have to build from source.
• goaccessrc file to map the log format. Create the file ~/.goaccessrc
