If you are using the gitlab runner on your system you probably already saw the pile of cache containers he leaves after running pipelines. Thats nessecary cause .. well its a cache and could be reused. But I think after a certain amount of time its ok to clean-up the mess. If you search for it you probably end up with the gitlab-runner-docker-cleanup repository. It will clean-up cache containers after a certain threshold is reached. Since the git […]

First of all I configured two MX records one for AWS and one for my own server which should act as backup server: lukas ~ > dig MX zauberstuhl.de [...] zauberstuhl.de. 10800 IN MX 50 mail.zauberstuhl.de. zauberstuhl.de. 10800 IN MX 10 inbound-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws […]

My Sidekiq 3 installation seams to be very hungry in respect of memory. If you dig through the Net you'll find a lot of similar reports. For e.g. the unicorn web worker a memory-killer script exists which should prevent running into Madland. So I thought I take an example and do a similar thing for the sidekiq workers. If you give them time and send a graceful kill signal there shouldn't be any data-loss either. #!/bin/bash # check if script is […]
