A demonstration of Tuskfish's mapping capabilities. This track was recorded on my Garmin Forerunner 245 watch, as I drove back from Batemans Bay on the south coast to Canberra. The map is automatically generated from an exported .kml file of the track, which Google Maps can put bounds around. The tracks are downloadable so others can use them on their own devices if they wish. You can also prepare maps in Google Earth or Google Maps itself.

The Installation Guide and User Manual have now been updated for Tuskfish CMS V2. An updated API and Developer Guide will follow soon!

The user manual provides a comprehensive guide to Tuskfish CMS operations. It covers all all aspects from installation to adding and curating content, managing site security and customisation of themes. For additional information on how to customise Tuskfish please see the developer guide.

Tuskfish 2.0.3 brings compatibility with PHP 8.1, so if you want to wring the last few milliseconds of performance out of your site, use this version. New features include support for embedding Youtube videos, a sitemap generation facility, a 'minimum views' preference before displaying the views counter, and a live character counter for the meta description field. Third party libraries have also been updated, including adoption of Bootstrap 5.1.

To robbery, slaughter, plunder, they give the lying name of empire. They make a wasteland and call it peace.

Most tutorials about dockerising Golang apps tell you to use the Golang image as the base so that you can compile it. Don't do that! Why would you want hundreds of megabytes of unnecessary cruft in your image, when you could just have a tiny standalone binary, running in a container by itself? Build the binary on your development machine with a flag to statically link required libraries, and copy it directly into a scratch image. This will give you a wonderfully small, portable image with a minimal attack surface.

TLDR: You can't do it directly in standard Docker, unless you run the container as root, or weaken the file ownership permissions, which you should not do. That's why you're having so much trouble finding a working example with a non-root user. Even the official docs example doesn't set a user...which means the container will default to running as root. But I have a solution!

php --ini

You're welcome.

When developing a project you need to be able to run it in order to test it. But you don't want local changes to the configuration files to be committed. Most 'solutions' to this problem suggest untracking (removing) it from the repository. But if you want to keep the file in your project, then use:

git update-index --skip-worktree filenameOrPath

This keeps the file in the respository, but lets you change your local copy freely without including changes in commits.

"rsnapshot" is a file system backup utility based on rsync. It makes snapshots of your file system(s) at different points in time, which are stored as a time series, giving you multiple restore points. Using hard links to reference files that already exist on disk, rsnapshot creates the illusion of multiple full backups while only taking up the space of one full backup plus changes. When coupled with SSH and key-based authentication, remote file systems can be securely backed up as well. I built an automatic backup appliance for my webservers using a Raspberry Pi 4 and the excellent Argon One M.2 case
