Today When I connect to Windows through Remote Desktop Viewer got error connecting to host prompt.
After searching the solution is to remove the server I’m having issue in $home/.freerdp/known_hosts and reconnecting again.

[[email protected] ~]$ vi ~/.freerdp/known_hosts
# In Vim, remove the line start with server ip you are connecting to by `dd`, and `:wq` to save the file.

This sheet is to record abbreviation in my daily work as a software engineer.

1. Copy existing jenkins folder, exclude workspace
2. Modify jenkins port in Jenkins.xml, default 8080
3. Modify AD Domain and rename an account to yours in config.xml

4. Create / Start Jenkins service in cmd with administrator mode:

   1 2	sc create <jenkins-service-name> <path/to/jenkins.exe> sc start <jenkins-service-name>

5. View migrated jenkins in your browser with port specify above, default http://localhost:8080

If you want to understand how Redux work, createStore(reducer) is the core function you should know and try to implement yourself. Here is a basic example of Redux, don’t worry I will break it down later :

1. Use React.PureComponent, it implement shouldComponentUpdate() by shallow compare prop and state, it is powerful with Immutable.js.
2. Use Chrome extension and checked highlight updates in dev tool to find any unnecessary updates.
3. Use React-virtualized for render huge list in small chunk at a time.

4. Use Production build, for example with webpack you need following config:

   1 2 3 4

   new webpack.DefinePlugin({ 'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('production') }), new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin()

Before Start

Make sure the server has internet access or you will have to download and upload packages manually. If the server doesn’t, I recommend CCProxy to grant temporary internet access.

It is painful to install something on server without internet access, you need to download package manually and upload it. CCProxy could help your server use your computer internet temporarily, here is the steps :

1. Download CCProxy
2. Go through CCProxy setup wizard
3. Open CCProxy > Options to check your port and your ip address.
4. Login to your linux server, use your CCProxy as proxy server, then you can curl to check if it works.

TL;DR

1. yarn why contextify
2. Remove/Update the result dependency from step 1. by modify package.json.
3. npm install

Full scenario

Today I encounter an error when npm install, the error look like this :

1
2
3
4

error M:\Github\asing1001.github.io\node_modules\contextify: Command failed.
...
...
..\src\contextify.cc(150): error C2039: 'SetAccessCheckCallbacks': is not a member of 'v8::ObjectTemplate'

This is caused by the package contextify too old, to find out which package dependent on contextify, I use yarn why contextify in command prompt :

1

M:\Github\asing1001.github.io> yarn why contextify
yarn why v0.22.0
[1/4] Why do we have the module "contextify"...?
[2/4] Initialising dependency graph...
[3/4] Finding dependency...
[4/4] Calculating file sizes...
info This module exists because "hexo-migrator-blogger#to-markdown#jsdom" depends on it.
Done in 2.30s.

Obviously it is refenrence by dependency hexo-migrator-blogger, I update package.json to remove this package and npm install again, it is fixed :)

Before start

To enable Gitlab-CI, you need to install runners, it is an external service to help build your project. Make sure network between Gitlab server and runner is accessible.

Install

1. Download gitlab-runner.exe to a folder, ex:C:\GitLab-Runner

2. Run Command prompt(Administrator):

   1	gitlab-runner.exe register

3. Enter URL and token from Project > settings > CI/CD > Runners settings, choose executor as shell.

4. After register succeed, run

   1 2	gitlab-runner install gitlab-runner start

5. Go to Project > settings > CI/CD > Runners settings again, you should find your runner here

   
6. Start using the runner by creating first .gitlab-ci.yml in your project root folder

Update

1. Stop service:

   1 2	cd C:\GitLab-Runner gitlab-runner stop

2. Download the newest binary and replace current gitlab-runner.exe.

3. Start service:

   1	gitlab-runner start

Uninstall

Command prompt (Administrator):

1

3

5

cd C:\GitLab-Runner
gitlab-runner stop
gitlab-runner uninstall
cd ..
rmdir /s GitLab-Runner
