From time to time I observe random errors on automated pipeline run. In mosts cases is the issue caused by not specifying which agent pool or which requirements pipeline has. Error

Traceroute alternative

Traceroute alternative

From time to time I work with machines with no traceroute installed and I need to debug networking. For those purposes, you can either install it using sudo apt-get install traceroute or use some alternatives.

Both should be available on Ubuntu 20.04 by default, but I am not sure if you can find them on older version or other distros. I will update this post with other linux distros and versions if I discover new tools or facts.

Terraform or Terragrunt modules from another repository in Azure DevOps

Terraform or Terragrunt modules from another repository in Azure DevOps

Azure DevOps (AZDO) is pretty tool, but sometimes it can be a huge pain in the ass. One painful topic is git operations. I use Terraform and Terragrunt very often to manage multiple environments so using modules is a must. To achieve stability, I am maintaining modules in separate repository with git tags. Loading external modules is same for Terraform and for Terragrunt, it uses same syntax and same commands under the hood. I am executing Terraform/Terragrunt within CICD pipelines,…

Executing into k8s pod (kubernetes)

Executing into k8s pod (kubernetes)

Today I am going to save here this command. It’s very simple although I cannot remember it!

15/10/2021 – UDPATE Because I was lazy to remember it, I wrote bash function which does most of the job instead of me. It takes one argument which is pod name and I stored in my .bashrc so it’s available everythere together with my bash.

Git push failed inside pipeline [Azure DevOps]

Git push failed inside pipeline [Azure DevOps]

Last day I was struggling with the git error inside the pipeline. The pipeline code was simple, it should change branch into the existing one, add one file there and push it into git

However, this error occurred every time

I tried many multiple things, changing git switch to git branch, tried to use git rebase – no success! But then I tried to modify pull to pure git pull – and it worked!!! Working code:

Using Gmail with Custom Domain at No Cost

Using Gmail with Custom Domain at No Cost

I like Gmail, but sometimes I have to use the email under the different domain and I do not want to integrate my domain with google ecosystem (G-Suite). I tried to use SMTP + POP3 integration but after some DDoS attacks to smaller mail servers some of Google IPs were blacklisted and I was unable to use this integration more. So I found another way how to fix this. -1. Create Gmail of you do not have one I assume…
