  • Migrating to Github Packages

    I have been running a free version of Proget locally for years now. It served as a home for Nuget packages, Docker images, and Helm charts for my home lab projects. But, in an effort to slim down the apps that are running in my home lab, I took a look at some alternatives. Where…

  • Supporting a GitHub Release Flow with Azure DevOps Builds

    It has been a busy few months, and with the weather changing, I have a little more time in front of the computer for hobby work. Some of my public projects were in need of a few package updates, so I started down that road. Most of the updates were pretty simple: a few package…

  • Packages, pipelines, and environment variables…. oh my!

    I was clearly tempting the fates of package management when I called out NPM package management. Nuget was not to be outdone, and threw us a curveball in one of our Azure DevOps builds that is too good not to share. The Problem Our Azure Pipeline build was erroring out, however, it was erroring in…

  • Packer.io : Making excess too easy
