  • Ok I did not want to sully that perfect heading.
  • So all the crazy starts at some odd time. You know … like a minute later
  • I’m supposed to be packing for vacation.
  • Which basically means, begging the better half to do it. And reminding her of things we need.
  • I am an absolutely terrible packer. And I have an absolutely loving family. I have never had to worry about how things go into the bag.
  • I cannot work on the script. It demands a lot of focus and attention.
  • So I’ll do something that I can somehow make tiny progress on, while multitasking
  • Like trying to move my blog into my Forgejo instance. and then have it automatically publish my posts.
  • Which basically means, I have to abandon my plans of automating all that stuff with Ansible. I’ll get to it. Just later
  • and setup that Pi and have a runner on another machine (one of my other Pis? Or desktops?) And see what happens
  • We’ll know one way or the other by the end of today
  • Why? because I’m tired of typing these posts into a remote terminal daily. I want my Mint and I want my GUI Emacs. And I want something to then automatically do the rest of the grunt work. On y va!

  • /home/jess/blogs/jw in your ~/.tmux.conf to enable mouse support to click between panes and other mousy stuff. Just did this. I was driving me batty otherwise
  • How do I watch a bash script? hmmpf. never mind. this is for later
  • Grr. ok I should just look it up
  • watch -n N ./path-to-your-script where N is time in seconds. Hopefully this quiets the monkey brain

  • What do i think i need to do?
  • Get a Forgejo runner installed
  • Put all my Hugo stuff in source control
  • (the hard part) Figure out an action that autopublishes the blog on a push?
  • Figure how to integrate all of the above, to my liking
  • Success!

  • Well, that was surprisingly easy!
  • Now to wait for any pending dues. There shouldn’t be any. (or much)
  • 2024-11-22 09:07: Created a tiny snippet in Espanso for these dates and times
  • 2024-11-22 09:09: Let’s see if it works
  • Just realised the whole blogging workflow is now so hacky and organic that it’s going to be difficult to explain to anyhow how I write and publish 😂
  • 2024-11-22 09:12: Coffee break

2024-11-22 09:54

  • Back from coffee break
  • Now trying to get a forgejo runner up
  • trying to get used to the dull headache that I get with intermittent fasting at the same time
  • Hurrah! Forgejo runner installed. Now to getting it configured and working with Forgejo.
  • I’m cargo culting the instructions, on a newly installed debian pc, without reading the prerequisites that are probably given somewhere. I keep stumbling into stuff that is not installed as I go throgh the instructions. I needed curl, then jq and then gpg. Now I need docker. Grr. Off to do docker
  • Alright. Docker’s installed and post-installation steps done!
  • Got my tiny debian minipc registered as a runner. Note to self: the runner user needs to be part of the docker group as well
  • getting my main desktop registered as runner as well, just in case I want to run some intensive job. (and for the added practice)
  • done!

  • some kubernetes administrative work
  • 2024-11-22 11:13: break
  • 2024-11-22 11:53: off to do some bank stuff
  • 2024-11-22 12:45: back. lunch. nap

  • Back for a teensy bit. Let’s see what I can get done
  • Trying to get forgejo working with ssh. somehow i cannot git clone repos, down to my machine
  • Figured it out. All because the router was not forwarding port 22 in to Forgejo
  • Trying to add my blog to git now. piece by piece.
  • learning to git submodule add … now that the themes are children of a git repo
  • move over. everything seems to be working.
  • tryin to poke at actions now
  • got test actions working! woohoo!
  • stage is set for me to do my actions now. but that will take time and thinking. something for another day.
  • time to go.
