Now, let’s try to create something more useful, for example, an MCP server that will connect to VictoriaLogs and receive some data. In fact,… Read More: AI: writing an MCP server for VictoriaLogs0 (0) »

Scanning utilities To check Git repositories for a leak, at… Read More: Git: scan repositories for secrets using Gitleaks5 (1) »
The task is to create a Jenkins job to deploy Redis to Dev/Stage/Prod Kubernetes clusters. In the Redis: running Master-Slave replication in Kubernetes we did it manually to see how it’s working, now it’s time to automate it. The main question is how to pass parameters for different environments during the deployment? I’d like to… Read More: Jenkins: Redis deployment, and Helm subchart values0 (0) »

So,… Read More: Linux: PHP-FPM, Docker, STDOUT and STDERR – no an application’s… »
