Shamil's Blog. Software Engineering Processes, Android, CI, Devops.

My blog will move from blogger (used since 2006) to be a self-hosted, built with hugo.io. Address and domain will remain the same: shamil.gumirov.com. Currently a "beta" is launched (UI is not yet final and will be changed - waiting for a professional designers' feedback). Welcome to check it out!

The new blog is sharing a CI/CD built for my self-hosted services (like Jabber server, Blog, Mail, Jitsi meet, Mumble and others). Currently I use a Gitlab-based deployment with an orchestrator repo, makefile per service and private docker registry for container images. All services are containerized for isolation and ease of moving around. It's grown evolutionary, but resembles a k8s, so I've plan to move to k8s, maybe in end of December.

I've patched blog2md to correctly export comments too, see details. All 220 posts in the hugo-based blog are exported from blogger using this, without much modifications afterwards. Some are still needed, mostly related to preformatted code from pre blocks. I did not made match to blog2md yet and not sure if I will ever as they're pretty minor.
