I was looking for a solution to run a GitLab pipeline locally. I haven’t really figured out an easy way, but apparently one could use the gitlab-runner tool to run individual jobs. Although you can install all tools for Windows I wanted to run the tools a bit more isolated. Therefore I decided to use… Continue reading Fun with WSL and local GitLab Runner
Speed up builds and separating infrastructure (update on becoming an Azure Solution Architect)
It has been a while since I last posted an update on becoming an Azure Solution Architect. When I started this journey in 2020 I didn’t have a lot of hands on experience with Azure. One year later I still feel like I’m learning new things every day. 🙂 Working on a real project helped… Continue reading Speed up builds and separating infrastructure (update on becoming an Azure Solution Architect)
Typolino – Adding Features (one year later)
Coming back to a side project after a year can be pretty painful. I actually wanted to see how it goes with Typolino. Is the CI/CD pipeline still working?

Moving youcode.ch to Azure – DNS configuration update
The CNAME record for the subdomain www.youcode.ch works like a charm. I was able to add the domain and the site is reachable. The validation via TXT record worked as well, but I don’t know how I can configure the DNS record. I had to contact the support team. Worst case I have to switch… Continue reading Moving youcode.ch to Azure – DNS configuration update
Moving youcode.ch to Azure
Since a few years I have this idea of youcode.ch. I never invested a lot into this side project after buying some WordPress theme and paying for the domain. I like WordPress for simple websites, but I never got warm with it for more complex stuff. Anyhow the website stopped working and appearantly WordPress is… Continue reading Moving youcode.ch to Azure

Getting Started With Azure App Services (and learning how to edit videos for YouTube)
I was playing around with Azure App Services and Visual Studio Code recently and I think this is a great service to get something up and running quickly – basically diving into the code right away. Let’s see if we can do everything just from within Visual Studio Code! I never considered to become a… Continue reading Getting Started With Azure App Services (and learning how to edit videos for YouTube)
