I know what you’re thinking…what happened to the 2016 release? Well, 2016 was an interesting year, and unfortunately we weren’t able to get out a mid-year release, and our Q4 release got pushed to Q1 of this year. But, finally, an updated version of SecureCI™ is here! So, what can you expect from this release? Upgrades First and […]
I recently needed to setup OpenLDAP for a client. We setup an entire pipeline, similar to SecureCI and wanted to tie all of the tools into one login system. The installation was pretty straitforward, but we wanted to ensure our tooling stack was secured, so we moved a bit beyond the basics. This is all […]
I have now twice spent multiple days trying to get a Gitblit server to communicate with a Jenkins server over SSH. This was done as part of ongoing work to update the Coveros SecureCI product with the goal of properly configuring both tools and a self-signed certificate to enable Gitblit’s post-commit jenkins hook to trigger builds. Given that […]
On my last two posts I went through setting up CI for your PHP project. While I promised this post would cover setting up CD for your pipeline, I realized that I left out a fairly useful (but in my mind unique) part of the process. Our PHP application is using Laravel as the back […]
Bringing in DevOps to an organization means making some changes to the culture and structure of teams and the organization. These changes are often disruptive and frequently meet with some resistance from leadership, teams, and individuals. A successful DevOps team is cross-functional, with members that represent the business, development, quality assurance, operations, and anyone else […]
Last month I started writing about the DevOps pipeline that I built out for a PHP project. Today I plan on filling it out a bit more. What I described last week is what many people consider a full CI Pipeline, executing unit tests, code coverage, and static analysis. I threw in a little more […]
I recently was put on a project where we are doing development for a website. There was already a large code, and we went in to add features in order to complete the site, and perform code refactoring when necessary. In order to accomplish this successfully, we decided to follow the SecureAgileTM, which involves ensuring […]
It’s that time of year, new year, new SecureCI release! 2015 ended well, with Coveros releasing a much more robust version of SecureCI. Not too many new features, but lots of bug fixes and some major upgrades of the application. This release focused on updating core components to latest release versions, correcting critical defects, and […]
Recently I was working with a customer to put together an initial product backlog for a development effort. The purpose of the effort was to build a minimum viable product (MVP) as a first version of their application to take to market. The backlog was based on a list of requirements that the customer had […]
As I’m certain everyone is aware, a new version of SecureCI™ has been released! Many more tools have been included, and while the basic setup is the same, there is a bit more configuration that you’ll need to setup. My previous post of how to startup a new instance of SecureCI™ is still accurate, however […]
