Automate Checking Markdown Links With GitHub Actions

October 5, 2020October 5, 2020 Geoff Hudik

I’ve been working in a GitHub documentation repo recently with many different markdown files and I kept noticing broken links. Usually they were my own fault, links within the repo I didn’t catch after moving, renaming, or otherwise reorganizing the content. Sometimes though they were external links that were valid at the time months ago…

GitHub Packages: Private NuGet Packages via GitHub Actions

October 4, 2020 Geoff Hudik

Recently after evaluating GitHub Container Registry I also wanted to try using NuGet feed functionality within GitHub Packages to potentially consolidate feeds across sources like Azure DevOps and Proget. I decided to use GitHub Actions to build, test, pack, and push these as private NuGet packages within a GitHub organization. Project Configuration Before pushing to…

Trying GitHub Container Registry Using GitHub Actions

September 29, 2020 Geoff Hudik

Recently I decided to try GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) out as a possible alternative to Docker Hub and Azure Container Registry (ACR) for certain apps. While I knew it wouldn’t expose all the features of a registry like ACR, many times that’s not needed and it was compelling to have source, build (via Actions), and…

Downloading a Single File From a Private GitHub Repository

July 20, 2020 Geoff Hudik

Sometimes it’s handy to use curl or wget to download a single file from a GitHub repository. Maybe it’s needed on a server where Git is not installed or it’s not desirable to clone or pull a repo for one file. Or perhaps cloning / pulling the repo locally and copying to the server isn’t…

Deploying .NET Apps to Raspberry Pi with GitHub Actions and Docker

April 27, 2020 Geoff Hudik

The last post in this series explored different ways of deploying .Net apps to a Raspberry Pi and touched on some of the pros and cons of using Docker for this. This post covers using GitHub actions to build a Raspberry Pi image and deploy to Docker Hub when commits are pushed to the repository.…

Deploying, Running, Debugging .NET Code on Raspberry Pi

April 27, 2020 Geoff Hudik

Overview While I settled on Docker as the means to deploy and run my .NET code on a Pi for this project, it’s worth looking at other options. This post explores a few common options, each of which has its own pros and cons and may be useful at different times. It also touches on…

Automating Raspberry Pi Setup

April 27, 2020May 24, 2020 Geoff Hudik

After creating the SD card for this project, I next wanted to automate the initial Pi setup on the first login – further configuring system settings and installing applications. While it might have been possible to do some of that with pi-gen or Yocto layers, I just wanted a simple script to execute initially. In…

Scripting Raspberry Pi Image Builds

April 27, 2020May 24, 2020 Geoff Hudik

One of the first steps towards Raspberry Pi fun is installing a Raspberry Pi operating system image on an SD card and this project was no different. Initially it’s common to use a GUI tool like the recently announced Raspberry Pi Imager or Balena Etcher. You might think this is more a one-time setup step…

Raspberry Pi Cat Motion Siren

April 27, 2020May 23, 2020 Geoff Hudik

I’ve been wanting to dive deeper into Raspberry Pi development for a while but needed to make the time and find a project. Image classification using machine learning has been an interest so something using the motion sensor and camera sounded ideal. As it turns out, my significant other’s cat provided an opportunity to put…
