@Obsolesce said in Managing Public Github project with private files:
I've been getting around this by passing everything as parameters to the scripts, where the parameters are defined by variables as part of the pipeline and not from anything in Git.
Exactly.
My local config file is the dummy one because I just run unit tests with mocks locally. The pipeline has real values in private variables and creates the config file and runs the code for integration tests and production.
@Pete-S said in Custom web apps for SMB:
Also how big of an SMB are we talking about? A company with 10 employees is very different from one with 100 employees.
The cost of something custom is the same but a larger company can make more use of it and as such it creates more value for them, hence they are more inclined to invest in it.
I've developed a custom application when working for a 100+ employee company, so that's kind of where my mind heads.

In my plan, they would own the code (unless there is something we agree on a discounting for making it open source), and I would be using a popular web framework, so they would still have control.
That does them little good. Better than not, but without you it is still useless. And the cost to maintain your code is generally more expensive than recreating.
I'd say that's not necessarily the case if the deliverable is a full pipeline with some documentation, following framework conventions. That's assuming the framework used is still relevant by the time someone talked it over.
I have been tasked with reviving a 10 year old project that didn't even have the proper dependencies anymore and no documentation, that's a might as well recreate situation.
Developing an integration could definitely cause that issue though.
I was thinking about getting into creating custom web apps on the side for SMB, but I'm wondering what you guys think about the market. If I was running an SMB, I would think this is critical in order to keep a competitive edge. But my experience, SMBs drift towards cookie cutter solutions that are trying to be sold to all of their competitors too.
One thing that I think is pretty important is integration with their current LoB applications, which would increase the cost and is probably a reason why they drift towards non-custom solutions.
In my plan, they would own the code (unless there is something we agree on a discounting for making it open source), and I would be using a popular web framework, so they would still have control.
I know I'm far from one of the top contributors to ML, but if there's something you feel comfortable with endorsing me on, please send me a message and I'll send you my LinkedIn url.

That doesn't look like the proper way to get the Powershell version via Powershell to me
Teams (as a layer on top of Sharepoint) is also replacing shares in some environments, but that definitely does not meet the 'no cloud' requirement.
@wwalker817 Just saw your post on my other thread, I will be in touch
@wwalker817 Do you ever get any opportunities that are open to Canadian candidates?
Might be able to do it with Salt + Foreman. Or you do Salt + an Elastic logging stack

Ansible can do that. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win_domain_group_membership_module.html#win-domain-group-membership-module
You can add new PCs to domain, and change their group membership, you just need to know computer names in advance.Which is just a layer on top of Powershell. The Active Directory Powershell module is still required.
It's not required, or that module is included already in Windows 10 by default. Because I haven't had to install it on any machine I managed with Ansible.
"win_domain_group_membership requires the ActiveDirectory PS module to be installed"
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/modules/windows/win_domain_group_membership.ps1
They have it in the documentation as well "This must be run on a host that has the ActiveDirectory powershell module installed."

My biggest annoyance so far is that LinkedIn itself shows me jobs for stuff like Walmart Associate
Do you have the word "associate" in your resume?
Lol, well I do, I guess I should have gone for the full MCSE after all. But it seems to me that there are so few LinkedIn job postings in a 200km radius of my location that they just list everything.

@larsen161 said in Starting a job search:
LinkedIn has been hugely successful for me. I've had recruiters from Google, Facebook, Amazon, F5 and may others reach out to me directly for roles. Turn on your setting Let recruiters know you’re open to opportunities and hopefully that should trigger a bunch of opportunities.
I did that, set as casually looking. Does setting as actively looking make a difference?
@scottalanmiller said in Not Using Huawei:
If they are actually doing this, likely it is one rogue engineer doing it because no one authorized him to buy what he wanted and no one is aware of it.
I didn't get the impression that they were approached by just one engineer, but it's not like I got all the details.

Huawei just sounds like a sketchy company. I've heard that they pirate GitLab Enterprise edition
So now we're judging a company based on how it's name sounds? IBM could be extremely "weird" sounding to the French - so what - they shouldn't buy anything from IBM because the name sounds weird/sketcky?
Ummm, that is not wht he said.
OK I ran with it a bit - but he did say "Huawei just sounds like a sketchy company." but didn't expand on what exactly he meant - be it the actual sound of their name, or things the company has been accused of.
If he was going for the accusing aspect - Scott has shot almost everything there down as FUD.
What I'm saying is that a company that pirates software and then tried to get official support for that software by promising/negotiating to pay for it sounds like a sketchy company.
Worth noting that the top Google result on this subject, is this thread already.
Now granted, you've been talking to GitLab people that normal people and news media would not get access to, but it's super unknown insider info (at this point, until this thread.)
I doubt it will ever become news, they were advised by another company that has dealt with Huawei before that either they should pursue things legally or just drop it, basically that the negotiation is just a ruse and they are unlikely to end up paying.
Since they're technically still a start up, I expect they would just drop it.

Your best bet is to get 3 or 4 recruiters to look for you. Remember, you dont have to accept or agree to anything. Let them help you with your search. You may find them sending you unwanted stuff, but thats OK because they are somewhat of a filter
Hmm, I haven't had much luck with recruiters biting
