A Gradle Exec task will only run the last ‘commandLine’ defined inside its block. Putting multiple entries inside its block will not run multiple commands. As an example, if you run the following Gradle task. task willOnlyRunLast(type: Exec) { commandLine “echo”, “first” commandLine “echo”, “second” commandLine “echo”, “last” } The task above will only echo … Gradle: running more than one command in an Exec task
sed is an excellent utility for doing substitutions, but if you need to work across multiple files, then you need to pair it with a command that can provide a list of candidate files. This is where find comes in handy. For example, to replace all instances of ‘zebra’ with ‘horse’ recursively in the current … Linux: sed to replace across multiple files in directory
If the Terraform resource you are creating supports multiple dependent entities (e.g. a single VM with multiple disks or networks), but only by adding hardcoded duplicate text blocks, then you should consider Terraform dynamic blocks. For example, if you are creating a vsphere_virtual_machine with two additional data disks, then here is a snippet showing how … Terraform: using dynamic blocks to add multiple disks on a vsphere_virtual_machine
By default, K3s uses the Traefik ingress controller and Klipper service load balancer to expose services. But this can be replaced with a MetalLB load balancer and Istio ingress controller. K3s is perfectly capable of handling Istio operators, gateways, and virtual services if you want the advanced policy, security, and observability offered by Istio. In … Kubernetes: K3s with multiple Istio ingress gateways
Updated March 2023: using K3s 1.26 and MetalLB 0.13.9 By default, K3s uses the Traefik ingress controller and Klipper service load balancer to expose services. But this can be replaced with a MetalLB load balancer and NGINX ingress controller. But a single NGINX ingress controller is sometimes not sufficient. For example, the primary ingress may … Kubernetes: K3s with multiple metalLB endpoints and nginx ingress controllers
microk8s has convenient out-of-the-box support for MetalLB and an NGINX ingress controller. But microk8s is also perfectly capable of handling Istio operators, gateways, and virtual services if you want the advanced policy, security, and observability offered by Istio. In this article, we will install the Istio Operator, and allow it to create the Istio Ingress … Kubernetes: microk8s with multiple Istio ingress gateways
Out-of-the-box, microk8s has add-ons that make it easy to enable MetalLB as a network load balancer as well as an NGINX ingress controller. But a single ingress controller is often not sufficient. For example, the primary ingress may be serving up all public traffic to your customers. But a secondary ingress might be necessary to … Kubernetes: microk8s with multiple metalLB endpoints and nginx ingress controllers
Instead of stringing together sed multiple times in a pipeline, it is also possible to make multiple substitutions with a single invocation of sed. Consider the following example which replaces the word ‘hello’ as well as ‘quick’ in the paragraph: $ sed “s/hello/goodbye/g; s/quick/slow/g” <<EOF hello, world! hello, universe! the quick brown fox EOF goodbye, … Bash: performing multiple substitutions with a single sed invocation
If you have multiple values coming through the Bash input pipeline, it can be difficult to process these into a complex, formatted set of arguments unless you use intermediate temporary files. But one way to neatly put together a complex set of arguments from an input pipeline with multiple values is to use awk printf … Bash: using multiple values from an input pipeline to construct and execute a command
If you are looking for basic HTTP file uploading using Flask, you can use the code in my python-flask-upload-files project on github as an example. This project exercises multiple scenarios: Upload a single file in chunked mode (not forced to save entirety to disk) Upload a single file Upload multiple files Error message shown when … Python: Using Flask to upload files
Cloud Foundry deployed Java applications can send log events to stdout/stderr and then a bound syslog drain can send this to a logging solution like ELK for ingestion. One area that has always been tricky when dealing with logging is multi-line Java stack traces. By default, because each line in the stack trace has a … CloudFoundry: Extracting Java multiline exception stack traces from Logback and Log4j2 using Logstash
Zabbix low-level discovery (LLD) provides a way to create an array of related items, triggers, or graphs without needing to know the exact number of entities up front. The easiest way to populate the keys of a discovery item is to add a “UserParameter” in zabbix_agentd.conf, and then the Zabbix agent will invokes a script which returns the set … Zabbix: LLD low-level discovery returning multiple values
An issue that keeps coming up on the mailing lists as well as Stackoverflow[1,2] is how to merge multiple pillar files for use with a single state. The problem is that pillars using the same key overwrite each other, and there is no easy way to express the desire to merge instead. There are various workarounds, but all … SaltStack: Combine multiple pillar files under a single key
