And the day has finally came. Turned out my docker image for Continuous Integration to build Android native apps doesn’t work anymore. Honestly, it wasn’t even my fault. At first glance the OS was OK, Android SDK was also OK, but then fastlane installation was not happy about something. And that little something turned out to be a real PAIN … in my arm! Ruby ta-da-da-tam! But how was that?
Read more →Recently I described, how to keep in sync with GitLab latest releases on the Raspberry Pi. And of course it lead me to a problem after unsuccessful update to version 8.17-rc3. This release has the PostgreSQL 9.6.2 embedded and apparently everything got broken in the middle of the upgrade process. After all my tries to revert to previous GitLab version, lots of time wasted (yes, each call to apt-get upgrade or install specified GitLab version was taking several hours!
Read more →I recently noticed that my GitLab installed on Raspberry Pi (running Jessy) stopped updating and stick to version 8.7.9, however the latest one as of today is 8.16.4.
Normally apt-get updateand **apt-get upgrade**should do the trick. But it turned out there was a change in the build system and newer packages don’t get uploaded into ‘raspbian’ version of repository. For details - take a look on issue #1303. Although quick patch is following and short:

Read more →Setting up GitLab was pretty easy on a Raspberry PI 3. The installation process is straightforward, it only took very long time to unpack (prepare for several hours!). And once running, its a brilliant combination comparing to all those noisy servers (aka my old PCs) I should have kept running. For the most Pi uses SD card, giving an immediate access at any time of day and doesn’t need to awake and start to spin its disks.
