how well Kotlin works with Spring Boot?

There’s an #intellij channel? Ahh, in Kotlin Slack… 😳

Aleksander - perfect fit. We use Spring Boot and Kotlin at work, a lot, i.e., nearly 99% of our production code is now Kotlin and Spring Boot (with my bit of Clojure thrown into the mix).

It's intesting too, that the Spring Framework itself is treating Kotlin as a first-class citizen.

The Spring Framework provides first-class support for Kotlin and lets developers write Kotlin applications almost as if the Spring Framework was a native Kotlin framework.

is there a sense that Kotlin has become what groovy++ always wanted to be

and with a much more Google-friendly name

Not heard of http://forestry.io before, but this v cool =)… I use cryogen myself and was thinking of using it four our company blog, forestry as an approach sounds great, please let me know if you move forward on this =)…

The only thing I could find was this: https://github.com/harlanji/tinydatacenter/tree/master/cryogen-docker Not 100% certain it’s cryogen blog, but I think so?

Hi @U0JUM502E 🙂 I ended up building my own, and it works! Sadly though, http://Forestry.io does not / cannot support Clojure “Front Matter” so the Clojure Maps we use at the top of Cryogen Docs can’t be configured into http://Forestry.io as templates and their editor TOTALLY fucks up the Clojure map at the top of the page. As such I could get it all working but only use the raw editor with no content / non-tech friendly interface for non-programmers and hence my hopes to use it for work are dashed until I can find the time to fork Cryogen to use YAML Front Matter instead of Clojure Front Matter, and now I say that I see how mad it sounds…

😉

Oh dear…

Anyway, if you wanted to look at my Docker container - ’cos you could use it locally if you can solve the inode / Docker Volumes issue for your editing toolchain, it’s here: https://hub.docker.com/r/maleghast/cryogen-forestry

It’s linked on the page, but the Public Github repo that drives the Container is here: https://github.com/maleghast/cryogen-docker

It’s all hooked up on Docker Hub so that new versions of Cryogen can be built by sending a blank commit to Github

Then on your local machine you’d run it like this: docker run -v [path/to/your/cryogen/site/root]:/opt/gensite -w /opt/gensite -p 8080:8080 cryogen-docker:latest lein ring server-headless 8080

it’s set to run on 8080 in that example ’cos http://Forestry.io needs that to be the exposed port

you can leave 8080 of the end and replace the -p 8080:8080 with -p 3000:3000 if you want standard

Like I said above, if your operating system alters the inode of the file you are editing, i.e. by saving a new one and replacing, in the way Linux and macOS do by default (at least with everything I’ve tried, including nano, so don’t believe what you read on the internet per se) then your files won’t update inside the container, making this whole thing fairly useless unless you like stopping and starting Docker containers…

😞

I might be totally off the mark, but is this the issue? https://stackoverflow.com/a/55103896

It’s the other way around, but in both a cases you want to write to the underlying file?

Hold on I will read the article…

I’ve not used docker that much >_<…

I don’t think that this changes anything, the -v … option on the command line should create a mount that binds a host location into the container. The problem is that if you edit a file in that folder, in place, the inode of the file changes and Docker sees that as a security risk so it stays faithful to the old version of the file.

if you stop and start the container you get the new file

I remember, a few years back, a colleague at the BBC “solved” this, as in found a workaround, but I can’t remember how to do it.

Ah, that’s frustrating

It is, aye…. I’ll let you know if I figure it out…

😉

Is there some way to do this with github actions? Just wondering…

IE, commit a forestry thing, then run an action to convert it? It’s a little bit roundabout, but for a first pass implementation it’s not too awful…
