Introduction Recently, I have started to build apps using the web stack: frontend htmx tailwindcss daisyui alpine backend go templ postgres devex gitlab ci nix devshells I have now built two apps using this stack, one of them being banterbus.games a browser-based party game (currently broken). Using web sockets, so it isn’t the most normal web application. As there are a few quirks of web sockets. Banter Bus Code: https://gitlab.com/hmajid2301/banterbus I am currently building a more normal CRUD app, called Voxicle (https://voxicle.app), a SaaS platform for collecting and acting on user feedback. The first time, I am trying to build something which I will charge others for (hence the code also not being open-source yet). Some more context here: https://haseebmajid.dev/posts/2025-03-03-go-feedback-my-new-side-project/ ...

Kubernetes Knowledge I don’t know a ton about Kubernetes. I am still learning, hence this home-lab project. So there may be better ways to do stuff that I have described below. If that is the case, please let me know! Just take what I say with a pinch of salt. It’s been a while since I made an update about my home lab, also an aside, I should’ve given this series a better name. So recently, I finally went back to my PI cluster and started to actually setup properly. The first thing I decided to put on it was the Kubernetes dashboard. I could get a nice GUI look into what is happening with my cluster at a glance. It also looked simple to deploy. ...

This is part of a series of where I am going to blog about issues I had building my CLI tool OptiNix and documenting how I resolved those issues. Most will be random things not specifically related to building CLI tools. In this example, we will use the viper library. Mainly because I am already using cobra, the library to help us make CLI tools. From the same author and wanted to see how well they integrated. The Viper config library is probably over kill in my case. ...

As you may know, I have been using Nix/NixOS for the last few months. I finally started doing some development, after spending lots and lots and lots of time tweaking my setup (and neovim). As part of starting to do some real development work, I am now trying to leverage devshells with Nix flakes. I like the concept of Nix devshells, I have tried using Docker dev containers in the past, but the issue I had with those was adding my tools such as shell (fish) or cli tools was not easy. Whereas Nix shells just add tools and scripts to our existing shell. ...

TIL: How to Disable Linters in Golangci Lint for Test Files Today (for once), I ran golangci-lint run and it failed on CI with the following error: internal/options/parser_test.go:13: Function 'TestParse' is too long (69 > 60) (funlen) func TestParse(t *testing.T) { task: Failed to run task "lint": exit status 1 Where my .golangci.yml file looked like this: run: timeout: 5m skip-dirs: - direnv linters: enable: - bodyclose - dogsled - dupl - errcheck - exportloopref - funlen - gochecknoinits - goconst - gocritic - gocyclo - gofmt - goimports - gomnd - goprintffuncname - gosec - gosimple - govet - ineffassign - lll - misspell - nakedret - noctx - nolintlint - revive - staticcheck - stylecheck - typecheck - unconvert - unparam - unused - whitespace So basically we want the ability to turn off funlen for our tests (and other linters). Because we don’t mind if some of our test functions get a big long with different sub-tests. ...
