Upstream just released the first beta. Now is the time to start the new mirror. For the record, those mirrors are read-only, and aimed at production (aka “I want an easy way to update Django on servers “), not development (aka “i wanna commit”). While I was there, I also removed the mirrors for long-obsolete […]

The mirror is up and running since the first beta or so, but I forgot to mention it on the blog. Now that 5.0 is officially released, it seems a perfect timing to fix that. For the record, those mirrors are read-only, and aimed at production (aka “I want an easy way to update Django […]

I want to use a Keycloak instance (SSO provider) for authenticating users on a nextcloud application. Since version 19, nextcloud has an “official” plugin for connecting to an openid server (one of different SSO protocols). The plugin is called “OpenID Connect user backend” (official plugin, github). The only kind of documentation they provide is this […]

I have to troubleshoot a buggy relationship between a mail client (thunderbird) and an IMAP server (dovecot), regarding notification. That’s when the server informs the client about new mails, as opposed to the client polling the server to get this information. There’s this stackoverflow thread with some very useful exemple code.

As usual when Django releases a new Alpha version, I’ve settled a new mirror. The URL (both web and clone) is https://freehackers.org/mirrors/django-3.2-production As stated before, I no longer use bitbucket as they’ve dropped support for mercurial. Shame on them ! 🙂

As you are probably aware, bitbucket is dead. At least the original bitbucket as we knew it, the leader in mercurial hosting. They no longer host mercurial repositories, so I had to move my kernel and Django mirrors. They are now hosted on my own heptapod instance, at the following URL: https://www.freehackers.org/mirrors I did the […]
