Send new created Jira ticket info to MS-Teams Channels

Summary We are using (self hosted) Jira (the Atlassian Issue Tracker / Scrum / Kanban Board) at the office. And we wanted to receive a chat notification for each newly created ticket, to be received in Microsoft Teams Channels. Teams is a collaboration messenger tool like Slack or RocketChat. Jira can send new ticket/story creations using a web-hook to external tools. The web-hook sends a Jira specific JSON payload, no configuration options possible.

3D Printed Lamp Covers

3D Printed Lamp Covers

My last electronics project was creating a LED dimmer for some dinner table lights. This all works fine, but the bare light bulbs were a bit bright to look at directly. The MVP (Minimal Viable Product) version to fix this problem consisted of some ugly paper strips, taped to the bulbs 😉 Even though this MVP version did help, it doesn’t look too good, so a long-term-solution was needed. The lamp fittings are metal, and have some ribs which make…

K8S Tiller/Helm History Cleanup

GitHub Project: https://github.com/atkaper/k8s-tiller-history-cleanup Introduction WARNING: This is about helm 2, in the old days… (2019) Please move to helm 3+, and do not use this old cleanup anymore 😉 Article just kept for historic purposes. In our on premise Kubernetes cluster, we use Helm for a big part of our application / micro-services deployments. Helm uses an engine called Tiller (which is a deployment in the cluster).

Duplicate unprotected Mifare Classic NFC Card

Duplicate unprotected Mifare Classic NFC Card

Where I live, they have changed the way they pickup garbage. Only plastic, paper, and green-stuff will be picked up (in separate bins). And the ordinary (formerly grey) trash you need to bring to one of the central bins in the neighborhood (and glass you have to bring to the bins at the shopping mall). So, those central “grey” bins… to prevent just anyone from dropping stuff in there, you need to use an RFID badge to open it up….
