Finally, release my first open source.

 

Starting...

This lab is to release my product to install easily. Instead of cloning or downloading and setting it up manually, it provides a lot of convenience for users to install it. I chose NPM since I used nodejs. NPM is a great site to help develpers to release their git repository in the site. 



Progressing...

First, I signed up on npmjs.com and logged in the site on the console to release my repository. I had to set up a lot of things like 'npm init', modifying readme and package.json to be ready.  Second, I tried to release my repository by the command, 'npm publish --access public'. Unfortunately, the name, http-parser, was already taken, so I needed to change my name. I chose my name as http-checker and tried to release it again. At this time, I got 403, forbidden error. I spent a lot of time to figure out but it was actually due to not verified account. Once I got the verified email account, finally, I got the release version of my repository. Here is my new released site


After I got this one, I asked one of my class-mates for testing it. At the same time, I installed my program in the new folder. To run it easily, I added script as "start": "http-checker -f urls2.txt" and ran it as npm start.

Concluding...

From this course, I have experienced all processing of development from a scratch to a release of it. During the time, I also have experienced how to handle with conflict when I am in the group project based on git. I believe that now I am more confident and have to appreciate to David, my OSD professor. I love Open source to expand my knowledge and I will keep in touch.

Getting more difficult?

  Release 0.2.4 Now I am at almost the end of release 0.2 and I chose the telescope as the final contribution. To be honest, this is huge, well organized and great project and it is first time to take a look. Unlike my previous assignment during the previous terms, there are tons of what I have never seen. First, docker compose is great and the document for contribution is very clear. Of course, I had no idea when read it first, but every time as my professor mentioned, there was a great guy, helper?, helping me a lot to set up the project. Although I had no idea about Elastic-search and Redis-cache server, I was happy to take a time to look though the codes and to understand. Again, trying to understand an issue is always hard for me and sometimes I am really not happy when somebody does not understand my question. This happened again. The reason why I attached the picture is that I am still confused about the whole process of this project especially about why frontend didn't get ...

Working with telescope

   Starting... This lab is to help students to communicate with a big project, telescope, and understanding how to handle with the set it up. There were a lot of trouble since many of technologies are new for me such as docker, docker-compose, elastic search ladis, pino, and so on. Let's jump in the big project . Progressing... The first step I took is to install wsl 2. It is not very difficult since microsoft provides good instruction, link . Although the telescope provides very good instruction,   here , It was not really easy for me to get a concept and set it up successfully. Therefore, I needed to ask a lot of questions on slack, telescope channel. Some helped me a lot and explained so much and finally I got it work successfully.  After my server was working locally, I didn't have any issue to get the response from the url, http://localhost:3000/posts.  To communicate with the local server, actually I needed to change my code a lot since I wanted to sp...
