Resilient Container Builds in CI with Buildkit-Operator

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Sharing long-lived BuildKit instances across CI jobs cost us up to 4% of our container builds to unpredictable failures and noisy-neighbor contention. We replaced them with ephemeral, fully-isolated builders provisioned per job by a Kubernetes operator we’ve open-sourced, and build success now sits at 99.97%.

Optimizing GitLab CI Runners on Kubernetes: Caching, Autoscaling, and Beyond

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Moving our GitLab CI runners onto Kubernetes fixed the wasted capacity and queue bottlenecks, but the real wins came afterwards. Distributed caching in S3 and ECR, HPA-driven autoscaling, dedicated NVMe node pools, and reserved idle capacity took average job queue time from 16 seconds to 2 and cut cost per job by 40%.

Building Containers on Kubernetes with Buildkit

Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0500

Every CI job used to get its own EC2 instance and its own Docker daemon, which made docker build easy and everything around it painful — polluted state between builds, tightly-coupled infrastructure, and multi-arch builds only via slow emulation. Here’s how we evaluated Podman, Kaniko, and Buildkit, why Buildkit won, and what it took to make it behave under Kubernetes autoscaling.

Introducing Mailroom: An Open-Source Internal Notification Framework

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0500

Every platform team that wanted to notify engineers about something ended up writing the same Slack bot again — parse the webhook, find the right person, send the message, maintain the deployment forever. Mailroom is the framework we built to stop doing that, so teams write only the handler that turns an event into a useful notification and let it handle routing, preferences, and delivery.

DIY "On Air" light automation for Google Meet

Sat, 02 Jul 2022 21:57:31 -0400

Like any good project, this one started with a problem: how do I let my wife know I’m in a meeting so she doesn’t let the dog barge in? (I work remotely and my office is the only way to get to the backyard.)

The solution: build my own “On Air” light that turns on/off automatically when I’m in a meeting! Sure, there are commercially-available products that do exactly this, but where’s the fun in buying something when I have the skills and equipment to build my own? Just how hard could it be? (famous last words)

Auto-Updating Twitter Banners

Sat, 03 Jul 2021 09:17:44 -0400

If you follow me on Twitter you might have noticed a fancy new banner image:

This is powered by dynacover - a really nifty tool created by Erika Heidi that automagically generates and uploads dynamic Twitter banner images! I’m running a slightly modified instance with a custom template that updates every 10 minutes via cron. Currently, my banner is showing my recent Twitter followers as well as my GitHub sponsors, though I’m thinking of some other interesting things I can pull into it in the near future.

Follow me on Polywork

Fri, 02 Jul 2021 17:37:17 -0400

If you follow me on Twitter you’ve probably seen that I’ve recently joined Polywork - a new social network unlike any others.

Polywork has a unique concept - instead of focusing on just your personal or professional life, your profile focuses on highlighting you as a multi-faceted individual. There’s no commenting, no competing for likes, no recruiters, no politics - just you and your story:

PHP 8.1 is Getting Enumerations!

Wed, 17 Feb 2021 15:08:30 -0500

The PHP RFC for enumerations just passed a 44-7 vote to be accepted as a new feature in the upcoming PHP 8.1 release!

Enumerations, also known as “enums”, are a special data type that can only contain specific, predefined (or “enumerated”) values. They behave somewhat similar to constants, in that their names can be referenced in code, but they allow for stronger typing.

Introducing ModernGeekware.com - Tees, Mugs, and more for Developers and Geeks

Sun, 31 Jan 2021 14:38:46 -0500

As a developer, I LOVE my geeky t-shirts and mugs, but it's hard to find quality products with designs I like. I've therefore been hard at work these last few weekends putting together my new project: www.moderngeekware.com

I'm excited to share that ModernGeekware.com just launched this Sunday! There are currently 28 products in the store and I hope to add more in the coming days and weeks. Everything here was designed by me mostly because they're all things I'd want to buy and wear myself. (In fact, I'm my own first customer!) I figured perhaps others might like them too, thus this store was born.

New Release: league/commonmark 1.5.0

Sun, 21 Jun 2020 17:28:49 -0400

Version 1.5.0 of the league/commonmark Markdown library has just been released!

This will likely be the last minor release of 1.x as we focus efforts on developing 2.0. This post breaks down some of the new features and changes you should know about 1.5.0.

Zero-Configuration SSL CA root bundles in Doctrine DBAL with Symfony

Fri, 28 Feb 2020 11:00:14 -0500

Today I found myself deploying a Symfony project to an Azure environment that requires SSL connections to MySQL. I figured this out the hard way when I started getting these errors:

In AbstractMySQLDriver.php line 106:
                                                                                                                             
  An exception occurred in driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [9002] SSL connection is required. Please specify SSL options and retry.  
                                                                                                                             

In PDOConnection.php line 31:
                                                                                            
  SQLSTATE[HY000] [9002] SSL connection is required. Please specify SSL options and retry.  
                                                                                            

In PDOConnection.php line 27:
                                                                                            
  SQLSTATE[HY000] [9002] SSL connection is required. Please specify SSL options and retry.

Although StackOverflow had some potential solutions, they were all a bit messy. At a minimum, each solution required you to somehow know and provide the path to the system’s CA root bundle in your project - either by hard-coding it (bad idea - it can be different per OS) or by making it a configurable parameter (requires developers to know where that file lives).

league/commonmark 1.3.0 Adds Full GFM Support!

league/commonmark 1.0.0 has been released!

Sat, 29 Jun 2019 07:24:46 -0400

After 5 years of development, 3,000,000 downloads, and 58 releases, I’m extremely pleased to announce that league/commonmark version 1.0.0 has been released!

What is `league/commonmark`?

league/commonmark is a highly-extensible PHP Markdown parser which is fully compliant with the CommonMark spec. It avoids some of the issues and funky edge cases that other Markdown parsers have while also allowing you to implement your own custom Markdown syntax to best suit your needs.

CVE-2018-20583 - XSS Vulnerability in league/commonmark

Sun, 30 Dec 2018 06:28:03 -0500

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in the PHP League’s CommonMark library (league/commonmark) versions 0.15.6 through 0.18.x before 0.18.1. It allows remote attackers to insert unsafe URLs into <a> tags (even if allow_unsafe_links is false) by adding an encoded newline character in the middle (e.g., writing javascript as javascri%0Apt).

Version 0.18.1 has been released to fix this issue. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this version.

How To Install PHP 7.3

Sat, 08 Dec 2018 08:07:22 -0500

September Project Updates

Thu, 20 Sep 2018 11:31:40 -0400

This month I released updates for a few of my open-source projects including league/commonmark, league/html-to-markdown, and colinodell/json5.

Avoid Unsupported Symfony Component Versions With This Composer Metapackage

Mon, 10 Sep 2018 12:30:37 -0400

Prevent Composer from updating your Symfony components to unsupported versions with the colinodell/symfony-lts-or-current metapackage.

Automatically Switch PHP Version on cd

Wed, 08 Aug 2018 13:55:18 -0400

After using phpbrew to manage my local PHP versions for a while, I got tired of re-compiling PHP after every release and decided to install multiple PHP versions side-by-side with Ondřej Surý’s PPA. One of the features I missed from phpbrew was the ability to run a command like phpbrew use php-7.2.8 to automatically change the php command to that version, so I ended up implementing this feature myself using symlinks and shell aliases.

Four Useful Git Aliases

Mon, 19 Mar 2018 10:46:00 -0400

As you may know, Git is not a single application, but rather a toolkit containing many small programs and scripts that can manipulate the repository. This makes it trivial to chain those components into more-powerful, custom commands which can be defined as git aliases.

Here are some of the more-useful aliases I use on a daily basis:

Fix PhpStorm Not Focusing When Breakpoints Hit (Ubuntu 17.10 / Gnome Shell 3)

Fri, 26 Jan 2018 09:14:33 -0500

I recently upgraded my system from Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity to Ubuntu 17.10 with Gnome Shell 3. One of the “features” I found annoying was that my IDE PhpStorm was not popping to the front and receiving focus whenever breakpoints were hit. I eventually figured out a solution and wanted to document it in case others were also searching for a solution.

Optimizing colinodell/json5 with Blackfire

Sun, 14 Jan 2018 09:43:55 -0500

Back in November I released colinodell/json5 - a JSON5 parser for PHP. It’s essentially a drop-in replacement for PHP’s json_decode() function, but it allows things like comments, trailing commas, and more.

Fast forward to this weekend when I received the following bug report from a user named Antonio:

Yikes! I always knew that a PHP-based implementation would be slower than PHP’s native C implementation, but execution time measured in minutes was completely unacceptable!

league/commonmark 0.17

Sat, 30 Dec 2017 17:42:47 -0500

league/commonmark is wrapping up 2017 with the release of version 0.17!

Installing PHP 7.2

Thu, 30 Nov 2017 08:38:58 -0500

PHP 7.2 has been released, bringing some great new features and security enhancements to the language such as object type hints, saner count() behavior, and much more.

Here's a brief guide on how to install PHP 7.2 on several different operating systems:

Magento Security Patch SUPEE-10415 Now Available

Tue, 28 Nov 2017 13:00:06 -0500

Magento has just released the SUPEE-10415 security patch for the following versions:

Magento Commerce 1.9.0.0-1.14.3.7 (formerly known as Enterprise Edition)
Magento Open Source 1.5.0.0-1.9.3.7 (formerly known as Community Edition)

You can learn more about the patch and download it here: https://magento.com/security/patches/supee-10415

Introducing colinodell/json5: a UTF-8 compatible JSON5 parser for PHP

Mon, 13 Nov 2017 07:33:35 -0500

This weekend I released an open-source JSON5 parser for PHP!

JSON5 is a JS-compatible extension to JSON which allows comments, trailing commas, single-quoted strings, and more:

{
    foo: 'bar',
    while: true,

    this: 'is a \
multi-line string',

    // this is an inline comment
    here: 'is another', // inline comment

    /* this is a block comment
       that continues on another line */

    hex: 0xDEADbeef,
    half: .5,
    delta: +10,
    to: Infinity,   // and beyond!

    finally: 'a trailing comma',
    oh: [
        "we shouldn't forget",
        'arrays can have',
        'trailing commas too',
    ],
}

This PHP implementation:

Auto-casting numeric strings to int/float

Fri, 10 Nov 2017 10:05:00 -0500

I recently came across this really helpful PHP trick:

You can cast a numeric string to either int or float, depending on its contents, by simply adding 0:

var_dump("1" + 0);
// int(1)

var_dump("1." + 0);
// float(1)

var_dump("1.0" + 0);
// float(1)

var_dump("1.5" + 0);
// float(1.5)

That’s much cleaner than trying to make a conditional cast yourself:

Home Assistant with Updated Z-Wave Device Files

Thu, 12 Oct 2017 15:43:02 -0400

Several months ago I blogged about compiling open-zwave for Home Assistant 0.45 on Docker. There were two reasons I did this:

I had a Linear Z-Wave Garage Door opener - this feature was only available in the development branch of openzwave.
I wanted up-to-date device configurations for newer Z-Wave devices.

Unfortunately, the development branch was less stable than I liked and the opener never worked quite right. So #1 was no longer a reason to compile the library myself.

Extracting PEM and Private Key from PFX SSL Certificate

Fri, 15 Sep 2017 10:19:33 -0400

PKCS#12 archives (commonly known as .pfx files) usually contain both a certificate and its private key, sometimes with password protection. In order to use these with a server like nginx or Apache, we need to extract these objects and convert them using openssl.

(The commands below assume your file is named certificate.pfx.)

Extracting the private key

openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.pfx -out private.key -nocerts -nodes

Extracting the PEM certificate

openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.pfx -out cert.pem -clcerts -nokeys

Extracting intermediate certificates

openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.pfx -out ca.pem -clcerts -nokeys

Alternatively, you could use a tool like https://whatsmychaincert.com to generate this based on your public certificate.

Generating IDE Stubs for IonCube-Encoded Classes

Fri, 25 Aug 2017 12:43:48 -0400

I recently inherited a legacy PHP project built on a closed-source framework where all the core classes were encrypted with IonCube. Not knowing what classes and methods exist makes it extremely difficult to use that functionality. In order to make life easier, I set out to create a stubs.php file listing all of those “hidden” classes and methods.

The Journey to 1,000,000 Downloads

Sat, 05 Aug 2017 20:23:52 -0400

This morning I came into work to find my Packagist download counter had rolled over: league/commonmark now has over 1,000,000 downloads!

To celebrate this milestone I thought I’d share the story of how this package came about, how it’s grown, and how I couldn’t have reached this milestone without the PHP community’s help.

Getting Started

I was browsing Reddit on September 3rd, 2014 when I stumbled upon a blog post announcing Standard Markdown (later renamed to CommonMark). This ambitious project aimed to standardize the syntax used by most Markdown parsers while also defining how edge cases should be handled.

Testing PHP 7.2 With Docker

Thu, 06 Jul 2017 11:46:24 -0400

PHP 7.2 is slated for release in November 2017, but you don’t have to wait until then to start testing your applications! We can easily use Docker to test against the latest pre-release versions of 7.2.

PHP 7.2 Pre-Release Images

PHP now has official pre-release Docker builds available. You should use those instead.

I’ve created a PHP 7.2 pre-release image on Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/colinodell/php-7.2/.

RIGHT JOINs in Doctrine 2

Wed, 07 Jun 2017 22:08:11 -0400

I recently needed the ability to perform a RIGHT JOIN in a Symfony project. While Doctrine’s DBAL library seems to support this, the ORM’s QueryBuilder does not. Unfortunately, the suggested workaround of inverting the query wouldn’t work in my situation. I also didn’t feel like rewriting the query into DQL, so I ultimately hacked in my own support by duplicating the LEFT JOIN functionality. I figured I’d share my patch in case it helps others facing a similar issue.

Small Contributions Matter

Mon, 05 Jun 2017 21:22:39 -0400

Open-source development is more than big new features and major releases. Small contributions are just as important to the success of open-source projects! Any improvement, no matter how small, can help both the project and other developers.

Technical Debt Is Like Tetris

Mon, 05 Jun 2017 19:30:51 -0400

I was playing Tetris over the weekend when I realized it’s a great metaphor for managing technical debt.

Compiling open-zwave for Home Assistant 0.45 on Docker

Sun, 21 May 2017 22:31:11 -0400

Home Assistant uses the open-zwave library to control Z-Wave home automation devices like light switches and door sensors. Unfortunately, this library’s last release (1.5) was back in August 2016 and doesn’t include configurations for many Z-Wave devices I use (like the Linear NGDZ00-4 Garage Door). I therefore needed to create a custom open-zwave fork, cherry-pick recent commits for the functionality I need, and have my fork compiled into a custom Home Assistant Docker image.

Optimizing Docker-Based CI Runners With Shared Package Caches

Thu, 27 Apr 2017 20:46:50 -0400

Using a shared cache volume across all of our Docker-based GitLab CI jobs has allowed us to drastically improve our build speeds.

PHPUnicorn

Wed, 15 Mar 2017 18:18:49 -0400

For Pi Day 2017 I created a really fun project - the PHPUnicorn!

A simple PHPUnit listener collects test results and sends them to a Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless device in real-time. As the device receives the stats it lights up LEDs green, red, or orange to visualize the progress and results of your unit tests.

Limiting Subqueries in Doctrine 2 DQL

Sun, 12 Mar 2017 09:48:45 -0400

TIL that Doctrine 2 doesn’t support LIMITs within subqueries which can be frustrating. In my case, I wanted to LEFT JOIN on a table using a subquery with a single result - something like this:

$dqb->from('MyAppBundle:Foo', 'foo')
    ->leftJoin('foo.bar', 'bar', 'WITH', 'bar = (SELECT b FROM MyAppBundle:Bar b WHERE b.foo = foo AND b.published_date >= :now ORDER BY t.startDate LIMIT 1)');

But Doctrine kept throwing this error:

Installing PHP 7.1

Fri, 02 Dec 2016 09:15:20 -0500

PHP 7.1 has been released, bringing some great new features and enhancements to the language such as nullable types, the iterable pseudo-type, catching multiple exceptions, and much more.

Here's a brief guide on how to install PHP 7.1 on several different operating systems:

Ubuntu 14.04 - 16.10:

PHP 7.1 can be installed using Ondřej Surý's PPA:

Installing PHP 7.0

Fri, 04 Dec 2015 07:05:00 -0500

Installing PHP 7.0 is easier than ever. Here are instructions for installing the latest version on different platforms:

PHP 5.x Conflicts

You may encounter conflicts if you already have PHP 5.x installed. If so, make sure to completely remove PHP 5.x from your system before installing 7.0. On Ubuntu, this is as simple as running: sudo apt-get purge php5-*.

Five Lesser-Known Features of PHP 7

Wed, 02 Dec 2015 20:30:07 -0500

With the imminent release of PHP 7 on the horizon, I thought it would be cool to check out some of the lesser-known features coming with the 7.0.0 release:

1. Array constants in `define()`

PHP 5.6 added the ability to define array constants on classes by using the const keyword:

const LUCKY_NUMBERS = [4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42];

PHP 7 brings this same functionality to the define() function:

Optimizing league/commonmark with Blackfire.io

Sat, 28 Nov 2015 13:21:39 -0500

This post demonstrates how Blackfire was used to identify slowness in the league/commonmark parser. These findings were then used to implement two simple optimizations resulting in a 53% performance boost!

Linux Tip: Recursive FTP Backup

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:32:45 -0400

Creating manual backups of a website can be a time-consuming task. Using Linux, you can automate the entire download/transfer using the handy utility known as wget (Ubuntu users: install it with sudo apt-get install wget)

Here’s the command to use for downloading your backup:

wget ftp://yourwebsite.com/some/directory -nv -r -N -l inf -nH --ftp-user='username' --ftp-password='password'

I’ve included all the options needed to fetch everything in the specified folder and maintain that same folder structure in the downloaded backup. Make sure to substitute your own FTP host, directory, username and password above! You can extend this further by using cronjobs to run this command on a set schedule, compressing the files into a single archive file, and more!
