The guide walks you through installing PgHero on a brand‑new Ubuntu 20.04 box in under ten minutes, starting with the usual system update and essential packages like curl, gnupg2, build‑essential, libpq‑dev and git. It then shows how to bring up PostgreSQL, create a dedicated database user for monitoring, install Ruby through rbenv so you’re on a stable 3.1.2 release, pull the PgHero source from GitHub, and bundle its runtime dependencies. After that you set the connection string in an .env file, launch the app locally on a chosen port, and receive tips to avoid common snags such as missing libpq‑dev, wrong Ruby version, or permission errors. Finally the post offers an optional systemd unit so PgHero can run as a background service that starts automatically at boot.

The guide explains how to pull a virtual machine out of an ESXi host, move the disk image into Proxmox VE, and tweak settings so it boots reliably. It starts with a quick checklist that covers OS support, backups, storage space, and network configuration before exporting the VMDK flat file and gathering the VM’s XML or vsrx file. After uploading the flat VMDK to the Proxmox node, users create a new VM ID, link the existing disk, adjust boot order and BIOS type, then reassign MAC addresses, install QEMU‑guest agents, and verify the bootloader works for Windows or Linux guests. Finally, the article lists common pitfalls such as driver conflicts from VMware Tools, differences between VMDK and QCOW2 formats, and thin‑provisioned disk quirks, concluding that once the machine boots you can enjoy Proxmox’s free open‑source stack.

The post introduces Trivy as a fast, lightweight tool that can scan Docker container images for security vulnerabilities without requiring a running Docker daemon. It explains why early detection matters by sharing a real‑world example where an unpatched glibc bug in an updated Alpine image caused production failures, and it shows how Trivy turns those hidden issues into red‑flag alerts that can be fixed before they break your pipeline. The guide walks readers through installing the binary on macOS via Homebrew and on Debian/Ubuntu with apt, then demonstrates local scanning commands, including how to exit early when vulnerabilities are found, filter by high or critical severity, and run a scan immediately after building an image using Docker’s build command. Finally it offers a GitHub Actions workflow example, a quick cheat sheet table of common flags, practical tips for keeping Trivy’s cache fresh and handling private registries, and concludes that incorporating Trivy into your CI saves time by uncovering hidden packages before they surface as costly bugs.
