How to test data ingestion to Influxdb I am currently developing a python package, which will enable me to monitor my internet connections uptime. Or at least that is the end result - the project is called iconnmon The desired end result is to add ping result data in Influxdb, from pinging selected ip’s like my router, and the hop after my router on the ISP side. This way I will be able to make nice graphs of how my internet connection is faring.

This article is a little reminder to myself on how to launch needed docker containers before a debug session is started in VS Code. At the same time, I had a hard time finding any sort of documentation on how to do it. So I thought I would put some short notes out there about it. I had a Flask app relying on a redis container, in order to support sessions across several instances.

It doesn’t have to be hard As part of my project to leave Github - as I wrote about in part 1 - I wanted to try out moving the CI part of building the skov.run site. A site built with HUGO and running in a container on my Kubernetes cluster. But you can make it hard :-) So I have moved a number of repositories, most of them with Helm Charts, and one with a Python application.
