These are notes based on my experience getting the Qt C# Bridge (0.3 Beta) to run on Rider on Fedora 44 (to the point you can run the default project). It's possible not all steps / packages are necessary - these are just the steps I did.

I opted for creating the /qt6bridge_prefix directory here to ensure I didn't break anything else whilst putting files where the build expects to find them.

sudo dnf install dotnet-sdk-10.0 qt6-qtdeclarative-devel qt6-qttools-devel qt-creator ninja
dotnet new install QtGroup.Qt.Bridge.CSharp.Templates
sudo mkdir -p /qt6bridge_prefix/{bin,lib}
cd /qt6bridge_prefix/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/cmake cmake

• Set up a "read-only" user in addition to your administrative user and use that by default unless you actually need to make changes on production servers.

• Disable autocommit, or use explicit transactions so you can rollback mistakes. (Beware of implicit commits)

• To avoid UPDATE without WHERE you can enable sql_safe_updates. Some clients have similar options.

• Get into the habit of running a SELECT query before running an UPDATE to check which (and how many) records you've selected.

• Use color schemes to differentiate between hosts. Many terminal clients and SQL clients have the ability to set / change the color scheme.

Jenkins & PHP

This is a guide to setting up Jenkins for PHP projects. The Jenkins plugins required are linked in each section below.

Be sure to check the pipeline step reference link on the plugin pages linked below for full documentation and options for Jenkinsfile.

This guide uses Jenkinsfile based pipelines and assumes you already have a basic Jenkinsfile.

This guide assumes that you already have each of the tools mentioned configured for use outside of Jenkins. Only the necessary configuration options for working with Jenkins are mentioned.
