Deploying to Fly.io with SQLite

Deploying a Phoenix app to Fly.io is a breeze...is what everyone kept telling me. In fairness, I imagine the process would have been breezier had I just used postgres, but all the sqlite and litestream talk has been far too intriguing to ignore. "Wait", you say. "It is just a flat file. How much harder can it be?"

It is easy to make something harder than it should be. It is hard to take something complex and make it truly simple. flyctl launch does an amazing job at providing a simple interface to the utterly complex task of generating deployment resources, especially now that we are living in a containerd (erm, firecracker) world.

This gist is for anyone who, like me, thinks they know better than to read all of the documentation and therefore necessari

Uploading Files from Google Compute Engine (GCE) VMs to Google Cloud Storage (GCS)

I had a bit of trouble trying to configure permissions to upload files from my Google Compute Engine instance to my Google Cloud Storage bucket. The process isn't as intuitive as you think. There are a few permissions issues that need to be configured before this can happen. Here are the steps I took to get things working.

Let's say you want to upload yourfile.txt to a GCS bucket from your virtual machine. You can use the gsutil command line tool that comes installed on all GCE instances.

If you've never used the gcloud or gsutil command line tools on this machine before, you will need to initialize them with a service account.

Why would you want to do this? Because you often don't need more. It's nice to not have to think about your "router" as this big special thing.

Instead, with this approch, your app's current pathname is just another piece of state, just like anything else.

This also means that when doing server-side rendering of a redux app, you can just do:

var app = require('your/redux/app')
var React = require('react')

	javascript: Promise.all([import('https://unpkg.com/[email protected]?module'), import('https://unpkg.com/@tehshrike/[email protected]'), ]).then(async ([{
	default: Turndown
	}, {
	default: Readability
	}]) => {

	/* Optional vault name */
	const vault = "";

	/* Optional folder name such as "Clippings/" */

	#!/bin/bash

	set -e

	CONTENTS=$(tesseract -c language_model_penalty_non_dict_word=0.8 --tessdata-dir /usr/local/share/tessdata/ "$1" stdout -l eng \| xml esc)
