Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

ibmi-ci

ibmi-ci is a command line tool to make it easier to work with IBM i from pipelines, like GitHub Actions, GitLab CICD, etc.

Installation

Install via npm:

npm i @ibm/ibmi-ci
      - run: npm i -g @ibm/ibmi-ci
      - name: Deploy to IBM i
        run: | 
          ici \
            --cmd "mkdir -p './builds/ics_${GITHUB_HEAD_REF}'" \
            --rcwd "./builds/ics_${GITHUB_HEAD_REF}" \
            --push "." \
            --cmd "/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/gmake BIN_LIB=CMPSYS"
        env:
          IBMI_HOST: ${{ secrets.IBMI_HOST }}
          IBMI_USER: ${{ secrets.IBMI_USER }}
          IBMI_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.IBMI_PASSWORD }}
          IBMI_SSH_PORT: ${{ secrets.IBMI_SSH_PORT }}

How to use

After installation, run ici to see the help text and available parameters.

ibmi-ci is made up of steps and steps are built up from parameters, with the default step of connecting to the remote system, which always takes a place.

The steps ici will take is based on the parameters used on the CLI. For example:

ici \
  --rcwd "./builds/myproject" \
  --push "." \
  --cmd "/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/gmake BIN_LIB=MYLIB"

This command will run 3 steps:

  1. Set the remote working directory to ./builds/myproject
  2. Upload the local working directory to the remote working directory (.)
  3. Run a shell command

Default steps

By default, ibmi-ci will always:

  1. Connect to the remote IBM i via SSH. Connection configuration is based on environment variables. Use ici to see more info.
  2. Set the environment variables on the remote IBM i to those of the host runner (with some exceptions like SHELL, HOME, etc)

Ignoring errors

You can use a special ignore flag to suppress errors on certain steps: --ignore. This means if the following step errors, execution will continue nonetheless.

ici \
  --rcwd "./builds/myproject" \
  --push "." \
  --ignore --cl "CRTLIB $LIB"
  --cmd "/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/gmake BIN_LIB=MYLIB"

Development

After cloning the repo, there are two options:

  1. npm run local to install ici
  2. Open in VS Code and debug

Todo ✅

  • [ ] Step for creating chroot automatically as the first step, or to specify which chroot to use
  • [x] Ignore errors for certain steps. Sometimes we don't care if mkdir or CRTLIB failed.
  • [ ] Daemon mode so ici can be run multiple times but use the same connection
