From a shell script, I want to detect if CC.net is currently building a project. I have the URL of the CC.net server and the name of the project.
Heck, to make it easier, I'm running this on the CC.net server itself! So any kind of local-process querying is fine.
I know I can grab the status page as HTML, and then grep that or something, but it seems awkward (especially as this is Windows). Is there an easier way?
Yes, if you don't mind writing some code you should be able to write a wrapper around ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Remote.dll if you poke around the source for CCTray you'll see that it is calling ICruiseManager.GetProjectStatus() which will give you a ProjectStatus array containing each of the active projects, from there you should have all you need.

If we want to deploy our NEST.js sever on the customer's environment, how can we hide our source code preventing from the plagiarism?
Unfortunately it is impossible to completely hide your package implementation. What you can (and should) do is using Webpack to create a bundle and minify your exported code. With that, it is pretty hard for someone to reverse engineer your code, but it is still doable.
Since Javascript is not compiled to binary, the executable of your code will always be Javascript, therefore it could be reverse engineered.
I set up a GitLab self-hosted instance and its working fine, my problem right now is that I don't really understand how the frontend works. Mostly because I've been focusing on the backend and because I couldn't find documentation about it either. I wish to understand how I can comment out things I don't want to show for the user or in the overall design, change aspects and text, and overall have control of the frontend.
I'm running on Debian 9, the setup was made with Bitnami using Google VM. As far as I understand I have to manually change the files I want, but I really don't understand the structure of this type of frontend.
What language do I need to know here and where should I find the documentation, how to find the correct directory and files, etc.?
While GitLab doesn't officially support any type of "custom frontend", what you can do is:
Fork GitLab
Use the GitLab Development Kit to implement your changes
Run a Source Install of your fork
The frontend is mostly written in HAML (for the server-side bits) and Vue.js (for the client-side bits).
Note: Even an Omnibus install copies raw ruby and javascript files somewhere, and since they’re physically on the system, they can be manually manipulated and hotpatched, but that’s not really a sustainable way of introducing changes to the codebase.
I'm developing a private web application for a company and they ask me to use their server to host it. I would like to prevent them the access to the source code. How can i do that? Their server is running debian and they have the root access..
I found some solution like packaging the application in one executable file but the application have lot's of dependency and I'm using loopback.io framework; this make packaging very difficult..
Any different solution?
The answer is no, you cannot prevent them from seeing the source-code. If they own the source-code, then it is even unethic to want something like this. If you own the source-code, then minify it. But before you do that, think about it. Will it raise the trust of your client in you? Even binary source-codes can be reverse-engineered. With interpreted languages, like Javascript, you cannot even do that. If you are afraid they will not pay you unless you protect the source-code, then implement the project on a local server and create a video to back up your claim that the project is completed. Although, everything depends on the actual agreement, which, you understandably will not share with us.
You can't prevent them from seeing the source code, but you can make it harder to read with browserify and uglifyjs:
browserify index.js --no-bundle-external --node | uglifyjs -c > bundle.js
This unfortunately won't preserve the original stack trace of errors and will make it harder to debug.
I'm looking for some tool, which provide me possibility to dynamically (online) translate portlets in liferay. I mean, I wrote portlet in English, but people from other country may want to use it with their own language, and they can want to make translation. I know that there is Pootle tool, but I'm looking something what I can launch on Java (JBoss). There is a Jython, but I'm newbie on that, and I don't know how run pootle on jython. If someone have idea about way to solve my problem, please help.
Or maybe more simple Is there possibility to deploy pootle as war file in application server ?
regards
To your simplified question: Pootle is a Python application - AFAIK those get rarely packaged as WAR files. It might be possible, but I've never tried it...
That said, the sweet spot of Pootle is to prepare software translations and bring them back into the software development process - e.g. build. Do you want to "live update" your language files or are you ok with exporting them to your build system, then redeploying the updated plugins? If you want to do live-updates, pootle might not be the right system for you.
If you want to use the translations in the development process (e.g. in buildscripts), your real question might be "How do I install pootle?" - but for this you'd have to give some more steps that you tried, what worked and what did not work.
I never installed pootle myself, but I won't expect it to run seamlessly on a Java application server. If you've never done so as well, rather go the easy way and follow the standard installation procedure.
I would like to version control my server's configuration, in case something happens to my server.
I think crontab files themselves are not intended to be edited directly (only through crontab commands), so how would I go about versioning them? Should I version the files anyway? Is there something else I should be looking for?
I guess you're trying to automate something on a web application. It clearly goes beyond the simple fact of your server crashing. What if you want to add another front-end server for example ?
People in the ruby community came out with a pretty nice tool, "whenever" (https://github.com/javan/whenever) to solve this issue.
Namely, the proper way is not to version control the crontab. It's rather up to each app to be able to properly configure itself.
In the case of Rails applications for example, you would use a tool like Capistrano to automate your deployment. And one of the capistrano task would be to setup the correct cron jobs, thanks to whenvever. Hope this helps !
