And here is March already

Worked quite a lot but not on what I would have liked to. Mostly documentation/specs... Boring.

Learnt a little bit of MiniZinc, that was interesting.

Today I have migrated sonar 6.2 to 7.0. that was awesome. The new version is far better, cleaner UI and works like a charm on not-so-great VM. Because this went well I also updated Jenkins and, alas, installed "Blue Ocean". This was kind of unfortunate. Blue Ocean is okay but highly incomplete for an enterprise. I tested it because I wanted something that could outperform M$ TFS 2017 in terms of usability and integration.

The current machines I am building with are:
1. A GitBucket ALM + Repository VM
2. A SonarQube 7.0 VM (standalone only because of Postgres DB)
3. A Jenkins build master VM

All these are 2CPU/4GB RAM/128GB HDD. Probably I should consolidate them on a single, more powerful machine.

4. A MacOS build slave
5. A Windows build slave

In the meanwhile I got fed up with Azure CLI for another project.
