NGINX Reverse Proxy for Docker Containers and for Portainer

Another day in Paradise. So on this beautiful day, I was wondering how I can set up a reverse proxy for Atoma’s test and release tool. Every module of the product runs on different ports and for our clients, it is really a pain in the ass to open up ports on their firewalls. Banking is really secure domain so I was thinking, how I can use a reverse proxy instead of browsing the different modules on nonstandard ports. I use NGINX as a reverse proxy. It is a fast and trusted open-source solution. Here is how I did it.

Moodle – Connecting to an Active Directory with PHP using LDAPs Connection

PHP and LDAP are not good friends. I had always issues connecting to a Microsoft Active Directory with PHP using the php_ldap module. And it was always a pain in the ass to figure out what went wrong or why it does not want to connect.

My Moodle did not want to connect to the Active Directory and of course, the only feedback by Moodle was an empty string. So let’s start the troubleshooting.

Best Way to Fix Microsoft Sticky Notes

Today I have faced an issue that Sticky Notes did not start. It turned out that recently, Sticky Notes received a much-needed update for the Windows 10. I have found this solution the Guiding Tech blog “Top 8 Ways to Fix Sticky Notes Not Working on Windows 10” post so I installed the update using the Microsoft Store. And what happened after the update? You can guess. I’ve lost almost all of my notes. Thank you again, Microsoft!

So my solution to fix Sticky Notes is:

DELETE IT! FOREVER!

And use something else.

Moodle Analytics – Part 3. – Setting up TensorBoard in cPanel to view the Model Results

After evaluating a model you will get the following message in Moodle:

Launch TensorBoard from command line by typing: tensorboard --logdir='/path_to_your_moodledata/models/4/1566208427/evaluation/coreanalyticstime_splittingquarters/logs/1566583192278/tensor'

Installing moodlemlbackend is a prerequisite to view the model results. Read this quick guide on how to setup the prerequisites.

The moodlemlbackend package comes with an older version of TensorFlow package which contains a TensorBoard application where I had problems to view the result. Therefore a new Python virtual environment was installed for running Tensorboard only. With cPanel the Python environment can be set up quickly.

Here is a quick guide on how to launch TensorBoard in cPanel and view the results of the Moodle Analytics models evaluation.

When you get:

LOCKED BY INGRESO NO EXISTE

you can use the following steps to unlock:

  1. Enter RECORD.LOCK L
  2. Search for your locked record on the %RECORD.LOCK enquiry screen. Eg. @ID CT CUSTOMERID. Then click on the record “FBNK.CUSTOMER$NAU.CUSTOMERID“.
  3. It will appear on the RECORD.LOCK Version. Add a V and a space in the front so it will be like “V FBNK.CUSTOMER$NAU.CUSTOMERID“. Press Enter.
  4. Click on the Play icon.
  5. You will get a TRANSACTION COMPLETE acknowledge message.
