When managing services in Docker Swarm mode, the --prune flag in docker stack deploy helps keep your stack synchronized with your compose file. It ensures that only the services defined in your current file remain running, and anything outdated is automatically cleaned up. What the --prune Flag Does When you run this command: docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml mystack --prune Docker compares your current stack with the new compose file and performs three actions: ...

Introduction When working with strings in Go, you might reach for the strings.Split function to get the first part of a string before a known delimiter. However, this approach isn’t optimal for performance-sensitive code. In this post, we’ll explore why using strings.Cut can be a better choice and discuss some efficient alternatives for string parsing in Go. The Inefficiency of strings.Split While strings.Split is a straightforward choice for separating strings by a delimiter, it comes with drawbacks: ...

After updating the github.com/gorilla/csrf package in your Go backend from v1.7.2 to v1.7.3, you might suddenly notice that your Playwright tests start failing — specifically with 403 Forbidden responses. What Changed? This update addresses a security vulnerability: CVE-2024-24787. It’s a Golang backend issue, not related to WebSocket libraries like ws, despite what some GitHub advisory titles might misleadingly suggest. In v1.7.3, gorilla/csrf now strictly enforces same-site origin checks using the Origin and Referer headers. If these headers are missing or don’t match the expected host, CSRF validation fails, and the request is blocked with a 403. ...

Introduction Go 1.13 introduced powerful features for error wrapping and introspection — namely errors.Is and errors.As. While it’s tempting to reach for traditional type assertions (e.g., err.(*MyError)), there’s a safer and more idiomatic tool for the job: errors.As. This post explains why you should use errors.As over type assertions, with clear examples for both concrete error structs and interfaces like net.Error. The Problem with Type Assertions Consider the old way of checking if an error is of a specific type: ...

Introduction Hosting a static website on Linode Object Storage is possible, but integrating it with a custom domain and enabling HTTPS can be tricky due to certain limitations. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the challenges I faced while setting up a static website for a client and the solutions I implemented to make it work. The Challenges ⚠️ Client’s DNS Management in Linode: Since the client’s DNS is managed within Linode, switching to an external service like Cloudflare wasn’t an option. Linode Object Storage Only Supports CNAME: While I could point www.domain.com to Linode Object Storage, the root domain (domain.com) could only resolve to an IP address, not a CNAME. Limited TLS Support: Linode Object Storage doesn’t automatically handle HTTPS for custom domains, requiring a manual setup for TLS certificates. No Cloudflare CDN: Due to Linode DNS restrictions, I couldn’t use Cloudflare to improve performance and security. ⚡ Generate instantly: OneClickTLS.com - create self-signed TLS/mTLS certificates in seconds, directly in your browser. No uploads, no storage, and no setup needed - just instant generation. If it saves you time, you can ☕ Buy me a coffee to support future tools like this. The Solution 🛠️ To overcome these limitations, I set up a workaround using a reverse proxy with Let’s Encrypt TLS certificates. ...
