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 🙏

knob-tool

v1.0.1

Published

An easy to use way to deploy to Github Packages for Docker.

Readme

Knob

A simple cli app that builds a docker image, tags it with a version, and pushes it to GitHub Packages for Docker.

Made by MoonBarc so he doesn't lose his sanity when developing for Docker.

Docs

In order to use Knob, you must have a Knobfile in your current directory. A Knobfile defines things like the version, url, and authorization details. Here's an example:

# Knobfile v0.1
# This is an example Knobfile.

# Fallback for when $ask receives no input or when using $default
SETDEFAULT 0.1

# Use $ask to get a prompt from the terminal, or fall back to the latest default set above.
VERSION $ask

# <username>: Github username <token-path>: A plain github token stored at that path.
LOGIN MoonBarc ~/GH_TOKEN.txt

# $version is replaced with the version specified.
URL docker.pkg.github.com/hypersapling/master-node/mkube-master:$version

There are 4 verbs so far: [SETDEFAULT,VERSION,LOGIN,URL]

[!] The login and URL verbs are required

There are also 3 system variables (custom ones coming soon) The system variables include: [ask,version,default]

These need to be started using a $ and can be put anywhere except inside of a verb.

$ask

The ask variable is special, and will prompt the user for the value when running the Knobfile

$default

The default variable is the fallback value for when a user does not specify anything in an $ask prompt, and can be changed using the SETDEFAULT verb.

$version

The version variable can be changed using the VERSION verb.

Make sure the Dockerfile and Knobfile are both in the root directory!

Have fun!
