This post presents the snippet from the Nginx configuration that redirects all request to https://www.codever.land:

# redirect HTTP to www
server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server;
    server_name bookmarks.dev www.codever.land;

    return 301 https://www.bookmarks.dev$request_uri;
}

# redirect HTTPS to wwww
server {
    listen 443;
    server_name bookmarks.dev;

    return 301 https://www.bookmarks.dev$request_uri;
}

Note the missing www.codever.land in the second server/server_name entry, to avoid an infinite loop

Lots of other good Nginx resources can be found if you search for the nginx tag on codingmarks: https://www.codever.land?q=[nginx]

Source code for codever.land is available on Github - Star

This blog post presents a simple example showing how to insert a document in mongodb, in the Java language.

The code samples are taken from the Free-Programming-Books-Importer project, available on Github

Use MongoDB Java Driver

Add the java mongo driver to your class path, or if you use maven to the dependencies in your pom file:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.mongodb</groupId>
        <artifactId>mongodb-driver</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.2</version>
    </dependency>
    ......
</dependencies>

Prepare the Mongo Client

MongoClientURI connectionString = new MongoClientURI("mongodb://codingpedia:codingpedia@localhost:27017/codingpedia-bookmarks");
MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient(connectionString);

I am really happy to announce that we’ve reached and surpassed our goal of 1Mb of #DevBookmarks. This was possible by importing the free programming books from the Free-Programming-Books project, which is one of the most starred repository on GitHub.

You can look for all imported free books by typing [free-programming-books] (tag filtering) in the search bar, or by provide it as query parameter: https://www.codever.land/search?q=Bfree-programming-books%5D. Either way you should get a result similar to the following:

In this guide we are going to:

• install the latest NGINX version in Ubuntu 16.04.1
• understand configuration files
• generate SSL certificates and configure them in NGINX
• configure NGINX as reverse proxy

NGINX is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy, as well as an IMAP/POP3 proxy server. We use it in the #DevBookmarks project as web server to serve static files and as a reverse proxy for the NodeJS API and Keycloak Server:

Last week I migrated the www.codever.land project to use Angular CLI and it’s awesome. Initially it was based on Angular Seed with Webpack - preboot/angular-webpack. I couldn’t take the update breaking changes pain anymore when I wanted to add Ahead-Of-Time compilation¹ support. My webpack² configuration was also getting out of hand. But I did it, I moved it to Angular CLI and in this post I am going to list the major steps I had to take. It is based on the Moving your project to Angular CLI story with my own needs and flavor added to it.
