Thanks, I've fixed that!

Re: What is a Public / Ngrok URL? - Click On Tyler Help

Free ngrok accounts are limited to one simultaneous connection at a time - this is imposed by the ngrok service, not VirtualHostX. So, we respect their policy and cap it within the app, too.

If you have a paid ngrok account, you're allowed more connections. But you'll need to use their downloadable command line tool yourself to initiate the additional connections as VirtualHostX (currently) doesn't recognize paid ngrok accounts.

Cheers!

In newer versions of VirtualHostX, the "Refresh" button has been renamed to "Connect".

I'll get the FAQ updated. Thanks!

If you're editing a system protected file, you'll need to prefix the edit command with "sudo" so you can edit the file with administrator (root) privileges.

If you're editing a system protected file, you'll need to prefix the edit command with "sudo" so it will prompt you to enter the administrator password so you'll have permission to edit the file. For example:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Glad you like the idea :) I have a folder with a few someday/maybe projects in it in OmniFocus.

The pref pane has been discontinued. Use VirtualHostX instead.

VHX6 should work fine on Sierra.

Re: Switching from GitHub to GitLab

Tyler Hall — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 12:39:21 -0000

I eventually got tired of maintaining my own GitLab install since they update so frequently, so I moved everything to their GitHost.io service. That service was great, no complaints. I was happily paying $20/month for it. But last year when GitHub announced their new pricing ($7/month for unlimited private repos) I switched back to them. If I start collaborating with more people on projects, I'd definitely go back to GitLab.

Very strange. You're using the settings as shown above?

Hey, Chris. That's totally fine :) Version 6 will continue to be supported for a while.

Re: The Future of VirtualHostX 7.0

You should be fine on most any modern Mac. Plus, you can start/stop the virtual machine as needed.

Since I develop primarily for OS X and iOS, I used Xcode Server Bots running on a Mac Mini in the cloud to handle my CI. I've never tried integrating with GitLab's CI features specifically.

Re: Importing Jekyll Posts into WordPress

Tyler Hall — Tue, 01 Sep 2015 22:17:36 -0000

Hi, Joacim.

The script worked for me the last time I tried it (a few months ago). I'm happy to offer support via my standard consulting rate. Given a zip file of your Jekyll posts, I can likely get you a WordPress database file you can import within an hour or two worth of work. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to go that route. Cheers!

That's a terrific idea. Thanks for suggesting it!

Re: What's the difference between VirtualHostX and Hobo?

Tyler Hall — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:29:10 -0000

Hi, Loz.

My goal with the introduction video was to show how Hobo - the app itself - worked. I did gloss over needing VirtualBox and Vagrant, but it was out of a need to keep the video short - not to make Hobo seem like something it's not.

In any case, Hobo tries to make the initial setup process as simple as possible. If you don't have Vagrant and VirtualBox installed, Hobo will send you directly to their download pages. Installing each one is as simple as downloading the installer, double-clicking it, and following the instructions. There's no technical knowledge required to install those two components.

Also, my example of installing WordPress is just an example. There are thousands of other uses for Vagrant and Hobo beyond WordPress. I can't cover every scenario in my tutorial videos, so I chose WordPress as an initial example since many people are familiar with it.

All that said, Hobo is a technical product. I am offering pre-made Hobo files for customers to get started with, but using them doesn't absolve users from knowing - at a general level - what's going on underneath the hood. You can certainly drive a car without knowing how an engine operates, but it's still a good idea to know when to get an oil change and fill up with fuel.

As to your final question: Just download and install Vagrant and VirtualBox when Hobo directs you to them. I don't think you'll need a video walking you through the steps - they're just standard OS X installers. VirtualHostX is not required either.

Hope that helps!

Re: Hobo is the Best Way to Use Vagrant on Your Mac

Tyler Hall — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 01:07:47 -0000

You can use any provisioning method you'd like. By default, it allows you to attach a shell script to be executed during provisioning. But, there's an "Additional Vagrant Commands" section where you can add any commands - Cheff, Puppet, etc - to your Vagrantfile.

99% of my tasks have both a project and a context. I used OmniFocus' "Clean up inbox items which have" preference to enforce this rule.

Re: Handling Repeating Tasks and Routines in OmniFocus

Tyler Hall — Fri, 21 Nov 2014 14:27:19 -0000

Yeah, the contexts are all what you'd expect - broken down essentially by area of focus and then energy level.

Of note, I don't have any "Routines" tasks that repeat on a daily basis. I don't check OmniFocus enough throughout the day for a daily repeating task to make a difference. My logic is, if I'm committed to doing something every day, I should be self-disciplined enough to remember to do it on my own.

Also, I do still have repeating tasks in OmniFocus outside of "Routines". Stuff like "Change the house air filters" or "Get an oil change". But those tend to have a large window of time between repeating. I also "softly" separate them out of "Routines" because they don't have anything to do with keep my other systems on track - which is what I tend to make "Routines" for.

Great idea. There's not a whole lot in there, but I'll write up a short post about it tonight or tomorrow and link it here.
