The default for Forgejo is to use local storage but I wanted to migrate to Linode (Referral ) Object Storage for better scaling since I am using a lower spec VM for my instance. I found the post Upgrading Forgejo with S3 Object Storage which gave me a good starting point.

Similar to how easy it is to run uv add <package> to our python projects, I have recently been brainstorming (hallucinating?) about a workflow for django with javascript libraries.

Python projects support a list of URLs when creating your pyproject.toml, however I often forget the specific categories. Similar to my add-classifiers project, I have created uvx add-url as a helper.

mermaidjs is a useful tool where one can turn text into diagrams easily. I have used it on many projects, but have long wanted a way to click on an element and bring up additional information. Using htmx and the bootstrap5 modal api , I have figured out a way to do it.

While reading the release notes for a recent update of python-social-auth I was thinking about how I handle User-Agent headers in django apps.

Usually you can run an application without knowing what language it is written in. Sometimes when debugging unexpected behavior, that becomes very important. While debuging some headers changing, knowing that Caddy was written in [golang] explained the bug.

Python uses a list of “Trove classifiers ” to add some structured meta data to projects. It can be a bit tedius to add these manually. Combining the ease of uvx with a Python package, we can simplify this.

My previous post about packaging was several years ago. With the raising popularity of uv and just, I have updated my basic packaging steps.

Inspired by @adamghill ’s recent dj-toml-settings and webology ’s previous post on renaming django-admin I did a quick brainstorm of a django-uv command.

Now that just made it into debian trixie , it has become easier to install it everywhere. I have recently been updating some of my dev environment, and have started using it with my existing salt configuration to make it easier while testing.
