I have configured MAC OS X environment (SDKs, licenses, etc) under current user for build server and would like to reuse all the settings by a build agent. Jenkins was chosen as a good option but for some reason during installation it created a new user jenkins and launch the app under it, causing the environment setup to be not accessible (no SDKs, no licenses are found anymore).
Is it possible to install jenkins under current user?
Probably it could be installed under jenkins but then launched under current user?
Any other good options for me to consider are appreciated.

I’m also going to recommend installing Jenkins via Homebrew, to avoid
some nonsense in Jenkins’ own installer whereby it puts itself in
/Users/Shared/. You really don’t want that.
If you're free to reinstall however you'd like, I'd recommend re-installing as the user you want to use, using whatever type of install you prefer, and then simply copy over the old Jenkins data directory to the new installation's location, and then changing the permissions in that directory.
That is to say, the directory containing the config, plugin and job information (it may be something like /usr/lib/jenkins, but could vary).
Then, chown -R the data directory using the user:group info you want to use so Jenkins has access to the files.
I have used this type of method in the past to transfer all the data from one install to another totally separate install on the same box, and it has worked well (one could use this method to transfer the data to an install on another box, as well).
Note: I would highly recommend making a full backup of the data directory before doing this, in case anything goes awry.
I have to use d3 graph at my web page. I never worked with d3. That's why, I'm facing some problem using it. Basically, I've to work at dropbox folder. So, my clients can see the worked file locally at their browser. Consider, I put a d3 chart at file.html file and my folder structure is like this
D:\Projects\Dropbox (Company)\MyName\FolderName\file.html
But, I saw that to run and see/show d3 examples I need run web server or run a python server. So, I've downloaded Python 3.4.1 and installed by double click. It's installed at this directory: C:\Python34
After that, I tried to follow d3's documentation for installing python server. So, I opened my cmd and type:
python -m http.server 8888 &
But, it gives me this error:
So, my question is:
How can I install python web server?
After installing that web server, is it possible see the d3 chart via this link: file:///D:/Projects/Dropbox (Company)/MyName/FolderName/file.html or I've put my files inside htdocs and run via http://localhost/folderName/file.html (I don't want to put files inside htdocs. It'll be tough for my clients see the output of the files directly from their pc)?
If it can't be seen without putting inside htdocs folder, I may find solution for running d3.js locally without installing any additional software/server(though I've found this type of solution for some d3.js chart but not for all). Thanks in advance and please don't mind if it's a lame question. Basically, it's my first day working with d3.js and I'm only ameture level skilled with javascript and jQuery.
OK, browsers are designed with security in mind, by default they don't let scripts go and grab a file from anywhere for very good reasons. They allow you to grab a file from the server or through requests. So to share your work with your client you will either need to use a hosting service - I would recommend bl.ocks, design your visualisation so it doesn't require any external data or provide instructions on how to disable browser security. You can read more about this here, here and here.
On python, in many cases python is already installed on people machines, so running a server from python shouldn't be an issue. All you have to do (on a windows machine) is launch your command prompt navigate to your directory and start your python server. Then open a browser and navigate to the localhost. Please note that python needs to be set as an environmental variable (i.e. your system path), the python documentation might help you here.
I LOVE using TextMate on my MacBook. It's great.
Unfortunately, I want to edit some files directly on my dev server, since it's difficult to recreate the environment locally. I'm using Git, so one alternative is to just edit locally, git commit, git push, and then git merge, but that's kind of complicated every time I want to make a simple change.
I'd rather just ... use another solution. One thing I tried is mounting a hard drive via MacFusion, and then loading that in an editor. But that's so freaking laggy/slow!
Has anyone cooked up a better solution?
OK - here is the one that works on Mountain Lion.
Go to http://osxfuse.github.com/
Install FUSE for OS X
Install SSHFS for OS X
Then the following commands on your terminal:
mkdir /Volumes/SSHFS
/usr/local/bin/sshfs username#host:/path/to/dir /Volumes/SSHFS
Done.
I would also recommend using the ReMate plugin as pointed out by another user to prevent TextMate from beach-balling every time you refocus it. Link:
ReMate http://ciaranwal.sh/remate
I use Fetch and TextMate for just such tasks. Fetch can be set to use TextMate as an external editor and can even automatically open files in TextMate by double clicking.
Saving the window in TextMate automatically pushes the file back to the server. Of course you would have to commit the changes on the server at a later time.
I'm sure most Mac FTP clients could do the same.
The best thing would be using TextMate's rmate script, follow the link and you'll find the instructions bellow, I recommend it since it will make your life easier and handle all the Nitty-Gritty.
I use the free version of TextWrangler for just this and it works great. I can load and save files over sftp.
The correct answer is to use sshfs and make sure "Perform atomic saves" is checked in the Textmate preferences window. The easiest way to setup sshfs is to use Macfusion. http://macfusionapp.org/.
Try one of these methods.
see: http://wiki.macromates.com/Main/FAQ#projects

You don't need to push every time you make simple changes; git is a distributed version control system, you commit to your local repository for the small changes. You should only push to the remote repository once you finished working on a feature/bug (or for really huge feature, a complete subfeature). Well, that's assuming you can recreate the environment; which apparently you can't.
A decent text editor can have integration with your favorite control version system; if you cannot configure your editor to commit and push from inside your editor, get a decent editor.
An even better editor can be set to save, commit, push, compile, and run your program all in one click or keypress.
If you are not able — for whatever reason — to replicate your environment locally and still want to use TextMate, the FTP client+TextMate combo is the best solution I can think of. MacFusion and all the other similar solutions are neat on the paper but awfully slow.
If you feel adventurous and confident enough to drop the TextMate requirement, SSH+Vim in the terminal works amazingly well.
Are you positive you can't replicate at all your remote environment?
I know this question already has several answers, and it's been a while, but I wanted to also point out DokanSSHFS - This will use SSH to make a local drive of the directory location on the server that you choose. Then you can use your editor of choice to edit the files as if they were on a local disk.
Most of the proposed solutions are centered around sshfs in one form or another. I have tried these solutions, but I found that reliability of filesystem is not always as good as desired.
There is tool called rmate, which allows editing of remote files in text mate.
Use command from ssh session to edit file on the server:
rmate file_name
The readme on github provides easy to follow instructions on how to set it up.
MacFusion is pretty sweet for free - basically ssh-mounting of directories.
http://macfusionapp.org/
Transmit 4 has a similar feature, tho it costs $$.
Try http://ciaranwal.sh/remate/ if it seems slow, as that will disable textmate from refreshing the file list so often.
Use Fuse for OS X http://osxfuse.github.com and the companion package, SSHFS (same URL) and install them. I installed the MacFUSE compatibility libraries from there too, just for good measure.
Then, install http://macfusionapp.org and follow the instructions located here ( https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/wiki/SSHFS ) to configure macfusion to use the newer libraries.
I had trouble getting authenticated with password, so I set up ssh key authentication and used macfusion without password. Works like a charm.
If you do use an IDE, you could just set up an SSH tunnel to your dev server and edit your files from the comfort of your favourite IDE. Saving the files locally would automatically then push the files on the dev server as well
P.S: I am NOT endorsing the use of IDE
You need rmate it works fine to edit files on your server via ssh using TextMate on you local machine.
Github link here
rmate might be another choice. On server side, you type rmate /path/to/file. The file will be transferred to local machine, where you use some editor like Sublime Text or VS Code (TexMate may also work). To use it, one needs to install both server and client.
For server side, there are several ones in various languages. Choose one you like. Here is the Github repo.
On local machine, as far as I know, VS Code and Sublime Text have their extensions to receive files. For VS Code, refer to here. For Sublime Text, refer to here.
On the other hand, Microsoft just announced an official remote editing extension for VS Code (not released yet).
For those remote machines not having ruby or if bash not compiled with /dev/tcp, but has python, this works: https://github.com/scriptmaster/rmate-python
If you have pip:
pip install rmate
or simply:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scriptmaster/rmate-python/master/bin/rmate
chmod +x ./rmate
mv ./rmate /usr/local/bin/rmate
then rmate /path/to/file
especially if you are in a containerd-os with restrictions (with only python and docker) such as kubernetes-vm or gce-vm
you don't need vs-code-server, atom-editor,
Is it possible to install the entire database(postgresql8.2) via command prompt or batch file or registry file bypassing the trivial procedure for installation. But then to a question comes that, how can we supply default parameters such as name,password,language,default location of database? Currently I'm working on 'Windows XP' platform.
Thank you.
For 8.3 and lower the obvious answer is: http://pginstaller.projects.pgfoundry.org/ which supports or supported silent installations. For more recent versions, please read: http://forums.enterprisedb.com/posts/list/2135.page
Use of existing installers would simplify your life and be where I would start.
This being said there is no reason you can't generate a script to register dll's properly run initdb, etc. This will take some extra knowledge of both PostgreSQL and Windows, and will be mostly suitable for custom solutions (i.e. not cases where you merely are packaging software that runs with PostgreSQL). I don't think an complete answer can be given here because once you need such a solution you need to design your installation around if. Books could be written on that topic. The docs http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/install-windows.html should get you started however since the only difference really between installing from source and installing from the precompiled source is just that you need to compile the source files first.
Failing that you could take a look at the binary zip packages. Typically these can be extracted and PostgreSQL can be run from inside them.
I am thoroughly in love with TextMate. I program everything in it, including ASP.NET for my daily job. However, I have a license for Espresso, and I was looking at it recently and discovered that there is a "Publish" section that I knew about before, but I didn't know that it could compare my FTP directory with my local directory and publish only the changed files.
Over the past week I've been finding myself using Espresso just for that functionality. However, I was hoping there was a way to get this functionality inside TextMate. I know that you could use an AppleScript script with Cyberduck (my FTP client) to upload a file when it changes, but I have never got that working and it also doesn't include the ability to merge files like Espresso does.
Am I plumb out of luck? Am I stuck using two different programs for the forseeable future?
I haven't tried it, but you should be able to set up a simple rsync command in a bundle in TextMate that will use environment variables from your project to synchronise.
See Using rsync to enable the project drawer in TextMate while working on a remote server for an example.
