If you have multiple account with Gitlab or Github you will find that you can’t use teh same ssh key for both accounts.
The nicest way I have found of configuring this is by putting the different projects in a subfolder - and then using a gitconfig conditional include

InertiaJs does a great job of helping me build React apps on Laravel. The form help does a great job - especially with displaying validation messages.
But I couldn’t figure out how to change data and save the form in one action.
The Laravel database validation rules are more powerful and flexible than I realised at first.
Looking at the Available Validation Rules we can see that Exists and Unique both have the suffix (Database)
This is because the both implement the DatabaseRule trait which offers more power than might be expected.
I’ve had a few problems with docker and firewalls and seem to get a “good enough” solution only to run into trouble again later having forgotten what I’ve done so far.
This is an attempt to make some notes and at least capture where I am up to.

This is one of those things I wont need again for a while and will forget.
When using nvm to get a new version of nodejs you can find you no longer have packages - including yarn

My Laravel site was working just fine yesterday but after a code-only update today I was seeing 502 errors on some pages
upstream sent too big header while reading response header from upstream, client:
While the solution was hard to find it was easy to implement.
Yesterday I thought I’d fixed my https links on Laravel running in Kubernetes - but I had a nagging feeling that I’d just followed some random blog posts and missed something …
Unfortunately what I had looked for was force laravel to use https
When what I really needed was Configuring Trusted Proxies
Read Laravel HTTPS Behind a Proxy instead
The post below is wrong
This doesn’t seem to be well documented - I cant find anything about it in the official docs.
Thanks to Md Obydullah at shouts.dev
My Laravel site runs in kubernetes where TLS encryption happens in a proxy layer and I need Laravel to server content with https links.

As a backend developer I’m a big fan of Bootstrap it is a framework that lets me quickly put together user interfaces with consistent components using Modals, Alerts, Toasts and more - things that I don’t want to have to learn how to make work and add design to.
It seems like Laravel used to use Bootstrap by default but has migrated to Tailwind CSS
So far on my Kubernetes journey I’ve only ever had one container per pod.
But I needed to run php-fpm fronted by nginx - with static assets served direct by nginx.
A lot of online examples skip this complexity by serving both php and static assets via Apache.
While it seemed complex at first - like a lot of Kubernetes it’s fairly straightforward once you have made the leap.
