Start mongodb/mysql services automatically in wsl2

Abhishek Sisodiya — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 08:16:03 +0000

First open a script using nano in your WSL terminal by running this command:

sudo nano ~/.local/bin/start_script

Copy the following command in that scipt:

service mysql start
service mongodb start

Press ctrl+o and then ctrl+x to save and exit the script.
Go to Windows start menu and type Task Scheduler to open Task Scheduler.
Under the Actions tab on the right hand side, click Create Task... to open create task window
On this window give your task a specific name and make sure Run only when user is logged on is selected as shown below.
Then click on Triggers tab and create a New Trigger by selecting Begin the Task At log on from the dropdown menu and under settings any user and select Enabled under Advanced Settings.
Then go to Actions Tab and create a New Action as Start a Program and under Settings set Program/Script as C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe and in the Add arguments -c "sudo ~/.local/bin/start_services.sh" as shown below.

That's all. The next time Windows starts, task will be triggered and it will run your custom script as root and start mongodb and mysql. You can also add any other services to this script.

A machine learning app to identify your apparel

Abhishek Sisodiya — Sun, 03 Jan 2021 16:49:18 +0000

What I built

I have built an application which can detect whether you are wearing a t-shirt or a shirt via webcam.

Category Submission:

Built for Business

App Link

https://clothdetector-kegak.ondigitalocean.app/

Screenshots

Description

User has to stand in front of the camera wearing a shirt or a t-shirt and then the application will automatically detect the type of clothing apparel. This app asks for camera permission which a user has to allow. All the rendering and detection part is done on client-side. It is basically a client-side application no data is stored on the server.

Background

I am currently learning the basics of machine learning and then one day I came across an awesome tool Teachable Machine which lets you build your own custom machine learning model and teaches you the basic concepts of Machine Learning using tensorflow.js. Since I work in a fashion-tech company, from there I got the idea to build something which can detect human clothes using a camera.

How I built it

I built it using node.js and p5js library ( a wrapper around tensorflow.js). DigitalOcean's App Platform gave me a platform to easily deploy and test the performance of the application. Not only this project helped me learn about new libraries like P5js and tensorflow.js but also the javascript language which is new for me. I also learned Key points like epochs and how to attain accuracy during a machine learning training process by building this project.

Get GitHub CLI in WSL2

Abhishek Sisodiya — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 12:27:45 +0000

Get the new GitHub CLI now in your wsl2 dev environment.

gh helps you work with issues, pull requests, releases and more. It brings GitHub to your terminal.

Installation

For people using Debian based WSL2 use these commands to install gh

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key C99B11DEB97541F0
sudo apt-add-repository https://cli.github.com/packages
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gh

For people using wsl based on OpenSUSE, Fedora etc and for manual installation you may look into this Linux Installation docs

Authenticating

After installation of the CLI, you will need to authenticate your GitHub account. For authentication, you will have to follow few steps

gh auth login

You will have two options to authenticate, either use browser method or use authentication Token. I will suggest using Browser method as its quick and easy.

Next, you will be asked to choose git protocol, choose https or ssh as per your own convenience.

Voila!! You are all done with the setup!!

For more commands follow this manual

Manage Github issues in Trello using Github Action

Abhishek Sisodiya — Sun, 13 Sep 2020 20:34:37 +0000

Using Trello for project management with your team now made easier with this Github action.

My Workflow

Trello Manage is a GitHub action that helps you automatically manage your issues in Trello with your teammates.

It automatically creates a Board with the name same as that of the repository name and a list with name Issues so that team working on that repo can manage issues easily.

It also assigns the issue labels and colour coding in your Trello board list same as that of your Github, enabling you to easily differentiate between each issue.

Submission Category:

Maintainer Must-Haves (Primary)
Phone Friendly (Secondary)

Yaml File or Link to Code

You can easily integrate this action in your workflow using this YAML:

name: Trello Issue List
on:
  issues:
    types: [opened]
env:
  TRELLO_KEY: ${{ secrets.TRELLO_KEY }}
  TRELLO_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TRELLO_TOKEN }}

jobs:
  issue_send:
    name: Send Issue to Trello
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Runs trello manage
        uses: sisodiya2421/trello-manage@master
        with:
          repo-name: ${{ github.repository }}
          trello-username: ${{ secrets.TRELLO_USERNAME }}

Additional Resources / Info

Making this action has been a really great journey for me. Being a newbie in JavaScript this action not only helped me in learning JavaScript language but also the core design features and use cases of Github Action. This being my second Github action project, I feel very much satisfied and convinced that there are lots of possibilities that can be made possible using this great tool.

More features can be added to this Trello manage Github action like automated issue assignment to team members or automated adding issues to Done list in Trello after it's been closed.

Possibilities are endless.

Abhishek Sisodiya — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 11:12:17 +0000

Being an opensource enthusiast, I am pleased to announce my first Github Action project as a submission to Github Actions hackathon in Dev.to please bear any mistakes that I may have made.

My Workflow

Scheduled Ping is a Github Action that sets a scheduled time interval to ping at your given URL and show you the response time details using cURL.

    # /30 denotes that it will run once every 30 minutes
    - cron:  '*/30 * * * *'

jobs:
  pinger_job:
    name: A job to ping
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      URL: ${{ secrets.URL }}
    steps:
      - id: ping

Additional Resources / Info

You can make changes to your workflow as per your own requirements like in place of using schedule event as a trigger to your workflow use may use push or pull events.

You also have the flexibility to change the time interval just by using POSIX cron syntax

Here's Link on how to add URL as a secret in your repo.

It has been a great journey from learning what is Github action to making a custom action of my own. Going through the docs I am pretty much sure the possibilities are endless.
