Welcome to my blog and my yearly "review". The year still have a few days left, but i want to dedicate the whole time over the holidays to family and my girlfriend, because of this i publish my year review already today :)This year was crazy for me, as for I guess everyone else on earth. Luckily, I was not personally affected by COVID-19, no one from my family was infected or did lose something, but I guess we are a luckily exception here. Everyone who loosed someone within this difficult year:...

Hey there! I made my first cloud-native contribution! I added a service discovery for Hetzner Dedicated (robot) and Cloud (hcloud) servers to Prometheus! So, what does this mean? In the "old" way you need to specify each target within your Prometheus job configuration:And you need to do this for each of your servers, it doesn't matter where you host it. But actually, i'm always lazy ;) I wanted to have a way that all my servers are auto-discovered and I don't need to reload/restart Prometheus e...

So 2019 is now mostly done. Only a few days will be left. And so I will write my recap for 2019. It was an incredible year. I have met great new people (mostly at LaraconEU).

Ich wollte, einfach auch nur für mich selber, das Jahr nun einmal Revue passieren lassen.Alles fing an mit zwei Wochen On-Boarding in München. Der erste Tag war bereits von Stau & Pannen übersät :)! Da ich ca. 200 km von München weg wohne, musste ich bereits gegen 5 Uhr losfahren. Ich wollte vorher noch tanken. Gut, das hab ich dann auch getan, bin...

So everybody writes about his 2018, so I'll "jump on the train" too!PersonalThis was the first complete year in my own flat, together with my girlfriend! All works fine :) My Parents visit us often, even if they live more than 600 km away. If you ever have the chance to live in Bavaria, just do it! It is a wonderful place! I really love the silence in the "Bavarian forest", the air and the nature! In the private everything works really great, but there is only one thing that is really annoying...
