There is a God and He loves you. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Everyone is a sinner and our sin separates us from the love that God wants to express toward us […]
I have not been posting as much tech stuff on my blog as I want to. The reason for this is I have been mulling about the idea of submitting my tutorials to a publication and get paid for my work. I still have not decided if this is the right course of action. Not […]
Merry Christmas from the Wippler family! We pray that you are enjoying this season of celebration as we reflect upon our Saviour’s birth. Truly, for the Christian, Christ is the focal point of the season. October was unusually mild and warm for Minnesota. Then on Friday, October 27, a snowstorm swept through our area dumping […]
The day before thanksgiving, I was pondering an issue I was having. I was pinning a package to a specific version in my Docker container and the repository I grabbed it from stopped offering this specific version. This resulted in a container that Jenkins responded as being built correctly, but missing an integral package that […]
In order to add a user to a kubernetes cluster, we will need several things: kubectl, CA.crt and CA.key (found in your head node’s /etc/kubernetes/pki folder), and openssl. First, create a private key for the new user. In this example, we will name the file employee.key: openssl genrsa -out employee.key 2048 Next, we will need to […]
I recently had the need to populate a file in a docker container based upon whether or not the container is in production or development. I eventually came across confd which let me populate data in files based upon particular environment variables. While confd excels with distributed key value stores, my needs (and infrastructure) is at a much […]

It has been a month and a half since we moved, and we finally are on a set schedule. The girls have started school, all boxes are unpacked, our house in California closed escrow, and we have successfully adjusted to the CST time zone. It always amazes me how much God has blessed my family. […]
(Note: This guest post is from my wife, Nicole. These are the events that happened July 25th, 2017.) After 6 hours of rest, we awakened rested (somewhat) and ready to resume our journey. Morning was fairly uneventful, and we were back on the road by 9. As we were fueling up, we realized that Clark’s […]
(Note: This guest post is from my wife, Nicole. These are the events that happened July 24th, 2017.) Well, after 4 hours of sleep, we woke and were on the road by 5. Forgot one little detail… taking girls to the restroom before we left. When we reached Adelanto, Mollie said she had to go […]
Today marks the first day in over 29 years where I am no longer a resident of the great state of California. No longer will iscaliforniaonfire.com be relevant to me or my family! With all changes to life there are some good things and bad things with every major life decision. From the move, I […]

One of which is via crafting a special certificate signing request and verifying the certificate signing request is genuine. On the puppet master Apply the following code on your […]
My first tablet was an Acer A500 which ran Honeycomb (Android 3.0). I used that laptop for everything – reading, pictures, studying, and using it to project games in the children’s class I taught at the time. It was used more than my laptop, phone, and desktop combined. It served its purpose until my wife […]
