During a troubleshooting session in Component Pack, I checked the Kubernetes events.

To install the Component Pack for HCL Connections 8, you need to create a Mongodb5 image. The image sources can be found in the HCL MongoDB repository , and the process for creating the image is documented in Installing MongoDB5 for Component Pack 8 . The process involves using Docker, so if you have it installed, you can follow the instructions provided.

This year, Engage took place at the Felix Meritis in Amsterdam . The Engage board (Hilde, Theo and Kris) did a great job and made this very special conference a great success.

I spend the entire day working on a very sizable 4k UHD display, and I frequently ran into the problem of wanting to share my screen with participants in various collaboration tools. Then, viewers claim that my screen is too small on the remote displays due to the display resolution of 3840x2160 pixels.

The last months I played around with Matrix , a secure and open collaboration system. The protocol looks very promising, it allows hosting your own server and federate it to other systems. So like SMTP, all these matrix users can communicate to each other.

Elasticsearch in HCL Connections Componentpack is secured with Searchguard and needs certificates to work properly. These certificates are generated by bootstrap during the initial container deployment with helm.

These certificates are valid for 10 years (chain_ca.pem) or 2 years (elasticsearch*.pem) and stored in the Kubernetes secrets elasticsearch-secret, elasticsearch-7-secret. So when your HCL Connections deployment is running for 2 years, the certficates stop working.
