Blog HCL Connections

Last week a new blog editor for offline blogging has announced IBM Connections blogs support.

Blogsy is a nice tool and costs about 4€ in apple app store.

My first tests are not very good, because Blogsy 3.3 has problems with multiple Blogs in IBM Connections. Only one day later, after some comments in Blogsy Blog, a new version can be downloaded from Appstore. Blogsy 3.3.1 can handle multiple Connections blogs, but the App crashes right after uploading a new post. I hope they will make a updated version soon.

I enjoy offline blog editors very much, because i can prepare articles on train and upload them later after i found a free WLAN. This is my first non-test post with Blogsy. Integration is very good and you have quick access to web content, Youtube and Flickr.

I work at Vegard IT GmbH as a senior consultant with a focus on collaboration software, Kubernetes, security and automation. I mainly deal with HCL Connections, WebSphere Application Server, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform and Linux.

Sometimes my daily work results in technical talks and blog articles, which you can follow here more or less regularly. You can find the presentations in the main menu under public speaking .

I created a list of tools I use regularly, most of which have been released under an open source license.

In my spare time I read a lot, test all kinds of technical software and gadgets and try to follow about 200 RSS feeds.
Here you can find a collection of them.

This is my private blog, all opinions are my own.

The system has

  • two nodes
  • is installed with the medium-sized deployment option
  • About 7500 users with a high adoption rate, because Connections is also used as intranet

How to get regular snapshots with Elasticsearch

Last week I played around with the HCL Connections documentation to backup Elasticsearch in the article Backup Elasticsearch Indices in Component Pack .

In the end I found that I couldn’t get the snapshot restored and that I have to run a command outside of my Kubernetes cluster to get a snapshot on a daily basis. That’s not what I want.
