gofumpt and gofmt are the best. One of the reasons if I have a choice I'll code in go. I heard rumblings that rust was working towards having rustfmt be a standard crate.

I'm on bookworm now myself. Check this out https://forum.greenbone.net/t/external-access-to-gsa-web-interface-ip/1671/4 and thanks I'll let you know if I run into trouble!

I think my issue was I was building it on a debian 11 bullseye. I managed to get all the individual pieces built and running, there was just one piece missing and I can't remember which now. I'll certainly give it a go. Someone just sent me a kvm build of debian sid just for that reason in fact! I believe they are working on the gvm debian package.

Thanks :) Exactly. I do a lot of development and testing in an alpine linux container, simply because it has much newer versions of libraries and musl c. If I can get it to compile there, and on debian, I'm in good shape as far as compatibility goes. I used to really enjoy Arch and the rolling updates when I was younger, but I've gotten to where I don't want to mess with things constantly changing.

I use python venv for nearly everything I do python, and the way go is setup does make it extremely easy since it uses a per user environment anyway.

I knew that worked for a lot of stuff. That used to be what I'd try first but I honestly just use a venv for pretty much anything that uses pip nowadays. Still helpful to know there is a package though thanks! I intend to test it out.

Hugo is a static website generator used frequently for blogs. hugo bear blog is just one of the themes for it I happened to like so I used it. It does build reactive sites so that they look good on a phone or a pc.

Yes you can! I've attempted on debian before but it's something like 12 components you have to build and configure and I ran into some issues. It's been a while though and I don't remember exactly what gave me trouble. I know I had issues at one point due to the host not having enough ram. If you don't have at least 8 gigs it's not going to be happy. At least in my experience.

Let me know how it goes though and what distro you use.

They have pretty good documentation.

😱 I had no idea. I just went and read through that wow. I hope they don't sell to someone scummy.

I could have swore I tried it. facepalm I'll check that out then I might edit that part.

Nice. I might have to clone that setup for fun. What do you use for CI? I've got jenkins running but I've been wanting to play with gitlab CI/CD too.

I do a lot of my dev work in docker containers, simply so I'm in a clean environment. Doesn't hurt in ease of backup either. No particular reason not to use docker, I also wanted to keep it kind of brief and simple. The guide I originally read that inspired me had a lot of things that were very outdated, and as I worked through getting it working on debian 12 I generally stuck with the source providers instructions when things weren't already packaged for dpkg, or alternatives were more complex.

I am currently mulling around doing extensions on this guide and adding links at the bottom, or just extending this one a bit. Also just thinking about writing a guide for other stuff too. I've been helping people on discord and irc a bit recently and some of what I know might be useful to someone.

I don't know everything by any means far from it, but I've been around since my first beOS and slackware installs a long time ago and I've picked up a lot. I worked developing and deploying pfsense images for a company years ago and have just had a lot of random experience in linux and bsds over the years.

Awesome it is good to see the bearblog getting some love. Just to keep it short mostly. I was debating adding another article continuing this one using nginx for that part. I could add a section to this one though. Or would you use something other than nginx, I'm open to suggestions. I checked yours out, it's a bit snappier than mine :) . What are you running?

I know you said preferably no docker, but greenbone community edition is nice. It's a fork from nessus back in the day. They don't really put any restrictions on the community version. If you want to see it in action I have a test server up and running.
