What is the SIZE of a Docker container? 
By Ulrich Krause | 8/21/17 1:31 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse
I recently was asked, if it is possible to tell the size of a container and, speaking of disk-space, what are the costs when running multiple instances of a container.
Let’s take the IBM Domino server from my previous post as an example.
Installing IBM Connections Touchpoint in an TLS-Only Environment
By Martin Leyrer | 8/21/17 11:13 AM | Infrastructure - Connections | Added by Oliver Busse
During the installation of IBM Connections Touchpoint for a customer a stumbled upon an "issue" that is not (yet) covered in the documentation but is/will be an issue in the "real world™": "ssl-only environments" (properly: "tls-only"). The Connections documentation has a whole chapter called "Forcing traffic to be sent over an encrypted connection" on how to redirect all HTTP traffic to Connections to HTTPS (which you should do in times like these).
Do you want bleedyellow.com? The charity auction has opened
By René Winkelmeyer | 8/21/17 4:28 AM | Business - Social Business | Added by Oliver Busse
Some time ago I was fast enough to catch the bleedyellow.com domain when it expired. Nowadays I’ve no use for it – maybe others want it.
Instead of just letting the registration expire I’m bringing it to a good cause. If you want it, you can have it – for some money that goes to a charity.
Source Control disruption in DDE
By Patrick Kwinten | 8/21/17 3:00 AM | App Dev - XPages | Added by Oliver Busse
In a project me and my colleague faced major complications working towards a GIT repository on TFS. In short: she did not see the changes I had made in her Domino Designer even though her GIT client had transferred everything correctly to the On Disk Project (ODP) on her local drive.

By Matteo Bisi | 8/21/17 1:19 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger
Some days ago IBM has released the Feature pack 9 for Notes and Domino with some nice new feature and bug fixes. Now I'd like to spend some lines to anticipate some features/update that will be released starting next month in one of the most exciting time for IBM Domino customers and partners ! Starting from FP10 ( read the Bill Malchisky blogpost ) , we will have the IBM support to run Domino inside a Docker container.
XPages unit converter widget

XPages unit converter widget. In this tutorial, I show you how I took a nodejs project and convert it into an Xpage application. The key points of the video: converting nodejs (commonJS ) modules into JavaScript scripts for your Xpage application, importing lodash into the application, creating a dynamic combobox on page load, adding JavaScript listener using event delegation, Styling the application with Bootstrap
Domino on Docker
By Ulrich Krause | 8/20/17 5:39 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger
IBM recently announced Docker support for Domino. It is supposed to come with FP10 at the end of this year. Domino IMHO is not a microservic, but Domino on Docker has other advantages. Think about a support person maintaining a product. All he needs to investigate a customer’s issue is the data from the customer and a Domino environment that is known to run the application stable.

Developing for Performance
By Paul Withers | 8/18/17 3:33 AM | App Dev - Web | Added by Oliver Busse
One of the themes which crops up from time to time in Domino application development and beyond is the theme of “performance”. It’s a topic which makes me grit my teeth because of the basic premise. Most articles start from what, for me, is a narrow terms of reference: performance optimisation being about how quick a specific amount of data can be served to a specific environment.

Richard Moy and team put together another great User Group event in Alexandria, VA last week. Its an event that falls half-way between the annual event once known as LotusSphere. This year’s event set a new attendance record, including a large contingent of IBMers allowing all to get the latest information and news for all things Collaboration (ICS). The following are the key take aways that I noticed as a former Notes developer still passionate about finding future paths for Notes data.

During Barry Rosen's Future directions on Notes/Domino session and again during our Linuxfest DC session last week at MWLUG, IBM announced that they will support Domino on Docker with Domino 9.0.1 FP10. Originally, this support would be announced in 2018, but due to the success of the IBM Application Insights Survey announced at Engage, IBM changed their task priorities and accelerated Docker support based upon your input.

After the success of the first IBM survey announced at our IBM Engage session in May (see link to post)---which helped to re-prioritize new capabilities like Docker---Barry Rosen announced a new survey at MWLUG. I completed it and am pleased with this survey's focus on APIs, app modernization, along with creating a new feeling that IBM is serious about Domino as an application development platform.

Dojox Charting Update - Part Two
By Paul Withers | 8/10/17 1:21 PM | App Dev - XPages | Added by Oliver Busse
First of all, with the demo database, there are a couple of basic, standard changes. The first is that I’m using the XPages extension library, so that’s enabled in the Xsp Properties. That’s used for the Java code, to leverage the ExtLibUtil class to give easy access to standard XPages objects and virtually every Java XPages developer will be using ExtLibUtil.

Yesterday I presented at MWLUG, and I want to share my presentation with both the ones attending and anyone who was not able to be there. I am posting two version, one with just the slides, and one with speaker notes, where I tried to capture the content, if not the exact verbiage of the session.

Accessing Bluemix Services from Client-side Web Applications
By Niklas Heidloff | 8/7/17 7:45 AM | App Dev - Bluemix | Added by Oliver Busse
Bluemix is IBM’s cloud platform to build and host applications which can leverage more than 100 services, for example databases and cognitive services. The services provide APIs which require credentials. Applications which are hosted on Bluemix as Cloud Foundry apps or Docker containers can access these credentials from environment variables. This article describes how to invoke Bluemix services from client-side web applications.
Bundle Inspector – Diagnosing XPages Plugin Resolution problems
By Cameron Gregor | 8/2/17 4:38 PM | App Dev - XPages | Added by Oliver Busse
A common task with XPages development is to installing some plugins that provide additional functionality.
If you do any plugin development of your own, you end up doing this task a lot more as you create new plugins, install new versions etc.
It is also common to encounter some problems after installing plugins to your Domino Server! Maybe your expected plugin doesn’t load up at all? maybe the wrong version is loading?

By Niklas Heidloff | 7/31/17 10:01 AM | App Dev - Bluemix | Added by Oliver Busse
My colleague Ansgar Schmidt and I have developed a new tool for developers to simplify building conversational user experiences with IBM Watson Conversation. The tool displays JSON data of REST API requests that is sent between applications and the Watson Conversation service and it allows developers to modify outgoing JSON messages.
