The (Warriors) Simpsons from PrinceVillain on Vimeo.

Using the “Vimeo” block with the ?dnt=1 didn’t work well. If you do a straight html block with the parameter, it does work.

If you don’t you’ll see this when trying to vagrant up.

 

Bringing machine ‘default’ up with ‘virtualbox’ provider…

]]> Good Tutorial for Setting Up SSL on AWS Lightsail https://paul-hayes.org/2018/08/02/good-tutorial-for-setting-up-ssl-on-aws-lightsail/ Thu, 02 Aug 2018 16:20:20 +0000 https://www.paul-hayes.org/?p=133 I’m working on a new site for my employer and have set up a Lightsail instance running on Cloudfront. Trying to set up the normal load balancer along with SSL has created issues with the health watch. The best resource I found to alleviate the issue was found here. It’s using LetsEncrypt, so remember you have to renew the certs every 90 days.

]]> Note to self: Don’t forget https://paul-hayes.org/2017/09/14/note-to-self-dont-forget/ Thu, 14 Sep 2017 12:52:23 +0000 https://www.paul-hayes.org/?p=107 I’ve been bouncing between Laravel, and WordPress while working on OpenShift over the past 10 months. I’ve moved over to a new company with a new contract. I need to refresh my AWS skills (Finally a company that uses AWS!).

In addition to the ton of AWS documentation on Amazon , there are courses available on Udemy.

Two course come to mind that I got lucky to buy during one of Udemy’s $10 sales.

  1. 3 AWS Certified (Solutions Architect, Developer & SysOps Administrator) Associate
  2. AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate 2017

If you have time, check them out!

If you’re planning on using it, checkout the requirements. Make sure your PHP is version 7.0 or above. (I totally forgot this on my laptop, and was suprised that Laravel 5.4.30 kept installing on it.)
