Office Add-In using VsCode and Mkcert Private Trusted CA

Introduction Developing of Office add-ins requires use of HTTPS. SSL/TLS certificates are therefore required to grant permission to use encrypted communications and authenticate the identity of the certificate holder. When a new add-in project is generated, self signed certificates are also created for the project. For browsers to use these certificates, they have to be added as trusted root certificates. There are times however that some browsers fail to recognize these self-signed certificates as trusted even after adding them as root trusted.

Deploy Buffalo App to DigitalOcean

In this article, we go through the process of deploying a Buffalo application to a DigitalOcean Droplet using Docker images. We will utilize the Docker Compose Tool to manage the containers and Systemd to restart our application in case of failure. Prerequisites You have developed a Buffalo application. I will be using theToodo example application. You have an account with DigitalOcean, You have created a DigitalOcean Droplet based on CoreOs Container Linux You are able to SSH into your Droplet.

Route Your Domain To DigitalOcean

Introduction to DNS, IP and Domain Name Domain Name System (DNS) are the equivalent of a network’s phonebook. They maintain human-friendly domain names and resolve these human friendly names to IP addresses. While it is easy for people to remember domain names, computers use IP addresses to communicate. Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique identifier label assigned to each device that connects to a network whether local or external. IP addresses are four numeric numbers separated by dots (41.

CoreOS Container Linux on DigitalOcean

CoreOs Container Linux is very light in comparison with other Linux distributions and requires applications to run inside their containers. Create SSH Key Pair For Server Authentication Login to the server (Droplet) will be via SSH keys and not passwords. SSH keys come in pairs, one private and the other public. The private key is known only to you while the public key can be shared with any SSH server to which you would like to connect.
