Resolved: Fix SSL renewal issue on Gitlab Server

Check the current SSL cert path: sudo grep -n "ssl_certificate" /var/opt/gitlab/nginx/conf/gitlab-http.conf OR sudo grep -n "ssl_certificate" /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb  You are likely to see something like this: nginx['ssl_certificate'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/gitlab.example.com.crt" nginx['ssl_certificate_key'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/gitlab.example.com.key"  2. In my case, I was using gitlab let'sencrypt. So, I installed certbot. sudo apt update && sudo apt install certbot -y  3.

Wordpress 2024 - The mind blowing vision.

on

 I had been using Wordpress in the start of my career and then I always I used that as a quick small solution thing for small informational or e-commerce websites that will be hosted on a Shared hosting Server.

However, I got a chance to view the "State of the Word 2023" conference and I am amazed at where the wordpress is heading towards. I must say, it is a must watch and worth watch.

Wordpress is focusing on:

  1. Guttenberg and Blocks Editor to make the experience and performance great
  2. Some of the great tools required for migration from different wordpress instances or even from other CMS'es say shopify or wix will be introduced
  3. Wordpress has introduced playground and it is worth looking at https://wordpress.github.io/wordpress-playground/
  4. Using wordpress as a headless engine would be great. check this out https://wpmovies.dev/
  5. Wordpress's theme TT4 (Twenty Twenty Four) is the best theme ever introduced and comes with 35 different patterns
  6. While I was exploring this, I got a chance to look at https://underscores.me/. You will love it for sure if you are going to create your own wordpress theme or you want to sell your themes. This site gives you a superfast kick start for creating your own theme.
  7. Impagine wordpress is going to add GEN AI. One must check out the video I've shared below.
