How to install Bugzilla on Centos7
Bugzilla is a free open source bug-tracking system from Mozilla. It can be integrated into the source code management environments. After migrating from it into the Jira software few years ago, I wanted to install and give it another go.

How to upgrade PostgreSQL-server to 9.6
If you have followed my posts on how to install Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket in past, you probably have ended up installing Posgresql-server version 9.2. That version still is the latest version that Centos7 has on its official repository.
The problem is Atlassian dropped support for that version few months back but you still could install the updates. Last month when I updated to the latest version of Jira (7.11.0), I had an oops!! moment when server failed to start due to unsupported database server. Luckily I had a recent full back-up of the server and could recover easily.
how to install Matomo on Centos7
Matomo (formerly Piwik) is a free and open source analytics platform. Here i will go through the installation and setup of full server on a Centos 7 machine.
Simple way
Simplest and quickest way is to run the installation script i have created here.
https://github.com/sjoulaei/install-matomo-centos
Please note that the script is not designed to handle all situations and produce errors etc. It is meant to be run on a fresh installation of Centos 7. It will install and configure all you need to run Matomo server.
This should take than 5 minutes to fully install the Matomo server.
Confluence shows garbled text on macros and diagrams after update
After updating my Confluence to version 7.4.0, most of my graphs and diagrams on dashboard started showing garbled text on labels and captions. Every other text was okay.
This is most probably due to the missing fonts in your Linux installation.

CVS to Git migration is more than just upgrading your tool
We have a project that has a long history. The first code in the repository committed in 1994. The source code hosted on a cvs server. I have started migrating the source code to git.
I have never used CVS in real life but from what I can gather, it is safe to say that it is a thing of past and no longer meets the requirements of modern era code management. So there is no point hanging on to it.
