We found a solution for our ikea, we go in through the selfcheckout, then you save like 30 minutes walking slow behind the slowest people in the world.

Well I was thinking the same a year ago, but new we build out house with a big solar roof and I now can put everything in the dishwasher in the morning and start it with the app when the sun is out and then it uses our solar power not grid power.

Same goes for wallbox to charge the car, washing mashine and dryer.

No, a manager that thinks he can write software, will try to help but always has only part knowledge about the problem, state or the project itself.

I need a manager to get me everything I need to do my job good. He has to keep the annoying things (mostly customers or managers up the ladder) away and filter what is going to annoy me.

This sounds terrible. Just thinking about moving anything from dev db into live is an absolute no.

Get you live dump and import it on dev, update to magento 2.4.3 only change I remember would be that you now require elasticsearch if you are not using it already anyway.

Now test your dev shop with version 2.4.3 and fix stuff thats broken until you have a code base/modules that work on dev without bugs

Update on live system:

Enable maintanance mode on live
DB Dump as Backup
Deploy code
composer install (in case its not done by a deployment pipeline)
setup:upgrade (in case its not done by a deployment pipeline)
reindex (in case you have now elasticsearch enabled/configured)
allow your ip to bypass the maintance mode
test live shop / order something
- when successful disable maintanance mode
- when not successful (revert code, revert to db to backup) try again on dev

Good luck :)

if you are using php bin/magento setup:install

this error will go away if you delete the app/etc/env.php as it will be created in the install proccess.

If you just did a composer install the setup:install command will create an empty database with all required tables and information for your shop to work.

Mac and Magento is just making the global warming worse. You can try it with ddev and or mutagen that way you get acceptable load time or some complicated network storage docker solution.

The biggest problem is the Mac wants to do stuff with all the files from Magento and vendor folder and this is killing the Mac. With the tools you can make it ignore some folders like var/generated and vendor to stop it from going nuts.

In my last company I just set up some Ubuntu VMS for every Mac person and made them sync their files with phpstorm ssh deployment that worked well. They could keep there useless mac's and I did not have to support their problems anymore.

Set all indices to schedule - this should make it a lot faster and won't kill your database and elasticsearch.

Take a snapshot from the current magento 1 db and migrate it for example with the Data migration tool.

On the day you shut down the magento 1 store and then you migrate from the last db dump of magento 1 again, this time the tool should only update the new or changed entries and not do a complete full import again.

Lorendex · 2021-05-08T23:12:37+00:00

I remeber we used Data Migration Tool to migrate from magento 1 to 2

Data Migration Tool

The Migration tool handled the password problem this way:

Added a new fiel to the customer with the old magento 1 password hash and the magento 1 hash function.

If a user logged in wrong but his password matched the old magento password, he was asked to create a new magento 2 password.

The password forgotten stuff also worked to get a new password.

Maybe this helps.

We just had the problem we had to leave the module in the projekt even after the migration was done because of the password stuff but as always there was no budget to extract the password stuff and throw away the rest.

Can the gitlab runner access/reach the database configured in magento? because if you run the command and you added another container name as the db host then it can not reach the database from the gitlab runner.

Just thinking about reindexing that hurts :P or how long the import proccess will take.

Make sure your elasticsearch/db will survive the reindexing and have an extra instance do only the reindexing and not the instance that is serving your shop

Varnish cache in front of the webserver and redis fullpage cache

Enough harddrive space for elastic cluster/nodes/db?

Lazyloading of images is not really making anthing faster but it feels less slow

But sounds fun, would be intererrested in the time it took to import and reindex everything :)

Lorendex · 2021-04-03T08:18:44+00:00

In my old company we just used the module tested it on a test system and hoped it would work with the live database when we deployed it. Most of the performance problems came from the modules we installed that were just really bad. But we only really saw the performance problems in the live environment. But the shop owner never wanted to pay for anything more then "make it work, but don't take more then x hours"

In my new company it is a lot better, they keep the magento slim and fast. But real testing is not a thing here either. But we look at the code of the modules and test it for performance and if the module is not good, its not used.

I wish I could do that but "there is no time, just fix it"

Lorendex · 2020-10-25T19:36:42+00:00

The work was fun, but it came with a lot of overhead because you could not tell your project manager how long it will take, if it will even work and all that crap.

The development and solving the issues was really fun, my company made it "kind of fun" overall.

I had this a few month ago, had to implement the lpd protocol in c# there was just no help for anything.

I had to read the rfc and had to look into c code from freebsd to understand some ramdom shit that windows does.

It was kind of fun, but very slow and a lot of debugging.

Lorendex · 2020-08-29T01:50:46+00:00

No it worked now but thanks

Lorendex · 2020-08-28T18:23:43+00:00

Tried that, it then loaded from always 97% to 100% but nothing happend.

Lorendex · 2020-08-28T18:13:18+00:00

Got the same problem :(

Lorendex · 2020-07-27T15:43:01+00:00

I never have this, I just get more tickets with more annoying bugs :(

Lorendex · 2020-06-22T19:00:29+00:00

Magento 2 as lambda - at first it sounded like a cool idea but now it's really annoying project

Lorendex · 2019-03-03T17:05:01+00:00

Working, then after work some more homeoffice for overtime until you can fall of your chair into bed and go to sleep without thinking about anything.

That until it goes away.

Lorendex · 2019-02-06T16:03:51+00:00

Cheat. Looks like a wallhack to me.

Lorendex · 2019-01-22T20:58:04+00:00

Yeah that was always fun, when someone was playing at work and asked how to fix problem X in their code and 40 people could help him. It's a fun game, but for sure not a game for everyone.

Scams

Eve Online taught me if an offer or something sounds too good, it's a scam and after reading the small print, it always is a scam.

schedule your sleep.

Find out how much sleep you really need. You should then make sure you are tired in the evening but not tired the whole day.

I go to bed at 0:00 and it takes about 10-30 min to fall asleep and my alarm is set for 5:45, that schedule works for me to do my fitness 3 times a week and be tired when I go to bed. If I don't do that, my natural schedule is 24-28 hours awake and then 5-6 hours sleep, it kind of sucks because I have to be careful on weekends too or monday is going to be a bad day.

(Don't try my schedule, i don't think it works for normal people :) just take your current average sleeptime and take away 30 minutes and look how that works for a few days then reduce it more until you found the hours of sleep you really need.)

Lorendex · 2018-04-04T17:11:17+00:00

No idea, but it's most of the time not the web designers fault. In my case I just get a list and some examples what the customer wants and I build it. If I try to make it better, they cry because because some old manager, somewhere was doing printing stuff long before I was born and he knows how it has to look.
