Go to “Settings” > “Add-Ons” > “Advanced SSH & Web Terminal” Then switch to the “Configuration” Tab, change username to root and enable the sftp option, then click safe: Restart your Home Assistant Installation.. after everything is up […]
In case you need to marry SBT + Artifactory with Jenkins Pipelines – and like me, you don’t want to post the Artifactory Credentials in a public accessible place on the Jenkins Agent, here comes your solution!

This is mainly a note to self on how to build inheritance hierarchies (e.g. Animal -> [Cat / Dog] ) with Play-JSON. Documentation can be found here: Play-JSON Akka-Http Play-Json
As mentioned in my previous articles about using VAVR together with Spring, use the following classes to make VAVRs Option and all Collection types based on Seq work correctly with SpringDoc. Just place them in a package that gets scanned by Spring! A big shoutout to bnasslahsen who provided me with the VavrOptionSupportConverter that I […]
