Hi, I’m @imker25

I work at a German Company as software developer. I mainly work on continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines and on tools needed within this pipelines. At work I do Windows only and Windows/Linux cross platform cli tools and use C#, dotnet, powershell, groovy, Azure Devops and Jenkins as basic technologies.

This GitHub account is used for my private projects. Here a usually do tools and stuff that is Linux related or cross platform. I mainly use golang for this projects. Due to my profession my projects here always provide automated CI/CD workflows.

The two main projects I do here on GitHub are gpsa and samba_exporter.

I invented the tool gpsa since I'm doing a lot of outdoor activities like skiing and mountain-biking. While doing this activities I create a lot of GPS-Track-Files of my routes through the nature. So to do statistical analyses of the track data I record, without needing to upload the tracks to non privacy friendly services, I decided to create this tool.

The tools can be used to for example figure out the average distance of my bike rides last month.

At my home I'm running a bunch of services within my Linux Based Home Server installation. To monitor this services I use the prometheus/grafana stack. But since a Home Server needs to provide Windows shares there is also a samba installation running.

But within the prometheus stack a exporter to monitor the smbd daemon is missing. So I started this project.
