YASCR22 is a remote code retreat, organized and facilitated by members of the Small Coding Dojo organization.
This particular retreat will focus more on practicing and less on teaching.
The topic will be refactoring.
You can find more about code retreats in general at the Code Retreat website.

- Shared Folder in NextCloud - This is an internal link for the organizers.
- JetBrains Projector - Describes our JetBrains Projector setup.
- scripts - Automates our JetBrains Projector setup.
This section describes the technical prerequisites for workshop facilitators. Participants only need a recent web browser.
During the code retreat the participants will use a JetBrains IDE from a web browser. This IDE will be preconfigured:
- It will open a clone of the GitHub repository used during the workshop.
- It can pull from and push to that repository.
- Each commit is associated with the IDE instance name - there is no additional setup required for participants.
Multiple JetBrains IDEs run in associated JetBrains Projector Docker Containers on Google CloudRun
To be able to start and stop the deployment, facilitators need to install the gcloud CLI for their operating system. The gcloud beta commands need to be installed together with (or after) the CLI:
gcloud components install betaThe facilitators share ownership of the Google Cloud project YASCR.
To give new facilitators the required permissions, navigate to the IAM management pane and invite them using their Google account email address. Associate them with the Owner role.
If not done already, facilitators need to authenticate their gcloud cli with their Google account:
gcloud initInvoking the command later again would allow to change the default project for the gcloud cli. For YASCR this is
not needed, because the scripts specify the project via the --project argument.
We maintain a Dockerfile derived from the original JetBrains Projector Docker image in the docker directory. Rebuilding the image requires the following:
- Place a private SSH key with name
id_yascr22into your local working directory.../docker/.ssh/id_yascr22. This private key must match the public key registered with the GitHub repository - Configure your local Docker with the gcloud repository:
gcloud auth configure-docker europe-west1-docker.pkg.dev - Verify the configuration:
echo "europe-west1-docker.pkg.dev" | docker-credential-gcloud get
To build and push the Docker image:
cd docker
docker build -t "europe-west1-docker.pkg.dev/yascr-365610/docker-repository/projector-idea-c:latest" .
docker push europe-west1-docker.pkg.dev/yascr-365610/docker-repository/projector-idea-c:latest
