If I want to remember how I set up a server, and do it again at short notice, I guess I could either write an #ansible playbook, or describe the steps in a #blog post. Given how rarely I set these things up, a blog post probaly makes more sense; then I can annotate more 'why' I did something.

Plus Ansible playbooks don't support snarky remarks as well.

The demo gods looked favorably upon me, and 22 folks in the audience launched LXC containers in our lab environment during my #cposc talk about dynamic lab environments built with #incus #opentofu and #ansible

Как мы помогли Piklema Predictive создать надежную и масштабируемую IT-инфраструктуру

Piklema Predictive — российская компания, разрабатывающая решения для оптимизации горного производства через анализ данных диспетчеризации, цифровые советчики, MES-систем и планирования. За 4 года сотрудничества AvantIT выполнил три миграции их инфраструктуры между облаками (Azure → AWS → GCP → Azure), внедрил Kubernetes и настроил мониторинг, что позволило клиентам Piklema снизить затраты на производство на 15–20%. Проблема: Piklema столкнулась с двумя критичными ограничениями. Во-первых, их инфраструктура на Docker Compose не обеспечивала отказоустойчивость, требуемую промышленными заказчиками. Во-вторых, зависимость от грантов вынуждала ежегодно менять облачного провайдера, что приводило к ручным миграциям длительностью до 2 месяцев. Отсутствие мониторинга усугубляло риски: о нехватке ресурсов (например, места на диске) узнавали только после сбоев. Цель проекта: Создать гибкую, отказоустойчивую инфраструктуру, которую относительно просто переносить между облаками при завершении гранта. Она должна...

On one of the terminals I use (Blink on iOS) I can't discern yellow on white, which is why I configure this in #Ansible

export ANSIBLE_COLOR_CHANGED="dark gray"

It looks a bit unusual because it's not yellow, but it helps me.

Hi all. I'm hating to be writing this post, but here we are.

A little while ago, I was laid off from my SRE job at a government contractor.

If anyone is looking for an SRE with:

- #Linux experience (a lot)
- #BSD experience (some)
- Plan 9 and Haiku experience (a little)
- Experience with a large #Ansible codebase
- Experience managing thousands of servers
- Experience with bare metal and VM management

and who isn't afraid of code - I'm your person!

I try to live my life by moving slow and fixing things - I'd be especially interested in roles around labor organization, #climate action or with a socially conscious #coop if anyone from those communities is looking.

Boosts welcome!

Hunting down easter eggs & putting them all in a single basket? Hopefully you're not doing the same with your VMs - the new ProxLB v1.1.1 is out, now!

#ProxLB is a loadbalancer for #Proxmox clusters that balances guests across your nodes based on cpu, memory or (local) disk size. It also comes with additional features like:
* Affinity / anti-affinity rules
* Maintenance mode
* Node evacuation (based on best resource usage)
* Best node evaluation for CI/CD (e.g. #Ansible or #Terraform)

The mini-rack #K3s cluster is complete. Refamiliarizing with #Ansible to get everything set up because I'm going to finally have my #homelab configuration documented and backed up, dammit.

The #s390x open source software team at IBM confirms the latest versions of various software packages run well on #Linux on #IBMZ & #LinuxONE

In March 2025 validation was maintained for over 30 projects, including #Ansible, #Apache Tomcat, & #Erlang 🎉

Plus, community CI was added for segyio, and Rust's linux_syscall project now publishes s390x releases on crates.io

What do you guys do about breaking home directories in #Linux.

I mean every desktop env after some time gets flaky and then you feel like you wanted a reset but you don't want a reset because it's a lot of work to reconfigure everything and you will probably forget about details.
I mean there's #nixos but despite me liking the idea I don't like the implementation

Are there highly mature #Ansible roles for like #gnome #kde or whatever?

How do you tackle this?

Что такое Ansible и как применяется в DWH-проектах? Сравнение Ansible с Puppet, Chef, SaltStack

В статье рассказываем, что такое Ansible и как инструмент может применяться в проектах DWH: от автоматического развертывания и настройки компонентов до восстановления после сбоев и централизованного управления параметрами. Сравниваем Ansible с другими инструментами для автоматизации управления инфраструктурой: Puppet, Chef, SaltStack.

Now that the Debian netboot/preseed is sorted, my next task was to write an Ansible playbook to rebuild the master nodes, doing the careful step of removing the node, removing from etcd, reinstalling, then re-introducing the node.

About 15 minutes in I realised that this task is actually taking longer than if I just ran this by hand. Sometimes you just have to know when to stop. How often is this process going to run? This is why I used to have XKCD 1205 as a printout on my desk.

"However, since there has been no announcement from Red Hat regarding the deployment methods that are expected to be supported in the new [#ansible #AWX] release (I haven't received answers to my questions...), I can't make any promises at this point."
