I've been on a little bit of a writing spree. I decided to update my guide on deploying K8s on XCP-NG/XenOrchestra with Terraform and Ansible.

I wrote one a little while back but done it quite quick and didn't follow a lot of best practices. I have since re-written a bunch of it and you can find it here: https://godfrey.online/posts/xen_k8s_ansible_terraform/

Neues aus meiner @forgejo #Ansible "Giftküche" .. meine Rolle kann jetzt auch lokale Benutzer anlegen und nicht nur einen LDAP Server konfigurieren.
Ist noch etwas Beta und bedarf Feinschliff, aber die grundlegende Funktionalität wäre gegeben.

From zero to infra or building a production-ready setup with our API and Ansible: Because our customers often run web applications, Tim wants to show in his blog post how services can be provided and managed with our API and other tools.

I invented ansible-doc and it was merged into #ansible in November 2012.

At the time we relied on an external pager if people wanted that.

Sometime since (can't be bothered to search) somebody added an integral pager to the utility which is practical, but what sucks eggs is that noobs tend to CTL-C out of the pager (instead of hitting 'q'), so I constantly have to tell people to reset(1).

After uncounted releases, the bug is still there. Can somebody report it, please? ;)

So ansible doesn't like much of OpenSuse?

I get this message:

```ansible
Python interpreter discovery fallback (unsupported Linux distribution: opensuse-tumbleweed)
```

But it works.

#Ansible
#OpenSuse

Was looking to renovate my #homelab and noticed:

- #kubernetes is too complex* but implementations are standard and abstracted
- #docker compose is simple but deploying a new service isn't standard + require external reverse proxy
- #ansible means doing custom script for every service

What do you use in your homelab?

*Many moving pieces to troubleshoot, many resources for the control plane only...

Hm. I normally use https://github.com/pgautoupgrade/docker-pgautoupgrade whenever I need to deploy a #postgres container because I can just increase the version in my #Ansible playbooks to perform an upgrade.

Now I need #postgis for #dawarich and there doesn't seem to be such a convenient fork to ease future upgrades.

Am I missing something? Do I really want to bother future-me with manual upgrades that may include dumping, updating and restoring? Or would I just add these steps to my playbook?

Let's test #Proxmox 9 (Beta 1).

Time to test that all automation stuff still works with PVE 9; also ProxLB & Co :)

If your firewall team is unreasonable and wants you to send them a per-ip remote management tool port change to port X because they just want IP and ports rather than "wherever source has destination port Y, add port X", just feel free to send them a list with thousands of IP addresses to let them have fun implementing it in several web UIs. By hand, because #Ansible is too hard. ;)
