Master rolling deployments in #ansible with `serial` for batch control and `max_fail_percentage` to abort on threshold breaches. Ansible runs batch-by-batch, counting failures mid-run. Perfect for zero-downtime updates on any Linux. #snippet #rolling #serial #ValtersIT

Nerd sniped again. Starting to write #ansible playbooks for home and work.

A bug in my Ansible connection plugin needed a real FreeBSD jail to reproduce. So I put three of them on an idle 512 MB free-tier VPS.
With pkgbase, the base userland is just 33 MB. And persistent jails use zero idle processes. Here’s the build, the regression test, and the two sharp edges that cost me twenty minutes:

Annual looking for work post. I worked as a devops engineer/linux admin for the last five years, with strong ansible skills, but I'm willing even do level 1 if it's available.

Ansible is easy to install. A sane, reproducible development environment takes more thought.
My downstream-first setup uses RHEL 10.2, Podman, VS Code Dev Containers, and Red Hat-packaged Ansible Development Tools, while keeping the boundaries between upstream projects, downstream products, development containers, and production Execution Environments explicit.

After a long hiatus, I finally had some time to put into my k3s-ansible repo that helps you bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster in minutes.
One of the biggest things holding me back from updating it was being able to run k3s cluster tests in CI. Well, I finally have that working again and I can merge in confidence!
k3s_version: v1.36.2+k3s1

Ruby developers, we could really use your help on morph.io.
The jobs: Ruby 2.7 to 3.x. Rails 6.0 to 7. A supported OS underneath it. A pile of held-back gems retired. Or just a README fix telling us what broke when you tried to run it locally.
Every step is useful on its own. Pick one and open a PR.

All prepped and tested for #mastodon 4.6 update on #DomumSocial
Going to take the shot today 2026-07-27 at 2300UTC
There's some substantial changes both upstream and in our #ansible deploy path where i refactored a lot of things to enable better testing. Ironically this makes me more nervous about the push to prod, though next time (if this goes to plan) I'll feel better about it 😁
It should take all of 2min and be virtually unnoticeable on the user side and worst case we have tons of backups and can fully redeploy in a couple hours, so deep breath and jump in...

If your Ansible playbook runs change state on the second run, you're debugging production drift. Here's how to enforce true idempotency and avoid the Python performance trap. #Ansible #DevOps #Automation

A re-introduction as it's been some time since I posted my last one.
By day I am an unemployed linux sysadmin and devops engineer currently looking for new work. I specifically enjoy building automated deployments using Ansible.
By night I've been an electronic music producer for ~25 years, making music inspired by kosmische, noise, idm, and ambient.
Always looking to connect with others with similar interests.

#Ansible nerds - for those of you managing large fleets and dynamic inventories, what have you found to be the most effective strategies to organize inventory groups?
In this context it’s multiple domains, with their own
group_varsbut also trying to keep the roles and playbooks as deduplicated as possible.Are we creating elaborate groups for triggering the correct roles to apply, or are you pulling other metadata from your hypervisor/CMDB and firing roles based on tags? A combination of both?
(I’m coming in to a brownfield environment where none of this was really well established, and needs a LOT of refactoring - but I need a sanity check and some inspiration. Presently working without #AAP, but driving towards that business case because we need it)

Der Moment wo du in deinem #Ansible Inventory einfach nur eine Versionsnummer änderst und dich danach ein funktionsfähiges, gepatchtes #Forgejo entgegenstrahlt ist schon geil.
Danke an alle die hinter #Forgejo stehen und es weiter entwickeln und an @bodsch für die scm Collection (https://github.com/bodsch/ansible-collection-scm) die einem das leben einfacher macht. :)

I'm in the middle of updating my Ansible dev machine setup scripts to support Fedora, and I'm thinking about just dumping Ubuntu entirely. I'm forced into Fedora w/ the MacBook Air (running Asahi), and it's perfectly respectable. I can't think of anything I'd be missing by making the jump. #Linux #Ansible #DotNet

Since I re-image my Linux desktop so often, I have given a great deal of thought to preserving and re-creating my configurations.
So I wrote a single bash file to rule them all, sort of.
My script, `dot`, creates a tiny CLI Ansible installation, and interactively helps write a short Ansible playbook that defines symlinks, install scripts and Python environments.
I download the script and run `./dot --help` to get started. Use `dot check` to review selections, and `dot apply` to ensure localhost is configured with them.
Because it uses Ansible under the hood, it doesn't do unecessary work, it provides detailed output, and it creates a file with a full definition of the configuration in a well know standard (which can always be re-used later, even without my script.)
If you add `dot` to your own `dotfiles` repository, and organize yours like mine (`files`, `installs` and `reqs`) then `dot` will use find your folders and offer to link your files, run your install scripts, or create your Python environments.
