#ansible — Public Fediverse posts

Hace unos años me compré una Raspberry Pi 4B (antes de que el precio de la RAM se disparase), con la idea de poner un https://pi-hole.net y alguna cosita más como https://syncthing.net que son útiles y que núnca están de más.

Otra cosa no, pero me gusta más hacer el tonto con un ordenador que a un tonto un lápiz, así que evidentemente la cosa se complicó.

Metí #ansible para automatizar toda la gestión de la máquina y luego poco a poco me fue apeteciendo meter más cositas:

- https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden que es una versión open sourcel servidor de Bitwarden que funciona muy bien.
- https://readeck.org que es una aplicación tipo "Read it later"
- Calibre Web, que usamos en casa para gestionar la colección de e-books (y para el que busco sustituto, por si alguien tiene ideas)
- https://bambuddy.cool para vigilar y gestionar la impresora 3D en remoto sin tener que depender de los servidores de Bambulab
- Docker swarm para gestionar todas las cositas que hay, porque al final no me encantaba la idea de un docker-compose sin más.
- ... y cada días más cosas.

Ese es un poco el problema del #homelabbing, que una vez empiezas...

Y claro, al Raspberry Pi aguanta bastante más de lo que pueda parecer. Pero todo tiene un límite.

El caso es que junto con todo esto hace unos 10 o 12 años, un ex-compañero de trabajo se mudaba y me vendió super barato un sobremesa con una placa mini-itx muy chulo que ha aguantado vivo hasta hoy. Solo hizo falta cambiarle la gráfica después de 4 o 5 años de uso, pero sigue vivo.

El problema? Que después de 4 o 5 mudanzas la caja se cae ya a pedazos. Así que con la ayuda de la impresora 3d me he puesto manos a la obra para renovar la caja y así unificar todos los cacharritos del #homelab en un solo sitio... y voy a documentarlo aquí todo un poco por si le sirve de inspiración a alguien más :)

Alright the post-install playbook for arch is significantly improved.
Still a lot to do, but it’s already much better.

Btw. I just published my first Ansible role to galaxy.
It basically handles the installation of the CachyOS and Blackarch repo for vanilla arch.

Check it out if you like, I’ll definitely implement it to my playbook tomorrow.

And if you’re wondering, the playbook is currently in a testing branch since I haven’t verified everything, just optimized the code.

I’m probably able to check it this weekend when I’m back at my pc (currently working from a notebook) and if everything works it’ll get merged.

Currently reading Ansible for DevOps by @geerlingguy and wow, I have so much to learn.

Currently on page 144 and there’s already so much I can improve.

Gonna try to implement some of that stuff in my Arch Linux post-install playbook this week.

If im able to do so in time, a few blog post should arrive later this Sunday.

If not, there’s still gonna be a post, but on a different topic.

The playbook will get the blog post soon after improving as it’s well deserved.

I just updated some #ansible stuff for BIRD :)

https://git.uvok.de/ansible/tree/roles/uvok_bird

I have mental trouble, because I keep obsessing over how I should automate my Ansible setup for BIRD - I want to add specific sections to specific hosts only - but I don't really want to use templates and throw in dozens of different exclusion variables if I can avoid it. :| What do?

#ansible

Stop rebuilding servers at 2 AM. This GitHub Actions + Ansible setup provisions and hardens your entire VPS in minutes, not hours. See the exact workflow. #DevOps #Ansible #Automation

On Thursday, I have upgraded the most important (MySQL) database at work and it went not very well. There were a few unexpected misconfigurations and unhandled errors that lead to more or less 10 minutes of downtime instead of 1 or 2 and a Debezium connector snapshot, which is VERY costly for Kafka consumers.

Fortunately, we have learned from our mistakes and I have patched our Ansible playbooks to prevent all those issues from happening again.

This morning, I have upgraded one of the most important Mastodon (PostgreSQL) databases without any issue.
