IBM übernimmt HashiCorp: Terraform und Ansible sollen zusammenarbeiten
Red Hat gehört seit 2019 zu IBM, HashiCorp seit Februar 2025. IBM hat damit Ansible und Terraform gekauft. Jetzt wird klar, wie die Werkzeuge zusammenarbeiten.

Can anyone point me to a ansible zabbix inventory tutorial? Not the ansible doc page, I'm going to need something more dumbed down than that. I'm not building a new Zabbix server, but I am building a new ansible server. #zabbix #ansible

Nixos mag die meiste Zeit nerven, aber wenn Du aus merkwürdigen Gründen mal schnell Ansible 2.11 brauchst, dann ist es für Dich da.

#DevOps people, Is there any well known good approach to combine #Terraform / #OpenTofu with #Ansible ?
I suppose most #cloud environments have relatively good & complete providers and perhaps that makes it easy to have single sources of truth and all that jazz... but I'm using #Hetzner's cloud and there are some things that can't be exported through datasources outputs (for example private IP addresses).
I had to script my way around, adding Moonrepo and Deno on top of that... but my setup is extremely custom and probably not taking advantage of some common practices in the field.

Time wasting of the day: I'm working on an #Ansible playbook to configure my NAS. I just want to create a few tasks and test it. I get "no route to host", even though it works perfectly well with plain SSH.
I tweak a few parameters. I Google Search. I ask GitHub Copilot. Zilch.

#ansible where do you put your playbooks?

Yeah! Good news. I got the vmware.vms plugin to work, and I can get an inventory! Nice. Not great part? The password is in my yaml inventory file in plaintext. I've tried using an ansible-vault/variable but I get "Failed to parse /home/ansible/inventory.vmware.vms.yml with auto plugin: 'vmware_password' is undefined. 'vmware_password' is undefined:" How do I get the inventory variable as either a vars_prompt or a vault variable? I'm assuming I'm just us…

First real test of the new cluster: encoding AV1 video. I created three Sisyphus encoding workers and decided to run some Blurays across all the servers. Wrote some Ansible to build the encoding workers because it's a pain in the ass, but right now I'm working through the first 3 videos in a queue of 12. Also, these are so much more efficient...
#homelab

@… Yeah, that works less well. I’m running Nix for some stuff on Raspbian and you simply can’t do the good bits, such as managing services. So I use Ansible, begrudgingly.
Gonna get myself a little x86 box soon. The Pi was cool but ultimately a failure for me, specifically because of this.

Why do I keep doing these things to myself? "[WARNING]: Collection community.vmware does not support Ansible version 2.16.14" Argh.

Among the many things I don't understand, one particularly striking gem is why Ansible' systemd support only provides the bare minimum.

I swear I get dumber every day. I've been ignoring some changes in Ansible/Zabbix lately and they finally caught up with me. No problem, I'll build a new server and rewrite my playbooks for the correct inventory integration. The documentation reads like its another language. I feel like I have no clue trying to do something very simple. (grab all hosts of zabbix group 'ansible_managed' and ping them) Ugh, back into the documentation. I know i'll figure it out but man som…
