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...

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.

Any suggestions OTHER than upgrading to AlmaLinux 9 to fix these kind of issues with ansible? Ansible server is Alma 10, but I have a few v8 boxes and mostly v9. "FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Could not import the dnf python module using /usr/bin/python3.9 (3.9.20 (main, Oct 23 2024, 09:34:14) [GCC 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-22)]).

finally started my new business!! it's quite exciting for me as I get to finally do what I love on my own terms and with the person I love.
We do phone stuff and MSP stuff in the UK, and we are doing a free trial right now on our cloud phone systems so if you want to check us out id be very appreciative
I made a blog post as well about how we automate phone system deployment, useful if you want to learn how to tie terraform and ansible together!

Progress today. I got ansible working with the vmware inventory, and managed to solve the old (v8) machines complaints about python. New update script completed that takes snapshots, checks RHEL or Debian base and does update/reboot. All in all, successful day. And during all that, I got XCP-ng working. No VMs on it yet, but the system is ready for messing with finally. #ansible

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.

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

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

#ansible where do you put your playbooks?

@… 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.

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…

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

#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.

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…

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