Aaaaand another one:

I played around with @Tronde's #OpenCloud #Ansible collection.

Easy to use, feature-rich and very nice in general. Get up and running with a OpenCloud container via Podman in a matter of minutes.

Here is a vagrant-libvirt setup using that Ansible collection:

https://github.com/johanneskastl/opencloud_tronde_vagrant_libvirt_ansible

(Actually, it is using a fork that contains some fixes, links to the pull requests are in the README).

Have a lot of fun!

New treat incoming: I played around with #Podman and #Nginx as a #ReverseProxy. And as usual I ended up creating a new vagrant-libvirt setup...

https://codeberg.org/johanneskastl/nginx_reverse_proxy_podman_vagrant_libvirt_ansible
https://github.com/johanneskastl/nginx_reverse_proxy_podman_vagrant_libvirt_ansible

One container running as a server (with a very valuable index.html...) and another container as reverse proxy.

Two branches, one with quadlets (where everything worked out of the box) and another running "normal" containers.

In in the last two week I tried to get the vagrant-libvirt setup for #Artifactory up and running.

I now have a kind-of-working setup:
https://codeberg.org/johanneskastl/artifactory_vagrant_libvirt_ansible
https://github.com/johanneskastl/artifactory_vagrant_libvirt_ansible

This #vagrant setup creates a VM and installs the official Artifactory OSS version. It works kind of well in my tests. However, I deem the official systemd unit broken by design (separate toot following). So this setup installs a new unit that worked better in my tests (but not perfect, which I think is caused by the official startup scripts).

Have fun!

The #okd project has released a version of #microshift based on OKD, so of course I had to try it out.

For those not familiar with it, OKD is a kubernetes distribution and is the "upstream" of RedHat's OpenShift.

Here is a single-VM vagrant-libvirt setup that installs, configures and starts the Kubernetes cluster using #Ansible.

Have a lot of fun!

I found Squest (https://github.com/HewlettPackard/squest/) recently, which is a self-service portal built on top of #AWX #RedHat #AAP (Ansible Automation Platform). Of course I had to try this out...

@christianhuth put together a Helm chart, while I tried to get upstream's way of deploying to work (they are using an #Ansible playbook-role construct to install this into #Kubernetes).

Here is the first result, the helm-based #vagrant #libvirt setup:
https://codeberg.org/johanneskastl/squest_on_k3s_vagrant_libvirt_ansible
https://github.com/johanneskastl/squest_on_k3s_vagrant_libvirt_ansible

(The ansible branch using upstream's deployment will follow, once I get it working with vagrant-libvirt...)

Have a lot of fun!

I had time to polish up my vagrant-libvirt setup for playing around with SemaphoreUI (https://semaphoreui.com/). Have a lot of fun!

https://codeberg.org/johanneskastl/semaphore_vagrant_libvirt_ansible
https://github.com/johanneskastl/semaphore_vagrant_libvirt_ansible

Currently only one VM with Semaphore. But I am working on another setup with a runner and a VM that can be managed by Semaphore.

....aaaaaand #OpenBao (the fork of #Hashicorp #Vault) is on its way to @opensuse #Tumbleweed in the latest version 2.2.1. Since 2.2.0 the webui is included in OpenBao, so this can be a full replacement for Vault!

Looking forward to doing more testing with it!

In case you want to try it out, here is a #vagrant #libvirt setup using #Ansible to prepare an OpenBao server VM and a client using a secret.
https://codeberg.org/johanneskastl/openbao_vagrant_libvirt_ansible

I had time to update my old #Teleport #vagrant setup to work with the current @opensuse packages maintained by yours truly.

https://codeberg.org/johanneskastl/teleport_with_vagrant_libvirt

Also some roles were cleaned up, tested and are now fully compliant to #AnsibleLint...

Here is a small Docker CLI plugin I did, that launches a Vagrant-managed VM using Parallels on macOS and sets up a Docker context for it. Useful if you want a lightweight, no-surprises alternative to Docker Desktop — works on Intel & ARM, with binfmt for cross-arch builds.

"docker vagrant up" and you're ready to go.

#Ubuntu no longer produce #vagrant box images for the current LTS (24.04).

I know bento do make a 24.04 image, but my developers and I often hit network issues with it.

Is it time to move away from vagrant and over to #docker?

Ansible-pull и GitLab CI/CD: когда лучше тянуть, чем толкать

Ansible — мощный инструмент автоматизации, но его push-модель не всегда удобна. Когда требуется централизованный контроль большого числа серверов, могут возникнуть проблемы: Нестабильные сети → клиент может быть недоступен во время обновления. Сложности с NAT → серверы находятся в закрытых "серых" сетях. Перемещаемые устройства → подключаются к сети только время от времени. Разбираемся, как ansible-pull решает эти проблемы на стенде , а также настраиваем CI/CD для тестирования и совместной разработки Ansible-ролей

Uuuuuuuh, #OpenBao (the open source fork of #Hashicorp #Vault) just released version 2.2.0 and now includes the UI, that was missing so far.

The package for @opensuse was adapted, tested and worked out fine. Will soon be available in #Tumbleweed!

If you want to test this out, feel free to use this vagrant-libvirt setup of mine:
