You urge teams to stop using it [ansible?] as soon as they can? What do you recommend to use instead?

Dynamic inventory. I haven’t used it on a cloud api before but I have used it against kube API and it was manageable. Are you saying through kubectl the node names are different depending on which cloud and it’s not uniform? Edit: Oh you’re talking about the VMs doh

I’ve tried ansible vault and didn’t make it very far… I agree that thing is a mess.

Thank god I haven’t ran into interpreter issues, that sounds like hell.

Ansible output is terrible, no argument there.

I don’t remember the name for it, but I use parameterized template tasks. That might help with this? Edit: include_tasks.

I think this is due to not a very good IDE for including the whole scope of the playbook, which could be a condemnation of ansible or just needing better abstraction layers for this complex thing we are trying to manage the unmanageable with.
I have noticed very slow speeds with sshfs as well. I’ll have to give rclone mount over ssh a try. Thanks!
How do you do the sshfs mount, tracker and search queries? Is that over tailscale?
Care to share some war stories? I have it set up where I can completely destroy and rebuild my bare metal k3s cluster. If I start with configured hosts, it takes about 10 minutes to install k3s and get all my services back up.
What is seedbox? Is it part of the homelab or a service like the VPSs?
I have traefik running on my kubernetes cluster as an ingress controller and it works well enough for me after finagling it a bit. Fully automated through ansible and templated manifests.
Having played a couple of the Metro games and thought they were excellent, I can’t wait for this one, it’s goin’ be sick!
I’m not following… what site is leaking the information?
She deserves more than a footenote in history.
Very insightful. I definitely need to check out cloud-init as that is one thing you mentioned I have practically no experience with. Side note, I hate other people’s helm with a passion. No consistency in what is exposed, anything not cookie cutter and you’re customizing the helm chart to the point it’s probably easier to start with a custom template to begin with, which is what I started doing!
