Hi ihr, wir suchen eine #OPS Person für Linux Server Infra. Full Remote möglich

#CommunityHosting #Ops

A small group of us are working on community level hosting of 'self-hosted' FOSS tools (think #NextCloud and more) setup as a local service offering for local grassroots organisations. We're seeking advice/tips/guidance.

We're keen to do some orchastration but want to avoid the complexity of say Kubernetes.

As a start we were looking at Ansible with Docker Swarm but we're now exploring other alternatives.

Anyone have experience at this sort of hobbist just a bit bigger than #HomeLab Ops scale?

#Pyinfra is being considered as an Ansible, in the projects words "Think ansible but Python instead of YAML, and a lot faster." (https://pyinfra.com)

Anyone have experience at this homelab/small hosting level? Would love any tips/suggestions for tools/approaches.

One source of inspiration is the 12Factor app methodology: https://12factor.net

Personally, as a rubyist I'm always keen to know what the ruby community is doing in this space also.

Haven't seen many others doing work at this scale, lets use the tag #CommunityHosting to keep connected :)

The Wheel of IT Life turns & now that DevOps has ruined software development by pushing Devs to have to do Systems work too - it's now that over-staffed & (deeply) under-skilled Cyber teams think that they too don't need Systems Admin/Ops help.

Another generation of IT workers suddenly fall into the quicksand of thinking their Ops team mates don't do anything.

*chef kiss* I'm old enough to have seen this before too, as Mainframe System Engineers watched young Network teams struggle to leave the nest of Systems operations.

We'll never learn, good luck with that you Cyber teamers.

Hahaha

Love it when solving the mystery of why the thing doesn't work results in a bigger mystery of why the other thing does work.

My #Mastodon instance's cache is growing way faster than I thought it would. Can't believe 15 users asked for 87 GB of content in 10 days... or maybe I went a little overboard with the relays

I'll just go ahead and throw more storage capacity at the problem

Hey what are folks using for service monitoring these days?

i self host some things that are production enough that i want to know when they're down. Mostly web.

Last time i did this it was nagios. I can do that again. but i through id check what's new and hot first.

I’m a full stack web dev. I asked an ops friend recently what is that one annoying thing she’d change about her profession. She thought about it for a while and said the way small companies try to do what big companies do but with a tiny fraction of the resources and just end up overworked and overwhelmed dealing with unnecessary complexity.

I didn’t expect her answer to be the same as mine, word for word! Ha!

I've written a blog post about choosing a configuration management system. Let me know your thoughts!

https://blog.emacsen.net/blog/2024/09/29/sysadmin-config-management/

Just stated: "Honestly, for critical infrastructure, I prefer bank transfers. Credit cards are refused or expire a bit randomly, as we see again here."

Any thoughts, Mastodon?

"#Container-Management leicht gemacht"

Der Talk von Florian Apolloner
(@apollo13) auf den gestrigen Linuxtagen Graz ist online verfügbar.

Er weißt auf konkrete Unterschiede in den Container-Umsetzungen hin, vergleicht #docker und #podman und zeigt den praktischen Umgang mit evtl. Problemen im #security Context.
Sehr hilfreich!

Hello people ! I'm trying to build a #bibliography of research papers about #security applied to #ops .

The only things I have for now are old and mostly related to #configmanagement (Burgess for ex). What is the state of things? There's lots of best practices and field knowledge on patch management, items lifecycle, hardening, vuls management, observability, etc, but research?
The core lock always seems to be "managing the chaos of an ever changing unbelievably huge and complex human construction without compromising core security primitive which are... (resilience? A magic risk assessment metric? The classic availability/confiddntiality/integrity/traceability? What matter to ops?). Where is the research on that field that must exist somewhere?

Please help with repost or connection
