#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." (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: 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.

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!

We’re hiring again! The Mastodon team is looking for a part-time #Finance / #Ops Associate to support @mellifluousbox + @Gargron.

› Understand German #legal frameworks + systems
› Are great with MS #Excel!

Could also work as a long-term paid #internship. Can you refer anyone to us? More info/to apply:

Our search for a part-time #German-speaking #Finance & #Ops #Associate is proving much harder!

I've promoted the role in over 10 Universities in Germany & Europe, multiple startup-focused job boards and reached out to personal contacts for referrals and advice.

Is it time I join TikTok? 😅

Where and how do I reach more final year/master #students or #juniors with finance + #accounting backgrounds?

Open to suggestions!

Or pls feel free to spread the word:

"#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 ❤️

Treehouse Mastodonfanf42 (@fanf42@treehouse.systems)Is there anyone with pointers toward (not too old) research papers about the "ops" side of security, with implications on all the not-glamorous tasks like config management, patch management, hardening and hardening assessment, os lifecycle, etc ? And not vulnerability exploitation, response, malware things, etc. I don't even know if there's a standard name for that. I saw "operational security", but it looks like a catch all term. RT would be much, much appreciated #ops #itSecurity #security #research

Welcome. It's not that I am #NewToMastodon, but I am rather #neuhier with regards to the server I am on, so please allow to introduce myself, politely:

This is a rather private profile, with occasional toots around German #politics, #football and my personal life decisions (they’ll bring me to hell, I bet, if you believe in such stuff).

I'm #antifascist, and a #nocar person, and from that I think it is easy to conclude on the rest of my political views. If in doubt, please ask. Be prepared that most of my views are leaning towards what has been called #leftHegelianism.

Having worked in #ops and considering myself as #philosophy nerd for years, I am currently working as project lead for #BuildingAutomation and #EnergyManagementSystems. I am sure that humankind needs to change in that regards, and these four have to play a major role in that change.

Living in #Leipzig, #Germany I am happy to answer all questions around topics taking place in mid Europe, as I consider myself as European rather than German.
