Dennis HoppeSometimes I look into a tool and give up because it seems too complicated or a certain use case cannot be realised. In this case, I do not like the way <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ansible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ansible</a> handles groups_vars/host_vars, because the values are replaced by default. However, if you use a hash and set hash_behaviour=merge the variables can be defined following the DRY principle. In my home lab, I manage the hosts with <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/terraform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#terraform</a> and use the <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/proxmox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#proxmox</a> inventory source to identify these hosts and make groups based on tags.

Julien RiouYesterday, I received an alert on the server hosted at my dad's house.This host is often down because the humidity attacks the disks and brings down the entire host from time to time, or my dad tinkers on the electric circuit. So I wasn't worried at first.But today, after 24 hours and no news from him, I started to be a little anxious. What could have happened? Is he safe?I finally have an explanation. He drove to the south of the country to visit another family member but forgot to tell me he had arrived. The most important thing is that he's safe.He also forgot to tell me that he shut down the usual electric devices including the modem, so my server was cut from the Internet for two weeks 💀No worries daddy, I tested my DRP (Disaster Recovery Procedure) to restore my forgejo instance (<a href="https://git.riou.xyz" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://git.riou.xyz</a>) at my house. The procedure went well thanks to Ansible and ZFS. The service is now up and running again! 😎The other services on this host are only important for him when he's at home so they don't need to be restored somewhere else.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfhosting</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/drp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#drp</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/forgejo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#forgejo</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/zfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#zfs</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ansible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ansible</a>

FishdAnyone using the community.general.onepassword lookup function in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ansible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ansible</a> ??I've been revisiting some playbooks on my local Mac and found that, despite having a working <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/1Password" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#1Password</a> app and working 1Password CLI ... it's returning blank values no matter what I search for. Exact same behaviour on a Fedora laptop I have, so don't think it's my Mac at fault?Weirdly, if I use community.general.onepassword_ssh_key ... this will return keys from my vault, but I can't get secrets. The op binary works at the command line just fine (op read op://Vault/Secret/Reference etc etc ). And even more weirdly, on a work device running Windows (and a really old version of the 1Password apps) the onepassword lookup just works. Suggestions and retoots appreciated.

mirabilos“Fun” learning YAML properly?Okay. So. I have to learn ANSI-Bell for $ork. Meh. But okay.Pre-existing “fun”Playbooks are written in YAML. I hate YAML and have always used <a href="https://evolvis.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=useful-scripts/useful-scripts.git;a=blob;f=misc/yaml2jsn.php;hb=HEAD" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">yaml2jsn</a> to convert it to JSON (if possible) when I had to touch it in the past, as somehow a subset¹² of JSON is a valid subset of YAML accepted² by YAML parsers.① you’ll have to make sure you don’t emit some codepoints literally, and to format numbers in scientific notation a specific way, but that’s generally a good advice for JSON emitters ② except JSON strings have codepoints outside the Basic Multilingual Plane encoded as two UTF-16 surrogates in <code>\u####</code> notation whereas YAML parsers require it to be unescaped four-octet UTF-8, which breaks many JSON parsers; I ran into that just this week, in fact, for my RSS to Fediverse gateways…I personally find YAML unwritable, due to things like GitHub Actions’ example of…<pre><code>on: push: branches: - main </code></pre>… does not convert to…<pre><code>{ "on": { "push": { "branches": [ "main" ] } } } </code></pre>… but to:<pre><code>{ "1": { "push": { "branches": [ "main" ] } } } </code></pre>(GitHub accepts both syntacēs in workflow files in JSON.)But let’s go back to the “self-explaining, obvious” YAML:<pre><code>on: push: branches: - main </code></pre>So, we’ve already established that “on” is 1 and that something like <code>country: no</code> isn’t Norway but 0 (and real existing people have fallen into this, yet there are strong recommendations to not quote strings in YAML documents like ANSI-Bell playbooks, and somehow nobody even documents how strings are to be escaped and when they need to be escaped).But, riddle me this:<pre><code>push: <2 spaces>branches: </code></pre>But:<pre><code>branches: <2 spaces><hyphen-minus and space>main </code></pre>But:<pre><code>options: <no space><hyphen-minus and space>Ubuntu <no space><hyphen-minus and space>macOS </code></pre>(All examples from <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>.)I find this totally obvious and self-explanatory and consistent, and I totally know when to use two spaces, or dash-plus-space, or both.</sarcasm>But there is training material!One of the books I’ve been provided (actual published training material with an ISBN each) just hand-waves it away, the other says:<blockquote>The target section looks like the following code snippet:<pre><code> - hosts: webservers user: root </code></pre>[…] As per the YAML syntax, the line must start with a dash. […]</blockquote>So, basically, the <code>hosts:</code> line must start with a <del>dash</del>hyphen-minus? I think not.The “Hands-on interactive lab and helpful resources” in the Red Hat “YAML essentials for Ansible” “learning path” is similarly deficient in even fundamentally basic explanation. 0/10, won’t recommend. Fun with training material, continuedThe hand-waving book links to <a href="http://www.yaml.org/start.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><code>http://www.yaml.org/start.html</code></a>, so let’s read…<blockquote>a getting started guide for YAML</blockquote>… in my favourite webbrowser <code>lynx</code>:<pre><code> Page not found · GitHub Pages File not found The site configured at this address does not contain the requested file. If this is your site, make sure that the filename case matches the URL as well as any file permissions. For root URLs (like http://example.com/) you must provide an index.html file. [1]Read the full documentation for more information about using GitHub Pages. [2]GitHub Status — [3]@githubstatus Edit this document's URL: https://yaml.org/start.html </code></pre>… oooookay?But surely <code>yaml.org</code> has more material? *looks* … well, it has links to the specs and implementations. All very useful, but not right now for a hopefully structured introduction that explains the hows and ideally also the whys.Let’s follow the <code>*New*</code> link in which they announce the 1.2.2 spec… a blogpost. Okay. It has a title bar (brown background in Firefox) with a promising link:<pre><code> Y * * [2]Blog * [3]Docs </code></pre>Let’s follow #3 to “Docs”!<pre><code>←←← Twitter [1]Skip to main content Y * * [2]Blog * [3]Docs * * [4]YAML Glossary [5]YAML Cheat Sheet (BUTTON) Menu YAML Documentation __________________________________________________________________ YAML documentation is on the way! #content </code></pre>This 80×24 screenshot is literally the entirety of the official <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/yaml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YAML</a> documentation.Well, colour me impressed.Wait, no.Fuck that shit.Wait. This is for $dayjob. $customer also edits playbooks. I’m sure they’ll be delighted if I run things through <a href="https://evolvis.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=useful-scripts/useful-scripts.git;a=blob;f=misc/yaml2jsn.php;hb=HEAD" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">yaml2jsn</a> and commit the result as <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/json" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JSON</a>.Also, see footnote 2 above.Fuuuuck I’m SOL.So. Do I honestly have to wade through the spec to learn this?(Not that this is new. When I first learnt Python in 2008, I had to look at the C-language source code of the <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> interpreter to figure out things missing from the documentation. Which brings us back full circle to <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/ansible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ansible</a>, the culprit of bringing this entire shitshow to my attention.
