Just a big shoutout to #Ansible and #AWX for being able to manage a AWX instance using Ansible.
The instance is running in #Kubernetes, managed by #ArgoCD. But the inner configuration of AWX (LDAP, Teams, Organisations, Permissions, Templates, Projects, Inventories, Credentials) needs to be managed,too. That is where Ansible comes in.

Next week I will once again have a AWX instance that manages itself by running a job on AWX. Nice, eh?

Dear #AWX users out there (AWX as in Ansible, not AWS as in Amazon...),

does anyone have good pointers on connecting AWX and #Hashicorp #Vault / #OpenBoa **without** having to define each secret/credential again in AWX?

I have set up a basic connection according to the documentation: ansible.readthedocs.io/project
And I have created a credential using that lookup and could successfully output its value in a playbook run in AWX.

But having to define a AWX credential for each secret that I need to pull from Vault/OpenBoa sounds like a lot of unnecessary duplication.
(Yes, I know you can manage AWX via Ansible. We do that already. But still, you need to define the credentials in your code somewhere for the automation to create it in AWX)

OK, today I took some time and finally reworked the #semaphoreui package for @opensuse. I had it on my todo list for ages and never got around to it. It was already 90% finished but lacking some fine details.

Now I have properly cleaned it up and removed the "ansible-" from the name, as it is no longer just for executing #Ansible code. Apparently Semaphore can now execute #terraform #opentofu and #pulumi code as well.

I'll do more testing before I send it to #Tumbleweed.
In other words: new vagrant-libvirt setup incoming! :-)

Stay tuned.

Anyone using terraform/opentofu for their homelab setups? Either on infra level or for CM?

I've made it a project for this year to get everything managed via gitops. I'm taking it step by step and as such I haven't locked down manual write access so that I can tinker with stuff and troubleshoot as needed.

I'm finding that I need a good way to spot state drift so that I get notified if I forget to correct things afterwards. I think this is going to be less frustrating than fighting against enforced state while I get my bearings.

I guess I could use a cron or a timer unit. Unless someone has any recommendations? I would like to manage all the TF using fluxcd eventually but I think it's too early to start enforcing desired state right now. I'm open to suggestions...?
