- working on a traefik split-gateway with tls (public|mesh)
- deciding on a domain (this is infinite crux)
- writing countless custom ansible roles

@mutefall Ansible you say eh? 🤔 i've moved away from configuration management systems that basically lead to infrastructure that is eventually consistent, some thing I don't really like and it's hard to reason about. My tools of choice currently are Terraform, Packer and my own shops[1] -- For me it's important infrastructure has state and is reasonably modular enough that you can reason about it with ease.

@prologic thank you for sharing this. i reviewed the shops repository and it really does follow some sound principles. i'm going to try to setup an endpoint with this and see how it goes.

can you elaborate a bit on your use of terraform and packer? keep in mind that my situation is a bit more complicated since i'm running 80% metal and metal providers for terraform are not exactly great. although using it to update dns records via whatever dns provider you like and other bits is helpful.
@mutefall yeah for bare-metal using Terraform is a bit tricky. However you can still use Packer to build your OS images and PXE + DHCP + TFTP to do automated bare metal provisioning

@prologic i did something similar with packer and alpine to roll my own automated bare-metal k3s cluster. i'd keep with the cloud theme but i've got plenty of good metal lying about and a business class connection to pipe it over.
@mutefall What kind of nice pipe do you have coming in? 🤔

@mutefall I hate you 😂 🤗

@prologic not the first time i've heard this. your upset may increase when i disclose what it costs.
@mutefall Go on... 😂

@prologic $89 buckaroos with a /29
@mutefall Yup you were right, I really hate you now 😅 (in the nicest way possible 🤗) Damn! I pay $130/month for 100/40 over Copper last mile (vDSL) where I barely see ~60/~30 + a /29 IPv4 block.

@prologic it could be worse. you could be 100r.co and relying on a nice submarine to give you radio data every fortnight.

that's really not bad considering your region. when i was in the eu it was rather expensive. now i have more bandwidth than i know what to do with so i create traffic crawlers that crawl the top 1m websites to keep the cache hot
@mutefall So jealous 😂
