CI jobs for my ansible playbook have been broken for months due to some changes with GitHub Actions.
This took me down a rabbit hole to fix...
Long story short: Self-Hosted GitHub Actions runner, running on Proxmox with nested virtualization to run molecule tests using Vagrant against VirtualBox VMs. 🙃
It was just an email, rather than an issue or bug and someone took some efforts to look up my mail and to write me. It made me very happy & we should much more honour the work of others! It reminded me of how much we now take software for granted in our daily life. Things we do and handle our daily business... Even if we don't donate anything or only small amounts, we should always show respect for the time and effort of the author and maintainer. Even a small personalized email can bring great joy :)
Just over here converting my Raspberry Pi bringup script to an ansible playbook. I am verifying it works with Vagrant+VirtualBox VMs before I try it on any hardware.
I learned all of this from Jeff Geerling's amazing book, Ansible for DevOps, ISBN 978-0986393426 if you want to check it out.
Is there anywhere that #mastodon devs do live chat?
I'm working on getting the #vagrant dev environment set up and am having a bear of a time understanding the documented steps. I feel like these questions would be easy to answer if I could chat with someone who succeeded.
It came to my mind today that maybe #limahttps://github.com/lima-vm/lima can replace some of my #vagrant use-cases. Sure, it does not have the same focus, but since I anyway had been using vagrant with libvirt (no vmware or vbox), it's running qemu anyway. Getting a basic box running seems easy enough, but the lima cli seems a bit counter intuitive to me. Difference seems to be that vagrant has more rules on how the box is built while lima seems to use cloud-init for user setup. Less lock-in, I guess.
Any insights how #fedora and #debian will handle the license change in #vagrant? I don't hope they would include BSL code in the distro, so… freeze the version of vagrant before the license change? Any prominent OSS fork already? #opensource#osi#license#freesoftware
