Started off today with a long walk outdoors with my youngest and then I was going to dig into the boring work of lifting and shifting my personal Kubernetes cluster over to a new one so I could upgrade FluxCD. There are almost zero docs on how to do an in-place upgrade.

This is going to save me a couple of hours today and AGAIN next week as I need to do this for a customer as well! I'm going to use that time to write up the blog post since if I can't find the answer easily, neither can you!

Oh a whim I Googled around again and came across an old Github issue that mentioned you should be able to just re-run the flux bootstrap .... command with all of the original arguments you used and it will do a perfect in place upgrade.

@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

Figured I was prepared to rebuild everything today anyway so what could it hurt. Magically it took me all of 3 minutes to upgrade from an older weird beta release to the latest stable and seems to be working perfectly.

As promised here is the blog post on how to upgrade FluxCD in place https://www.revsys.com/tidbits/how-to-upgrade-fluxcd/

Is it me or is the documentation for project templates uncharacteristically bad?

Like, I have so many questions about how this templating works. Do I get to template filenames? How? Can I include the template as a subdirectory in a repository, or do I need to have it hosted in its own? How about providing one as part of a wheel?

I would love to build a project template into NomNom, so that later worldcons can just “django-admin startapp --template nomnom:basic_template" or something.

@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@offby1 @ghickman yeah it's honestly not used a ton in practice (based on what I've seen) probably because of the docs and and possibly because of the existence of things like cookiecutter

Poor decision-making, as a service

If you're not writing bad code, you're not learning anything.

@dabeaz awwww yeah I’m gonna learn a LOT today!

Hummus, muhamara, tzatziki. Some pita there but more off screen and grilled chicken souvlaki that we did in the wood oven. Soooo yummy and just what I needed. AND got to cook with Lavender.

@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@greg have to admit it was! Looking forward to left overs tomorrow even.

@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@ehmatthes you’d think, but no an indoor one. Added it onto the back of the house during our kitchen remodel. Yes I’m a crazy person.

frank,
@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@greg me too! On a mission to turn them all into foodies.

frank,
@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@ehmatthes yeah lots of oven related tools but I only see the propane torch I use to light it, but I’m probably missing something! During the day I try to stay on the cutting edge of tech, at night I tend to cook like it’s 1875 🤣

frank,
@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@greg muhahaha all part of my evil plan!

frank,
@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@ehmatthes hah ok yeah the fire is a fire making tool for sure! The yellow gun is actually an infrared thermometer to get a rough temp of the various spots in the oven. It shoots a “laser” like the cat toys and gives you an instant surface temp reading at up to several feet.

Taught Lavender to make her favorite dish, Muhamara. She did 95% of the work.

@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@CodenameTim hahaha yes you can blame me! It’s definitely a slog to get through but so worth it in the end. I spent years thinking through the design and organization and pleased to say I got it really really close to perfectly efficient.

frank,
@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@CodenameTim ah yeah then you should wait for sure. I put in a good kitchen in the last place and you never can bank on recouping all the costs in the sale.

frank,
@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@ehmatthes @CodenameTim works for me!

My home office is much cleaner than usual for the first time in a year. Have been storing a lot of kitchen remodel related things in there. So I have to use it today right? 🤣

frank,
@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@satya actually gonna use both today! Working now and then showing my youngest daughter how to make one of her favorite dishes.

Once upon a time I lead the Actions team at @github. I wrote lots of Actions to do things, it was free (to me) and was great dogfooding.

One of them was to create a retro board in a repo every week, in a testing repo.

The action just failed and reminded me of the repo.

There are 223 empty projects going back to Mar 6 2020 on that repo.

Oops.

frank,
@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@andymckay @github I have an action the runs at the end of the month in a repo that creates a milestone and individual issues for the clients I need to bill with any special instructions related to them (who to email, PO Numbers, the details of the agreement in general). A bit of Python and a JSON data file and it’s been working perfectly for several years now.

Of course the shirt I procrastinated ordering before PyCon showed up while I was at PyCon 🤣

frank,
@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@greg I got this one and a few others at https://www.geeksoutfit.com/

frank,
@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@greg @ryancheley it's above average quality for sure, I was a bit worried but these were originally intended to just be fun at PyCon. I also picked up some others like the "I'm sorry about what I said when I was debugging" one.
