I have a couple github issues that have been hanging out for more than several months. I'd like to incentivize them with a bounty to get a solution sooner than later. Has anyone tried Boss Bounty or something similar?

Boss Bounty looks like the most robust solution, but I'm not a fan of their 8% cut. That said, I don't know how you do something like this without a middle-man. If anyone has any first hand experience with something like this, I'd love to hear about it.

bmakelib (which is a minimalist standard library for GNU Make) v0.8.0 was released last week.

The highlight of the release is the ability to use maps/dictionaries in your makefiles!

Here's the example from the release page:

 makefile

    
$(call bmakelib.dict.define,THIS_BUILD)
$(call bmakelib.dict.put,THIS_BUILD,arch,x86_64)
$(call bmakelib.dict.put,THIS_BUILD,dir,/tmp/my-app/build)

some-target :
    @echo BUILD.arch = $(call bmakelib.dict.get,BUILD,arch)  # x86_64
    @echo BUILD.arch = $(call bmakelib.dict.get,BUILD,dir)   # /tmp/my-app/build

  

Someone posted a blog here a little while ago. I wrote up a big response only to find that OP deleted the post. I figured I might as well post my response here since it took me 45m to type out of my phone 🫠

What an interesting list. Some of these suggestions are good with others are not. I think we can reorder things a bit and make this more reasonable.

Jenkins

Jenkins is terrible! It should have been killed off a decade ago. Seriously, just don’t use Jenkins. There are much better offerings now.

Source control and CI/CD

The current trend is to rely on your source control provider for ci/cd. You may or may not have a choice in this space so let’s name some big ones. GitHub, Gitlab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, Gitea/Forgejo. They all act as a git server and all offer automation. Learn whichever your company uses. If you get to choose… GitHub is great! Gitlab is also good but the automations will be focused on bash and tend to get messy IMO. ADO is truly a Microsoft

Always call out Cloudflare for their bullshit. For those working for companies in devops, share this with your teams...

I'm looking forward to switch from Terraform to OpenTofu, but i have the impression that the ecosystem around it didn't catch up yet.

Did any of you already did the switch? If so, what do you use as a replacement for Terraform Cloud, the VSCode extension and/or terraform-ls?

For Terraform Cloud, the are many options: scalr, spacelift, etc. Spacelift looks nice as it can also run Ansible, but Scalr seems to have a better and simpler UI.

But on the editor side, there doesn't seem to be much... the VSCode extension has been forked but it still seem to be in its early days (cf. this issue: it still uses terraform-ls under the hood, which itself looks for the terraform binary).

Struggling with a problem that i just can't seem to figure out.

When starting from scratch self hosting both the SCM and CI/CD server.

Given that you can't use an existing setup to deploy/manage it, what is the best practice for deploying said services?

I can't seem to find any trace of comparison between these specific libraries. I'm planning on using Python for them. I just don't wanna write YAML.

Pulumi seems more prone to the "single vendor is the new proprietary" theory, because they're an actual business and shit, so might do a bait and switch here Terraform-style. But that's the only difference I can spot besides obvious API differences.

Does anyone have an opinion?:)

Out of principle I refuse to put any type of analytics on my sites. I don't want to send user data to third parties and I don't want to rely on data that comes from JavaScript on the browser unless strictly necessary.

But the thought recently occurred to me that I could use my server logs to create some basic data visualisation on Grafana.

I'd like very basic stuff:

• hits
• common referrers
• geo location by IP address
• bounce rates per page

What would be the recommended way to get this, assuming that I have traefik logs aggregates via Loki and Grafana installed?

Trying to do a couple things. I have 2 jump hosts I can use to get into my cluster login node. From my laptop to the jump hosts is password. From jump hosts to login node can be key-based, so if I do it all from CLI:

 undefined

    
[me@home ~]$ ssh user@jump1
Password:
[user@jump1 ~]$ ssh user@login1
[user@login1 ~]$ 


  

Same process if I use jump2.

So first thing I'm trying to do is set up my ~/.ssh/config to use the ProxyJump host and key file to get to login1. I have the following:

 undefined

    
Host jump1
  Hostname jump1.domain
Host jump2
  Hostname jump2.domain
Host login1
  Hostname login1.cluster
  ProxyJump jump1
  #ProxyJump jump2


  

I'm not sure how to configure the IdentityFile entries for each jump host. The user on the jump hosts has different id_rsa keys in ~/.ssh, but both are in the authorized_keys file on login1.

Second thing I'm trying to do is join or start a tmux session. From CLI, I can run:

 undefined

    
tmux has-session -t mysession || tmux new -s mysession && tmux a -t mysession

  

What is the industry/production grade solutions or if you have already any experience please share it. Thanks

I have came across Percona xtrabackup but I am curious what is the best production deployment best practices and tools that are actually used by companies.
