[2700.18 --> 2702.82] You know, since I've become a parent, my time just evaporates. |
[2703.02 --> 2703.62] Hell yeah. |
[2704.02 --> 2706.14] I just can't get the blog posts out like I used to. |
[2706.20 --> 2708.14] I am still working on it and I am still using it. |
[2708.28 --> 2711.30] But maybe I'll get it out before the end of the year, but we'll see. |
[2711.84 --> 2712.40] Pew, pew, pew. |
[2712.52 --> 2713.58] All right, it's our last one. |
[2713.64 --> 2714.66] Pew, pew, pew, pew. |
[2715.02 --> 2716.42] And we'd love to get your feedback. |
[2716.42 --> 2724.04] We try to get a couple in every episode and every now and then for a special version of the show, like additions, you know, like these 60 milestones. |
[2724.36 --> 2725.30] It's great to have your feedback. |
[2725.42 --> 2726.56] So we can just go through all of these. |
[2727.08 --> 2734.62] So please send us your thoughts, your questions, your ideas, your cool builds, whatever it might be at self-hosted.show slash contact. |
[2735.18 --> 2746.40] And DeckBot takes us out with the last one saying, I often hear comments like infrastructure as code, as well as sentiments like your servers are cattle, not pets. |
[2746.42 --> 2750.90] Well, as a Linux system enthusiast, I disagree with that premise. |
[2751.44 --> 2752.88] My servers are pets. |
[2753.40 --> 2755.66] They are special in my heart. |
[2755.66 --> 2762.58] That said, once a decade, when I finally get around to replacing the hardware, I'd like to spend less time potty training them. |
[2765.38 --> 2774.24] He goes on to say, is there a recommended guidebook or primer for Ansible or some other such tools that would be good for us hobbyist admins? |
[2774.72 --> 2775.50] Thanks for the show. |
[2775.94 --> 2777.64] It always gets me to try new things. |
[2777.88 --> 2779.02] Kind regards, DeckBot. |
[2779.62 --> 2782.56] I mean, there's a huge bunch of content around for Ansible. |
[2783.12 --> 2788.54] Jeff Geerling, friend of the show, he's got an absolutely amazing Ansible 101 series on YouTube. |
[2789.78 --> 2795.58] There's a book I read a while back called Infrastructure as Code by Keith Morris, which I'll link to in the show notes as well. |
[2795.58 --> 2802.52] In that book, he lays out an infrastructure framework for defining every part of your infrastructure as text files. |
[2803.30 --> 2805.26] And sometimes, as we call it, code. |
[2805.56 --> 2807.62] So infrastructure as code, that's what the phrase means. |
[2807.62 --> 2822.06] And essentially, you know, my take on infrastructure as code is it's actually helping me be less stupid because I can't tell you how often I set a system up manually, even if it's a very simple task like installing one or two packages. |
[2822.90 --> 2828.80] And then a year or two elapses and I come back to that server and I'm like, what did I do that for? |
[2828.92 --> 2829.46] How, what? |
[2829.46 --> 2835.52] And so for me, it's just a case of saving myself a future self a bunch of time. |
[2836.72 --> 2849.96] Yeah, I think the other thing I would really like out of it and one of the reasons why I want to get into this mindset myself is you can build on things you figured out before because the code is a documentation of sorts. |
[2850.04 --> 2856.82] You document your infrastructure there so you can go back and review what you figured out and you can build on top of that for future deployments, which I like that a lot. |
[2856.82 --> 2867.54] But I am with you, Deckbot, in that my servers, like my home server in the RV and the server here at the studio, they have real special places in my heart. |
[2867.76 --> 2877.94] Like I have inappropriate feels for both of those rigs, but I get what the sentiment actually is going for. |
[2877.94 --> 2890.14] When you treat it as cattle, the idea is it's something that if it had to be replaced, if its life cycle was complete, it's easy to replace, it's easy to swap out. |
[2890.30 --> 2899.78] The more I think about the analogy, it's kind of gross, but I get the idea because if you adopt that mindset, then your data tends to be protected and isolated. |
[2899.78 --> 2910.08] Your configurations tend to be off the rig and you're actually in a much better place should there be some kind of hardware failure or other disaster, just adopting that mindset and kind of deploying things like that. |
[2910.14 --> 2917.00] So even if you still have like the real inappropriate man feels like I do, it's still probably a better way to manage them and keep them. |
[2917.00 --> 2928.68] And it's getting to the point now where I'm kind of feeling like what Alex was alluding to earlier is just like wiping a clean slate, redeploying everything and doing the whole thing from the ground up that way. |
[2928.74 --> 2930.24] But it just is such a massive project. |
[2930.44 --> 2934.12] But of course, if we ever do it, I think we'd probably document the journey here on the show. |
[2935.20 --> 2935.22] Yeah. |
[2935.32 --> 2944.78] And, you know, we do have an infrastructure repo for the show as it stands at github.com slash self-hosted show slash infra, which I'll put a link to in the show notes. |
[2944.78 --> 2951.76] There's a bunch of Terraform in there and Ansible in there that I use to deploy all of the show infrastructure that I manage for Chris. |
[2953.36 --> 2965.00] But, you know, even if you're only implementing a few principles within the infrastructure as code kind of ethos, you'll still have a lot further down the road and a lot of people that don't even know what that phrase means. |
[2965.00 --> 2970.34] So, you know, 10% of something is 10% more than zero. |
[2970.34 --> 2973.22] That's right. |
[2973.42 --> 2974.80] I like your math today, dude. |
[2974.88 --> 2976.56] You're like your math whiz. |
[2977.22 --> 2977.78] Thank you. |
[2977.78 --> 2985.76] You know, I feel like I should mention there is a possibility this is going to get canceled because of the news out there. |
[2985.76 --> 2994.58] But I feel like I want to mention that if things go okay, you know, Corona wise, we are going to have a meetup at the studio January 2nd. |
[2995.22 --> 3000.20] And I'm trying out get together because get together is a meetup alternative that you can self-host. |
[3000.62 --> 3004.32] I'm trying out their hosted version right now to see how people like it for this small event. |
[3004.32 --> 3009.70] And it's get together dot community slash JB HQ, or I'll just have a link in the show notes. |
[3010.04 --> 3015.92] If you'd like to join us, we're going to have a new server christening party on January 2nd, assuming I can get everything done by then. |
[3015.98 --> 3017.76] I actually haven't even got the things powered on yet. |
[3017.80 --> 3018.42] I've been so busy. |
[3018.94 --> 3020.58] And then there's also the whole Corona thing. |
[3020.72 --> 3022.12] So it's all up in the air. |
[3022.26 --> 3024.56] But if it happens, that's where you'll find out about it. |
[3024.82 --> 3027.00] Even though it says it's at 3 a.m. for some weird reason. |
[3027.00 --> 3034.24] Also, I'd like to mention that we've now launched, based on popular demand, a network wide membership. |
[3036.20 --> 3039.86] And if you sign up before the end of December, it's coming up quick. |
[3040.94 --> 3043.52] I'm taking $2 off a month for a year. |
[3043.92 --> 3047.22] So it's less than the price of two membership, two show memberships. |
[3047.44 --> 3049.88] And you get access to all the network goodies. |
[3049.98 --> 3054.16] Every show's special features and goodies and any new shows we add. |
[3054.16 --> 3058.40] And it's also the only way to get Linux Action News totally ad free. |
[3058.60 --> 3060.12] And of course, it supports the network. |
[3060.22 --> 3064.56] It gives us that flexibility to be picky with the sponsors that we choose. |
[3064.68 --> 3068.66] It lets us do extra little things like get togethers every now and then. |
[3068.88 --> 3078.26] And of course, it gives us runway to make sure that while we are working on developing relationships with sponsors or whoever it might be, show production continues. |
[3078.84 --> 3079.66] That's critical. |
[3079.66 --> 3084.68] So jupiter.party, if you'd like to sign up for the whole network membership, there's also a gift option right there. |
[3085.10 --> 3088.32] And of course, you can maintain your self-hosted membership if you'd like to just support this show. |
[3088.36 --> 3091.50] If this is your favorite thing, it's what you listen to, self-hosted.show.sre. |
[3091.82 --> 3094.40] You get our special post show and everything like that. |
[3094.80 --> 3101.18] Even if you can't support us with a membership, though, we still really appreciate you listening, downloading, and maybe sharing it with a friend. |
[3101.18 --> 3107.92] A question we've had a few times, actually, is once I am a member, how do I get access to the member feeds? |
[3107.92 --> 3108.04] Yes. |
[3108.80 --> 3111.98] So you can log in at any time to the member area. |
[3111.98 --> 3119.68] But right after you sign up, it'll actually redirect you to a feed page, and it will generate a feed for each show. |
[3120.70 --> 3125.48] And if I add a show down the road, you log in to the membership area, and you just go pull that new feed. |
[3125.54 --> 3127.52] And then you just got to go pop that in your podcast player. |
[3127.62 --> 3131.52] That is a custom dynamic feed created just for each member. |
[3131.52 --> 3136.86] And we do make it possible to subscribe to just the ones you want to listen to. |
[3136.92 --> 3138.14] So maybe you don't want all the shows. |
[3138.64 --> 3141.16] I mean, I know what's wrong with you, but maybe you don't. |
[3141.54 --> 3143.50] Then you can just pick the ones you want in there. |
[3144.82 --> 3145.64] Well, very good. |
[3145.78 --> 3147.84] Thanks for supporting the show if you're an SRE already. |
[3148.16 --> 3151.68] And good work, Chris and Wes, on that membership. |
[3152.06 --> 3154.34] Something that's been in the works for a very, very long time. |
[3154.46 --> 3154.58] Yeah. |
[3154.80 --> 3155.32] You know what? |
[3155.32 --> 3159.18] It was like we had to connect multiple platforms together, three. |
[3159.18 --> 3164.70] And then there was like contract stuff because now all of the shows, which I didn't say earlier, but this is kind of a big deal, too. |
