Ansible Is Not (Yet) Perfect

Introduction I have been using Ansible for over a year now, both at work and at home (for example to configure my Kubernetes cluster using kubespray. When I first used Ansible, I was blown away by its power and simplicity. And all that by leveraging the existing SSH server, without a new client setup? Awesome! But over time, I discovered more and more warts and limitations while using Ansible. In this blog post, I will go over all the cases where it falls short of the promises it make and where you start fighting against instead of together with Ansible.

Troubles with Drone on Kubernetes

Currently, I am trying out drone to automate building of docker images for my kubernetes cluster. I have a Docker-in-Docker (DIND) setup in Kubernetes to enable building docker containers in drone.

Before, I noticed that I did not have network connectivity inside the build containers.

Cloning a hard disk over the network

This is going to be short: My old trusty laptop began showing signs of old age. The screen started flickering, a problem I already knew. Last time, I bought a new screen from Alibaba for ~100€, but wasn’t going to spend that much on a three year old laptop. So, new laptop it is. The Lenovo V110-15IAP looked nice, so I ordered it online. It arrived today, but I wasn’t going to spend hours to set up a new OS, copy all files over, check if everything is ok — and I also didn’t have an external drive to hold all files during transfer … there must be an easier way.
