This is a quick post to capture something seen.
Ansibel is a configuration management tool
that I have been learning recently. More details in a future post. This
is just to capture this idea:

To: ansible
Ansible Galaxy is a centralised Github repository of public Ansible
content, see: https://galaxy.ansible.com/ It uses a local routine
that is installed when you install Ansible, called ‘ansible-galaxy’,
to create a blank template for your Ansible content. What is not well
known is you can run ‘ansible-galaxy’ in offline mode to create a
blank template using the command:
# ansible-galaxy init --offline my-role
Enjoy,
Chris
More on this as I get some more back-ends stuff taken care of, like
setting up a git repo and maybe auto-deploy from git push?
April has come and gone, and I did not manage to find time (or energy)
to post anything.
I spent most of the month at work getting ready to and then delivering
some training remotely in Nashville, TN, US. Now, I can say that I have
stayed at the largest non-casino hotel in the world, The Gaylord
Opryland.
Now that that is over, I get to gear up to design a new training plan
for internal product training. Such is the life of a Linux guy stuck
working for a marketing group.
On the home front, we have hit a busy time with soccer, volleyball,
dance, and swim time. I think we get a break sometime after the 4th of
July.….
Does updating the theme of the site count as an update? No? Okay...time
to type.
Life is busy right now, and extra things are gonna have to give. I have
not had a chance to do much photography (both making and processing
them), so I am putting the daily site on hold, again. For the sharp eye
among you, you would have noticed this last week.
On the upside, I have lost about 20 pounds since the beginning of the
year. While I am not where I want to be weight-wise, I have lost a pants
size which puts me back were I was about 10 years ago. Life is good.
I am going to see about updating things here more often, if nothing else
to have a record of things not in a cloud based service which may
dramatically change its pricing model on me.
