#Proxmox virtualization often goes along with the great Proxmox Backup Server - and we always want statistics! Let's get our metrics of PBS in Grafana!

In this HowTo, we will quickly install and configure the pbs-exporter for hashtag#Prometheus on a Proxmox Backup Server system, add a token for the user and install the hashtag#Grafana dashboard. - #devops #homelab #netops #virtualization #backup #pbs #proxmoxbackupserver

All secrets in Pulumi stack state files are encrypted, and now the encryption process is even faster when using the Pulumi cloud: pulumi.com/blog/faster-secrets

Having spent 3 years in the depth of Pulumi's Azure and AWS integrations, it's been fun getting to contribute to a core improvement!

pulumiFaster Secrets in Pulumi IaCPulumi IaC now processes stack secrets significantly faster improving deployment times without compromising security.

#JeChercheUnJob

Dans 10 jours, je commence un bootcamp pour devenir Ingénieure DevOps, et je souhaite poursuivre par une alternance en systèmes réseaux et #cybersécurité. Ces études devraient me permettre d'être certifiée ISO 27001, et de bien comprendre toutes les réglementations actuelles

Je recherche donc un contrat de professionnalisation en sécurité informatique, plutôt côté #RSSI, et gouvernance générale.

Durée : 1 an, en Île-de-France, j'habite le Val-de-Marne, mais je me déplace à vélo, je peux donc aller jusqu'à la Défense ou ttes les villes limitrophes pour le nord.

Le repouet donne de la sérénité

Beware, #devops geekery lies ahead! Look away unless you're into that sort of thing.

I decided to give the #terraform backend feature of #gitlab a try over the weekend though I'm using it for OpenTofu. Generally I use the storage at Dreamhost for backend state since it behaves like an s3 bucket, though more recently I've started using the object storage at Linode since I get it for free with my job.

The actual integration was pretty easy though not having used http for backend state before it took a couple of commits to get it working. Looking at the documentation it's dead simple if you use one of the pre-built Terraform or OpenTofu Gitlab templates but I have a centralized template I use for my pipelines and I opted to build Tofu support into that instead of using the Gitlab-provided one.

The lack of support for Terraform Workspaces will likely keep me from using it heavily, but I do see a great use case for leveraging this backend state for bootstrapping a new cloud environment. Normally when I'm setting up a greenfield Cloud account I have to bootstrap the backend state by running with local state and then migrating it into the object solution once it's setup. The benefit of this would be that I could have remote backend state the entire time and not need to migrate.

Overall it's pretty good. I think if support were added at some point down the road for Workspaces, that might make me look at shifting to using this instead of object storage. If you don't have access to an object storage though then this was perfectly fine and it being accessible even with a free Gitlab plan is pretty nice.

seems my #introduction didn't migrate so here we are.
hello. i used to be on fosstodon at
@jabster28@fosstodon.org, but running my own seemed fun so now i'm on my own #sharkey instance at mace.lol

i'm currently in university for a computer science degree (no i won't be homeless.). i do a lot of
#programming and like to mess around with general #devops stuff (containerisation and networking mostly) in my free time, a lot of my mini projects revolve around automating this or that and making it work with everything else i have in my own ecosystem.
i
#selfhost a lot of services for ephemeral file sharing and password management etc.
my main languages are
#javascript / #typescript and #rust but i've been wanting to learn some #cpp or c# recently (i don't always want a program that's 1000% correct, cargo.)
(also css is genuinely an a tier language. insanely fit for purpose.)
i do some
#networking and find it pretty fun mostly

i play a lot of
#splatoon in my free time. i'm also fond of #mahjong, #minesweeper, and #tetris (modern tetris (usually techmino), not the official app) to sink my time into if i'm on my phone or something.

some more stuff i'm into that's probably more fringe:

#wikipedia editing is pretty fun, though it's rare that i'll get a chance to correct/add to an article that i know about and can source. doing coi requests is cool, though, you see some really interesting people

i'd love to be able to do
#cooking faster but i feel that's only possible with enough time or money to cook when you don't need to (i have neither)

#libraries are really cool and i'd love to go to more of them and document them. working at one seems fun also

slightly related but i wouldn't mind getting better at
#photography at some point (maybe make a pixelfed account?)

my only major political stance on here would probably be that
#privacy is a fundamental human right, and a lot of things online right now don't let you control that as well as you should

i guess that leads into me liking
#monero, there's not many other ways you can transfer wealth to someone without anyone else snooping. no, b*tcoin doesn't count, it's simply not fit for purpose.

that also goes into
#cryptography i suppose. the mathematics inside things like ecdh is pretty beautiful. one of the reasons i'm going to university is to eventually be able to fully understand elliptic curves and a lot of the cryptography we use nowadays.

that's it, thanks for coming to my ted talk. make sure to smash that like button, subscribe, and hit the red bell to get notifications when i upload. also be sure to donate to my patreon and ko-fi, link's in the description. you can also buy the product from this video's spons-

okay i'm done

you should do a random act of kindness today. maybe tomorrow. or not, i'm not your mom.

Week 7, The Domain Name System, Part III

In this video, we try to wrap up our discussion of the Domain Name System by addressing the nature of the root nameservers, looking at various different resource record types, observing reverse lookups, and thinking about how we can have assurance of authenticity and integrity of the #DNS results returned to us via #DNSSEC.

Continued thread

but then again i also hear sentences like “we need to ask the operations team…”, “yeah the operations team said…", “they are scheduling the deployment” far too often, to realize my fancy everyone-understands-and-practices-devops-dora-and-sre-principles is not a reality in $legacy-german-tech-world
#devops

I was laid off on Monday. Going to miss that team fiercely and I wish them all the best!

Anyone looking for a remote infra software eng/ #devops who likes working on platforms? I've most recently worked with #kubernetes, #terraform, #golang, and #puppet , in a #hybrid environment between #onprem and #cloud #infrastructure , spanning 4 continents. I've built out and maintained clusters throughout their lifecycles, architected and built out tooling and automation, and integrated with service-owning teams, all to ship reliable and secure products to market.
