Met some folks from grafana and had a meetup.
This week was grafanacon and got a lot discussed,
But it did take my evening up and I did not have a good walk because it was dark,
Anyway I did get it done. I also recorded my time this morning
Did 1 RTC lap started at 212 steps and ended with 3481 so had 3269 steps.
Got 3 floors in during the walk which was just 1 real lap from home to home.
Took 38:02 minutes and ended at 8:27AM
This is for future reference.

I did a morning walk and an evening walk, those two combined got me my steps.
I am still sore though. Maybe a need rest.
I should go to bed early, I had an oppurtinity last night, but stayed up till 1AM anyway.

Got my steps done and don’t have class tomorrow.
So no rush, but looks like I can be asleep by 11PM and get a “good” 8 hours of sleep.
Also discovered a new command
ssh-keyscan – a tools to get ssh public key to append to your known_hosts.
Anyway, cools stuff.

Getting burned out, with a bunch of things even garage cleaning.
But I feel like things are getting done. Couple storage shelves got roller on them, that took a bulk of the day, but in the end they are neatly on wheels.
At around 6 I was beat, did a lot, but still a lot ahead of me.
Did not get my steps in, really tired. Actually slept from 7PM to 10PM, shoes how tired I was.

Recall I did not do my fitbit steps and stairs yesterday, but today it was OK.
The rest got me to recover a bit and make easy work of the days 10,000 steps.
Unfortunately I have not done that many stairs. As I post I have only completed 1.
But marking as done because I got nearly two hours to do it. Once every 10 minutes should do the trick.
After I post I will hit it.
Garage looking better, had a little setback because the wheels I placed on a board did not work right. The board was too weak.
Purchased some 2×4 and will use those. Will work on it tomorrow, enough for today.

Stayed till the bitter end. But it was fun.
I completed all the guided labs and tried it out on my own stuff.
Need to be honest though, this was a beginner class for a complex topic.
Not out of my league, in fact it lines up nicely of the things I want to do. But 1 week is not long enough to become proficient at ansible.
Exhausted today, lack of sleep too much to do, I did not get me steps in.

I been racking up some steps, and getting some good learning done on ansible.
But I have not had time to clean up.
I have been doing a little bit here and there.
Hopefully tomorrow my day will free up, last day of class, and it leads to the weekend.
Had to eat late yesterday, was working late, so I weighed in higher.

Wow, not even getting into the nitty gritty and ansible is really doing us well.
Anyway, looking at doing some custom playbooks, maybe even getting that goal of writing something to do a full featured built.
Got my steps in, breaking my rule of eating late, but been working hard.
Just finished work.

Wow, learning a lot, I actually installed it on my production network.
Still testing in a lab, but feel good about it.
Starting to write playbooks. Using some playbooks. One of the things I want to do is convert a CLI only server to a GUI server.
Unfortunately, things are not going as expected.

Wasn’t able to get much steps in today, but I got it done. I was in class most of the day learning ansible.
So for future reference here is how I install it on to Rocky Linux 9. Note that you will need a Red Hat account, although it is free.
First build you Rocky 9 machine and make sure to modify /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid and add the follow (where ansibleuser is the account you will use)
ansibleuser:100000:65536Then
sudo dnf -y install ansible-core
sudo dnf -y install python3-pip
pip install --user ansible-navigator
podman login registry.redhat.io
podman pull registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-22/ee-supported-rhel8In the user’s home folder create an ansible folder
In that folder create a file named inventory with the list of machines you want to manage
vi inventory
a-server1
a-server2
a-server3
a-server4Also create an ansible config file
vi ansible.cfg
[defaults]
inventory = ./ansible
remote_user = ansibleuser
ask_pass = false
[privilege_escalation]
become = true
become_method = sudo
become_user = root
become_ask_pass = falseOn each of the hosts make sure the ansible use can sudo
You should be able to test, here are some sample commands
ansible-navigator images
ansible-navigator run -m stdout ping-web.yml
ansible-navigator inventory -m stdout --list
ansible-navigator inventory -m stdout --graph
ansible -m ping allansible -m shell -a 'hostname' all
ansible -m shell -a 'id' all
ansible -m shell -a 'echo "hello" > /tmp/hello.txt' allGot a new filament holder for my 3D printer, one that has bearings and actually spins to reduce friction when feeding the printer. It also extends the spool a few inches outwards so it feeds in a more straight path.
Going to test a few runs, see if it improves things, could be the filament, and it is wet.
Still chugging along
