I think it is really sad that with the license change vagrant has dropped in everybody's perception. There are many projects no longer caring about vagrant (due to the reduced number of users) and no longer building or publishing vagrant boxes. Alpine is stuck at 3.19, Debian13 download is broken for months, Fedora is stuck at 39. (I never could get the openSUSE publisher working, so I take the blame for that).

I still like the vagrant workflow, having a easy way to create shareable environments. I really like it in combination with Ansible to easily have demo setups or playgrounds.

This far I did not find a replacement. Alternatives are either not as universally usable or are lacking features like the Ansible integration. I'll keep on looking...

Today in "Fun with your homelab":

One of my openSUSE MicroOS machines was under heavy load for a week and I could not find out what was wrong. I noticed that SSH logins were no longer possible, the login hung after the "Last login ..." line. Non-interactive logins worked, though.

Today I found out that suddenly this machine requires "ssh -t" or the RequestTTY option to get a working SSH connection. Huh?

All other MicroOS machines are of course unaffected by this (SSH from the same laptop to those machines works without "-t"), otherwise life would not be interesting...

Debugging this and then checking where the high load comes from...

As Hetzner is deprecating dns configuration via the dns-console, I migrated my domains to the new Cloud API. Last piece of the puzzle was to create new tokens and move from the old cert-manager-webhook-hetzner (by vadimkim) to the official chart maintained by Hetzner.

Migrated my 7 kubernetes clusters (k3s, rke2, OpenShift) without major hiccups, only had to do some cleanup due to old acme challenge entries being leftover after the migration (as cert-manager could not remove them without the new webhook and API token).

Only things left are the machines without k3s using lego.
