Andreas SchneiderI've packaged prusa_exporter and deployed everything (prusa_exporter, prometheus, loki, grafana) on my home server with SaltStack now.
I'm loving it!

__sharky__Today I figured out why my #saltstack pkg.installed states on #freebsd sometimes failed. Just used it in a wrong way 😇 , but still no clue why it worked sometimes and sometimes not , but now I have working version where I can set the version of the package which was not implemented and only worked accidentally. Task for tomorrow creating pull request.

Finally nailed down a #Saltstack state for installing #bookstack. The automated Ubuntu script just wasn't working well for me.
Looking forward to introducing the app at $DAYJOB.
darixI would be careful if you see anything with salt in list_upgrades as the restart of the salt minion will mean you wont see what happened
zypper lu == salt -N v pkg.list_upgrades
zypper dup == salt N -v pkg.upgrade
zypper ps == salt -N -v pkg.services_need_restart
but otherwise this can be a nice way to upgrade a bunch of machines at the same time.

Migrating Forgejo to Linode Object Storage
The default for Forgejo is to use local storage but I wanted to migrate to Linode (Referral ) Object Storage for better scaling since I am using a lower spec VM for my instance. I found the post Upgrading Forgejo with S3 Object Storage which gave me a good starting point.

I was never satisfied with the variable loading of states in #saltstack . Maybe if you work everyday you will get it, but I don't write a lot of states and only a few times I need a states which had to be written for linux and freebsd, but than I did know what will overwrite what. Today I got introduced to the !py renderer .... mindblow #pyhton #iac #devops
