I recently read a post from Lorin Hochstein(@norootcause) that got me thinking a bit about my own stance on naming names in learning review. I currently leverage learning reviews, or as other may know them incident writeups, and some case post mortems (don’t use this), as a time for someone or a group to reflect on a timeline and then make observations about an event (positive or negative).…
At work the Ansible repo that I work with is not as organized as I’d like. I’d like to make sure that the one that I am starting to commit to in my Lab is not going to end up in the same state. In order to help keep it tidy I figured it would be a good idea to separate out some of the tasks that I have in the roles I am working on.
Setting Ansible for My Home Lab Since the weather was so nice I figured it would be a great idea to take the day off and work on my home lab. To start off I know that I am pretty comfortable with Ansible so I’d like to use that to build it all out. One thing that always bugged me was the directory structure. The first time I invested a lot into Ansible I went with the Alternative Directory…

Home Lab My home lab setup currently consists of a single “worker” (where I run portainer and all of my containers for the services my home needs) and a small Ubiquity setup. I serves me well and I am very please with it so far. I wanted to start to spin up some more containers and also test some thing out and figure it would be a good idea to add some more resources to the pool.
Quick Background I use a portainer setup for my home lab. I have 3 different Intel NUCs that make up my workers. They are all running an instance of docker and portainer. While setting up this blog I was looking to see if I could improve this setup a bit or at least upgrade to the latest version (this has been running for 6+ months now). When I fired up my browser and targeted my portainer…
