#CommunityHosting #Ops

A small group of us are working on community level hosting of 'self-hosted' FOSS tools (think #NextCloud and more) setup as a local service offering for local grassroots organisations. We're seeking advice/tips/guidance.

We're keen to do some orchastration but want to avoid the complexity of say Kubernetes.

As a start we were looking at Ansible with Docker Swarm but we're now exploring other alternatives.

Anyone have experience at this sort of hobbist just a bit bigger than #HomeLab Ops scale?

#Pyinfra is being considered as an Ansible, in the projects words "Think ansible but Python instead of YAML, and a lot faster." (pyinfra.com)

Anyone have experience at this homelab/small hosting level? Would love any tips/suggestions for tools/approaches.

One source of inspiration is the 12Factor app methodology: 12factor.net

Personally, as a rubyist I'm always keen to know what the ruby community is doing in this space also.

Haven't seen many others doing work at this scale, lets use the tag #CommunityHosting to keep connected :)

I’m a full stack web dev. I asked an ops friend recently what is that one annoying thing she’d change about her profession. She thought about it for a while and said the way small companies try to do what big companies do but with a tiny fraction of the resources and just end up overworked and overwhelmed dealing with unnecessary complexity.

I didn’t expect her answer to be the same as mine, word for word! Ha!

“A few years on, and with the SciELO Preprints server now in place, it is possible to look back at the “threats” and “promises” of those times, benefit from a more sober and fact-informed appraisal and answer to the question: what has actually been achieved in this short but intense period of time?” -- SciELO Blog "In Perspective"

SciELO in Perspective · Preprints in debate… six years later | SciELO in PerspectiveSix years have passed since social science publishers began debating preprints. A look back shows that the "risks" and "promises" raised in that debate rested on an inadequate understanding of the nature of preprints in the field. The SciELO preprints server, however, ended up showing some unexpected benefits.

Hello people ! I'm trying to build a 📚 #bibliography of research papers about 🔐#security applied to #ops 🏗️💻.

The only things I have for now are old and mostly related to #configmanagement (Burgess for ex). What is the state of things? There's lots of best practices and field knowledge on patch management, items lifecycle, hardening, vuls management, observability, etc, but research?
The core lock always seems to be "managing the chaos of an ever changing unbelievably huge and complex human construction without compromising core security primitive which are... (resilience? A magic risk assessment metric? The classic availability/confiddntiality/integrity/traceability? What matter to ops?). Where is the research on that field that must exist somewhere?

Please help with repost or connection ❤️

Treehouse Mastodonfanf42 (@fanf42@treehouse.systems)Is there anyone with pointers toward (not too old) research papers about the "ops" side of security, with implications on all the not-glamorous tasks like config management, patch management, hardening and hardening assessment, os lifecycle, etc ? And not vulnerability exploitation, response, malware things, etc. I don't even know if there's a standard name for that. I saw "operational security", but it looks like a catch all term. RT would be much, much appreciated #ops #itSecurity #security #research
Continued thread

Scratch that, spoke too soon. The final install also succeeded but now the box won’t reboot. So all was well until 20.04 and 20.04 → 22.04 borked it.

Fun times.

Can’t even get an ssh shell in.

Meh, rebuild from scratch it is then, I guess.

:awesome: 👍

#web#dev#ops

Just updated a server I hadn’t touched in over six years from Ubuntu 16.04 → 18.04 → 20.04 → 22.04 and it all went smoothly; not a single issue.

I can’t wait for a server with Fedora Silverblue-style upgrades (CoreOS?) that’s supported by the major VPS providers in default images. Tried a while back to get Hetzner to support CoreOS but the process appears somewhat stuck:
