An experimental, refreshing webserver.

Just drop the stuff here for anyone who desperatly needs a simple web server.

S/O to #nginxunit who built a solid ground for this
light webserver with critical modern features:

- Split configuration in multiple short toml files 😱

- Automatic Ssl certificate (no need to think about it) 😏

Openssh vulnerability, can't find a RHEL 9 rpm. Do i need to just make one?

I'm new to dealing with situations like this. I have a bunch of RHEL 9 VMs that need the patched 9.8 version of openssh. I am used to just running dnf check-upgrade to see when new versions of packages are available. But there are no updates showing as available and I can't even find an openssh 9.8 rpm for RHEL 9 just searching out on the internet. How do urgent patches like this normally go? Do I wait for an rpm to be made available via official sources or do I need to figure out how to compile one myself?

Docker course recommendation- 2024

Hi

I'm a python developer with aws cloud knowledge.

I got an opportunity to work as cloud engineer with more devops and less development.

This is an internal switch and my lead asked to get a grip on docker first and gradually move to k8s ( aws eks ) and others

Need your help in suggesting a udemy course for docker in 2024.

I have kodekloud subscription also. Kindly share a course link that covers everything related to docker.

TIA

Looking for advice of coaching staff

I’m a team leader of small group containing no more than 10 people. We had a new member joining team 3 months ago , who was just graduated.

I assigned multiple tasks for him, and none of them worked very well, he worked pretty slowly and seems to be very hard to understand my intention. I’m kind of frustrated coaching him, so I want you guys suggestion. I’ll introduce the tasks I assigned and what I saw.

Task 1: Upgrade grafana from 9.3 to 11.0

So I was imagining just backup data, edit image tag and done.

But actually he went to looking at the database difference between the two versions, trying to upgrade grafana and import the old database, hoping this would work.

Task 2: develop cloud controller manager, sync k8s tag to cloud provider

Cloud controller is an event handler for k8s resources, it listens changes of k8s manifest and do some change on cloud provider, so the simplest solution is on every change, sync the tags.

The problem is that the code he gives has no code reuse, say the resource would be created or updated, both would trigger a tag sync, the basic logic is identical but he did not reuse. He claims that the error handling is different so cannot be reused, but it’s written in Go and certainly we can create a function named sync_tag and return error if anything goes wrong wrong, call it in handlers , check the error and then handle the error gracefully.

Even after I told him the way to do that, it still took him half a day to implement it.


Task 3: replace ntp server and client from ntpd to chronyd

This task is quite straightforward, and he did it ok, writing puppet module, test.

But he cannot troubleshoot network issue, we had a few vm that has limited network access, on those machine time sync would fail, he did not find any way to troubleshoot network issue, at last I told him it might be iptables issue and finally he found it and fixed the issue.

So this is the experience of me coaching other staff, do you think there’s anything I can do to be a better coach?

Github Actions fails to find UnitTest.csproj

I'm currently trying to set up a GitHub actions such that when a PR is made to the developing branch, a series unit test runs on the PR. This is a dotnet application, and here is the dot.yml:

name: .NET


on:
push:
branches: [ "developing" ]
pull_request:
branches: [ "developing" ]


jobs:
build:


runs-on: windows-latest


steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Setup .NET
uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v4
with:
dotnet-version: 8.0.x
- name: Restore dependencies
run: dotnet restore
- name: Build
run: dotnet build --no-restore
- name: Test
run: dotnet test --no-build --verbosity normal

Here is how the project is structured: [https://imgur.com/a/EW7YnoG](https://imgur.com/a/EW7YnoG)


When I test out the actions it fails, and I get the following message:

Run dotnet restore

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\8.0.302\NuGet.targets(414,5): error MSB3202: The project file "D:\a\project\UnitTest\UnitTest.csproj" was not found. [D:\a\project\project\project.sln]

Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

I'm not sure how to resolve this, the UnitTest folder is in the project, and it is only in the developing branch, it is not in the Main branch. I have tried adding `run: dotnet restore CBAS/` but that didn't help. Searching online for solution told me that the file name could be too long, but I don't think that's the case with my project. When I run `dotnet restore` locally everything works. Any idea what I should do?

What can you do as a devops to help implement SOC2?

Have you ever been asked to make all the changes necessary to implement SOC2? I read about it and it doesn't seem like something developers or devops can do much about. The only thing I can think of is detecting vulnerabilities, creating unit and integration tests and that's it.

How to store the value of a secret?

How are one off secrets actual values securely stored in IaC or how is everyone handling secrets and their values?

Normally for generated secrets you can use this example

resource "randompassword" "dbpassword" {
length = 16
special = true
}

resource "vaultgenericsecret" "dbpassword" {
path = "secret/dbpassword"

data = {
password = randompassword.dbpassword.result
}
}


But lets say there is a backup admin password that isn't automatically generated via IaC, maybe for a local app the team created.

Tried searching for this answer, no luck

Just surpassed 1,000 applications. Results: 2 interviews, 0 follow-ups. Where do I go from here?

I've been applying to relevant jobs in my country (non-US) and to any possible remote jobs abroad. And by relevant jobs, I mean I filter LinkedIn using keywords and boolean expressions so the jobs are catered to my skillset. Here are my results.

I really don't know what to do anymore. Am I lacking something as an entry-level applicant in this job market? Is there a particular set of skills that may boost my profile? I'm currently learning Kubernetes, but I don't know if that will change anything job-wise. I don't want to list it on my resume yet until I feel I could pass the CKA exam, so that may take a while. Is there something else worth learning that is easy to pick up on and may help garner the interest of a recruiter or get past the ATS system? (and speaking of ATS, in case you're wondering, I made sure my resume is parseable)

I would have done a master's abroad by now just to get access to another country's job market, but because of inflation, my local currency savings basically cut in half in the last year or so, meaning I only have $5k to my name, just about enough to feed myself and get by for the time being.

Career progression

I've been stumped on what my career progression should look like to eventually reach a position in DevSecOps.

3yrs Help Desk
~6 yrs (Networking) (Army)
CompTIA Security+
AAS in Network Administration
BSc in Cyber Security (graduating early 2025)

I am currently in the military as a 25H (Network systems specialist) and I have one year left on my contract. I've been self-learning Python in my free time and will start my journey getting AWS certs. (Cloud pract. > Cloud Dev > DevOps Eng > Sec spec.)

I also thought about picking up the LPIC 1&2 certs (later on LPIC 3 Security). I do have a decent amount of experience in Linux.

My main question is what do I do for experience, work-wise? Should I start with a Linux Administrator or Cloud Engineer position then pivot into DevOps then to DevSecOps? Or should I start on the Cyber Security side first? ie, SOC Analyst into Cloud Security Engineer then DevSecOps.

If anyone in the field can provide some insight to help me align my path, that would be great. I'm sure there isn't only one way to make it in, but given my starting point how would you continue.


I can apply for training at Microsoft before I get out. The MSSA program is for veterans. They have 3 options and I was going to choose the CAD option. Cloud Application Development

Concepts include application programming using C#, data structures and algorithms, developing client applications with .NET MAUI as well as cloud development using Azure.

Or should I choose the CSO option?
Cyber Security Operations.

Topics include Windows core server and security infrastructure, Microsoft Azure administration and Endpoint management, and security technologies and operations.

Small change delivery

I am researching options to deploy boto3 scripts in AWS and scripts in azure to make minor ec2/vm changes. Our customer environments are developed in TF. Unfortunately another team handles the template creation. We should be using TF to make these changes, but it's not an option. We use keycloak to authenticate and yubikey code to authenticate again.

One option is to create a gitlab pipeline to deploy all changes. I am trying to help improve the culture from "just getting into the console and make the change fast thinking."

What does everyone recommend to deploy scripts considering the authentication requirements?

How are you currently understanding your engineering output?

Hey Devs!

I am an engineering manager at a big tech company and am currently running a 30 person team. The problem here is that I often find it difficult to understand the engineering estimates and hence, actual output of my engineers. Daily stand-ups do not work as these are still estimates and I feel I have a bad control over my resources.

To all CTOs, Engineering Managers/leads, do you feel the same? How are you controlling and managing your teams and how effective has it been? Love to discuss!
