ISPConfig with remote dockerized webservers

I use IspConfig for managing some webservers and its great, I have some servers that are running PHP/Nginx in a docker compose environment but I would like to be able to remotely control and configure them using something like ISPConfig, anyone know of anything out there that is capable of this ?

Gitlab AutoDevops: TLS handshake error

Hi guys,

Following this guide https://rancher.com/blog/2019/connecting-gitlab-autodevops-authorized-cluster-endpoints/ ; we integrated k8s cluster into GitLab, installed Helm & Gitlab Runner and they are running fine in a cluster. Created a project with Dockerfile in a root folder of the project. Enabled AutoDevops and ran pipeline. Build is failed https://prnt.sc/qlrwop with TLS handshake error, which seems like it cannot talk to the Internet and pull the dotnet image from DockerHub. Any suggestions/help on that?

Thank you

I need to run test cases and generate code-coverage on Teamcity dashboard.  Does it require any additional step to be performed to get "Test" and "Code coverage" tabs to see the test results? #teamcity #continuous-integration

Any hosted SSH key managers that your trust?

I'm trying to get a grasp on all the ssh keys that are floating around but I don't want to add another internal service (like Vault) to maintain. Is there any hosted ssh key managers that you use? If not what would be holding you back from using them?

How common is it to get a signing bonus as a DevOps Engineer? If you get a job in the SF Bay area, do they help with relocation as well? If not, is it okay to ask if they do?

How to effectively monitor and respond to events in Openshift?

Hi

I got challenge to project dashboards or another solution where support the support team will see when there is a problem with application and where will be some place where in where in case of failure immediately they can see point of failure and incident response path. In small company with traditional java apps we can use nagios and check status of servers and load, ram, cpu and is java process. But now it will be something different that will be around 60 namespaces with around 30 microservices in one namespace. So I think that integration with nagios isn't good because this is changing enviroment and there will be many false postives.

We thought about Grafana. One main dashboard with all namespaces and there will be some value that will determine whether the namespace is working properly and then when we click on this tile with the name of namespace then we will see all tiles with microservices in this namespace and then when we again click on tile with name of microserivice some information what happens with each microservice (ram, cpu, requirements etc.). But that make problem that we will have a lot of dashboards in Grafana, a lot of clicking, a lot of queries to influxdb and prometheus and I'm not sure that isn't it too aggravating. For example 60 namespaces with 30 microservices it is 1800+dashboards in Grafana only for applications in private cloud. So maybe its always go into openshift and see whats going on. I don't know. I don't have too much expirience with this system. Maybe someone know how big companies monitor microservices and how they respond to failures? They have kibana with elasticsearch too.

I've tried everything, but I still can't prevent servers from kicking me out of SSH session

I have tried to login via OpenSSH (windows 10 peasant). Got inside my ec2. Then kicked out after 2-4 minutes. I've edited various KeepAlive settings into every ssh\_config file I could find on my machine. Didn't work.

I tried using mobaXterm. Kicked out. I edited the SSH to "keep alive" on the settings. Still kicked out. I scrounged the web for mobaXterm timeouts even after enabling the keepalive and what i've found is to connect via SCP. Didn't work.

I am really at the end of my wits here guys. Neither hard configuration on the native OpenSSH client, or GUI configs through clients like mobaXterm work. I know I can config the keepalive in the server, but A) too much of a linux newb to pull it off in the 2 minute time window the SSH gives me B) it's bad practice anyways.

What should I do?

P.S: I am being kicked out from ec2 AWS and DO droplets if that matters. I don't use passwords - only private keys.

What better DevOps tooling would you like to have?

Hi, I am one of the founders of Commandeer. We are currently building out our IAC tooling. It let's you run command line services like Ansible, Serverless, Docker and Terraform from a desktop app. On the left hand-side is your playbook.yml, serverless.yml etc, and on the right is the conole output. I'd love to get some input as to what tooling you would love to see built in as we are tackling this right now. We are planning on integrating [Circle.ci](https://Circle.ci), Azure Pipelines, and Jenkins as well. The tools let's you deploy to AWS or to LocalStack.

Need Advice: Buildtime vs Runtime Debate

I need advice on buildtime vs runtime config management. We are configuring our Bamboo Agents as code with Packer and Ansible to build an AMI image. I have a developer who has written several bash scripts which essentially look at aws tag metadata and update bamboo config (such as what bamboo server it points to, pulling for changes to a bash script repo and pulling latest versions). So he puts some of these scripts on the image at build time which allows for runtime updates/changes. However there is some conflicting ansible code that installs the agent that needs a build time variable defined to point to a certain bamboo server. If we continue down that path it would lead to 1 AMI per enhancement. So my question is, what's best practice here? 1 AMI for any environment. This doesnt allow us to do local test/development of our ansible code. Or AMI per environment? That would require building several more bash scripts and smart logic there. I personally lean to 1 AMI per environment because I want an immutable image and not have tons of bash scripts but I also see the argument for 1 AMI.

Looking for a new CI/CD platform with UI similar to Concourse.

I have been using the tool [concourse](https://concourse-ci.org/) for a few years and I am now exploring new job opportunities to start fresh with a brand new CI/CD platform. One thing I really love about concourse is its UI ([here's an example from their website)](https://concourse-ci.org/examples.html).

* It's very visual and easy to dive into individual resources, jobs, tasks, tabs, etc.
* It shows what resrouces and jobs connect to other resources and jobs.
* The url's are all human-readable and can very easily be inserted into scripts without having to lookup complex UUIDs.

I've been trying out some other SAAS CI/CD tools like Gitlab and CircleCI, but their dashboards are not quite what I'm used to (at least from what I have found so far). What are some CI/CD tools in widespread use today that have a visual map showing pipelines?

Edit: I'm also looking for one that makes it easy to create multiple pipelines from the same repository.

Auto-registering K3OS to Rancher help...

Hey all! Looking for some help with a cloud-init script I'm working with. The end goal is to have a K3OS cluster that self-registers to a Rancher instance on boot. I've got the basic framework spun up, but I'm having trouble figuring out the `cURL` script. The idea is that the `k3s-init.yaml` script will:


* curl `call-rancher.yaml`
* put them into k3s `/manifest` folder
* automatically apply all manifests in the `/manifest` directory on start

Secondly, the `call-rancher.yaml` script is supposed to call a remote rancher and do the token dance to auth with Rancher.

Here are the gists:

Windows build server recommendations

Hi. I'm a web dev primarily but I'm working on a large C++ project at home and would like some recommendations for setting up a build server.

My personal PC doesn't have great specs, compiling the project takes a bit time (1 hour+) and my PC isn't really usable during the process. So I was thinking I might set up a basic EC2 instance to use to build the application and Jenkins to execute a pipeline for this (downloading/compiling/storing the artifacts).


I would rather not spend much money on this as it is for a hobby project, would a basic EC2 instance be able to handle this? Anything else I should consider? Is Jenkins a good choice or any better suggestions maybe?


Thanks.

This connection is Not Private

I recently signed with pre-made Wordpress droplet on DigitalOcean. I set everything up with www when it prompted me.

But now when I try to load up the website I am getting an error. I tried typing the name with and without www

I am using letsencrypt SSL for which I used the option with www

​

Any ideas how I can solve this? Could it be because Nameserver has not propagated completely yet? Do I need to do some URL redirect? Any feedback on this is appreciated.

Thank you

Maybe You Don't Need Kubernetes

As 2019 has gone by, [this article](https://endler.dev/2019/maybe-you-dont-need-kubernetes/) is one that stands out when i think back. I see lots of posts here from people wanting to learn the new buzz, but IMHO, a far more valuable trait is the ability to find the right tool for the job.

This becomes increasing important if you work (or want to work) at a small/medium sized company where you truly have the potential to influence the company's outcome. Chances are, that in a larger organization, you might be more valuable for being nose deep in k8s - and if you enjoy this - good for you!

The takeaway from the article is more or less: don't use Kubernetes just because everybody else does. Carefully evaluate your requirements and check which tool fits the bill.
