    Happy new year folks! This tool was born out of a situation where I had 'inherited' a bunch of servers that were not under any form of config management. Oh, the horror... Enroll 'harvests' system information such as what packages are installed, what services are running, what files have 'differed' from their out-of-the-box defaults, and what other custom snowflake data might exist. The harvest state data can be kept as its own sort of SBOM, but also can be converted in a mere second or two into fully-functional Ansible roles/playbooks/inventory. It can be run remotely over SSH or…

    Hello everyone, Dipesh and Siddarth here. We are building PlayBooks (https://github.com/DrDroidLab/playbooks), an open source tool to write executable notebooks for on-call investigations / remediations instead of Google Docs or Wikis. There’s a demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e-wOtIm1gk, and our docs are here: https://docs.drdroid.io/docs/playbooks We were in YC’s W23 batch working on a data lakehouse with support for dynamic log schemas. Eventually we realized it was a product in search of a market and decided to…

    I just released the first stable version of a new tool called "Spot" (also known as simplotask). As someone who has had to deal with the frustration of broken Ansible dependencies and the endless googling required to add even the most trivial elements to playbooks, I decided to create a tool that simplifies these tasks. That's how Spot was born - a simple yet flexible tool for automating deployment tasks.

    Hey HN, long time lurker here. I humbly present ara which is a project I created back at Red Hat in 2016 (before AWX was open source) to make my life easier working with distributed and large scale Ansible playbooks. It is designed to be simple and compatible with however you're already running Ansible today without needing to change much of your existing workflows. My time and skills are limited but I have learned a lot and I am happy with how the project has steadily improved over the years with the much appreciated help of contributors. If you'd like to read more about the project, the…
