Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps
Jayjader@jlai.lu 1 week agoI hesitate to bring this up because you’ve clearly already done most of the hard work, but I’m planning on attending the following conference talk this weekend that might be of interest to you: fosdem.org/…/VEQTLH-infrastructure-as-python/

No that’s totally fair! I’m a huge fan of making things reproducible since I’ve ran into too many situations where things need to be rebuilt, and always open to ways to improve it. At home I use ansible to configure everything, and at work we use ansible and declare our entire Jenkins instance as (real) code. I don’t have the time (and I’m low-key scared of the rabbit hole that is) Nix, and to me my homelab is something that is configured (idempotently) rather than something I wanted to handle with scripts.
I even wrote some
pytest-like scripts to test the playbooks to give more productive errors than their example errors, since I too know that pain well :DThat said, I’ve never heard of PyInfra, and am definitely interested in learning more and checking out that talk. Do you know if the talk will be recorded? I’m not sure I can watch it live.
I love the “Warning: This talk may cause uncontrollable urges to refactor all your Ansible playbooks” lol I’m ready
