• Failed to connect to the host via SSH on Ubuntu 22.04

  If you have just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and you suddenly experience either errors when trying to ssh into hosts, or when running ansible or again when running the ansible provisioner building a packer image, this is probably going to be useful for you. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Create a minimalist OS using Docker Containers and Hashicorp Packer

  I am already using Hashicorp Packer at work and for personal projects and I wanted to test This idea out by wrapping it a single Packer Template file. This reduces the level of maintaining a lot of small scripts, Dockerfiles and configurations and the user can simply trigger a couple of Commands to get a minimalist OS at the end of the process. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.

  And while it is a slight increase in complexity, it can be an overall net gain in functionality, configurability and reliability. Much like Packer is far more reliable and practical than manually making VM images sitting in front of a terminal, even though making the initial configuration takes some time.

• Customized Ubuntu Images using Packer + QEMU + Cloud-Init & UEFI bootloading

  Hashicorp Packer provides a nice wrapper / abstraction over the QEMU in order to boot the image and use it to set it up on first-boot. Instead of writing really long commands in order to boot up the image using QEMU, Packer provided a nice Configuration Template in a more Readable fashion. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• The journey of sharing a wired USB printer over the network

  Packer seemed like the perfect tool for the job. I have never used it before and wanted to get familiar with the tool. It doesn't come with ARM support out of the box, but there are two community projects to fill that niche. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Horizontally scaling Kafka consumers with rendezvous hashing

  We could have made some changes at the librdkafka level (see this), but we didn’t really want to pursue this (at least not yet). - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Getting sum type values from a map

  As my first "real world" (ish) project in Vlang, I'm trying to copy https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go, which is a Go wrapper for Kafka C client library, https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka. Source: over 1 year ago

• Installing node-rdkafka on M1 for use with SASL

  If you're using Kafka in a Node.js app, it's likely that you'll need node-rdkafka. This is a library that wraps the librdkafka library and makes it available in Node.js. According to the project's README, "All the complexity of balancing writes across partitions and managing (possibly ever-changing) brokers should be encapsulated in the library.". - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Fix it, Fork it, Fuck off

  You are right, but in practice that's not what happens. Companies do not rely on open source libraries, the developers working for such companies do. I can give you a realistic example. If you want to use Kafka and Go, your probably only option is to use https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go. Its LICENSE explicitly says "no warranty". Now, what if I find a bug in the library? Only two realistic... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
