Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ansible Modules – How To Use Them Efficiently (Examples)
Next, we will go through an example of creating a custom module that takes as input a string that represents an epoch timestamp and converts it to its human-readable equivalent of type datetime in Python. You can find the code for this tutorial on this repository.

Ansible Roles: Basics & How to Combine Them With Playbooks
This is an example play to try out our new webserver role. Let’s go ahead and execute this play. To follow along, you should first run the vagrant up command from the top directory of this repository to create our target remote host.

Terraform Output Values : Complete Guide & Examples
Let’s examine how we can use all this in a real-world example. In this GitHub repository, we define the Terraform configuration for this example’s infrastructure. To follow along, you will need to install Terraform, have an AWS account ready, and authenticate with your AWS keys via the command line. Note that you might be charged a few dollars in your AWS account if you follow along.

How to Use Different Types of Ansible Variables(Examples)
If you are still learning how to use Ansible, you might also find helpful the introductory Ansible Tutorial or Working with Ansible Playbooks blog posts. You can find this article’s code on this repository if you wish to follow along.

Terraform Best Practices for Better Infrastructure Management
Our primary entry point is main.tf, and in simple use cases, we can add all our resources there. We define our variables in variables.tf and assign values to them in terraform.tfvars. We use the file outputs.tf to declare output values. You can find a similar example project structure here.

Software Company HashiCorp Is Weighing a Potential Sale
on the off chance one hasn't been tracking it, there were several "we don't need your stinking BuSL" projects when this drama first started:
https://github.com/opentofu#why-opentofu (Terraform)
https://github.com/openbao/openbao#readme (Vault)
and I know of several attempts at Vagrant <https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/forks> but I don't believe one of them has caught traction yet
There are also some who have talked about an "open Nomad" but since I don't play in that space I can't speak to it

Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
It sounds like you're using Nix as a sort of configuration management solution. CM just isn't worth it for managing a single desktop IMO. It triples the effort for whenever you need to add or remove a package, as you must now add that also to your nix configuration. You're supposed to be able to make that back up in time saved restoring to the next machine, but inevitably the next machine will be different enough that you'll have to edit it all anyway. In the end I just got tired of trying to manage my own machine with infrastructure as code (though in fairness I was using puppet at the time not nix).
I keep a git repository with all my dot files in it[1]. This seems to work the best. It has a Windows folder as well, and I copy that out whenever I need to set up Windows.
A lot of people like using WSL but I hate how it hogs on my memory. Hyper-V is a terrible virtualization engine for consumer-grade use cases because it can't thin provision RAM. If I need to use docker, I will spin up a small Linux VM using vagrant[3] with Virtualbox[4] and put Docker on there. Vagrant is an extremely underrated tool in my opinion, particularly in a Windows context.
I use scoop for packages. Typically I will scoop install msys2 and then pin it so that it doesn't get blown away by the next upgrade.
Then I basically do all of my development inside of msys2. I can get most things running in there without virtualization. In my case that means sbcl and roswell for common lisp, senpai for irc, and tmux and nvim for sanity. Msys2 uses the pacman package manager and this is good enough.
All In all, I set up my Windows machine affresh after a while of not using it and it took me about 3 hours. Most of that time was just getting through upgrades though, I felt like it was pretty fast.

A Developer's Journal: Simplifying the Twelve-Factor App
Tools like Docker and Vagrant can be used to allow local environments to mimic production environments.
- Is there any place where I can download an already configured Virtual machine? For example with Linux Ubuntu or Windows 10 preinstalled?

Codespaces but open-source, client-only, and unopinionated
https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/blob/v2.3.7/CHANGELOG.m... ?
The changelog lists both improvements and bug fixes and there's even apparently some effort to port it away from ruby: https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/blob/v2.3.7/internal/cl...

Best virtualization solution with Ubuntu 22.04
If you want an all around easy to use tool that can manager containers (create on the fly, delete when unnecessary, etc.) look into vagrant. There are also options like xen and virtualbox but they are not so lightweight. All of them are in ubuntu repositories.
