What are some good LTS distros that are preferably not Debian based
Use nala instead: https://gitlab.com/volian/nala

Finally switched to normal debian after maining kali like a dumbass for months
Try switching to Nala for your apt front end. Way better experience.

Creating an Ubuntu post install script
I do like Nala front-end for "apt". I'm new to it, but it would likely be at the top of my script.

How to change the repo from local one
You can use nala and do a sudo nala fetch command to find the fastest repo servers.

Your default post-install packages
You’d need to be on testing or sid for nala. It’s also available from the website and you can install with dpkg.

Yep.. I'm dumping APT for Nala.
Nala is available on Stable, but you have to use our repositories as specified in our installation instructions https://gitlab.com/volian/nala/-/wikis/Installation.
- do you use Nala package manager??
-
Did not finish, yet!?
nala says hello.

apt post transaction actions
I know that Nala has support for this, but it's one of the lesser used features so there could be some bugs present. https://gitlab.com/volian/nala

Package manager GUI...
idk anything like this, but you can use Nala, to make apt looks better. :)

Ansible Basics: Your First HelloWorld Playbook 🚀
Ansible is an open-source IT automation tool that simplifies application deployment, cloud provisioning, and configuration management across diverse environments. It uses a declarative language to describe the desired state of the system, and then takes the necessary actions to achieve that state. Ansible has become incredibly popular due to its simplicity, agentless architecture, and extensive community support. Document: ansible.com, ansible basics

Set up an Automation script with Ansible
Ansible is a tool used to help manage software automation processes, configuration management across machines, deployment as well as remote execution of commands and scripts. In sports, Ansible operates as the coach of your team by providing strategies (playbooks), and actions, and ensuring the smooth execution of tasks across your infrastructure, just like a coach guides and directs players (Servers)during a game.

Interesting Uses of Ansible's ternary filter
They support for-if from python, too: https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/templates/#loop-f... but I haven't tried the "recursive" keyword to know if ansible supports that. I say "ansible supports that" because they don't just drop jinja2 into ansible and call it a draw, they have a bunch of custom execution integrations: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.16.3/lib/ansible/...

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
To manage a VM, you can use something as simple as just manual actions over SSH, or can use tools like Ansible, Hashicorp's Packer and Terraform or other automations. For an app where there is minimal load and security/reliability concern, VMs are still a great option that provide a lot of value for the buck

A Journey to Find an Ultimate Development Environment
In this article's context, it is simply a tool that provides a declarative way to automate your machine/OS to configure the development machine as you want (install package, modify the configuration, etc). Examples of these tools are Ansible, Puppet, etc.

Now we're getting more tangential, but for years, Ansible releases were named for Van Halen songs (see old Changelog here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v1.8.4/CHANGELOG.md)

Running stateful workloads on Kubernetes with Rook Ceph
In the lab to follow, we'll quickly provision a 3-node kubeadm cluster (1 master, 2 workers) on the cloud provider of your choice using an automation stack comprised of OpenTofu and Ansible, then deploy Rook Ceph using the official Helm charts and confirm that we are now able to successfully create CSI volume snapshots from PVCs by reusing the MinIO example from our last article.
