webhook VS Ansible

Try this awesome tool https://github.com/adnanh/webhook and you can make any bot you wish

Something like this: https://github.com/adnanh/webhook for a low code solution. This is the just the top hit, there tons of “Linux WebHook receivers” out there. Container A has the WebHook config to run ffmpeg. Container B runs curl to trigger the WebHook. Can be instrumented with fairly simple shell script.

If all you need is a Webhook trigger, you might want to take a look at https://github.com/adnanh/webhook

I thought this is for receiving webhooks at first glance, like another alternative for node-red, n8n.io, and adnanh/webhook.

you can register a webhook on github and listen to it from your second pc using https://github.com/adnanh/webhook

I occasionally trigger playbooks using this simple go project https://github.com/adnanh/webhook.

You can do a hell of a lot with webhooks, a bit of scripting and, err, webhook.

I use https://github.com/adnanh/webhook to deploy the changes in the git repository to the server and have it run docker compose up -d. I actually just modified it this week to run the docker commands in a background queue using https://vicerveza.homeunix.net/~viric/soft/ts/ (commands are added to a queue and run in the order they were added, useful for long-running commands) this way webhook can reply that the git repository was updated on the server and the docker compose command was added to the task queue and webhook doesn't timeout.

Ansible v2.16

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.

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/...

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

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)

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.
