Ansible 101 - Episode 3 - Introduction to Playbooks

[@diegonayalazo]

Asking the Lord to bless you and your family. Deeply grateful for your videos.

[@jayhopt]

I just want to point out (as well as thanking you for this series) that you mentioned hitting 7500 subs, and were aiming for 10K, hopefully when the pandemic ends. A year and a half later, we still have the pandemic, but you have definitely met your goal and then some, at 225K! Love your content, both the educational as well as the entertaining content!

[@cowardly_wizard]

308K just 5 months later than that. Chugging along

[@anonymousnyancat3231]

@@cowardly_wizard and 3 months after that, 356k! :)

[@cjennings]

and almost a year later -- just shy of $500K! Go Jeff!

[@dustinb7967]

These videos, coupled with the book, are a fantastic combination. Thank you, Jeff! Great series!

[@rxmas7234]

320k users - I'm proud to be a subscriber to all of your content. Thank for all you do. I've learned a LOT from you.

[@Handled-x2n]

happy new year sir, after buying a super 6c, due watching one of ur videos at 3am, I am here finding your videos super useful learning ansible and k8s 🙌.

[@JeffGeerling]

Haha you have to be careful what you watch at 3 AM, lest you wind up with another cluster!

[@Handled-x2n]

@JeffGeerling i nearly bought an old epyc with mobo a couple nights back.... Thank god the super 6c is still fresh, thankfully this time i just went to sleep 😂.

[@girsnoopy]

Jeff I bought your book and have been following along with your videos. I never comment, but just wanted to say your videos and books are top notch. Keep up the good work, and keep making videos!

[@daviddunkelheit9952]

I never comment, but…😂 I never edit either comments or am oxymoronic or paradoxical 😅…ever!

[@angelgutierrez240]

who could actually dislike these type of videos? I mean these videos are very good and very educational as well!

[@martinmusli3044]

New Year, 2021, your stuff is still relevant to me :) Keep it up

[@xaviertich]

Thanks!

[@mathewkargarzadeh3158]

Thanks Jeff !!. appreciate your time posting this. you are the Man !!

[@elements88xyz]

the fact that you mention you know how to "google" got me. well done, thank you for the fantastic content.

[@amichubby1]

Awesome sharing. We will support you from Singapore.

[@dlringor]

Thank you for the many lessons Jeff! I'm from the Philippines.

[@only1gameguru]

This is so useful, I ended up buying the DevOPs book. Great advertising.

[@mauromosczynski5325]

Congratulations for this excellent presentation.

[@StormWolf01]

Great tutorial, thanks a lot. To anyone who doesn't have access to an EC2 instance, just just launch a VM with vagrant, as shown in the previous tutorial, and have the ansible playbook executed on that VM. This seems pretty obvious, but it took me 10 minutes to realize.

[@petergebirgslok6922]

For those, who are trying this in Ubuntu / Debian: The Playbook looks like this. tasks: - name: Install Apache apt: name: - apache2 state: present - name: Copy Config File copy: src: "{{ item.src }}" dest: "{{ item.dest }}" owner: root group: root mode: 0644 with_items: - src: apache2.conf dest: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf - src: site1.conf dest: /etc/apache2/sites-available/site1.conf - name: Ensure Apache is started service: name: apache2.service state: started enabled: true

[@daviddunkelheit9952]

Good stuff I am working on my capstone project during this pandemic to build a homelab/studio/cyberrange Using my on-premise bare-metal gear. I am tracking this series to reinforce some things to work with myself.

[@naimarshad]

Hi Jeff, Thanks for putting some nice work up here. I really appreciate it, it could really benefit me in many wayas.

[@antuelle78]

Great work Jeff, even if I already do lots of advanced things with Ansible and AWX, this is still helpful. Keep it up.

[@JeanFrancoCaringi]

greetings from mexico! thanks for your videos!

[@Brac10]

Great job Jeff. Little Mermaid story brought back memories with my Daughter back in the day !!

[@domemvs]

Watching this as he has 118k subs. Awesome! Well deserved!

[@calvintittle]

192k right now. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@daviddunkelheit9952]

You must’ve had experience with old army radios. We had squelch knob that would reduce what was heard or amplified for operator to hear. Turn it up and you only get the strongest signals with least noise. Turn it down and you can hear weak radio broadcasts.

[@gauravpandey7607]

Great work Jeff, thanks for the lessons. 😊

[@williamcrowell2432]

Really great session Jeff.

[@HankBarta]

Beautiful Sunny Winfield (IL) Thanks! (Not watching live.)

[@pmirji02]

awesome tutorial...thank you for doing this

[@Ollital]

Running "date" as adhoc command helped me to identify the raspis where timezone was not correctly set.

[@GrahamAtDesk]

Great series Jeff, thanks!

[@daviddunkelheit9952]

How do you know that term squelch that’s awesome 👏 40:02

[@blazerizor]

Hey man, you rock!

[@razahuss02]

at the 37:00 mark why did you use a "-" by the second command argument but not the first?

[@knight024]

Yes I'm wondering the same thing

[@simonsummermatter3527]

The post with the link doesn't seem to work. You find the article with the title: "Running Virtual Machines Under Vagrant on the New Mac M1"

[@packetshark]

Just bought your book from Amazon.

[@KillroyWasHere86]

My professor for Linux101 let us use google and man on our test. He said he was not expecting us to memorize anything only how to find the help you need. The rest will fall into place later.

[@AlyWhits]

Question: what theme/settings are you using in Sublime? I like how your space is highlighted when typing your code. I think getting the yaml syntax with the correct spacing is the most difficult part of using Ansible! :)

[@JeffGeerling]

My Sublime settings are all stored in this repo: github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook/tree/master/files/sublime/Library/Packages/User Specifically, I have set `"draw_white_space": "selection"` and also have the 'Trailing Spaces' plugin installed. Both are extremely helpful when writing YAML!

[@braykov]

Hey, you are doing an amazing job. This is the perfect companion to your book, which I just bought and started reading a month ago. I only have a small request. For the next sessions, could you keep the terminal window just a bit higher (at least the bottom edge)? I am pausing to read your command line and youtube's progress bar is coming just above the prompt :-)

[@JeffGeerling]

Oh, excellent point! I always forget that the bottom 10% of the screen or so should be off limits, and know exactly what you mean. I'll try to remember to do this for future episodes.

[@georgelza]

you just mentioned something, for some reason I thought vagrant only executed against VBox, you saying it can also work against something like VMWare Fusion ? ... having to look at alternate VM platform due to planned MBP upgrade and VBox at the moment not looking like it has a Apple future.

[@JeffGeerling]

yes, Fusion or Parallels can work with vagrant too, though I haven't spent much time on them with M1 yet to know how compatible everything is.

[@dajiru1976]

Thanks sensei

[@anthonyrussano]

Thank you x100000000 Jeff

[@dilan7112]

Thanks so much for these!

[@fmsilva11]

how to create playbooks to automate oracle database tasks ?

[@simonsummermatter3527]

Hi Jeff. Love your content. I found the approach from James Cundle on Medium to solve the problem "missing virtualbox on Apple Silicon". I will paste the Link in a following comment (KZbin usually hinders me to post links). Does anyone has a better solution?

[@careernerd]

Hi! These are fun...

[@JeffGeerling]

Haha, thanks! It's something to take my mind of being cooped up at home all these weeks :)

please, make a t-shirt saying "i don't know when the stream ends - it will probably cut me mid-sentence" lol

[@JeffGeerling]

Haha, I found a better way-I now have an 'end slide' I switch to before I end the stream in KZbin's UI, so I can make sure it doesn't just cut me off entirely :D Too bad I can't fix up all these older streams though!

[@jamallmahmoudi9481]

Thanks a lot .....

[@MrBrownpotato]

I feel the terms "playbook", "play" and "task" are not the best choice for something that is supposed to describe desired state

[@daviddunkelheit9952]

Sure but sometimes someone settled somewhere similar semantic space surely a singularity of concordances

[@DerKlappspaten]

"If I hit 10.000 before this pandemic thing is over..." It's almost 2022, you're at 250.000, and the pandemic ist STILL not over!

[@manazil-5104]

[@computerfreakch8912]

So the British say "Add hawk come end"?

[@minecraftchest1]

I don't like YAML because it makes you use spaces.

[@xaviertich]

Thanks!
