Awesome, simplicity in explanation, in depth knowledge.... Just wanted to know how u are setting indentation marker with vim... Thanks

[@zachlemley2174]

I am sure a lot has changed since the creation of this video: but re-creating it now there seems to be an encryption issue where ansible is looking for passlib?

Hello, Tux. Thank you for this interesting lesson. Can you please advise me how to set up the hilighting syntax in Vim as it has done on the video?

[@artyomv.3220]

@Domy many thanks

[@theurbanpenguin]

As @domy says the earlier videos in the Ansible playlist show this. My .vimrc setting are as one line: autocmd FileType yaml setlocal ai et cuc cul ts=2 sw=2 The cuc highlights the cursor current column and is really useful where the indent level important such as YAML and Python

I used the box centos/7 and it prompted for pass. The default didn't work.

Hello Andrew :) Can you recommend any course for RHCSA 8? I got LFCS, but now time for RHCSA.

[@theurbanpenguin]

If you still have your Pluralsight subscription the rHCSA 8 track has started there are 4 courses so far. 3 recent, this year, and the podman course from last year

[@pawecyrklaf4729]

@@theurbanpenguin Thank you for your answer. I have to look because I found only your LFCS/RHCSA course under Centos 7
