lordievaderGood morning06:50
Neo4I need a list of needed apps for frash ubuntu installation10:45
Neo4I'm going to reinstall ubuntu and next time don't want to do installation manually.10:46
Neo4installation over ubuntu software takes long time, it's not efficient :)10:47
Neo4much better over shell script10:47
Neo4I did this script and reinstall ubuntu, want to remove dualap and put home to separated disk ,now it together with OS10:58
RoyKdpkg --get-selections > pkglist.txt10:59
RoyKthen dpkg --set-selections < pkglist.txt on the new machine10:59
RoyKthen apt-get install -f # IIRC11:00
RoyKobviously you'll have to store the file somewhere safe during reinstallation11:00
Neo4and need put to .vimrc and .bashrc your own settings too11:02
Neo4this automatization has many details11:02
RoyKNeo4: better use ansible11:02
RoyKthen you have it for later too11:03
Neo4RoyK: no, this is easy echo "needed setting" tee -a $HOME/.vimrc11:03
RoyKit's easier to use ansible with "blockinfile" to do that stuff11:03
RoyKor lineinfile11:03
RoyKansible is really neat11:04
RoyKI've used to roll out some 20 raspberry pi machines as infoscreens11:04
Neo4RoyK: I will have two separated scripts one for desktop, desktop_install and one for vps vps_install? or might better put all in one? This will bloated menu11:04
lordievaderOr use puppet, or some other automation tool. Anything is better than a bunch of scripts.11:20
RoyKlordievader: not to start a holy war, but I prefer ansible :)12:47
lordievaderNever tried ansible. puppet+foreman works here.12:48
blackflowSaltStack ftw! ;)12:52
blackflowThe attraction of ansible is that it's very simple, no need to install nodes/minions/clients, works over ssh and is simplistic enough even for managing a single host with some declarative config.12:53
RoyKthat's probably why I like ansible ;)12:57
ikoniait struggles with windows though13:00
ikoniawinrm....wow13:00
ikoniablackflow: do you have a large saltstack deployment estate ?13:01
ikoniaI'm yet to really get experience on a large scale salt deployment so I"m a bit on the fence about it13:01
blackflowikonia: nah, a dozen or so servers.13:01
ikoniayeah, I'd like to see the "few hundred" scale minimum13:02
blackflowikonia: but eh, the only reason we're using saltstack and not ansible, is the "reactor" functionality, where nodes can trigger events on other nodes.13:02
ikoniablackflow: thats one of the things I'd like to see at scale for dynamic cloud type operations13:02
blackflowotherwise for such a small deployment we'd probably have stayed on ansible.13:02
blackflowikonia: from what I've read and heard, it scales well.13:03
ikoniahands on understanding though is priceless13:03
blackflowoh definitely.13:03
sonu_nkhi i am facing this issue on linode "Network Helper did not run: could not determine distribution or distribution version   " suddenly all stopped...16:31
ikoniasonu_nk: what distro are you running ?16:58
sonu_nkcentos 717:07
ikoniasonu_nk: then why are you asking in an ubuntu channel17:07
sonu_nki am asking if anyone knows this error "Network Helper did not run: could not determine distribution or distribution version"17:08
ikoniathis channel supports ubuntu17:08
ikonianot centos problems17:08
