An example with an oneshot service on systemd. #systemd #systemd.service #oneshot

README

Services declared as oneshot are expected to take some action and exit immediatelly (thus, they are not really services, no running processes remain). A common pattern for these type of service is to be defined by a setup and a teardown action.

Let's create a example foo service that when started creates a file, and when stopped it deletes it.

Define setup/teardown actions

Create executable file /opt/foo/setup-foo.sh:

Automation For The People

Automation for the People

Long ago, the first time I read "The Pragmatic Programmer", I read some advice that really stuck with me.

"Don't Use Manual Procedures".

This in the chapter on Ubiquitous Automation. To summarize, they want you to automate all the things.

The trouble was that I hadn't much of an idea how to actually go

KMS Encrypt and Decrypt filters in Ansible

KMS Encrypt and Decrypt Filters for Ansible

This Gist shows how you can encrypt/decrypt variables with KMS during your Ansible playbook execution. While google searching I couldn't find anything useful on the subject.

Let's say your project has a folder of playbooks called plays.

In that folder, create a folder called filter_plugins and insert kms_filters.py (included in this gist)
