(incomplete)

This question comes up often here. As a Windows systems engineer that transitioned into a "DevOps" systems engineer (this is a very contentious title, but "systems engineer that IS DevOps" doesn't have the same ring to it) over about a year, I'd like to start a living FAQ/guide on how to get into this game.

I'm also posting it on Gist [here](https://gist.github.com/carlosonunez/83312c12f884444620a495ef60882945). I presume that I'll update that one more frequently.

# Materials Required

* A healthy love for learning (DevOps is very young and is evolving almost daily)
* Patience with being the "dumb guy in the room"

ympd on the Raspberry Pi

Due to its small size, ympd is well-suited to run on the Raspberry Pi. Installing it is pretty straightforward:

git clone https://github.com/notandy/ympd.git
cd ympd/
sudo apt-get install cmake libmpdclient-dev
mkdir build
cd build

The file page.st goes in the templates/ directory in the Gitit wiki home directory. You'll put the Ace JavaScript and CSS files in static/.

Grab ffmpeg from https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

It's a command line tool which means you will have to type things with your keyboard instead of clicking on buttons.

The most trivial operation would be converting gifs:

ffmpeg -i your_gif.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 12 -b:v 500K output.webm

• -crf values can go from 4 to 63. Lower values mean better quality.
• -b:v is the maximum allowed bitrate. Higher means better quality.
