I'd recommend using OpenTofu (Terraform) for initial provisioning of VMs and then use Ansible for post-provisioning config & management. That way you're letting both tools play to their strengths.

Did you mean Netbox?

I've been wondering about this lately, as I'm unhappily employed but don't want Indeed to be the only place I window shop.

The challenge is, I'm not really sure what to look for in terms of "good" recruiters. Based on your recent experience, do you have any tips or advice you'd be willing to offer?

Well, yeah, thats why I'm saying if the action isn't available directly from Forgejo, just write out the full action URL like the example in my last comment and pull it directly from GitHub. Most/all of the actions you're pulling from Forgejo are originally forked from GitHub anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With both Gitea and Forgejo, sometimes you need to hardcode the action URL, like:

Skill issue.

I agree. Years back, when I was getting my CDL in the construction industry, my trainer recommended I get some overalls for comfort. I was in fairly good shape at the time, but man - the relief I felt from not having a belt digging into my gut while behind the wheel made it a lot easier to hop out of the cab and throw chain at a good pace, and I never had to worry about anything coming untucked. Was certainly a game changer.

Does docker, pypi, apt, ansible galaxy, etc. I use it at work as part of our undercloud for OpenStack. It's the go-to for StackHPC, too.

That's a fair take. The pricing model has changed dramatically since I last looked at it, but at the same time, the dev has obviously put a lot of thought into these changes, so I find it difficult to fault him. He's gotta make a living somehow.

In general, if someone has more than one Proxmox node to manage, chances are they've got some type of homelab, which isn't exactly the cheapest hobby out there to begin with. If XPipe enhances their experience, I'd say that's worth a few bucks. If not, they can always git gud in the terminal and do the legwork themselves, but time = $, so...

It's a free tool that is relevant to a lot of users in both of those communities, and because of the support from those communities, the author was able to pivot to working on xPipe full-time. That's no small feat for a solo dev, and I for one appreciate seeing these updates.

If you decided to devote all your time and energy to a project that was supposed to pay your bills, would you just sit and twiddle your thumbs thinking "if you build it, they will come"? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Solid choice. It's been my go-to DNS+DHCP solution for over 5 years and has never let me down. Also a fan of DNSDist+PowerDNS, but for most environments (especially home/lab), Technitium wins by a mile.

Not sure if it'd fit your use case 100%, but this has been a nice middle ground solution for LE certs in my lab: https://www.certwarden.com/
