Yeah unless the dark theme is done well it's more annoying to me. I don't mind light/white websites. Code editors I turn on the dark theme by default but that's a little different.

this was defiantly a popcorn thread, cannot believe that was back in 2016.

Yeah definitely seems more recent than that.

@pete-s said in Automation with Ansible, Salt etc - at what point?:

Alright, if you guys says so I guess I better get around to it.
Ansible seems to be the least complicated to get started with so I guess that'll be as good as anything.

I have a lot of VM hosts and guest to set up as well as a way to do changes and keep everything updated and patched. So I might as well start with it from scratch.

Would it be very hard to dwrite something that could mount an iso using ipmi, power up the server over ipmi, install xenserver, set up networks and storages, then install a few different guest VMs with some different packages?

Ansible has a module that interfaces with iLO and boot from whatever you tell it to. Installing xenserver might be difficult (I've not tried that) but still my last job Ansible built the kickstart for each system and when we PXE booted the boxes were kick-started and Ansible built the rest.

@black3dynamite said in Automation with Ansible, Salt etc - at what point?:

Even with one client or server, I'll still use Salt or Ansible.

I agree. I'd use it even with only one.

Works for me:

My first was a Tandy 2000.

@aaronstuder said in Pritunl Zero:

My understanding is that a user visits a webpage, logs in, and they are able to reach internal web services.

At least that's what I am getting by looking at this:

You can use it for SSH as well, too.

So it's a secure proxy with a landing page? Interesting. If you could tie 2FA into this I think that could an interesting tool.

I don't believe that's what this is. From their guide it sounds like this works similarly to Vault. Instead of pushing out individual keys to servers you use this CAs pub key on each server. Users thrn request a cert from the CA that they use to log in.

Ah my bad. I thought he was saying that's how it works for SSH.

It looks like Vault or CloudFlare Access but less functionality.

We use Mattermost at work. I can't say much for RocketChat, but I do really like Mattermost. I'm a fan of the IRC style chat apps and the ability to add them into automation and such.

I ended up rolling out Mattermost at my last workplace. I didn't do any testing of Rocketchat because Mattermost checked all of our boxes. It was fast, clean, stable, had all of the clients that we needed (Windows, Mac, Linux), and the documentation was solid. I wished that 3rd party authentication (AD in our case) wasn't a pay feature, but that was a minimal consideration at our size.

We get that all with Rocket.Chat, all of it, for free. I didn't realize Mattermost had "pay only" features, that's a huge reason I'm glad that we didn't go with them. Overall, they were so close it was hard to tell which one to prefer. Rocket seems to have pulled ahead of Mattermost in popularity and being completely free makes a bit difference.

It looks like it's just "AD/LDAP". GitLab has Mattermost integrated natively and you can use it as an OAUTH provider. So OAUTH is definitely free (which is the better way to go anyway).

Oh, OAUTH is really nice.

RocketChat supports OAUTH as well I believe. I doubt my company would allow it though. They are in love with AD

They aren't mutually exclusive.

I just mean they wouldn't allow OAUTH even though you're saying its superior. Can't use AD for free with Mattermost, so kind of counts it out unfortunately. At least for now.

I'm saying you can use OAUTH with AD.
