OpenTofu
Terraform or OpenTofu (the open-source fork supported by the Linux Foundation) is a nice tool to setup the infrastructure on different cloud environments. There is also a provider that supports libvirt.
If you want to get started with OpenTofu there is a free training available from the Linux foundation:
I also joined the talk about OpenTofu and Infrastructure As Code, in general, this year in the Virtualization and Cloud Infrastructure DEV Room at FOSDEM this year:

#eXit : Goodbye twitter. Hi Mastodon…
less than 1 minute read
I decided to leave twitter.
Yes, this has something to do with the change of ownership, the name change to x, …
There is only 1 X to me, and that’s X.org
Twitter has become a platform that doesn’t value #freedomofspeech anymore.
My account even got flagged as possible spam to “factchecking” #fakenews
The mean reason is that there is a better alternative in the form of the Fediverse #Fediverse is the protocol that Mastodon uses.
It allows for a truly decentralised social media platform.
It allows organizations to set up their own Mastodon instance and take ownership and accountability for their content and accounts.
Mastodon is a nice platform; you probably feel at home there.
People who follow me on twitter can continue to follow me at Mastodon if they want.

I’ll post this message a couple of times to twitter before I close my twitter account, so people can decide if they want to follow me on Mastodon …or not ;-).
Have fun!
Read more...docker-stafwag-unbound v2.1.0 released: Use unbound as an DNS-over-TLS resolver and authoritative DNS server
4 minute read
Unbound is a popular DNS resolver, that has native DNS-over-TLS support.
Unbound and Stubby were among the first resolvers to implement DNS-over-TLS.
I wrote a few blog posts on how to use Stubby on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.

- https://stafwag.github.io/blog/blog/2018/10/07/dns-privacy-with-stubby-part-2-freebsd/
The implementation status of DNS-over-TLS and other DNS privacy options is available at: https://dnsprivacy.org/.
See https://dnsprivacy.org/implementation_status/ for more details.
It’s less known that it can also be used as authoritative DNS server (aka a real DNS server). Since I discovered this feature and Unbound got native DNS-over-TLS support I started to it as my DNS server.
I created a docker container for it a couple of years back to use it as an authoritative DNS server.
I recently updated the container, the latest version (2.1.0) is available at: https://github.com/stafwag/docker-stafwag-unbound
ChangeLog
Version 2.1.0
Upgrade to debian:bookworm
- Updated BASE_IMAGE to debian:bookworm
