docker-stafwag-hello_nginx v1.0.0 released
While the code ( if you call YAML “code” ) is already more than 5 years old. I finally took the take the make a proper release of my test “hello” OCI container.
I use this container to demo a container build and how to deploy it with helm on a Kubernetes cluster. Some test tools (ping, DNS, curl, wget) are included to execute some tests on the deployed pod.
It also includes a Makefile to build the container and deploy it on a Red Hat OpenShift Local (formerly Red Hat CodeReady Containers) cluster.
To deploy the container with the included helm charts to OpenShift local (Code Ready Containers), execute make crc_deploy.
This will:
- Build the container image
- Login to the internal OpenShift registry
- Push the image to the internal OpenShift register
- Deploy the helm chart in the tsthelm namespace, the helm chart will also create a route for the application.
I might include support for other Kubernetes in the future when I find the time.

I prepared a few update releases of some ansible roles related to provision virtual machines with libvirt over the last weeks.
Mainly clean up releases and makes sure that everything works on different GNU/Linux distributions out of the box.
One “big” change is the removal of the dependency on the cloud-localds
utility to provision virtual machines with cloud-init. This enables the usage of the roles on Linux distributions that don’t provide this utility.
Ansible-k3s-on-vms v1.2.0

In previous blog posts, we discussed setting up a GPG smartcard on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.
In this blog post, we will configure Thunderbird to work with an external smartcard reader and our GPG-compatible smartcard.
Before Thunderbird 78, if you wanted to use OpenPGP email encryption, you had to use a third-party add-on such as https://enigmail.net/.
Thunderbird’s recent versions natively support OpenPGP. The Enigmail addon for Thunderbird has been discontinued. See: https://enigmail.net/index.php/en/home/news.
I didn’t find good documentation on how to set up Thunderbird with a GnuPG smartcard when I moved to a new coreboot laptop, so this was the reason I created this blog post series.
Read more...New release Ansible role stafwag.ntpd, and clean up Ansible roles
I made some time to give some love to my own projects and spent some time rewriting the Ansible role stafwag.ntpd and cleaning up some other Ansible roles.
There is some work ongoing for some other Ansible roles/projects, but this might be a topic for some other blog post(s) ;-)
stafwag.ntpd
An ansible role to configure ntpd/chrony/systemd-timesyncd.
This might be controversial, but I decided to add support for chrony and systemd-timesyncd. Ntpd is still supported and the default on the BSDs ( FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD).
It’s possible to switch from the ntp implementation by using the ntpd.provider directive.
The Ansible role stafwag.ntpd v2.0.0 is available at:
- https://github.com/stafwag/ansible-role-ntpd
- https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/standalone/roles/stafwag/ntpd/
