Initial Server Setup Using Ansible
Why So, I’ve been on a ‘how can I make my life easier’ kick and started looking into different system management software. Ansible bubbled up to the top because it’s agent-less. This makes a lot of sense for the types of things I’m doing. It might make things slower in a huge setup/infrastructure since there’s some latency doing things through SSH. Goal Initial Goal - Automate the entire server baseline setup via Ansible.
Making Ubuntu 22.04 Faster
Why I setup my server to boot on power. So I want to boot and run as quickly as possible to minimize downtime due to reboots or power-outages. It happens more than I’d like. Goal Document performance settings for Ubuntu 22.04 Settings Not a performance setting, but ups the map count limit to allow for Docker to be able to run ELK. Set vm.max_map_count to no less than 262144 (one time configuration) 1 2 # Run once, loses setting after reboot.

Meeting Groundrules
I always liked something like this. Meeting Ground Rules Respect Your Colleagues! It’s ok to disagree, respectfully and openly. Silence is consensus, please speak up with concerns! Listen as an ally and with an open mind. Only one person speaks at a time. Honor the limitations of time, speak concisely. If you state a problem, try to offer a solution. If you have a comment a bit off topic but you want addressed , write it down for a possible follow up meeting.

Running wget in background with continue
Prevent Failed Downloads w/ wget wget seems to have two options if you need to remotely download a file from an http(s) website. 1 nohup wget -c -q 'https://domain/path/to/url/file.tar.gz & nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty: essentially this just prevents the command from ignoring ‘hangup’ signals and continue running. -c = Attempt to continue the download. -q = suppres wget’s terminal output. & = put the job in the background.
