What? No one needs their carpet cleaned?

@shortstack said in Saltstack and Brew Casks:

@DustinB3403 i am also wondering what the workaround for this issue is, re: salt minion executing brew installs. did you ever figure out a clean way to get brew working, maybe runas a different user?

I haven't had the chance to get back into this, other more pressing issues so I just went on with my day.

Sorry

@Emad-R Exactly, that's more than running your own. $2.95 PER WEBSITE is quite expensive. Run your own and you can do it for $.35 per site!

No you cannot. Not for a single site or even a dozen.

$5 vultr instance / 12 sites comes in at $0.42

That doesn't count the labor to maintain, patch, make resiliant (excluding content related development, etc).
While certainly not expensive, it is also certainly not $0.35.

Ah, but don't forget, when we did a labour study we found that dealing with your own install had lower labour than when dealing with a shared instance because you don't get raw access. So we lowered labour.

So my numbers were obviously without labour, but so were the shared numbers. If you include labour both go up, but the shared goes up more from what we found in testing.

It's kind of hard to help without seeing the playbook/role you created.

This way you can share the config(s) under conf.d between multiple machines using the same roles (or whatever Salt calls them) and have different main NGINX server settings.

@drybjed welcome to the community!!

So I also realized that if you have even a small number of records, a dictionary will become super long. So you can compact the dictionary like this:

records: ns1: {forward: 10.1.30.11, type: A, last: 11, rev: 30.1.10.in-addr.arpa.} ansible: {forward: 10.1.30.5, type: A, last: 5, rev: 30.1.10.in-addr.arpa.}

So while the other way may be easier to read, this saves a TON of space.

@scottalanmiller why install a proxy when Apaches here and working what is the benefit to having a proxy on the same server. Let’s Encrypt perfectly with Apache

Security and flexibility typically. Here is the admitted marketing material from Nginx on security: "Security and anonymity – By intercepting requests headed for your backend servers, a reverse proxy server protects their identities and acts as an additional defense against security attacks. It also ensures that multiple servers can be accessed from a single record locator or URL regardless of the structure of your local area network."
