Adding a couple of more OpenBSD VMs from OpenBSD.Amsterdam

 · Systeemkabouter

To do some more OpenBSD fiddling without fiddling with actual hardware, I was looking for some extra virtual machines. I asked around for other options, but not many came up, and they were not particularly more interesting than OpenBSD.Amsterdam.

So yesterday I asked Mischa to set up two now virtual machines for me and this morning I wanted to do some basic setup.

First thing I tried was using ansible. I had already used ansible in the past on some other OpenBSD machines, but apparently the code needed fixing / updating / exploded in my face. When trying to 'fix' this by updating ansible on my Mac with a 'brew update', more stuff exploded and I was kinda done with ansible on my macbook. I logged into my Linux Laptop at this stage

Sooooo... I thought about using another tool for a second, Puppet came to mind. But that needs a server, and probably a Linux server. And I was trying to play with BSD here, so not really an attractive option.

Going oldskool

When bootstrapping new stuff, there are always these catch-22 situations. To run Y, you first need Z. So I figured I would try the approach of The Ancients from the last Millennium:

Just Run A Shell Script

Sample output:

redpuffy# ksh /home/systeemkabouter/no_ansible.sh

Good enough for now, will revisit when the need arises. The only thing I really missed was a safe way to handle secrets/passwords. For now I need to protect the original script or reset my authenticated smtp password.

That Was Fun
