📬 The next issue of The Determinate Update is almost here! It’s our behind-the-scenes look at how we're advancing Nix, NixOS, and reproducible infrastructure at Determinate Systems, from the tools we build to community initiatives we're driving, and more.

Hey everyone, the very first release of #OpenVox has been released! It’s a drop in replacement for #Puppet and is ready for initial evaluation. Here’s a link to the blog post with more details via #HackerNews in hopes you’ll help vote it is so that even more people know what #VoxPupuli has accomplished 😁

[ #OpenSource #ConfigurationManagement #ConfigMgmt ]

Automated deployments of #FreeBSD in #Proxmox clusters can be very easy! My #howto guides your through this process by using #ProxLB, #Ansible and #terraform

I'm genuinely proud to have just finished and published a marquee piece that explains how #CUE makes handling #configuration so much nicer!

It's here, on the main #cuelang site: https://cuelang.org/docs/concept/how-cue-enables-configuration/

If, like me, you really dislike hand-wrangling #YAML and #JSON then please do have a read -- and let me what you think 😁

I only learned properly a couple of weeks back about how elegant #CUE's multi-for-loop construct is!

Because in #ConfigMgmt land we're /so/ often dealing with spiky, nested objects, the nested "for" loop has a lovely indent-saving form: here, the loop starting on L37 incorporates 3 for elements, 1 "if" guard, & 1 additional temporary allocation ("let"), whilst letting me iterate over the /innermost/ elements of a (resource|data).<level1>.<level2> shaped struct 🙂

#cuelang is genuinely awesome!

A #Terraform #IaC #ConfigMgmt straw poll for you:

I need to inject some kind of side-effect-free marker into some (many!) TF config expressions/interpolations.

All 4 of the following 1-line options work, with no performance difference between them.

Please help me by selecting any/all that, if you saw them in a (.tf.json) config, you feel *wouldn't* confuse or annoy you ...
