Ansible Container
In the previous post we looked at running ansible from our PC to perform system tasks on a remote system.
To avoid having to install ansible on the host system it makes more sense to use a container for it though.
Ansible
A lot of system administration can be automated using Ansible. Of course it’s also possible to just use shell scripts to do the same.
The difference is not that big and depends a lot on how you want to work.
Site Deployment
Now that I have my container images ready, I can build my site and deploy it.
Let’s make a Jenkins pipeline to handle the deployment.
Nginx Container
To host my Hugo generated static site I’ll need a web server.
For this task I have chosen to use nginx.
Hugo Container
I am using Hugo to build this website and it made sense for me to automate this.
The first step on that journey is to create a container to use for the static site files generation.
LaTeX Template
Working with LaTeX can be real fun. However default it looks rather bland when using it for documentation.
Of course many universities have their own style they want you to use and in most cooperate settings the same is true. However many companies don’t use LaTeX as they think it’s too difficult to make good looking documentation with.
