Start of Coding Period This was also the time when I started my first contributions to oVirt. I surely remember getting just started with Ansible which was to be used in the project with oVirt. Lukas was very patient to help me with understanding the parts which would be used by me in the project and was very patient in every step. Right from the application period of March, 2017. Every week has been a new learning experience for me. ...
It has been a week since the Phase 2 results are out. And we proceed to the last and final Phase of the GSoC. I couldn’t blog regularly in the last phase due to many reasons, which I want to change this Phase. But anyhow, this was collectively the output of my work in Phase 2 Setup This approach will follow a 3 box VM setup. For clarity sake, the VM’s can be assumed for now as ...
At last I have got a hold of IRC’s and I declare my love for irssi. The combination of tmux and irssi is a boon for me. I tried different clients like weechat,Epic but I found irssi to be more appealing, quite frankly use any of these two if you are looking for something using which you can chat on irc’s on the terminal. My current installation of irssi is there on my VPC hosted on linode. For logging my chat’s and conversations, I have setup logrotate daemon to log the channels and private chats in their respective directories. ...
So it’s quite some time since I wrote a thing or two about the things which I have doing over the last 2 weeks. This month has been a roller coaster ride if you ask me. Many reasons to it. Some being that I travelled to PyCon Taiwan which marked my first international trip and also my first PyCon talk. Got my uni results. Fingers crossed but heck. I scored a perfect 10 in the last sem! The final version of trumporate’s UI is almost done and me and Rituraj have to just put some final touches to (blogpost for the whole development process is pending. You can find the first one here) ...
In my previous post, I played around how to install ovirt-engine on a remote VM. Turns out we can automate the whole process using ansible playbooks! Secondly, I have thought of shifting from digitalocean to linode. Why? Well, first off. It’s not that I don’t like digitalocean. It’s just that the prices for the VMS that I’am provisioning, are getting too high for me. For a 4GB VM with 2 cores and 60GB of SSD to spare with. I am getting some 4TB of network I/O. 4TB for me is generous. All this adds up to a damage of $40/month or roughly speaking, $0.060/hour. ...
Was trying to install oVirt engine on a VM deployed on DigitalOcean. My learnings from it are documented here. Installing oVirt Engine I would concentrate on the part of just installing oVirt-engine as I had a fair share of problems while doing so. The VM I am installing it on is a 4GB centOS 7 box with 80GB of SSD to spare for. Also, make sure you read through the whole requirements mentioned on the official docs while going forward with this. ...
A lot has happened over the last few weeks. Chelsea won the premiership and that too with a comfortable lead. Dominance is something which we definitely had in the premiership. But I must say, West Brom did put up a good show. The same day, WannaCry Ransomware started it’s havoc. If you are affected, be sure to check out wanawiki and wanadecrypt. Benjamin does a wonderful job in explaining the intrinsic details of the tools in this blog post. ...
So Chelsea won their last Premier league match against Everton hands down last Sunday. And we had a very comfortable win I would say. Pedro’s 25-yard stunner, Gary Cahill’s close-range finish and Willian’s tap-in kept us ahead of The toffees. Courtois got his much deserved clean sheet. Wouldn’t be wrong to say that we had a great day. We are just 3 wins away from the premier league title with Tottenham right behind our backs. ...
