Introduction

This is Self-Serving Systems, your one-stop shop for all things you can’t have. We have a wide selection of projects to tinker with, but they weren’t made for you and you likely won’t find them useful or even accessable.

In other words, sod off! This is my badger’s den!

It helps when you push your changes to the correct repo. Now my snarky website is doing what it’s suppose to.

Note to self: Ansible does not like a playbook file with a role that does not exist, even if the role is conditional. This breaks even before the pre_tasks actions are processed. This means no funny last-minutes changes can be made to fix the problem.

In short, if your playbook has a role, it had better exist.

Trying to get this working for Cloudflare took a little effort.

Cloudflare has this thing called Workers and Pages. You can have Cloudflare connect to your Github or Gitlab repo and they’ll deploy it to a pages.dev subdomain. Problems I had was adding that subdomain as a CNAME to my hostname.

In the Pages details, there’s a list of tabs at the top of the page. It defaults to Deployments, but I needed Custom Domains. Once I added my hostname to that, everything worked.

I’m starting to appreciate Cloudflare. Maybe they should get some of my moneys.

Started this website. It’s all downhill from here.
