Getting Started with Ansible 03 – Setting up the Git Repo
Ansible is an incredible configuration management and provisioning utility that enables you to automate all the things. In this series, you’ll learn everything you need to know in order to use Ansible for your day-to-day administration duties. In part 3, we take a look at another foundational concept – Git. Everyone who effectively implements automation uses Git, and in this video, we look into creating a repository and how to push changes.
Getting Started with Ansible 02 – SSH overview & Setup
Ansible is an incredible configuration management and provisioning utility that enables you to automate all the things. In this series, you’ll learn everything you need to know in order to use Ansible for your day-to-day administration duties. In the second episode, we take a look at some foundational knowledge, specifically OpenSSH which is required for Ansible to work.

In the first video in this series, we take a look at the overall theme and what to expect.
Running Containers in the cloud with the Linode Kubernetes Engine
Kubernetes is a very powerful platform to scale your applications, as the lower resource usage of containers can give you greater efficiency. The Linode Kubernetes Engine allows you to easily deploy containers in the cloud, eliminating the need for you to maintain your own hardware for your Kubernetes stack. In this video, we’ll explore the Linode Kubernetes Engine, and walk through an example of not only deploying a pod, but also setting up persistent storage as well.
Setting up a Raspberry Pi Kubernetes Cluster with Ubuntu 20.04
Kubernetes is a very powerful platform to scale your applications, and the Raspberry Pi is a low-cost computer with excellent power efficiency you can use to run tasks without breaking the bank. Canonical recently released Ubuntu 20.04, with full support for the Raspberry Pi. In this video, we take a look at how to create a Pi-powered Kubernetes cluster based on Ubuntu.

Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) Deep Dive Tutorial
LVM, short for Logical Volume Manager, is awesome – and it doesn’t seem to get the attention it deserves. In this one-shot tutorial, I’ll show you why you should care about LVM, how to get started, some of the commands you can use to manage it, and more. You’ll even learn how to use it to take snapshots of your system!
Building a Low Energy Virtualization Server for Your Office/Homelab with Proxmox
Following up on my low-energy FreeNAS build, here’s another server build – this time for virtualization. In this video, you’ll see the process of building a low-energy Proxmox server, and just like the last build – this one uses only around 55 watts!
Building a Low Energy Storage Server for your Office/Homelab
Saving power in your homelab can be a very important factor in your build. In this video, you’ll see the process of building a lower energy storage server, that uses only around 55 watts! FreeNAS is shown as an example, but other NAS platforms can be used as well.
Building a Raspberry-Pi Storage Server with OpenMediaVault
This video is the first of several low-energy server ideas I’ll be showing off. This time around, we explore the setup of a storage server, but on a Raspberry Pi. This will greatly decrease power-usage. OpenMediaVault will be installed on the Raspberry Pi, and you’ll see the entire process in this video.
