ATIX at the Chemnitz Linux Days 2023
This year ATIX will participate in Config Management Camp 2023 with its own booth and several speakers! We are excited to meet everyone in Ghent! This year 4 members of the ATIX crew will be giving presentations!
Installing OpenShift through Foreman
If you understand how to install CoreOS, you can also install OpenShift 4. You can provision CoreOS hosts using Foreman. In his talk at the Config Management Camp 2023, Jan explained how to do so, what obstacles there are, and how to use this solution to deploy an OpenShift cluster.
Live Patching & Foreman—how it fits together
Apply patches and critical updates to your Linux kernel without rebooting your system, maximize uptime, and perform critical security updates and major bug fixes: in his talk, Bernhard presented how to combine and use this technology with Foreman.
pulp_deb past, present, and future – tell us what pulp_deb development should focus on next
The pulp_deb plugin is entering a new phase of the software lifecycle, and we want you to tell us what the plugin development should focus on! We will provide an update on the latest features and how we got here, but the focus will be on where we plan to go next.
orcharhino and SecureBoot
Security is mandatory in today's IT. Although orcharhino was primarily developed for lifecycle management of servers, more and more customers demand unattended provisioning and lifecycle management of laptop systems. This often means that you have to enable SecureBoot. In this article, we would like to give you a short introduction to SecureBoot and explain why it is difficult to combine it with orcharhino’s unattended provisioning.
Logging in Kubernetes with Fluent Bit and OpenSearch
Logging primarily serves us to log processes within a program. We expect this to lead, for example, to better auditing, a faster error analysis, and, as a result, more robust programming. Today, we want to show you how to persist and visualize logs in a meaningful way with the right tooling.

AWX and GitLab Webhooks
Tools like AWX and Ansible Automation Platform have become essential in large organizations to manage a large amount of Ansible projects. They provide the ability to pull Ansible code from multiple sources, schedule jobs, distribute credentials and permissions for different users in the organization, and a lot more. We recommend managing Ansible code in a version control system, specifically Git. There are several platforms for functions beyond mere version control. In this article, GitLab plays a central role.
Trace All the Things
When people plan infrastructures and architectures, they usually pay a lot of attention to logging and monitoring right from the start. The idea of tracing is often neglected until the first inexplicable problem occurs. It is my mission to prevent this.
Prometheus Monitoring—Fix It before It Breaks
In this blog post, you can find out why an error message can lead to severe consequences and what everything has to do with your moning coffee.
Ansible Best Practices
Ansible is a tool that automates configuration management through code written in YAML. It is extremely popular, partly thanks to the fact that it works without clients and daemons: all it needs is Python and an SSH connection!
Migrating Git
If you want to change your system landscape, you might want to move your git repositories (repos) as well. However, there are always challenges and questions that you will need to think through and clarify in advance. We’ve been there and done that, and now we would like to share some of our experiences.
