Learning How to Deploy a AlmaLinux VM With Packer (Part 1)

Learning How to Deploy a AlmaLinux VM With Packer I looked into the process for using Packer, and while I understand its purpose, I wanted to gain a clearer insight into how to effectively implement it for my needs. Packer is a tool that automates the creation of machine images across various platforms. It allows you to define a configuration file that specifies how to build your images, ensuring consistency and repeatability in deployments. However, as I explored several templates for cloud-based systems, I found myself somewhat perplexed by the complexity of it all. I learn best by doing, but I didn’t want to dive into writing a template from scratch. So, I asked myself, what would Captain Picard do to get this thing up and running? He’d ask the ship’s computer. And in this case, I believed he might also consult Commander Data for a bit of extra insight. Consequently, I sought help from our own artificial intelligences to streamline the process, drawing on the information I had gat...

Welcome and Introduction

Introduction Embracing New Projects As the nights draw in and the cooler weather sets in, it’s a perfect time to embark on a new project. Is it still worth setting up a test lab in an era where predefined automations and scripted setups dominate? While automation tools can streamline many tasks, they often rely on pre configured solutions that may not address every unique scenario. The Role of Cloud Computing While cloud computing remains a crucial component of many IT infrastructures, it’s not always the best choice for every scenario, particularly when it comes to hands-on learning and developing a deep understanding of systems. For this lab project, I’ve chosen to focus on self-hosting instead of using cloud services. By building and managing everything locally, I gain more control over each aspect of the setup, which allows for a deeper, more detailed learning experience that cloud environments sometimes abstract away. This approach ensures a thorough understanding of the under...
