The CI for the BlueBanquise project runs in GitHub Actions hosted runners, in an Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine. The project runs unit tests for the Ansible roles with the molecule tool.
There is a recurring problem with the unit test of the role core.time where the idempotence test occasionally fails in GitHub Actions. Despite multiple attempts to reproduce the issue locally, the molecule test always succeed in my lab system. Usually, a new run of the CI job allows to successfully pass the unit test.
The BlueBanquise CI is somewhat limited when it comes to test client-server setup.
This post will demonstrate how to test a pull request (PR) for BlueBanquise in virtual machines with Vagrant and the bluebanquise-vagrant project. I want to create a virtual environment to test the PR #397 which implements the customization of the port of the rsyslog server. At the time of writing, the head of this PR is 4605aeb.
The sources of this blog are tracked in a git repository hosted on GitHub. The editable content is kept in the default branch main, while the static pages built by Hugo are stored in the gh-pages branch. The GitHub Pages hosting service is configured to use the content of gh-pages as a source.
The process to build and publish a website with Hugo, explained in a previous blog post, requires several manual steps.
+ Hugo is a static website generator written in Go. This is a framework that helps to quickly and efficiently build a website from templates, themes and markdown content.
In this blog post, I will demonstrate how to build a static website with Hugo and publish it to GitHub Pages. This post does not cover the initialization of the GitHub Pages which is documented here.
Initial Setup of the Website There are several ways to install Hugo, which depend on your operating system.
