This is an update to a previous post where I set up Jenkins on Rancher but had difficulty getting SSL certificates loaded correctly to make LDAPS work. After a little more research I think I’ve figured out how to make it happen and have a route forward on the remaining issues it creates.

Today we’re going to look into what it takes to get Jenkins running on Rancher with Helm. As an added bonus we’re going to have our instance authenticate users against a FreeIPA realm.

FreeIPA’s rule based authorization scheme is as interesting as it is complicated. Today we explore removing the “allow_all” rule and fix sudo access in host groups.

After playing with Rancher some on a small VM I decided I wanted to up my game and try a larger cluster. Having recently picked up a chunky new server I finally have the space to do just that!

I’ve recently added a new heavy-duty server to my home lab and wanted to expand my oVirt cluster to include it. As it turns out, that is nowhere near as easy as it sounds and comes with more than few annoying little gotchas.
