I'm deploying the https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/postgresql into k8s and wondering how can I automate the following

• creation of a database
• create a role with password as owner of the database above

I've seen the extraDeploy https://github.com/bitnami/charts/blob/master/bitnami/postgresql/values.yaml#L43 parameter but this seems like will create a k8s specific resource (not touching pg).

The only idea I have leveraging the extraDeploy is to create a job which deploys a custom pod that will connect to pg and create the db, role and password ...

thanks!

Is any saltstack formula 'skeleton' available so it can create a structure as described here?

In chef you have knife cookbook create or in ansible ansible-galaxy init.

In azure cloud when you start a windows image the running vm will have a temporary drive D: where the page file is set.

Is any way I can call the api (powershel, az cli etc.) and be able to specify which letter to assign to the temporary drive ? I want for example to have the disk C: as OS and disk Z: for the temporary drive.

thanks,

ps: i know how to change it after the vm is running as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/change-drive-letter

I'm setting up percona pmm for mongodb but the agent is chewing a lot on cpu.

I have pmm-admin 1.5.0 on CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 and Mongodb 3.0.12 and I see the /usr/local/percona/qan-agent/bin/percona-qan-agent using 100% constantly.

Doing an strace on a thread I do see

futex(0xab0de0, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, {0, 223304991}) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) or read(8, 0xc4200839b0, 36) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

... though data shows up into the pmm/qan server.

I tried many configurations and the one that shows data is

--uri 'mongodb://host:port/?replicaSet=replicaName&authSource=admin',

I do have authentication enabled and a replica set.

I have a server hosted by a provider which uses Cisco ASA to do nat. The problem I have is that the internal server that is nat-ed with a public ip will see its public ip as source ip. This basically breaks an application which will try to bind to the external ip for some reason.

The provider will not disclose its configuration on the ASA and I'm asking if anyone can explain what sort of nat is this and what can I ask the provider to do - at this point they say it's all working for them ...

thanks!

i have a few remote environments where i can only connect from outside but not from inside to outside. for my deployments/configuration needs i used fabric and capistrano that works fine but I have pressure to use a complete configuration system as puppet or chef.

is there a way i can push specific commands via puppet or chef ? (please keep in mind that the remote hosts can not connect to my site where i would have the puppet/chef server)

thanks

is there a 'native' way where i can rotate nohup out file ?

Is there a way to change my Windows domain password from Linux?
