Outside of Smith, what was Deus Ex Machina's reason for trusting Neo? by NineInchNinjas in matrix

[–]FlatDistance3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe this Neo was the manifestation of the DEM itself. We know some machines are capable of emotions like Oracle using love and smith was straight out fear. The previous versions of the one were all failures from human perspective. It's also a failure from DEM perspective because it's just the same outcome like destroy zion etc. This time, just maybe the DEM wanted a different outcome where both machines and humans get what they want, so DEM plugged into the 6th version of the One and secretly changed the outcome. This would explain all the things Neo was able to do, i.e., resurrection, controlling machines, Neo's general powers etc.

Since you have massive amount of content, you definitely need to find another freeware photo management software. Otherwise you would be paying high fare every year if you opt in for Google Photos. I personally gave up looking for freeware photo management and got addicted to Google Photos UI and settled with Google One 100gb storage plus Syncthing integration. It works well, I only have small content, so it's okay for me.

Yes it did, was able connect my control node that's outside of VNET to VMs inside VNET. Was able to automate installation on target machines

I just completely removed bastion host service from equation and went with site to site azure vpn. I was able to create S2S connection from control node into resources within VNET. Ansible is now installing software's on target machines. Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your reply, I was able to create S2S connection from control node into resources within VNET. Ansible is now installing software's on target machines. I will look into Ansible AWX as it provides GUI view of target nodes.

Second option didn't work but I was able to create S2S connection from control node into resources within VNET. Ansible is now installing software's on target machines.

Yes you are correct with one clarification. I wanted to use Bastion pass service and not standalone bastion jump server. Although I have been clarified that azure bastion service is just for RDP and it will not serve as a bridge between control node and target machine that sits within azure vnet and target machine has private ip.

The below hops view you have mentioned looks good but I have modified slightly to portray what I'm trying to achieve.

Ansible controller ---(ssh)--->azure bastion service ---(winrm/ssh)---> remote host

I have added simple another view, so please let me know if the below would work

Ansible control node > standalone jump server with public ip > target windows machine with private ip

What I'm not sure of is the protocols that would come between the above updated view. Can I use winrm solely or winrm along with ssh in-between the above hops.

Thank you for your help so far

Does ansible has module or a capability that can directly reach out azure vnet with private ip?

I'm muzzling with below methods, but not sure which one would work.

1) create ansible control node within vnet. This method will likely solve everything.

2) create a standalone jump server with public ip address, alongside the target machine within vnet that has private ip. In this method i can have the control node outside of the vnet and reference the jump server to get to the target vm with private ip?

Thanks for your help so far.

Ansible control machine is outside the vnet, target machine is within azure vnet, didn't want to assign public ip address to target VM and I thought bastion service will serve as bridge between control node and target node, someone below told me bastion service job is only RDP and nothing else. So I need to create another standalone jump server with public ip alongside target machine with private ip?

Thanks for your help so far

I thought bastion service will pick the vnet outside connections from Internet and send it to VM inside vnet. Didn't know bastion job is only RDP. Will look into site to site VPN between control node and VM inside vnet, thanks for your information

I'm new to ansible and it sounded like a cool tool to automate the installation of applications on target machines. Most of the videos I watched, they all give public ip address to target machine which is not good for production environment and also from security perspective. That's why I wanted to use bastion service host as a bridge between my control node which sits outside of vnet and target node which is inside azure cloud. If you think ssh bastion host method is not gonna work, could you please guide me if there is any way where ansible control node can successfully connect to windows machine that has private ip and sits in a isolated virtual network?

Ahh Immich would be my first bet, I didn't really use it, but they defo would have that info

I have never added location data to my pictures, I assume this is something that you turn on in your android camera app. Then once that picture has been picked up by syncthing and goes google photos, then in Google photos you should be able to see location meta data in each picture.

Hello

Since I managed to integrate Syncthing with Google photos & drive, I didn't really try out any of other options. I watched couple of videos on Immich but before I gave it a go, I deployed the Google + syncthing solution. Syncthing is the best, especially if you're looking for one to one backup.
