This is incredibly unfair, and I would like to retract from receiving any prizes or recognition for what’s happening.
In short: I got access to claude code and fixed everything i wanted within a day.
Long form:
I was struggling with opentofu, getting tokens to take, setting permissions for api keys correctly. Running against a 27B model for debugging and checking the wiki and forums helped, i was able to create the test VM, i bounced the ideas for k8s nodes around and then I thought to give claude code a go…
Terraform, fixed in no time. Ansible? Deployed. HAProxy, currently doing that. CIS benchmarks applied and tested.
Claude was able to do all the heavy lifting, i was able to supervise and check out the yaml and HCL to see how it thought to do it.
I’m still working on it, still in tandem with Opus.
I’ve learned a lot about the way to architect these tools better, the way to move forward with technical problems by watching and keeping a lessons learned tab. I’m not doing the actual coding or writing. That makes me sad in a way. Looking at the progress I’m making on actually doing something usefull with my infra and knowledge, making my rack behave the way I would like it too. It feels like cheating, and it is.
I will provide a nice update on the terraform part first in the coming days. You’ll see a lot of code that i didn’t write, so in that sense it’s a little sad. But you’ll also see the architecture, the VM’s, the way to deploy FCOS and Almalinux on proxmox automagically. …
update, soon!
