Nevertheless, there is the one hidden advantage of this approach: You learn new things while trying to automate everything. Remember, that it is the journey that is important, not the destination ;)
When you automate something and then never use it again.
This is the way.
And don’t forget the 10 hours to adapt it to a more generic workflow when you need to do something similar 3 weeks later
I just straight up gave up trying to automate renewing my wildcard certificate from Letsencrypt after who knows how many weekends. Typing a single command won’t kill me lol
Sounds like you can schedule that command with crontab then
That’s the easy part, the hard part was getting the acme-dns authentication to work since you can’t use the regular automated update with a wildcard certificate.
Totally worth it, every time.
i automate things so i have more free time for my hobby: automating things
And then spending an hour fiddling with my crontab
Every hour LOL?
My husband will not admit it but this is him
The one thing that i will avoid at any cost is math, i would rather write a program to do it for me
