An Ansible Playbook and roles for setting up BitTorrent Sync on Digital Ocean

Hi 👋, I'm Doug

Welcome to my GitHub repo! This is mostly for personal projects that I've worked on over the years. Sometimes it's to learn a new technology, sometimes it's to contribute something to a particular space, sometimes it's just #CodePosting where I try something new.

If you like my work, please consider sponsoring me.

Here are my more interesting projects that you may wish to check out:

• Is PECO Okay? - Text-based low-bandwidth website for real-time information on the Philadelphia Power Grid. View on the web at https://www.IsPecoOkay.com/.
• Docker image to extract sound files from Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Final Unity
• Grafana Network Monitor - This is a quick and dirty collection of scripts and dashboards I built to monitor my home's Internet connectivity by pinging multiple hosts on the Internet.
• Docker in Vagrant - As a Mac user, I wasn't happy with the desktop offerings of Docker that were available to me. So I built my own using Virtualbox and Vagrant!
• FastAPI Httpbin - HTTP endpoints for testing. Heavily inspired by the original Httpbin project, with a few ideas of my own added in. Play with it here!
• Dead Simple QR Code Generator - Part of my FastAPI Httpbin project. No ads. No signups. No spam. Just QR Codes when you want them.
• Splunk Lab - Stand up Splunk in 30 seconds! It's a great way to learn Splunk, ingest sample data, etc. Includes the Machine Learning app.
• Grafana Playground - Spin up a Grafana instance with Prometheus and Loki for testing quickly and painlessly.
• Cheetah Bot - A Telegram Bot that makes cheetah sounds and posts cheetah pictures!
• Diceware - Generate passwords you can easily remember! Visit the Production deployment here.
• SSH Principal and CA Playgroud - Learn how SSH Principals and Certificate Authorities work in a Dockerized environment
• Script to convert JPG and PNG files to HEIC format - This script recursively converts JPG and PNG files to HEIC format, and will cut space savings in half. Useful for old photo archives!
• Undertale and Deltarune Resources 🌻 - A list of links of interest for Undertale and Deltarune
• Learn "git rebase -i" with this lab/playground - A tool I built to teach myself Interactive Rebasing in Git. Used for the talk I give here.
• ZFS Playground - Learn ZFS, the quick and easy way!
• WordPress with Nginx and Let's Encrypt - Collection of config to stand up WordPress with Nginx, MySQL, and Let's Encrypt. The blog post explaining all of this is over here.

• Splunk Network Health Check - A network health checking that I built. Uses Splunk Lab and a hacked version of ping(!)
• Is SEPTA F*cked? - Slightly more... colorful status website for Philadelphia public transit. Visit the Production Website here.
• Tarsplit - Split up tarballs on file boundaries to more easily use large tarballs in Docker images.

ansible-btsync's Issues

Apache2 gets installed (somehow)

I can't reproduce this on Vagrant, but at some point when running this playbook on the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS image on Digital Ocean, the apache2 package gets installed and started, which prevents nginx from starting. (Even more strangely, Digital Ocean doesn't catch that)

I need to chase this down at some future point and figure out how/why Apache is getting installed.
