   Nowadays, all my things run Buster, but it's still awful to think how fast time goes and Debian releases come and go.

2. An issue I ran into when creating a new Gitlab repo with terraform

   Gitlab + Terraform

   I try to manage my gitlab repos via terraform lately.

   Yesterday, I created a new project called ansible-role-chrome.

   This was done with terraform.

   The project has a gitlabci file that runs molecule test in two Debian 9&10 images of mine.

   Today I got an email saying that …

8. Terraform git repo removal with Gitlab provider

   New changes on Gitlab

   I haven't deleted a git repo on Gitlab for some time, so I didn't know about a "feature" Gitlab created.

   Now on the public Gitlab.com instance, if you try to remove/delete a repo, it defaults into an archived form for 7 days before it's …

9. Working with the Gitlab provider for Terraform

   More Terraform work

   I've got a few git repositories on Gitlab.com that have been manually made over time, with different configurations, ci schedules and purposes.
