Goal

Setup a Hetzner VM using Terraform

Morning tasks all done! Ready to start the day!
Only late by 30m today! Not bad!
Reflection: The morning feels too rushed. Remember to plan for French in the eve tomorrow. Not the morn.
learnt how to exclude directories when searching with ripgrep. rg "my-search-pattern -g "dir-to-exclude" or in case of multiple directories, rg "my-search-pattern" -g {dir1, dir2, dir3, ... etc.}
rapid reading cloudinit docs
doing the tutorial at https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/qemu.html
the more I read about cloud-init, the more it feels like pxe/tftp rendered for modern times and modern machines.
current mental model: it’s basically my bridge between getting a machine from the cloud, then customising it to my needs and then using modules and/or my custom scripts to go back to the cloud to setup applications/services
done reading the explanations on the cloud-init site. Know enough to now try stuff and be dangerous 😂
