Following are the steps I followed to have further understanding

1. Know the architecture from this link. Whether the API totally encapsulates the CGI or there are some differences, that is not the topic of this guide, so it's better to be always aware of the Disk Station Architecture your script would support, so that when we have to read the sources we'll know which source to check

2. Try a working ansible role. That will give a pretty good overview of how the interaction is implemented.

3. Check the official docs for the

Naming

• Use underscores
• Do not use hyphens, based on the issues 1042 and 1123

History

• Previously people used ansible-role-ROLE-NAME and Galaxy removed the ansible-role- part and kept ROLE-NAME
• Later on galaxy stopped removing the prefix, and left the role maintainers do the heavy-lefting of setting the ROLE-NAME into meta/main.yml:role_name:
  However, there's a trick here, hyphens will be replaced with underscores, only the old roles could keep their hyphens x)
• Then meta/main.yml:role_name: got deprecated, people got pretty angry as they are now stuck with ansible-role-ROLE-NAME naming, then over time they undeprecated the option

• Half the even numbered spaces :% s/\(\( \)\{\-2\}\)/\2/g by matching the the consecutive 4 spaces, source
  • origin: s/(( ){-2}/$2/g
• Half the even numbered spaces :% s/\^\(\( \)\+\)\\1/\1/g by matching the whole spaces and halving them, source
  • origin: s/^(( )+)\1/$1/g
• Encapsulate all the small caps strings into double quotes: :% s/\([a-z]\+\)/"\1"/g
  • origin: s /([a-z]+)/"$1"/g
• Replace [:abc] with "abc": :% s/\[:\([a-z]\+\)\]/"\1"/g
  • origin: s /[:([a-z]+)]/$1/g or s /\[:([a-z]+)\]/$1/g I have to double check
• Replace Model.enum[:abc].to_s with "abc": :% s/Model\.[a-z]\+\[:\([a-z]\+\)\]\.to_s/"\1"/g
• origin: s /Model\.[a-z]+[:([a-z]+)]\.to_s/$1/g or s /Model\.[a-z]+\[:([a-z]+)\]\.to_s/$1/g I have to double check

Post-Setup Modification

I was looking forward to changing the user-data available on baremetal installation of user-data on an RPI, and following are the hits that I reached.

• How to manage cloud-init on physical server?

Note: I found multiple instances of the user-data and user-data.i, but I didn't reach yet which is the source as all the ones that I changed got reverted upon a restart.

rsyslog

The warning cc_rsyslog.py:205: FutureWarning: Possible nested set at position 23 is not severe, but it shows up, it could be circumvented using version 19.1

Using Geerlingguy's K8s cluster and trying to install the metrics-server has some little snowflakes, following is how they got solved for me.

Steps

• get the metrics server git clone https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server.git metrics-server
• label the nodes according to the metrics-server node affinity to ensure it works, original labelling was in my case beta.kubernetes.io/arch=amd64

kubectl label node master kubernetes.io/arch=amd64
kubectl label node node1  kubernetes.io/arch=amd64
kubectl label node node2  kubernetes.io/arch=amd64
