Node is unreachable

 When you encounter the "Node is unreachable" issue in a Docker container, it typically indicates a problem with the network configuration or connectivity between containers. Here are some steps to diagnose and address the issue:


1. **Check Container State**: First, ensure that the container you are trying to reach is running and in a healthy state. You can use the `docker ps` command to list the running containers and check their status.


2. **Network Configuration**: Confirm that the containers are part of the same Docker network. Containers on the same network can communicate with each other using container names as hostnames. If they are on different networks, consider connecting them to the same network.


   To create a custom Docker network and attach containers to it, you can use commands like:

   

   ```bash

   docker network create my_network

   docker run --network my_network -d --name container1 my_image1

   docker run --network my_network -d --name container2 my_image2

   ```


3. **Hostname Resolution**: Ensure that you are using the correct container name or hostname when trying to reach the container. Containers can typically resolve each other using their container name as the hostname.


4. **DNS Resolution**: Check if DNS resolution is working correctly within your containers. DNS resolution issues can lead to the "Node is unreachable" error.


5. **Firewalls and Security Groups**: If you are running Docker in a cloud environment, such as AWS or Azure, review your security group or firewall settings. Ensure that there are no rules blocking traffic between the containers.


6. **Container IP Addresses**: If container names and DNS resolution do not work, consider using the container's IP address to reach it. You can find the IP address of a container using the `docker inspect` command.


7. **Logs and Diagnostics**: Review the logs of both containers to see if they provide any specific error messages or clues about the issue. Use `docker logs <container_name>` to check the container logs.


8. **Firewall Software**: Check the host system's firewall settings. Sometimes, firewall software on the host system can block network traffic between containers.


9. **Restart Containers**: Sometimes, simply restarting the containers can resolve networking issues. Use `docker restart <container_name>` to restart a specific container.


10. **Check Dependencies**: If your containers depend on external services, make sure that those services are running and accessible. Ensure that there are no connectivity issues with databases, message brokers, or other external resources.


By following these steps and carefully inspecting your Docker networking and configuration, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the "Node is unreachable" issue between your containers.

bad character U+002D '-' in my helm template

 In Helm templates, the hyphen character (`-`) can sometimes be treated as a reserved character, particularly when defining values or labels. To include a hyphen character in a Helm template without issues, you can use one of the following approaches: 1. **Quoting the Hyphen:**    You can enclose the hyphen in double quotes, like this:    ```yaml    key: "-"    ```    This way, Helm will interpret the hyphen as a string rather than an operator. 2. **Using Backticks:**    If you need to use the hyphen within a Go template function or inside backticks, you can escape it with a backslash (`\`), like this:    ```yaml    value: `{{ .Values.someField | printf "%s \\-" }}`    ```    The backslash prevents Helm from interpreting the hyphen as a special character. 3. **Variable Assignment:**    Assign the value to a variable and use it. For example:    ```yaml    {{- $hyphen := "-" }}    key: {{ $hyphen }}    ```    This way, you can use the variable `$hyphen` wher

GitLab pipeline stopped working with invalid yaml error

 When your GitLab pipeline has stopped working with an "invalid YAML" error, it means there's a problem with your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. This could be due to syntax errors, incorrect indentation, or other issues in your pipeline configuration. Here's how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Check for Syntax Errors**:    Carefully review your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for any syntax errors. Common issues include missing colons, indentation problems, or mismatched quotation marks. Use a YAML linter or an online YAML validator to identify and correct syntax errors. 2. **Indentation**:    YAML relies heavily on proper indentation. Make sure that all lines within the same block have consistent indentation (typically using spaces, not tabs). Incorrect indentation can cause YAML parsing errors. 3. **Dashes and Lists**:    Ensure that you use the correct syntax for lists (arrays) in YAML by starting each item with a dash (`-`). Be consistent with your use of dashes throug

How do I add a printer in OpenSUSE which is being shared by a CUPS print server?

 To add a printer in openSUSE that is being shared by a CUPS print server, you can use the following steps: 1. **Ensure CUPS Client is Installed:**    Make sure your openSUSE system has the CUPS client tools installed. You can install them using the following command:    ```bash    sudo zypper install cups-client    ``` 2. **Discover Available Printers:**    Use the `lpinfo` command to discover available printers on your CUPS print server. Replace `cups-server-hostname` with the hostname or IP address of your CUPS server:    ```bash    lpinfo -v -h cups-server-hostname:631    ```    This command should list the printers shared by the CUPS server. 3. **Add a Printer:**    Use the `lpadmin` command to add a printer. Replace `printer-name` with the name of the printer you want to add and `printer-uri` with the URI obtained from the `lpinfo` command:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v printer-uri    ```    For example:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v socket://cu
