If something is unclear, update it in the docs directly instead of posting it somewhere on the Internet :) #162
Description
Questions are arising from time to time on Reedit, GitHub, the DebOps mailing lists, IRC and multipel other places. If the answer to the questions might also benefit other users it should go into the official documentation and then the answer to the question can basically consist of an URL 😉

So basically a FAQ, that probably could go on the wiki page, which should be made the default

Maybe, instead of the wiki, we could let users ask questions themselfs and if the question is a FAQ could be ranked by the users. I am thinking of a self hosted stackoverflow.

This might be indeed better than a wiki. AskBot seems to be an interesting project, it's a Django app which should be easy to handle now, after gaining experience with

Q: What does
debops tools/debug -l <host>?A: This should dump all of the variables that are present as Ansible facts on the host, as well as variables defined in the Ansible inventory for that host. This way you can see for example, if variables defined for a group are correctly masked or merged with host variables.

BTW, for any AskBot or Discourse tool, DebOps has plenty of VM disk space and bandwidth for traffic offered for free. Awaiting to be used. ;-)

Q: How do you do a distribution update from one Debian version to the next higher?
A: You run the dist-upgrade playbook, reboot the server, then run the
site.ymlplaybook. This procedure might need further testing.Source IRC 2017-05-03:
(13:09:30) drybjed: fabiob_: to be honest, I'm not sure. DebOps is not designed to support dist-upgraded and configured systems
