Best way for monitoring and alerting of running Bluefin version

Bluefin and Aurora
4

Okay … After a lot of googling, duckduckgoing and also some chatgpting I think I have something that works. I also took inspiration from ublue-motd. The issue mentioned above talks about user-motd.sh, which I couldn’t find.

Maybe somebody can take a look at the script and give me feedback? That would be great! I’ll attach it below.

BTW: I specifically didn’t customize ublue-motd as I thought it was something very different after all. What do you think?

But what now?

But now I don’t know how to proceed, as I’m a rooky sysadmin coming from more traditional distros like Debian and only slowly venturing into the atomic distros.

How do I get my script to work on Bluefin? Normally I would create a systemd timer and a unit file. But on a read-only file system… :exploding_head:

Can somebody help me with that?
