Hi folks, I’ve been maintaining an Ansible [role](https://github.com/dbrennand/ansible-role-beszel) for [Beszel](https://beszel.dev/) and recently someone submitted a [PR](https://github.com/dbrennand/ansible-role-beszel/pull/10) which ideally should be a separate role, and I already had an idea a few months ago for creating an Ansible collection for Beszel, so in the future I could create some modules for adding new devices as well as roles for deploying the Hub and Agent. I opened a [GitHub discussion](https://github.com/henrygd/beszel/discussions/969) and the author is happy for a collection to be created. Could a collection for Beszel in the community namespace be created? Thanks and have a great evening. ---

Hi @gundalow - What do you think? 🙂 ---

@dbrennand Thanks for the 2nd ping 🙂 [GitHub - ansible-collections/community.beszel](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.beszel) created Please [accept the invite](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.beszel/invitations) to the repo. @Andersson007 Can you setup this new repo in Zuul (assuming we are still using that Collection publishing) ---

Hi @gundalow @Andersson007 `community.beszel` `0.1.0` [PR](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.beszel/pull/1) is ready. What is the process for getting it reviewed seeing as I’m the only maintainer. Do one of you review it? All the GitHub Action workflows for Ansible Lint, Molecule and Ansible tests are passing. ---

Hey @felixfontein - Are you be able to advise here? 🙂 ---

@dbrennand if you have commit rights, simply press the big green Merge button 🙂 If you’re the only maintainer, and nobody else seems to be interested in reviewing things in the collection, that’s usually the only way forward. ---

@dbrennand hello, sorry for the late response, I’m just back from a long PTO. I’ve just added the collection to Zuul: it’ll publish the collection automatically when it sees a new tag, please use the [Releasing guidelines](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_release_without_branches.html) to release the collection. You might be also interested in reading: - [Maintainer guidelines](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/maintainers.html): covers more than just releasing. - [Collection inclusion requirements](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/collection_contributors/collection_requirements.html): in case you want to submit the collection for inclusion to the package in future (must contain modules and plugins). The sooner you adopt the requirements the fewer things you need to change in future. - [How to write a simple module post](https://forum.ansible.com/t/how-to-create-an-ansible-collection-with-a-simple-module-step-by-step/9718): you can use it as a skeleton for your first module if you don’t have any yet. Thanks ---

Hi @gundalow Something is not right, I can no longer push any commits to my feature branch which has a PR created 😕 ```auto remote: error: GH013: Repository rule violations found for refs/heads/0.3.0. remote: Review all repository rules at https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.beszel/rules?ref=refs%2Fheads%2F0.3.0 remote: remote: - Changes must be made through a pull request. remote: To github.com:ansible-collections/community.beszel.git ! [remote rejected] 0.3.0 -> 0.3.0 (push declined due to repository rule violations) error: failed to push some refs to 'github.com:ansible-collections/community.beszel.git' ``` So I no longer have direct commit access to the repository anymore? ---

@dbrennand ~~it says you should 1. create a branch locally from updated main 2. commit your changes 3. push to your github fork 4. open a PR and merge it. Don’t push directly to your upstream branch - it’s a fundamental rule there. See the [Quick-start PR guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html) for step-by-step guidance~~ Sorry for the noise, i should’ve read messages more carefully… Thanks ---

I’ve changed the branch protections so they only apply to main. ---
