I have rebased the branch and added the old article to our blog. I will attempt to work on the new version this week.

I will focus on this PR as it is quite old and very useful to have available for the community. It is also a very good case study if the new Web UI is functional enough.

The blog article is progressing well. I have the individual steps all mapped out and should be able to extend the very short explanations.

Installing the Chef Server Backend on SUSE seems to work in principle, but installing Chef Automate seems to be broken since 2016 (chef/chef-server#969). I will redo the backend on a RH-based OS to attempt and get a working test setup.

During my work on the blog article, I am hitting numerous bugs that I will need to fix to progress. This makes progress slow.

After a lot of trial and error, I have a first setup that works without any manual interaction. This draft is not the final blog article. There is a lot to do before this can be considered consumable by the general public.

The blog article from 2012 is added purely for historical reasons. As such I will ignore the comments about the file added for it.
