Viele Jahre hat der #RaspberryPi mit seinem Hochverfügbarkeitsdatenträger SD durchgehalten, aber seit Mittwoch ist der gesamte Datenbestand von #FreshRSS fratze. Wer hätte das ahnen können.

Nun gut, #Restore mit #restic geht klar. Aber jetzt doch mal auf etwas redundanterem System in der schon vorhandenen #Podman Infrastruktur.

Noch länger ohne #RSS geht gar nicht, also hurtig jetzt...

#Apple tries to contain itself with lightweight #Linux #VM for #macOS
Swift-based containerization framework aims to improve performance and security
Based on #OCI images, users can run them in a wide variety of server environments and data centers using orchestration tools like #Kubernetes.
Mac devs already have options for creating #containers, including #Docker, #Podman, Orbstack & Lima. But Docker and Podman, at least in the past, have not performed particularly well.

I am migrating my whole container environment on macOS and Linux from Docker to Podman - right now I didn’t experience any issues on Linux. Do you think it will run as smoothly on macOS as well? Are there any caveats? I think Podman is a 100% replacement with more advantages than disadvantages (are there any?) Please share your opinions. #docker vs. #podman #changemymind

Saturday morning tradition: Reboot the #HomeLab.

VMs patch overnight. When I get up, I run a script to patch the host (#Debian), and reboot. On boot, after the script confirms internet access, all my #Podman #Container images are deleted and refreshed.

Since I started doing this I've improved my scripting abilities, thing are more stable and I rest a little easier knowing that if something goes wrong when I'm away my family won't be stuck without automations and services they are used to.

Huh, I've just noticed a strange property of #Docker / #Podman containers. If you start one in the simplest interactive way, e.g.

docker run --rm -it debian:stable

then the shell you get is bash – but SHELL isn't set in the environment, so if you run a subprocess that wants to spawn a subshell (like 'script'), the subshell is unexpectedly dash.

Confused me even more because 'echo $SHELL' in bash _does_ print "/bin/bash" – but it turns out that SHELL hasn't been exported to the environment, so it's just an internal shell variable!

Does anybody know of training or tutorials about #podman for users who have no Docker experience?
Everything I can find seems to be a migration guide & keeps referring back to Docker but I've never used it.

I've gone through the exercise of spinning up multiple #podman rootless containers, and I've had to use `--userns` for several containers in which a host directory is mounted as a volume.

Say I've created a `postgres` user that runs the rootless postgres container, and its id is `1004`. The postgres container user id is `1001`. Unless the ids are mapped using `--userns=keep-id:uid=1001,gid=1001`, the container will exit when trying to write to the mounted directory.

Meine Planungen für die Migrationsorgie Ostern gehen gerade den Bach runter.
Hhmpff!

TIL (today I learned) that nixery.dev is really handy to put together a #container #image on the fly, i.e. you only specify the #nix packages you would like inside the image:

podman run -ti --rm nixery.dev/git/bash/go bash

(and you get an image with git, bash and go)

Estoy experimentando con el CMS #Ghost. Si queréis instalar el contenedor #Docker sobre #Podman en #Fedora, este es el comando que mejor me ha ido hasta ahora:

podman run -d --name nombre-contenedor --userns=keep-id -e NODE_ENV=development -e url=http://localhost:3001 -p 3001:2368 -v /ruta/dentro/de/tu/directorio/personal:/var/lib/ghost/content:Z docker.io/ghost

Seems that most important part of Minecraft server article was first sentence about FreeBSD Jails security.

After lots of questions on Hacker News/Lobsters I decided to add 'UPDATE 1' about it.

From last week's Linux Update newsletter: Koen Vervloesem shows you how to manage containers with MicroOS, Cockpit, and Podman

We will hold the Podman Community Meeting in 24 hours. Since we still have room on our agenda, feel free to add a Demo or Topic if you have one! Hope to see you there! https://hackmd.io/fc1zraYdS0-klJ2KJcfC7w?both #podman #opensource

And another system and container update has broken nextcloud-aio on podman completely.

Container's start script can't resolve DNS, even when explicitly given a --dns=1.1.1.1

No issues with othe containers. Nextcloud-aio tries to configure a lot networking stuff itself...

This is the part of self-hosting that sucks.
