heads up: coming a little late to the party, but just in case you have missed it like I did during the holiday season:

On August 28th, will be deprecating the majority of their 200+ debian based images (and helm charts) for various services (tomcat, kafka, you name it) and strip it down to only about 40.

May hit you hard (on your vaccation) if your builds depend on those images ...

github.com/bitnami/containers/

📢 Overview As of August 28th, 2025, the Bitnami public catalog will undergo the following changes: Community catalog Disable images generation for Debian-based images and gradually move existing on...

Yeah... so #Podman is defo not ready for show time.

"Rootless containers unable to be assigned static IP addresses" (I need it because the NginX address resolver takes too long... intermittent 502 reasons)

github.com/containers/podman/i (Bug reported 2020!)

I am beginning to suspect folks who are enthusiastic about #Podman are enthusiastic about the CONCEPT of Podman, not its production suitability.

#podmancompose always seems to be the showstopper.

I have invested a lot of time into Podman... but I may need to go back to #Docker and just screw down the containers to minimse #sploits

For anyone who wants to self-host their catalog of book video game or movie collections, Koillection is a good open-source option.

It can also be installed using Docker, which can speed up the setup process.

I've only been using this tool for a couple of days, and it looks promising. The only thing that doesn't seem very intuitive at the moment is the scraping system, although its developer has commented on GitHub that they are working on it.

koillection.github.ioKoillectionA self-hosted website to manage all your collections.

Just spent some hours writing down an #ansible playbook to deploy a custom image of #docker-volume-backup, properly built by my (self-hosted) #gitlab_ci , to backup the three persistent volumes required by my (self-hosted) #passbolt instance, sending the backup to a remote #rsync server, where underlying #zfs will take care to snapshot and keep safely.

Bonus: during backup, required containers are stopped, and started afterwords.

...and (incredibly/amazingly!) it worked!

Time to relax :-)

Continued thread

Okay so like, there are multiple interfaces and they are all distinct/unique:

  • GUI: Graphical User Interface, i.e. the apps that are graphically drawn on screen and can be interacted with using a mouse, like browsers, media, games (etc)
  • CLI: Command Line Interface, i.e. 'the terminal', where characters are displayed and commands typed for interactions.
  • TUI: Terminal User Interface: Is a mix of the first two, where characters are used within a terminal to imitate graphics, using hotkeys over typed commands.

(There are more, but these are three common ones)

So GUI != CLI != TUI :neocat_thumbsup:

Hey fedi-admins, what's your recommended GUI option for k8s administration?

Specifically looking for something with a low barrier to entry, as it's intended for the devs in my team who have minimal ops/infra experience.

We've been looking at 'Portainer' as the combination of easy management, stack deploys and RBAC quite appealing, but the way they're aggressively pushing the paid version... not so much.

I just figured out the dev experience in #rails console Even with my years of experience in #Ruby on #Rails I've never run rails console out of a #docker container. But there is autocompletation in rails console, in all my experience I've never seen that. I don't know if it's a rails 8 feature or is because I don't using docker now.

A new blog post where I discuss how sanity prevailed and I will NOT install my own Lemmy instance. But! Now I'm tempted to set up something else. Thankfully reality for now is disrupting my fanciful plans.

Vielleicht mag sich ja mal ein/e Wissende/r im Bereich Docker aeussern:

Die Wissenschaftler haben hier eine Software-Sammlung, die sie auf einen NFS-Share pflegen.
Das ist immer ein ziemlicher Sackstand mit den Versionen etc... Teilweise wird uralte Software genutzt, wo ich schon Sicherheitsbedenken habe...

Ist es sinnvoll, sowas in Docker Container zu packen? Damit sollten die jeweiligen Wissenschaftler und Projekte ja eigentlich dann unabhaengig voneinander und das Ganze gekapselt sein?

Gibt es eventuell auch Handreichungen/Vortraege dazu, wie man von einem solchen Softwarestack sinnvoll zu #Docker migrieren kann?

"If you're looking to optimize your containerization workflow, here's the good news - the ecosystem has evolved far beyond Docker's original design.

Docker revolutionized software deployment by making containerization a standard, but the ecosystem has grown to address specific use cases that Docker wasn't originally designed for. Modern alternatives like Podman, containerd, and CRI-O offer specialized features like daemonless designs, rootless operations, and native Kubernetes integration. These tools don't just offer incremental improvements, but instead they represent fundamental shifts in how we think about container security, performance, and workflow integration.

The container ecosystem has matured beyond Docker's monolithic approach, with specialized runtimes optimizing for specific use cases. Whether you're running microservices in production, developing locally, or managing enterprise workloads, there's likely a tool that's better suited to your specific requirements.

In this guide, I'll walk you through the most promising Docker alternatives in 2025 and help you choose the right tool for your specific needs."
