@cmccullough @centos @almalinux Try AlmaLinux. Stable, rock solid. Works like a charm.
(Or go immutable with #Fedora #CoreOS or #openSUSE #MicroOS)
I've been running openSUSE MicroOS as a container host on a Raspberry Pi 4 for about a week now, without any trouble.
Transactional Updates (snapshots) has been working flawlessly, nothing unusual in the logs, CPU and memory usage looks similar to other OS's on the same hardware.
Anything else I should consider before moving this server out of testing?
Ive built a setup for hosting websites which consists of:
* Host running #microos with #podman
* #Treafik and #sshpiper at the edge
* #Nginx, php-fpm, #mariadb + phpmyadmin + nginx or #postgres + dbadmin, openssh for each site
It actually works quite well, openssh keybased access is to transfer files into the containers, traefik does the reverse proxying.
I'm just wondering if its a sustainable and maintainable setup. Sometimes just going with a "standard" solution seems so much easier.
@paulk #Leap or #Tumbleweed – or something fancier like #MicroOS? I’m a long-time fan of #openSUSE myself, and particularly of stable Leap.
From last week's Linux Update newsletter: Koen Vervloesem shows you how to manage containers with MicroOS, Cockpit, and Podman

I had to refrain from calling "Bingo", because I had anticipated that question. But it is an obvious question that deserves an answer. I also had to stop myself from quoting Shakespeare ("There more things ...").
In my case it boils down to this:
1. I have been experimenting with using #NixOS on my laptop, where I do all of my (private) things. I also have home-manager on my work laptop.
I can almost do all of the things I can on my #openSUSE #Tumbleweed laptop. This includes packaging for openSUSE.
But I have not converted all of my 3 dozen different VMs, servers, raspis, NUCs and whatnot to NixOS. They will keep running a mixture of immutable (openSUSE #MicroOS, #Fedora #CoreOS, NixOS, ...) and non-immutable things (Debian, Proxmox, ...). And I would like to be able to manage them from whatever host I am currently working from. Hence I would like to have a working Ansible environment on my NixOS laptop to manage other machines with.
Odd. On #SuSE #MicroOS my #podman #containers suddenly aren't able to reach the internet anymore.
When checking the routes with `podman unshare --rootless-netns ip r s` i'm also missing everything except the local podman network.
To my knowledge #opensuse is not yet available as images with rpm-ostree layer. Though I think this development and #bootc are big advantage for organisations who already work with containers. It is also an advantage for organisations that would require more than one image for different ministries/departments/user groups.
I have followed the development on #MicroOS and @kalpa . It was still beta last time I checked. It works differently.
Ja está el nou servidor a ple rendiment amb tots els serveis en marxa sobre #openSuse amb #MicroOS i els serveis corrent amb #Portainer sobre #Podman
