Thanks for the issue... looks like codeberg pages service is down :(

Hmm I see.. Probably because popularity is either Debian or RHEL forks when it comes to servers.. Yeah that's the good thing about open source is inter-compatibility I guess.

BTW this Alpine thing is still under testing personally.. I still need to achieve long term stability. I still am hopeful after what I've been reading from other's experiences.. Thanks!

I've always relied on Docker Hub and compose files (shared on the project page there), and never really delved deeper. It's nice to hear recent Podman on the next release.. So maybe it'll become a viable option again. I read that RHEL (and folks) is the standard, for Podman. But lately they have been riddled with licensing issues and big corporate nonsense, and found Alpine instead..

Well, hear me out.. This is a self-hosted sub, I just run an *arr suite (lets face it, many here are), and do so in containers.. They are not really distributed as packages AFAIK..

BTW my main nitpick of Debian is the outdated Podman packages.. it wasn't practical to run it there. Otherwise I too was content with Debian. I did mention this.

I guess you can take more risks if you know what you're doing :P

yeah, but any update failure of a container is less fatal. and only affects the isolated service.. it's way easy to manage this situation than an unbootable server.

Hi, I have a home server (basically a NAS) currently running Debian. Basically it's configuration is as follows

  • debian host running 3 VMs

  • debian running inside each VM as docker host

I just manually install KVM on the host then docker on each VM after creating each of them. I documented the process so I know how to replicate it in case I need to rebuild.

I now dream of being able to automate the rebuild process using config files. I know this is done using Ansible.

But I've now heard of Talos.. (A thin layer for kubernetes) and intrigued. But I suppose I need a setup for the VM host to achieve automation through config files..

What setup are you guys using?

Thank you.


Thanks for all your suggestions! I've chosen to go with just bash scripting (given my simple setup) and keep the setup as it is.. Just gotta learn bash and virsh :)

 

For folks that are unable to port forward on the local router (eg CGNAT) I made this post on doing it via a VPS. I've scoured the internet and didn't find a complete guide.
