  Have you used it for this lately?

  I want to believe it used to be okay for this, but just yesterday I uses it to generate some pretty basic bash and I’m honestly not convinced it saved me any time after I cleaned it all up and actually made it functional

  What? Gitea. Gitlab is a complete devops platform. Awesome, but complete overkill.

  Why? Because I regularly commit code atrocities and have a hard enough time dealing with imposter syndrome, I don’t need to add public shaming on top of it (And just data sovereignty I guess)

  Basically I ran into issues with building images from newer and more complex compose files that podman-compose just couldn’t pull apart.

  Docker is still the go-to if you want shit to ‘just work’, it has an easier user experience, it’s what the vast majority of developers building containers are using. You can run rootless if you want without too much pain.

  It has come a long way but the probability that you’ll run into some random edge case or other issue with podman is higher, podman-compose has some thorns (high likelihood you’ll need to hack on compose files), if you want containers to start without your interaction you have to bake up systemd unit files for them, etc. I’ve not messed with podman-kube-play - wasn’t even aware of it, so can’t really comment as to how well that works.

  There’s nothing to lose by giving it a go except your sanity and time. 😁

  Totally respect that, I question my sanity frequently

  Container host started life as rocky, I honestly can’t remember why I switched distros The KVM host also hosts a bunch of other random stuff, Debian running on Rocky is just the tip of the junkpile

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey selfhosters, what are you selfhosting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I know a lot more about self hosting than I did a month ago that’s for sure, I wonder how long until I start trying to use ssh in my dreams.

  Now that you’ve written this? Tonight. It’ll happen tonight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey selfhosters, what are you selfhosting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Docker is still what 95% of people think of when you talk containers and you may encounters issues, particularly running things rootlessly as it’s not a use-case that developers necessarily support. Not to discourage you at all, experimentation is great, but be prepared for thorns. 👍

  Nice - what are you using to cache windows updates? LANcache?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey selfhosters, what are you selfhosting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Mainly selected podman for the security, it doesn’t rely on a daemon and supported rootless containers before docker did. Easy to just come up with a pattern where you can minimise the risk of container breakout by having a user for each container stack to provide even more isolation. You can do the same with docker these days I think, each user just runs their own copy of the docker daemon. The aim of the project was to achieve 1:1 compatibility, I think it’s pretty close these days. It’s also native to the Redhat family so could avoid using the community edition of Docker.

  It really comes down to what value you assign to having private email storage… unless you’re having GPG encrypted convos, its probably pretty moot anyway as one side is going to have a copy of the email trail and theres a 98% probability its google, microsoft or …yahoo I guess?

  I might be talking myself out of this, this is now a therapy session

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using NGINX as a stream proxy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I shell out ~$3 per month for the privilege of indulging in the insanity of self hosting email.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using NGINX as a stream proxy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I see you, fellow data sovereignty aficionado.

  My first thought would be to try and set up iptables/nftables forwarding for this.

  Personally I opted to just use my VPS as a MITM mail relay and just forward inbound mail for my domains to my own on-prem dovecot instance.

  …your way is probably easier

  I come to the fediverse for a bit of interaction with humans, or at least observe a bit of discourse 😅 I just unsubbed from another community because it was non-stop bot links. I have RSS for that, don’t need it in my lemmy feed too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there an easy way for non-technical experts to set up their own Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey. I did this, I self host a lot of stuff and at some point it just became my default setting. In this case though I dont think its really that valuable unless you’re planning on hosting your own communities and moderate users and whatnot which comes with its own admin burden. Not to deter you or anything. I used a modified docker compose, so you’d need some way to host lemmy, lemmy’s UI server and a database backend, and a reverse proxy in front… DNS and SSL certificates… Its kinda intermediate to highly technical to host your own I guess? Would I recommend it to someone not technical? No, unless you were really keen and looking for a project to expand your skills a bit. 😉
