I wish podman-compose worked more like docker-compose. Most of my stuff works fine with either, but it's a real pain when podman-compose doesn't work. #podman #docker

I just found this website about systemd: https://systemd-by-example.com/

It's a teaching website and playground to learn how to do dependency management with systemd units.

You can follow the instructions locally with a podman container or play with how the example systemd units interact on the website.

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.

Unfortunately, I had to switch to #Docker for a personal project of mine because I could not get `podman compose` to work for me, and I ran directly into a problem with my VPN that I did not have with #Podman, which took me quite a while to figure out. The solution was to use `--network host`.

Happy to announce Podman v5.4.2! It contains a couple of bug fixes. Details: https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/tag/v5.4.2 #podman #opensource

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

Really have to get a move on migrating my self hosted #mastodon instance to a container setup. So I can terminate my #oraclecloud account.

And to #podman #quadlets, since my experiences with #podman-compose were less than fantastic.

Time is what is lacking...

Podman is getting even more Open! #opensource #podman

Huh, my (old-ish) post about #Podman #Quadlet apparently landed on the front page of Hacker News two days ago

I noticed it after seeing an unexpected spike in #OxiTraffic:
https://oxitraffic.mo8it.com

Filed a bug against #podman, where #rootless container routing (to the hosts subnet) seems to go wrong when the host ip is being assigned via dhcp using NetworkManager.

Configuring it statically makes everything work just fine. Figured it out yesterday why my containers would no longer properly work.

If I wasn't sick I'd go dig in the code, but filing this is as far as I'll go today...

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.

TIL that #Podman supports a :O option for bind mounts. It lets you mount a read-only volume into a container while making it writable inside. Under the hood, an overlay filesystem is used, and all changes are discarded when the container exits. Great stuff! #devops #homelab

Hope you can join us for the first Podman Desktop Community Meeting on Thu, Mar 27, 2025, @ 9:00 am EDT (UTC-4). Topics will include what's new in Desktop, Demos, Roadmap, and more! Details and Zoom link in the agenda! https://github.com/podman-desktop/community/issues/3 #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.

Ok, war ein schöner Nachmittag an der Konsole. Aber letztendlich läuft der forgejo-runner. Der läuft lokal auf meinem #Proxmox

Danke an @jwildeboer für seinen Blogbeitrag https://jan.wildeboer.net/2024/08/Running-a-runner-codeberg/

Couple of days ago I've learned that #podman #compose timers rely on #systemd and won't work on non-systemd systems (#guix).

I know recently timers were introduced #shepherd. Maybe it's possible to integrate them.
