🚀 Ah, yes, the groundbreaking innovation of running Linux containers on #macOS using Swift—because what better way to assert dominance than by shoving penguins into an Apple-shaped prison? 🍏🐧 Meanwhile, #GitHub is busy selling #AI snake oil to help you "write better code," because your code was definitely the problem, not the entire tech industry’s obsession with reinventing the wheel. 🛞🔄

Podman can run container images that were build for Docker. Did you know that? It doesnt end there though, the podman command-line is designed to be near identical to dockers, to make it easy for folks who want to switch, and the podman-docker compatibility package makes it even easier. Check it out now on episode 110 of Into the Terminal!

Moving from docker to podman might sound daunting, if you're looking for some examples of the podman docker compatibility layer, check out this episode of Into the Terminal!

Can podman actually replace docker? Check out episode 110 of Into the Terminal, where I'm demonstrating just how easy it is to switch!

@ubuntu #LinuxContainers; of course, i'm a mere benign #HomeLab 'er, who runs a PiHole container, and a #Nextcloud VM (a full vm, because i need encrypted [meta-]data at rest, for my highly personal files and documents - that pesky privacy thing) 😉

@ubuntu #LinuxContainers; it's the old thing about "credentials you have" versus "credentials you KNOW"! AFAIK, passwords "i know" (human brain storage) is more secure than "credentials i have".

I DO NOT want ANYONE, with access to my browser (and its imported cert), to have full root access to all my containers/VMs!🧵

@ubuntu #LinuxContainers; currently (in the noble server RC), i have to import an auth cert into my browser, in order to be granted access to the fancy new web GUI of #lxd

Here's the #threatModel; everyone, who can access my browser, WILL have full root access (via terminal or console) to all my containers (or VMs).

That's why i'd prefer some kind of session-based auth - you know, a "logout" button.🧵

Bumbling around with pre-release preview ISOs of #Ubuntu #Server #Noble #LTS (24.04); i think i'll wait those few days, till the actual public release, and test again.

#Incus, the "more FLOSSy"(?) fork of Canonical #LXD (afaik), will be available via apt/deb repos, also.

That Browser-Cert-based auth bothers me - i want a proper session-based "login/logout"! (i want to log out of "full root access to everything" - it's a peace of mind thing) ← @ubuntu, Cc: #LinuxContainers

edit: It's a thread🧵

I'm slowly catching up with the implications of Canonical's move to pull #LXD out of the #linuxcontainers project. That's a problem since it will only increase entanglement with Canonical's tools and services. I followed some of the tutorials by @stgraber, who now works on Incus the non-entangled alternative to LXD. I also understand that Ubuntu FAN doesn't have a place in this ecosystem. I've now decided to look for a new design of my cluster using #Debian and #incus.

A CLA? Really? No thanks to anything Canonical anymore.

Ok, so having a virtual machine or even an LXC to spin docker containers inside is a little bit weird. LXC containers are like docker, but better... I'm thinking about having a separate Linux container for each service.

For now, I have a database as a service inside LXC and a VM for all other things in Docker, restored from a backup from the times before the #Proxmox =)

Will migrate all my services from docker to Linux containers one by one.

Not an exhaustive list but common ones I have seen/heard of. How turtley are you? 🐢

Am trying to do some silly networking with #LXC (or #linuxcontainers, I don't know which of these people look at), and am struggling a bit lol.

Working on a set of tasks grouped under the title "Upgrade Python 3.7 apps to DotNet 6". Good luck wiping the smile from my face.

@xyhhx @cyberfarmer This page on the Arch wiki is certainly a good resource that I've used:

And this seems to be a very detailed write-up but I have to damit that I've just glossed over it:
