It’s been a while! Let us know what you’re currently working on, what exploded, what cool stuff you found, or just brag that everything is running fine unattended.
I haven’t been doing a lot, renovate auto upgrades for patches and sometimes minor updates work great so far. I got involved in my union to spin up a mastodon server soon, so there’s a new project, but I already run mastodon so it shouldn’t be much of a deal, I just need to get comfortable with the infrastructure. I also set up ntfy but only sent some test notifications and didn’t configure any app yet - planned for Element Chat.
[Meta] I’m not sure how to apply the new tags. In the recent versions of this thread, people sometimes posted about their ollama setup or the like, but I’m not mentioning AI in the post body (except this meta thingy) and it shouldn’t be much of the discussion, but it’s an open post. Maybe curbstickle can chime in to let me know if I should apply one of them.


I started playing around with RedHat Cockpit as a potential podman-based replacement to my disorganized docker server. Only got a jellyfin instance running on at the moment, sharing the same network disk as my “production” jellyfin server.
So far, I am not impressed. There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to preserve settings when I want to update the image, which is one of the main reasons I want to migrate. I’d like to have a weekly cron job that checks for new
latestimages, and updates them automatically, ideally without me having to intervene, but that doesn’t seem like something cockpit can do. If I want to update a container image through the GUI, it seems like I have to recreate it from scratch.
