Recently, I’ve written a blog post on how to set up Rootless Docker on Alpine Linux. Today I’m showing you how to set up Podman. Podman has a rootless architecture built in. It’s an alternative to Docker, providing an almost identical command line interface. Thus, if you’re used to Docker CLI, you won’t have any issues working with Podman. Podman was initially developed by RedHat and is available as an open source project....
As of Docker Engine v20.10, it’s possible to run the Docker daemon as a non-root user (Rooless mode). This is especially valuable in view of security aspects. Rootless mode mitigates potential vulnerabilities in the Docker daemon. However, at the time of writing, setting up Docker in rootless mode is not straightforward if you’re using Alpine Linux as your host system. This is why I summarized the steps to get Docket Rootless up and running on Alpine Linux....
I’ve recently written a tutorial which will guide you through setting up a Kubernetes cluster using K3S with virtual machines hosted at Hetzner, a German (Cloud) hosting provider. The tutorial uses K3S, a lightweight Kubernetes distribution which is perfectly suited for small VMs like Hetzner’s CX11. Additionally, the tutorial will show you how to set up Hetzner’s cloud load balancer which performs SSL offloading and forwards traffic to your Kubernetes system....
I’m a convinced user of OneDrive Personal. Bundled with M365, it’s a cheap option to get 1 TB of cloud storage. Having plenty of cloud storage at hand, I’m also using my OneDrive to run automated backups of my servers. There are various solutions capable of uploading files to OneDrive, including rclone. However, I was looking for a solution which enables me to grant my backup script only access to one specific folder instead of my entire cloud drive – better safe than sorry....
My DSL provider TAL.de offers to assign a static and a dynamic IP address on PPPoE dial in. The dynamic IP address is the primary one, used for accessing the internet. Packets to the static IP address are routed to the router as well. Here’s how to set up things up on a Unifi Security Gateway (USG). By default, USG only allows for one IP address when dialing in via PPPoE....
Recently, I wrote about the availability of the 64 bit beta version of Raspberry Pi OS (formerly known as Raspbian). Unfortunately, the new 64 bit beta is only available in the Desktop variant, containing lots of packages most lightweight server systems won’t need. There’s no lite variant of the 64 bit beta version available at the time of writing. However, you can easily remove the Desktop packages from a running installation with two easy commands....
Traefik is a Cloud Native Edge Router, often deployed in Docker and Kubernetes environments. With little effort, you can use Telegraf to transport Traefik’s access logs to an InfluxDB, where it can be analyzed using Grafana. This setup contains the following elements: Traefik v2 runs as a Docker container on a Linux host. Traefik outputs access logs in JSON format to STDOUT. Telegraf fetched the Traefik container’s JSON output using the docker_log input plugin....
I’ve been using Endomondo for years to track my trainings. However, I’ve been experiencing a lot of issues with Endomondo over the last months: Sometimes it’s not possible to log in. Other times, my trainings won’t get synced. So it’s time a new app. I’ve decided to give Strava a try. With a few lines of code, I’ve managed to export all my training data as GPX files. These can be imported to Strava, so my training history won’t get lost....
Here’s something that’s probably been eagerly-awaited not only by me: Finally, Raspberry Pi 4 can boot directly from USB devices. Without any of the widespread workarounds which require an SD card a primrary boot medium. This is made possible by a new firmware, the so-called EEPROM. Furthermore, a new 64 bit beta version of Raspberry OS is available, too (formerly known as Raspbian). To get started, boot your Raspberry Pi with a Raspbian or Raspberry OS installation....
Im ersten Teil dieses Artikels habe ich Euch gezeigt, wie Ihr ein Multi-Arch-Docker-Projekt anlegt, das auf einer AMD64-Plattform auch für andere Zielarchitekturen wie bspw. ARM bauen kann. In diesem Teil zeige ich Euch, wie Ihr das Ganze im offiziellen Docker Hub zum Laufen bekommt. Zunächst solltet Ihr ein Projekt im Docker Hub anlegen und dieses mit Eurem Quellcode-Repository verknüpfen. In meinem Fall nutze ich GitHub als Sourcecode-Repository und nutze die Build-Infrastruktur von Docker Hub....
