  • I love the simplicity of this, I really do, but I don't consider this SSO. It may be if you're a single user, but even then, many things I'm hosting have their own authentication layer and allow offloading only to some oidc-/oauth or ldap-provider.

  • Deployment of NC on kubernetes/docker (and maintenance thereof) is super scary. They copy config files around in dockerfile, e.g., it's a hell of a mess. (And not just docker: I have one instance running on an old-fashioned webhosting with only ftp access and I have to manually edit .ini and apache config after each update since they're being overwritten.) As the documentation of OCIS is growing and it gets more features, I might actually change even the larger instances, but for now I must consider it as not feature complete (since people have expectations from nextcloud that aren't met by ocis and its extensions). Moreover, I have more trust in the long term openness of nextcloud as opposed to owncloud, for historical reasons.

  • I've spent a few minutes with it so far, still looking out for some documentation. I couldn't find a way to mount storage either way so far. Could be done with an nfs or smb share on the vm, being accessed by the phone with an appropriate app, perhaps. Also, I couldn't pass through usb, which is a real bummer...

  • I use GrapheneOS because it works better for me, but considering their personnel and how they're operating, I still would also trust Calyx. Was clearly the best choice for my fairphone back then.

  • Kubrick's version of The Shining. Most likely, I would feel differently had I not read the novel first, but the reduction of the story to a Nicholson-show pisses me off to the point where I cannot enjoy it for what it is. I'd rather endure the over four hours of less brilliant screenplay of the 1997 version.

  • I am considering switching as well, for similar reasons. What has been holding me back (besides missing time to plan and do the migration) is thst I don't quite trust ownCloud any more, and due to a lack of documentation, I would want to run it in parallel for some time to get the hang of it before migrating the other users (which adds to the time constraint).

    I'll most likely deploy using their helm chart – does anyone have any real-world experience with it?

  • Nice, thanks, again! I overlooked the dependency instructions in the container service file, which is why I wondered how the heck podman figures out the dependencies. It makes a lot of sense to do it like this, now that I think of it.

  • Awesome, so, essentially, you create a name.pod file like so:

     undefined
        
    [Unit]
    Description=Pod Description
    
    [Pod]
    # stuff like PublishPort or networking
    
    
      

    and join every container into the pod through the following line in the .container files: Pod=name.pod

    and I presume this all gets started via systemctl --user start name.service and systemd/podman figures out somehow which containers will have to be created and joined into the pod, or do they all have to be started individually?

    (Either way, I find the documentation of this feature lacking. When I tested this stuff myself, I'll look into improving it.)

    The purpose of podman quadlets?

    I'm afraid this is going to attract the "why use podman when docker exists"-folks, so let me put this under the supposition that you're already sold on (considering) using podman for whatever reason. (For me, it has been the existence of pods, to be used in situations where pods make sense, but in a non-redundant, single-node setup.)

    Now, I was trying to understand the purpose of quadlets and, frankly, I don't get it. It seems to me that as soon as I want a pod with more than one container, what I'll be writing is effectively a kubernetes configuration plus some systemd unit-like file, whereas with podman compose I just have the (arguably) simpler compose file and a systemd file (which works for all pod setups).

    I would get that it's sort of simpler, more streamlined and possibly more stable using quadlets to let systemd manage single containers instead of putting podman run commands in systemd service files. Is that all there is to it, or do people utilise quadlets as a kind of lig

    CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe as Firewall in colocation

    I have just ordered a CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe to be used as the firewall of a single server (and its IPMI) that's going to end up in a data center for colocation. I would appreciate a sanity check and perhaps some hints as I haven't had any prior experience with mikrotik and, of course, no experience at all with such a wild thing as a computer in a computer over pcie.

    My plan is to manage the router over ssh over the internet with certificates and then open the api / web-configurator / perhaps windows-thinyg only on localhost. Moreover, I was planning to use it as an ssh proxy for managing the server as well as accessing the server IPMI.

    I intend to use the pcie-connection for the communication between the server and the router and just connect the IPMI and either physical port.

    I have a (hopefully compatible) RJ45 1.25 G transceiver. Since the transceiver is a potential point of failure and loosing IPMI is worse than loosing the only
