I don't like their idea of what a docker-compose replacement should be. And reading issues and limitations about podman pod commands is very discouraging. I would love to hear what others are using and their experiences though. I avoid anything Kubernetes because of a personal bias.
Here's the scene: Most of the web projects I work on will never have a billion users. They might have 5, or 10. One or two have thousands. Several of them have 1 (me).
Docker-compose works for me. I set up a container for my backend, a container for whatever's serving the static resources for the frontend, and a container for whatever databases are needed (Postgres, Redis, whatever). The databases get a filesystem volume mount that I can snapshot off the disk with a nightly cron job.
I have a script that will transform a brand shiny new $5/mo DigitalOcean Ubuntu image into a machine with nginx+LetsEncrypt for SSL termination, and with Docker and docker-compose installed (and the Docker port firewalled off, natch). From there, I run "docker-compose up -d" and my project fires up and goes. Maybe I have to edit a line or two in the nginx.conf that my script put in place.
To deploy, I do a local build on my laptop (or Jenkins for a few projects where it makes sense) via a script that pushes the built containers to Docker Hub, and runs docker-compose pull on the host.
This has served me beautifully.
I've looked at Kube more than once. It looks cool for things dramatically bigger than what I'm working on. For something that isn't massive scale, it's bloody complicated. If one of these projects ever gets to the point where a $40/mo DigitalOcean box can't handle the load, I'll probably look at it again. Until then, though, it feels like a very expensive (time-wise) premature optimization.
I like the sound of how you have that set up, do you know any good open source repositories that are designed the way you describe that I could look at for learning purposes?
(I mean, projects that set up containers for backend, database, and front-end servers and push them to digitalocean etc.. I can imagine how each piece works, but I'd love to see how a coherent and manageable project in that style is organized as a whole.)
Hmmmm... I can't say I've ever looked a whole lot. Based on the replies in this thread though, I should probably just take the scripts I've got, make sure there's nothing sensitive in there, and throw them up on Github. Maybe I'll strip my SSH pubkey out of the too, so that we don't end up with a bunch of servers that I can log into :D
Haha awesome not often people comment on it.. a previous employer did some work on Radarsat-1 so the name was floating around in my circles a couple of decades ago when I was starting to make music and post on forums, I just started using it without much thought and it stuck
Seconded, I work on a lot of little toy projects, and host them all on a super cheap vps. Only thing i'd mainly say is different is I have a docker-compose project consisting of jwilder/nginx-proxy, a bind server, and a log processing server. Each project I have to add the virtual network of that composes. But then its all handled.
Out of curiosity, have you ever used Traefik? At work we're using Docker Swarm (because we needed more power than a single server could give us but Kubernetes seemed excessive) with Traefik and it works beautifully.
Hey Unicornfinder. Please join us at the community forum if you haven't already. And, thanks for the mention! We hope to get to know you more, on the forum. https://community.containo.us
Like I said it's a personal bias, mainly about Google. The only time I had to use it was with RH's cloud and if it wasn't for their good documentation I would have dropped the client. Everytime I looked under the hood it reminded why I hate being a developer around 35% of the time.
But also a pretty solid testament to the credit of RedHat's documentation, which I'll echo myself. My OpenShift experience is limited to 2017, but I've never heard anything but positive things about OpenShift's documentation, and I heard it has moved a lot closer to mainline Kubernetes since.
As a huge proponent of kubernetes for the enterprise world (a big part of my day job), I won’t touch it for small to medium sized projects.
The cost of running a managed kubernetes is too expensive to justify for the benefits in these cases. And if you choose to self-manage to cut the money cost, it ends up being significantly more expensive from a time and sanity perspective.
What are the costs of a managed Kubernetes? I don't know if I understand what you mean, because most managed Kubernetes that I know are practically not, or just nominally more expensive in terms of resource cost. Like GKE, AKS, you don't pay for manager nodes, so it's actually a cost savings compared to running your own Kubernetes with kubespray or another method that leaves managing the control plane nodes up to you - managed Kubernetes is actually cheaper, if you're building for high availability.
Are you referring to the cost of migration (since most Kubernetes adopters are probably also learning K8s for the first time as well?)
>GStreamer is intended to be a swiss army knife of multimedia, PipeWire is meant to be much lower level, more like what alsa-lib, JACK or libv4l2 provides.
>PipeWire is a project that aims to greatly improve handling of audio and video under Linux. It aims to support the usecases currently handled by both PulseAudio and Jack and at the same time provide same level of powerful handling of Video input and output. It also introduces a security model that makes interacting with audio and video devices from containerized applications easy, with supporting Flatpak applications being the primary goal. Alongside Wayland and Flatpak we expect PipeWire to provide a core building block for the future of Linux application development.
If only they could help us, Firefox supporters, by stopping with the stupid market campaigns that only damages the brand. And the amount of nagging features are becoming too much. Even with my huge user.js it's like every couple of updates I have to disable something. Last week was the extensions recommendations inside about:addons, and I already had disabled "Recommend extensions when I'm browsing". The other was an icon (Firefox Sync?) added to every single browser install I manage and a tab asking me to login.
How about a do-not-nag-me flag?
In my case it's for my local development environment. I also have personal projects and I do freelancing so I was tired of having multiple computers and using virtual machines.
Getting my pc compromised in any way. My data is very important for me, both personal and from clients. Or an attacker gaining access to my accounts or servers.
I also don't like telemetry but that's outside this topic I guess.
WSL 2 requires Hyper-V. I wouldn't enable that even if you pay me. Windows already crashes too much, when you add Hyper-V to the mix it's a nightmare. I don't know how what or why it just screwed any PC I enabled it. I could swear my PC also became slower but I don't have any data to back that claim.

Android is open source but without Gapps you can't use 90% of the mainstream apps or certain features (Google Play Services, Frameworks or whatever it's called now). That's why Android without Google is a complete pain, and why microG exists. We're already locked in.
nowadays they seem to make it a hobby to make negative headlines at least once every quarter. I fear there will be no negative repercussions for the leadership.
Basically, the management set their own salaries, the entire work force gets a 40% yearly bonus, and they have no one from the outside to report to.
On top of all of this, the money flows regardless of what anyone is doing. (While there is a yearly loss of 10% of their users, the past deal with Verizon made them very rich, so they can go like this for years). Revenue has been only going up, despite a loss of absolute users. So this explains why they continue to do bad things even though outside observes can not understand - during the last 5 years losing users did not impact their financials in any meaningful way. While people were complaining and users leaving the product, revenue was increasing.
They do take care of their employees with lots of benefits and other stuff, so as an employee you don't want to risk all that with speaking up against your superior.
Over the years they have created a company culture where there are endless number of small teams doing irrelevant stuff, with absurd hierarchies, with some people doing no work at all. With 16 people in the upper management, there's also fragmentetion of decision making going on. It's all a bit headless.
Due to the complicated hierarchies in the company everyone is content with doing just enough to not make life harder for anyone else - suggest to change things fundamentally and actually work on delivering a great product and you will not get very far.
