Reaching out to people who now how to shrink non-Android JARs after the fact (this is for Fabric-modded Minecraft).

This is for containerization. I've done the low-hanging fruit (small base images, multi-stage build, small JVM with jlink), and I'm down to an image size of ca 550 MiB. The JARs in the image are the biggest size contributor, and I don't know what to do further. Any help is appreciated :)

Is it even possible to have a Dockerfile `ENV` default to a build argument?

So I've used docusign and pandadoc in the past for my businesses contracts and although they're okay it made sense finding a #SelfHosted alternative considering we run our own #servers

I come across https://www.docuseal.com/ not long ago and added it to our #docker instance and wow! It's good for a freebie.

Just thought I'd share this in case anyone resorts to looking on the #fediverse for alternatives to DocuSign, etc

alias docker=podman works surprisingly well so far

Ich hab eine #Docker compose YAML mit #wordpress & mariadb, mit der ich meinen Blog auf meinem NAS laufen lasse.

Wie ist jetzt die best practice für Wordpress-Updates? Nie über UI updaten, immer übers Image?

Das ist aktuell wordpress:latest, sollte ich das auf eine Version fixen?

Some how I am very envious of the 60MB RAM footprint while booting into a #linode #vps. The best I could get onto my #homelab is 300MB usage on a #Ubuntu cloud image. This is unfortunately the same as my desktop #ArchLinux with #KDE running.

The Ubuntu server image idled at 600MB RAM usage with #docker & #sshd. The culprits using most ram are #snapd & #multipathd.

GTS-HolMirDas v1.2.1 Released - Important Bugfixes

Fixed some critical issues that prevented the RSS-based content discovery from working properly. Thanks for sharing, @christian

What's Fixed:

• Inline Comment Support: Fixed parsing of RSS feeds file when using inline comments
• Control Character Error: Resolved "URL can't contain control characters" error caused by comments in same line as URLs
• RSS File Parsing: Comments after # are now properly stripped from URLs

Update Instructions:

# Download latest version
wget https://git.klein.ruhr/matthias/gts-holmirdas/raw/v1.2.1/gts_holmirdas.py

# Restart your container
docker compose restart gts-holmirdas

Schedulers as #containers? Yes! With #SchedKit, you can download, run, and attach custom #schedulers using #Docker, #Podman, or #containerd. All made possible by #eBPF and sched_ext. Watch this #oSC25 video to learn more. https://youtu.be/_pKuF8y-2bM?si=bYEpm9hHpg4Gfk_H

Hätte ich mal früher auf Docker Hub geschaut, dass man die Plugins in den Container einbauen kann. Hab mir einen eigenen Docker Container gebaut, was total unnötig war.

Hab mal einen Github Fork angelegt damit die Plugins in OpenwebRX auch dann noch funktionieren wenn die Quelle weg ist.

W końcu odkryłem, jak uruchomić poprawnie powłokę z kontenera Dockera, i dałem instrukcje, jak powtórzyć problem na #Gentoo. I okazało się to zaskakująco proste:

The new Kubernetes mount-an-OCI-artifact feature got me thinking about backups, layers, data locality, and deduplication via CAS.

Imagine using image layers as snapshots and pushing images as your application's data backup. Then by specifying latest* for the volume mount it would automatically come up with eagerly-cached, local data.

I don't think CAS helps our case for storage here as a layer-snapshot mapping isn't granular enough. Of course it's not like you'd want to redesign your Postgres paging configuration entirely around a better mapping to image layers but there's something there...

Registry-side you could do periodic compaction, archival, export etc.

OCI image layers are already limited though last time I checked. Nix maps derivations (think packages) to layers and neither OCI nor the tooling were designed for that kind of blowout. Could be tackled though.

*yes yes, anti pattern. Hold ur underwear a moment.

Finally found a working #meshtastic bot that responds to several commands sent over the air, including ping, sysinfo, weather, and bbs services.

Did not test it thoroughly, but looks pretty impressive so far.

And it is installable via #docker image.
