Oo - this foss thing is just redhat content??

Depends on what you’d want. A dockerfile defines how the image is built. If you want to mimic this then you need scripts.

But I think you could benefit from learning how docker works from the ground up if you want to recreate docker inages in lxc.

Better use is a dedicated docker host (a vm) and run your non-docker on lxc. Treat lxc as a minimal vm for one ( or a few) services/apps per lxcontainer

That depend on how much work you have to do to keep it working.

Let’s take a fairly common webserver like Caddy. Now you can install this through docker, or natively on linux.

If the app only exists as docker image then it cones down to your ability or recreating what the dockerfile does to get it installed on your lxc container.

Fun fact: early editions of docker used lxc for its containers.

Lastly there is podman that some people love for container management. It’s not my cup of tea, but it might fit you.

Install on a vm though, not lxc

Backup of docker would either be full host - for a simple and inflexible setup, or you do data and config backup (volumes mounted in docker), and rely on docker rebuilding the images.

This last type is more overhead in configuration of backup, but you can restore your containers on any host, individually

There are big differences between these two technologies. LXC is closer to a virtual machine than a docker setup. You could mimic most of a dockerfile if you wanted, but it’s not a replacement.

Most of us will use a mix og docker-hosts(vm’s running docker) and lxc. Reasons for this is that some stuff is easier to maintain in docker as it’s the preferred release channel.

You can also move vm’s to other datacenter hosts if needed - and with shared storage this is quick and mean no downtime. Lxc are stuck on the host.

So someone is paying - theres allways a cost

Like most things in life theres no free cpu cycles. They all have a cost somehow

OOM_DISABLE on $PID or echo -17 > /proc/$PID/oom_adj

Or you can use something like caddy that will set up certs automatically using tls-alpn-01 challenge, so no need for dns challenge .

What kind of work do you do?

The cat had its cheezeburger in 2007…

Not sure if by notification but last.fm will even give you heads up when music you listen to is in concerts. And supports scrobbling in many apps

Perhaps you can rewrite but that would have to include both ways + html source.

Best bet is serve at what path it prefers or can be configured to

I like caddy for flexibility and ease with handle_parh. I believe there was some example on the tailscale website for a tcp caddy proxy.

Some sites cant be rewritten and have to be served on their expected path. Like some http file will refer to a css or something with absolute path.

Also you can get chatgpt or similar help you and ask it to explain whats being done and why. Just be stern and let it know what you’re using for software + versions. They know a lot of old shit too these LLMs

It can be done but I’d advice to rather set up a reverse proxy and funnel that. Then set up your reverse proxy accordingly.

Issue with the funnel is that its reverse proxy is a bit limited in rewriting. So if your service has a native url of 127.0.0.1:8000/service1 then you serve it under /service1

If you have several services that expects to be served at root you might find it difficult to do this way. Some services might have “url/path” option in config for this purpose. In that case you enter the url you want to use for your service and it will behave.

Printing is a bitch no matter the platform and its usually the producers of the printers that fail. Everyone wants to make their own standard or interpret any standard in their own way. Duplex settings? Sometimes easy to find, and sometimes called something else and put in a weird spot of the interface.

Basic printing to usb is fine on Linux. My pi zero hooked to a brother laser has been providing wifi printing for me for the last 5 years. Installed cups and connected the usb and it was rocking

Nice

But its backed by real hard facts and sourced from one of the smallest neckbeards ever.

I like zabbix. It can monitor what ever i like, using snmp, ipmi, rest apis or its own agent.

I have a team member insisting on using netdata, but outside of the nice dashboard it doesn’t provide anything. It is local only, and setting up alarms is a pain. And tbh it nags more than canonical stuff
