There _is_ Podman Desktop extension for Apple Containers, however its socktainer version is ancient.

OTOH couldn't it be done with Cloudflare Zero Trust ?

Have the GH Pages (sub)domain proxied with CF, protect the URL with Zero Trust, for SSO itself there are several IdP available [0]. First 50 users are not billed.

Re:Cockpit: Web-based graphical interface for servers on Monday October 16, 2023 @04:37AM (#37897134)
IMHO that depends on couple of factors and use case, and I am happily running either on two different NASes.

OMV: -- has Docker plugin with Compose support (no need for sep. Docker GUI like Portainer) -- SMB shares are (somehow) more reliable on Win clients -- has more beginner friendly GUI and attitude, easier to share with other users -- batteries-included features like fail2ban + Wireguard

Cockpit: -- first class citizen on EL / Fedora distros -- Podman yes, Docker no - no Compose/Quadlet support -- killer features like VM managements and Terminal -- bugs with Samba

Re:On Replacing My MacBook Air M1 with a ThinkPad T480 on Tuesday February 21, 2023 @05:29AM (#34879303)
I have both T480 and M1Pro 14", and let me tell you once you go Mac, you don't want to go back. I am keeping the T480 for some Linux/Windows workloads, but that is it. MBP is just better in every regard. And even though I have maxed out batteries (plural) with 98% health on '480, MBP has twice the battery life.
Re:ThreeUK Is Blocking Tutanota on Wednesday December 21, 2022 @07:55AM (#34080094)
Londoner here. On daily basis I don't _feel_ restricted on broadband, besides some thepiratebay and some other good old thorns in copyright industrial complex... But I know GCHQ is watching. So nextdns.io is my trusty friend, VPN is no problemo.

On phone I have EE MVNO and without VPN I get blocked pr0n, but not much else. Yes they wanted proof of ID despite having my Direct Debit details.

Personal note: But if you were to migrate to UK, probably not a good time this decade, the cost of living is hitting here hard, post-Brexit shambles are annoying and the compensation is not worth it anymore IMHO. Just the music scene is unbeatable, hence staying.

Re:MagicDNS is Generally Available on Thursday October 20, 2022 @01:41PM (#33278088)
Out of curiosity, would any Tailscaler please answer why the exisiting $tailnet.beta.tailscale.net weren't just shortened to $tailnet.ts.net ?

(Some of us have had luck on beatiful DNS notations early)

Re:Podman 4.2.0 on Thursday August 11, 2022 @06:49AM (#32423856)
I'd personnally expect in RHEL 8.7, as 8.6 already been shipping podman v4.0
Re:Netflix loses subscribers for the first time in 10+ years on Wednesday April 20, 2022 @07:42AM (#31095474)
Going forward instead of "Netflix & Chill" I'm going to have "Jellyfin & No Worries"
I migrated off ZT because of weird instability of traffic with file ops on Samba shares and the MagicDNS.

MagicDNS is such a killer feature, all nodes are really hands off and I don't need to worry about IP addresses anymore

Re:How our free plan stays free on Wednesday March 16, 2022 @02:06PM (#30702025)
Just last quarter I migrated my home tiny poor stack (9 nodes) from Zerotier to Tailscale and this blog confirms it was a good call.

Performance and stability especially on SMB shares and ARM based SBCs is so far way better than on zt

Re:Podman 4.0 on Tuesday February 22, 2022 @05:44PM (#30434933)
I tried to migrate from Docker to Podman 3.4 recently, but just gave up. It just have still weird quirks, containers were exiting without any clear cause, fighting with SELinux... I could not manage portainer.io to get working... the docs are somewhat incomplete...Lack of support in Debian [1] means I can't easily migrate my SBCs either.

I have Podman on my radar, will give it a shot next year, so far it still feels still quite bleeding edge. But kudos to red hatters for another major release!

[1] Fully knowing there is v3.0.0 in repos for Stable, but switching to Testing just because podman?
