For anyone running web applications in need of #Keycloak as #IdP here is a #Helmfile showing how to run a simple setup. It is supposed to stay #FOSS forever (unlike #Bitnami). Comments, bug reports and PRs are very much appreciated.

Finally completed a replacement of the Bitnami charts and images we had in a project.
It's no secret that when you do such a thing, you invest way more effort than if you'd need with using their new free versions.
But! They broke a trust to a software provider, they undid literally years spent on delivering all these artifacts.
So, any sane person would rather jump off their shit train, which I did as well.

Finally migrated all my #Postgres #Bitnami instances over to Crunchy Postgres (k8s) (n = 12) and pgautoupgrade (https://github.com/pgautoupgrade/docker-pgautoupgrade) (docker) (n = 8) and updated all to v18.

Should probably write a blog post about it.

Bitnami is updating some of the their kubernetes helm charts and moving this to a legacy repo

However, not all of the charts seem to be getting updated.

I’m running my own harbor registry for maintaining my own images for www.keyboardvagabond.com and I was working on finishing up this longhorn excessive api call issue when I saw that harbor stopped working.

Essentially, the gist is that they moved certain image references to the bitnamilegacy repository instead of bitnami, but the harbor helm chart didn’t get the updates, so the images failed to pull because they “disappeared” and updating the the latest helm version didn’t solve it.

Essentially, for now what I had to do was go to the default values modal and search for “repository” and make sure that I had an entry under earch part for image.repository where the value was bitnamilegacy/<failing image name without tag>.

This took me a while to figure out and I hope this helps someone!

Longhorn's Backup Cost Savings - or not getting surprise bills

Moar adventures in #selfhosting for #keyboardvagabond! I think that I finally got the longhorn too-many-s3-calls networking issue resolved https://blog.keyboardvagabond.com/michael-dileos-software-and-tech-blog/longhorns-backup-cost-savings-or-not-getting-surprise-bills

I also found that the #bitnami #helmchart for #harborRegistry didn't get updated with the latest migration they did, so I had to find out that they moved their repositories to `bitnamilegacy` and update my helm chart. That took a while to figure out why the image pulls failed!

#Bitnami/#Broadcom just freaking... deleted all of their old/free #Docker images - and now my #PostgreSQL/#MariaDB/#MySQL deployments have just lost the ability to re-pull their images, which I don't have stored locally anywhere atm. What the actual.. fuck, Broadcom?

#Distroless #OCI containers to replace #Bitnami images. Governments explore different options: #Nix_Flakes custom builds, community images.

Read my take and another option based on #Fedora at https://blog.riemann.cc/digitalisation/2025/10/26/distroless-containers-nix-flakes-vs-fedora/

Distroless Containers for corporate use: Nix Flakes vs Fedora

In this post, I share my personal perspective on distroless containers for corporate use, hence with a view on compliance. I offer an alternative to Nix Flakes using Fedora and Podman.
