I decided to dedicate my weekend to server maintenance and documentation.

Yesterday, I managed to install Immich using Quadlets, following the instructions on this very insightful repository, then I tried to migrate a Nextcloud installation from YunoHost to my new homelab. I started a #tmux session so that @sirodoht could kindly join to help me. We tinkered for two hours, but there was too much to do 🤯

Today, I spent the whole day writing documentation for these and many other things I learned/did in the past couple of months, since I am terrible at taking notes of the technical experiments I do.

I am exhausted, but also quite discouraged. The more I write, the more I feel there is to write. I really think I don’t have the time and the energy, but when it’s done it’s very fulfilling, and it’s very useful to have a lot of references in the future.

I will edit this post once what I wrote gets published on tommi.space.

Had a great time joining the Call For Testing channel's Jail/Zones Production User Call to talk about daemonless.io! We dove deep into the weeds of bringing native FreeBSD OCI container images to life, porting complex application stacks, and exploring the future of container ecosystems on FreeBSD.

"Your Container Is Not a Sandbox" — an entire article on container security that never mentions SELinux. Not once. That's not an oversight, it's an agenda.

I'm not anti-microVM. But containers *do* contain. I run OpenClaw --read-only with SELinux enforcing. Add seccomp, dropped caps, user namespaces — defense in depth works.

Rootless containers are becoming the baseline for secure environments.

This deep dive explores how Podman enables rootless execution using user namespaces, what changes compared to traditional container setups, and where limitations still exist.

Because in many cases, giving containers full root access is simply a bigger slice than needed 🥧

Most teams focus on container runtimes, not the control plane. Daemon Orchestration at Container Scale digs into how the daemon actually keeps fleets in line.

Building and pushing container images on Codeberg CI

As part of moving my services to EU-based infrastructure, I've been migrating away from GitHub to @Codeberg One of the things I needed was a CI pipeline to build a container image and push it to the Codeberg container registry for my @catfires bot . It took a few tries to get right, so here's what works for me.
