🚫 Wow, breaking news, folks: free access to a "minimus" container image that’s so minimal even the server can't find it! 🤔 Apparently, it’s the Schrödinger's cat of tech—exists in theory, forbidden in practice. 👻

Meh, after the U-Blue Aurora image now my Fedora Kinoite 44 container image with the nix directory hits the "max depth exceeded" error and cannot be built normally. Or does anyone have a trick to solve that error?

"buildx failed with: ERROR: failed to build: failed to solve: failed to register layer: max depth exceeded"

I guess I'll have to look into the nix package now being provided by Fedora and copy their tmpfiles file to create the /nix directory. Which would mean I could get rid of building my own image just for the /nix directory and can start using the official images...

(Not sure I can swap out the existing nix installation while keeping the nix store intact)

Open Container Initiative: Warum sie für dich als Linux-Admin wichtig ist

Warum du die Open Container Initiative kennen solltest Wenn du heute als Linux-Systemadministrator mit Containern arbeitest – egal ob mit Docker, Podman, containerd, CRI-O oder Kubernetes – kommst du faktisch täglich mit Standards der Open Container Initiative (OCI) in Berührung, auch wenn dir das nicht immer bewusst ist. Die OCI definiert, wie Container-Images aufgebaut sind, wie Container zur Laufzeit gestartet werden und wie Images über Registries verteilt werden – und damit, ob […]

I’ve been working on a modern implementation of a #DokuWiki #container image for my own use, and I thought it might be useful for others in the community.

There are several DokuWiki images out there, but I wanted something that was:

* Using Lighttpd instead of heavy Apache/Nginx setups.
* Based on the latest Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) and latest stable DokuWiki.
* Fully supports both amd64 and arm64.
