You might have noticed that I have spend some time in my Quadlets Repo, taking care of some Grafana stuff.

Took me a bit to understand it but I’m quite happy with the result.

Check it out if you’d like to deploy your Grafana instance with a few extras in your homelab!

Thanks for that hint, @jwildeboer! Immich is up and running - import of my families libraries will take a while though… #Immich #Podman #rootless #SelfHosting

Talk almost ready – Chemnitz Linux Days, here we go! 💻🐧

Putting the final touches on my talk – tomorrow it’s time. ⏰

Chemnitz Linux Days 2026, I’m all set and excited to be there. 🙉

30+ slides on Podman in rootless mode in combination with Quadlets are ready – even though this topic really only scratches the surface. 📚

#podman #quadlets #yadm #hardening #rootless

I'm still experimenting with #podman #rootless and can't find how to allow containers/pod to access #localhost

Context: one pod with 2 #containers, one needs access to localhost. Podman is 5.4 with pasta networking.
I tried adding "-T" or "host-gateway" options to pasta network on the pod but still no way.
Can't to find a single complete article on how to manage networking on pods, a lot of different information

Has anyone a solution to this problem? Is it simply possible?

#sysadmin #linux

Some years ago, I started using #Docker #rootless for my #selfhosting needs. I was quite happy with it, even if finding information about rootless mode has been quite difficult.
I mostly used #compose setups.

Some days ago, I looked at #podman to replace those setups with a more modern stack. Podman works well for single containers but not that much podman-compose: don't believe the articles telling you that it's automatic, it's not!

#containers #apps #linux #floss

I didn't expect #rootless #podman to be such a rabbit hole nightmare.

It appears to be impossible to get the permissions right for a mounted folder for which the user starting the container has reading rights on the host via being in the group the files belong to.

I thought that is just a very basic use case. Probably I will just use docker again.

Tried to decide if I should look into #pasta instead of #slirp4netns. Looked at their webpage and found a long list of features. Nice.

Looked for a man page for the pasta command, but it was nowhere to be found on the webpage. Instead I could watch a 10 minutes long video showing 3 terminal windows and a window with a scrolling text explaining what happens in the terminal windows.

That is a thanks, but no thanks from me.
