Not a bad day. I managed to get the new Epyc server built and sorted out how to run containers without root, then got mobilizon (https://meetups.infosec.exchange) up and running in a container on the new server. I am 98% complete with moving video.infosec.exchange there - peertube’s config files are dramatically different between a bare metal install (what the current site uses) and a containerized version - it’s been tedious to sort everything out, but I think I’m close.
Next will be moving pixel, elk, matrix, infosec.pub, and infosec.place to it. Matrix will be next as it’s running low on disk space.
For those wondering, I’m radically consolidating and moving all the Infosec and Fedia instances to actual server grade hardware. Everything I’m consolidating should see a substantial performance improvement once I’m done.
It also forced me to face my demon: docker compose. I don’t love docker, but it is fast becoming the preferred deployment method for all the fedi-things, so it was just a matter of time.
@jerry I know many who consider docker their demon, but for me, now that I'm used to it, I can't go back! I hope you also end up thinking it is useful, as it has been for me.
@jerry I dislike about docker, that less and less development goes into the fundament of an application. I like about docker, that I don't have to brawl with all the exotic frameworks they decided to use.
@jerry Thank you for all of the work. I honestly didn't do more than 20 minutes research before landing on this instance, but I'm really glad I did. The amount of care you put into upkeep is phenomenal.
@jerry@compuguy Podman is mostly compatible, but I’ve hit a lot of snags using it and that seems to be the general consensus among the people I talk to also. I tend to just use Docker everywhere even if their licensing did get a bit screwy.
