This album has been in heavy rotation at my house since it came out. So good.

I use three systems for manager nodes so they don’t get much work. Mostly Traefik and a few other administrative services. I have about 80 containers running on the six worker nodes.
I have a home lab consisting of 9 mini PCs running Docker Swarm. They’re from various manufacturers, Intel, ASRock, Minisforum, etc. I originally tried to use Debian to build out the environment but it couldn’t find the network interfaces, or storage, or whatever else. So I made a Rocky 9 install drive and tried that. Every machine came up with all hardware recognized on the first try. So, that’s what I’ve been running for just about two years now. No complaints.
Seems fast compared to self-hosted GitLab or Bitbucket. I don’t see a way to add an ssh key or gpg key for code signing. No dark mode so expect to burn your retinas out in the middle of the night. I’ll wait until it’s a little more fleshed out before thinking about replacing Gitea in my network, though.
I don’t have a favorite. I use Cinnamon because it disappoints me the least.
Companies like Meta don’t do anything without an NDA. They probably reached out to Eugen and said “hey, we want to talk but first you need to sign this NDA.” They could be asking for his grandmother’s sugar cookie recipe.
Sure, there are plenty of reasons to loft an eyebrow at Eugen. Signing an NDA isn’t one of them.
Guess I should get out and mow while I have the chance.
Unless you need the complexities that Kubernetes brings, Docker Swarm is the right tool for the job. It’s low overhead, low maintenance, and doesn’t have external moving parts. I run several swarms for work and personal use and the care and feeding of all of them is minimal and revolves around monthly patching. I also have a Kubernetes cluster at work that the dev teams wanted to experiment with and it’s always running into one problem or another.
26 years old and retired from baseball. I’ll miss watching him play, but yeah, it was the right call. Long term health is more important.
