• Resigning from a role of being "the guy"

  Sorry for the shameless plug but maybe my company https://cycle.io could help? I’ve seen so many people with this same problem and it’s why I started building this platform. Happy to chat just DM me. Source: over 1 year ago

• Monthly 'Shameless Self Promotion' thread - 2022/11

  I'm a founder at Cycle, a full devops platform and alternative to Kubernetes, with a focus on simplicity without any sacrifice. It's fully multi/hybrid cloud (including on-prem) where you bring your own infrastructure. Source: over 1 year ago

• DevOps Starter Stack

  You can use the free tier over at cycle.io as a deployment target - I actually just wrote (I work at Cycle) a blog post on basic Github Actions and Cycle. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can I use docker container with gui?

  It is possible - I've actually set this up to solve a very weird QA issue while testing some platform change during my work at cycle.io - heres a link to the DockerHub - I can tell you, you'll have to work at it a bit to get it to do what you want but its exactly what you're talking about.

• Best way to manage containers on different servers

  Im partial, given that I work for the company, but what you're looking for exactly is cycle.io - feel free to DM me if you have questions. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Failed to connect to the host via SSH on Ubuntu 22.04

  If you have just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and you suddenly experience either errors when trying to ssh into hosts, or when running ansible or again when running the ansible provisioner building a packer image, this is probably going to be useful for you. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Create a minimalist OS using Docker Containers and Hashicorp Packer

  I am already using Hashicorp Packer at work and for personal projects and I wanted to test This idea out by wrapping it a single Packer Template file. This reduces the level of maintaining a lot of small scripts, Dockerfiles and configurations and the user can simply trigger a couple of Commands to get a minimalist OS at the end of the process. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.

  And while it is a slight increase in complexity, it can be an overall net gain in functionality, configurability and reliability. Much like Packer is far more reliable and practical than manually making VM images sitting in front of a terminal, even though making the initial configuration takes some time.

• Customized Ubuntu Images using Packer + QEMU + Cloud-Init & UEFI bootloading

  Hashicorp Packer provides a nice wrapper / abstraction over the QEMU in order to boot the image and use it to set it up on first-boot. Instead of writing really long commands in order to boot up the image using QEMU, Packer provided a nice Configuration Template in a more Readable fashion. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• The journey of sharing a wired USB printer over the network

  Packer seemed like the perfect tool for the job. I have never used it before and wanted to get familiar with the tool. It doesn't come with ARM support out of the box, but there are two community projects to fill that niche. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
