  • I’m not familiar with ports, does it provide an easy way to install packages of a particular version? Is it OpenBSD only, or just a system of installing things?

    I’ve got no dog in the race as of yet, I’ve bounced off of nixos a few times because of the general lack of consistency from one package to the next in terms of configuration options made available in the Nix language.

    Genuinely curious about how it compares. The nix package manager seems fairly promising, even on non-Nix systems, if I could ever convince myself I needed it










  • Yep, as someone who just recently setup a hyperconverged mini proxmox cluster running ceph for a kubernetes cluster atop it, storage is hard to do right. Wasn’t until after I migrated my minor services to the new cluster that I realized that ceph’s rbd csi can’t be used by multiple pods at once, so having replicas of something like Nextcloud means I’ll have to use object storage instead of block storage. I mean. I can do that, I just don’t want to lol. It also heavily complicates installing apps into Nextcloud.

    Others have addressed the root and trust questions, so I thought I’d mention the “mess” question:

    Even the messiest bowl of ravioli is easier to untangle than a bowl of spaghetti.

    The mounts/networks/rules and such aren’t “mess”, they are isolation. They’re commoditization. They’re abstraction - Ways to tell whatever is running in the container what it wants to hear, so that you can treat the container as a “black box” that solves the problem you want solved.

    Think of Docker containers less like pets and more like cattle, and it very quickly justifies a lot of that stuff because it makes the container disposable, even if the data it’s handling isn’t.
