Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"If you're looking to optimize your containerization workflow, here's the good news - the ecosystem has evolved far beyond Docker's original design.</p><p>Docker revolutionized software deployment by making containerization a standard, but the ecosystem has grown to address specific use cases that Docker wasn't originally designed for. Modern alternatives like Podman, containerd, and CRI-O offer specialized features like daemonless designs, rootless operations, and native Kubernetes integration. These tools don't just offer incremental improvements, but instead they represent fundamental shifts in how we think about container security, performance, and workflow integration.</p><p>The container ecosystem has matured beyond Docker's monolithic approach, with specialized runtimes optimizing for specific use cases.

Me voy a cambiar de Docker a #podman al menos para trabajar en mis proyectos (de momento en el servidor, no).

Por ahora, además de grandes cosas como que no haya que andar arrancando un servicio en systemd, o que no haya que andar "sudando" comandos, me encantan pequeñas cosas como que si una imagen está en distintos repositorios, te pregunte por tu preferencia.

podman.io

podman.ioPodman

Is anyone else using the yakumosaki/glitch-soc container for their instance? Have you stopped getting amd64 builds? Both of my instances failed after my auto-backup (which also pulls the latest container) because the new container builds seem to be coming down in aarch64 rather than dual-builds like they were.

Little trick:

Server backup by using proxmox-backup-client inside a Linux container by running it with podman :podman: . Volume-mounting the entire root-fs of the server into the container read-only:

[root@argon ~]# sudo podman run --rm --name pbs-backup-job \
--security-opt label=type:spc_t \
--hostname argon \
--entrypoint /usr/bin/proxmox-backup-client \
--secret pbs_repo_password,type=env,target=PBS_PASSWORD \
--secret pbs_key_passphrase,type=env,target=PBS_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD \
-v /:/mnt/root:ro \
-v /root/argon-backup.key:/etc/proxmox/argon-backup.key:ro,Z \
docker.io/ayufan/proxmox-backup-server:latest \
backup root.pxar:/mnt/root --repository backup@pbs@neon.edelga.se:data --keyfile /etc/proxmox/argon-backup.key

Works incredibly well :-)

three reasons I read the podman desktop release blogs

1. to ooh and aww over the newest selkie/seal image
2. they're easy to read, well written, screenshots nice level of detail
3. see reason #1
