    Docker, Docker Compose, and Portainer

    Jump

  • I use Portainer mainly to start / stop / restart containers without the mental load of using the command line. It works fine with Compose if you can get (or write) a yaml file for the container you're interested in, or you can use it to pull from the repository and set everything up if you can't. Portainer also gives you a nice, one-stop view of the current state of your containers. Basically, it can't hurt to have it around.Personally, my favorite Docker management GUI is the one that comes with Synology NASes. It's much less clunky that Portainer and iirc a little more powerful. But of course it only runs in their hardware.

  • So what holiday projects are we all working on?

  • I'm (re)building a bird feeder for my mother. I have a design I came up with that makes good use of crappy big-box cedar boards. The squirrels eventually ruin them, so I'm ready for this year's iteration.The body is dovetailed together, which feels maybe a little over complicated, but it is a really strong joint and I enjoy cutting them.The imgur album for the one I made five years ago is actually still up:https://imgur.com/a/mkis0Hp

  • This would have been funnier with a cow, IMO.

  • Is there a way to guarantee a mobile device or tablet can only access my own services and block all other traffic?

    Jump

  • That's good to know. I leave location services off on Android when I'm not using them and the possibility of a triangulation leak always nagged me a little. Not a lot, because I've never heard of any actual harm coming from it. But a little.

  • Syncthing Android app discontinued

    Jump

  • Well that's a shame. I'm sort of half-assedly using syncthing to backup my photos from my phone to my server, but mostly I rely on immich. I never really got the hang of using syncthing with my phone.

  • End of the Road - Anandtech has closed down

    Jump

  • Lol, I still check out slashdot too - although it's usually a day late with news and the comments aren't anything special. Force of habit I guess.

  • End of the Road - Anandtech has closed down

    Jump

  • Wow, that takes me back. I used to prefer Anandtech to Ars Technica, Hot Hardware, Tom's Hardware, etc.But I haven't visited any of them in like a decade, so I can see why they might be shutting down.

  • What do you prefer to selfhost?

  • Another vote for Debian, and I'll suggest you go ahead and install Jellyfin directly rather than messing with Docker.https://jellyfin.org/downloads/serverI'd been running JF under Docker on my NAS, but when I moved to a new server I decided to just install it directly and it hasn't been any problem at all. You'll get a notification when it needs to be updated and it's just a few clicks to do so. You won't have to fight with Docker to get hardware acceleration working - which isn't to say it won't be a PITA, but it's one less layer of complication.

  • Unless you're going the hand tool purist route, the table saw is IMO the central tool in the shop. It can rip, cross-cut, and cut joinery like dados and tenons. So you want a good one with a solid fence that won't frustrate you. I haven't been in the market for one in a while, so my suggestions will be out of date, but I'm sure others here can help you.When you're starting out you'll probably be buying your wood S4S: surfaced four sides, so it's smooth and pretty much ready to go. This is how all the wood at the big-box hardware stores comes. Wood from specialty dealers will come rough, and you can surface it yourself with the right tools ($$$) or have them do it for you for a fee ($).It's probably best to start with a project in mind, even if it's shop shelving or something that doesn't have to be heirloom-quality.

    Jump

  • Looks cool. My RPi 1 is still rolling along running Pi Hole, but if I need to replace it, something like this running off PoE would be very tidy.

  • Very elegant! How did you cut the tapers on the legs? There doesn't seem to be a great way to do it. I'd use the table saw with a custom jig probably.

  • Windows 11 IoT LTSC 2024 arrives making TPM and Secure Boot optional — lower storage requirements, too

    Jump

  • I'm not using disk encryption. It's a desktop and if it's every stolen I've got bigger problems.Also, I presume that disk encryption makes it so you can't just pop the drive in an adapter and pull stuff off it, which I sometimes need to do with old, retired drives.

  • Rats. Leaving TPM off in the BIOS is how I've been avoiding it nagging me to upgrade from 10.

  • Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows

  • Interesting. As much as I'm a Foobar2000 fan, it's not open source. Looks like I'll be giving Winamp another spin soon.
