  • Docker doesn’t require podman at all

    Podman isn’t an addon for docker. Podman is the open source alternative containerizer to docker. When I first encountered Docker’s AI Bonzai buddy called Gordon, Lemmy responded with, “Lol, everyone knows to not run Docker.”

    :

    No, I am aguing that if you were capable of setting up Cisco BGPs in the mid-90s, when documentation was ass,

    Documentation was far more thorough and accurate than today. First was everything was simpler. No VMs, No Containers. No https certificates unless they were e-commerce. The second reason is that documentation wasn’t an afterthought because the project is done by volunteers. I got a 100+ page binder from Netscape just to cover how to configure their build kit. (The software to make a customized installation CD.) Today many projects documentation consists only of, “Check out the Discord.”

    The last important factor was the rate of change was slower so the documentation you got in 1996 was still completely accurate in 1999.

    Edit: Re docker engine.

    The guides say install docker engine and point you to the docker website. Once on the docker website, the docker documentation tells you to install the docker gui to get the engine installed and walks you through the procedure of installing docker gui.


  • Jellyfin but you not being able to follow a dead simple guide.

    The fact that others had the same problem without solution means it isn’t follow a dead simple guide. There are multiple guides. Just setting up docker means you have to already know to not use it and run podman. Because if you follow the online guides on docker’s own website, you end up with a docker gui and their AI assistant installed.

    And to think you were running a whole ass ISP…

    You are arguing that setting up an Internet server is as simple as it was 30 years ago. You are arguing for the sake of arguing.


  • Not at Cisco. With a Cisco. I ran a mid sized ISP in the 90’s until I was bought out by a cable company and retired. Although several of my employees went on to work at Cisco. I also had a few friends who were executives at Cisco because we all started at a company working for Vint Cerf and Bob Khan (they were the angel investors) back before most knew of the Internet.

    First it’s a VM because I’m not going mess around with stuff on bare metal. Create docker is a can of worms because you have to pick a reverse proxy software like nginx, traefik, caddy. Which means you need to understand all three to know which to pick. Then there’s setting up the certificate with the dns provider. So I got nginx working with a certificate but gave up after the VM running Jellyfin couldn’t see it. Googling showed someone on Reddit with the same problem but no answer other than others saying “works for me”
