Release
Release - Fedora 38
I am back to writing. And my first article should be about the brand new Fedora 38 release. What's new? What's hot? Let's have a look why this release is boring, but way too impressive to not write about it.
OpenSource
Open Source is more than just some cost-free software, where you can read the code. This category is about Open Source in general, tools, software, news, movements and Open Source projects.
IoT
IoT/Edge - Fedora + Ansible + Podman
When it comes to IoT/Edge computing, you have to consider one very special paradigm: "Everything is pull-only". Ansible and Podman can make this work, and we can build a device, that is configured via a Git repository.
Security
Security - Physical Security
After setting up the framework for our security series, we will finally have a look at the first security improvements. What can we do, to avoid that somebody physically compromises our hardware? And what does this even mean?
Security
GPG - Getting Started 1/2
The world is full of signing and encryption methods. There is one, that is especially useful in Open Source software. GPG can be used to sign mails, Git commits, container image encryption and much more. Let's set it up!
Kubernetes
Kubernetes - k3s on AlmaLinux
In some past articles, I talked about Kubernetes and how to get started. Minikube is awesome for local development, but what about Kubernetes on small environments? k3s is one of the easiest ways to deploy and run a Kubernetes instance, which can also be used to create high available clusters.
Security
Security - Getting Started
I did some polls and surveys recently, which indicated that security and hardening might be important issues for some of you. This article marks the start of a series about these topics.
Spotlight
Spotlight - Alternatives for YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and more
There was a time when the internet was young, full of enthusiastic people that wanted to connect others. We became the product. Our data is used to sell ad-placements. Are there alternatives?
Fedora
Fedora - Home Server (Application Dashboard)
Our home server can host a couple of applications now. But, remembering the different addresses, ports, and services seems somewhat wrong. In this article, we will solve this situation by deploying a dashboard, that provides links to all our applications.
Fedora
Fedora - Home Server (File, Calendar, Contact Sync)
In the last article, we created a Git server, running in Podman. The deployment was done with Ansible. The article before was about some central infrastructure. This time, let's see how we can have our own File, Calendar, and Contact sync. Yes, we will deploy Nextcloud!
Fedora
Fedora - Home Server (Git Server)
Our Home Server is doing some nice stuff already. With the last articles, I want to demonstrate how you can deploy some useful applications on it. Running your own Git server has some advantages, when it comes to private work or testing.
Fedora
Fedora - My Workstation Setup
With the release of Fedora Linux 37, I switched back to Fedora Silverblue. I took this opportunity to revamp my Fedora Workstation repository and therefore my Ansible playbook for the same.
Fedora
Fedora - Home Server (Time, DHCP, DNS Server 2/2)
In the last article of our Home Server series, we tackled the deployment of a timeserver. This also provided us with some useful tooling to set up more container deployments. Let's continue on this approach and tackle DNS and DHCP.
Podman
Podman - Configure VS Code for containers
When it comes to development of applications and container deployments, Docker is still considered the standard. VSCode provides several extensions to make your life with containers easier. But, the Docker and Dev Container extensions can be tuned to work with Podman, too.
Fedora
Release - Fedora Linux 37
Fedora has just released Fedora Linux 37 after some delays. This release marks some very awesome improvements like Kernel 6.0.0 and GNOME 43. Let's have a look. This release also marks my "back to Silverblue" release and I will update you in one of the next articles.
Fedora
Spotlight - Fedora Kinoite
Now that Fedora 37 is in reach, I want to introduce a very special variant to you. Fedora Kinoite is KDE on Fedora, but in an immutable, container centric way. Let's shed some light on "Fedora Silverblue, but with KDE".
Development
Git - Strategies
Using Git is very common among developers nowadays. But, how do you work together on Git? What is the best strategy when it comes to discussions about trunks, mono-repos and what-not? Well, let's dig into this.
