Docker

Jellyfin is a great replacement for Plex, but I ran into non-stop problems with the Android app with a fatal player error. 🍿

Here’s a blog post to answer the question: Why do you write so much about CoreOS? 📦

Sure, docker-compose is great, but could we get similar functionality using just the tools that are built into CoreOS? Can we get automatic updates, too? Yes we can! 📦

CoreOS provides a fast track to running containers with a light weight immutable OS underneath. This doesn’t mean that you can’t keep it around as a pet instance. 🐕

Watchtower keeps an eye on your running containers and updates them when new containers appear upstream. 📦

My go-to method for managing containers easily is still docker-compose. It works really well on Fedora CoreOS. 📦

Ongoing changes at Twitter led me to take a second look at mastodon, including running my own mastodon instance. 🐘

Re-use the same wildcard TLS certificate for multiple containers running behind traefik. 🚦
