it's also a lesser serving, so healthier.

I'm sorry but this is hilarious. You spent less money and you got less food? Fascinating 😄

Help with deployment

Hello nerds! I'm hosting a lot of things on my home lab using docker compose. I have a private repo in GitHub for the config files. This is working fine for me, but every time I want to make a change I have to push the changes, then ssh to the lab, pull the changes, and run docker compose up. This is of course working fine, but...

bjornsno OP ,

I'd be a bit concerned with having the git repo also be hosted on the machine itself. If the drives break it's all gone. I could of course have two remotes but then pushing changes still becomes a multi step procedure.

bjornsno OP ,

That would fill the same role as watchtower I guess? I've previously tried to have a look at having portainer manage the docker compose stack that it's running inside but at least back then it seemed to be a dead end and not really what portainer is meant to do. I'm not interested in moving away from docker compose at this time.

bjornsno OP ,

I do have nightly off-site backups, that's true. Still, having the git repo be on the same machine doesn't seem right to me.

You should definitely figure out some infra as code system now while it's manageable. Normally I'd recommend docker-compose as it's very easy to learn and has a huge ecosystem, but since you're using proxmox you might need to look at ansible like the other commenter said. Having IaC with git makes it so much easier to test new stuff, roll changes back, and all that good stuff, in addition to solving your original problem of forgetting what is running where.

Just find the simplest IaC solution possible. Unless you are gunning for a job in infrastructure you don't need to go into kubernetes or terraform or anything like that, you just need something reproducible that you can easily understand and modify.

Oh for sure for sure. I just know that a lot of people use their homelab to learn skills that they can put on their resume when looking for a job. It's totally fair to over engineer your self hosting setup if that's your goal.

A helpful graphic about writing alt text (lemmy.ml)

image descriptionAn infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including "identify who", "expression", "description", "colour", and "interesting features". The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are...

Ignorant question: isn't alt text primarily for visually impaired people? If so, what is the point of including info about color?

bjornsno ,

That's a very good point!

Quick feedback: your css transitions are way too long, opening the hamburger menu should not make me feel like I'm waiting for it to open.

Also you've gone for the card layout on the app list, however cards create the expectation that they are actionable yet clicking them does nothing. At least make the app names clickable.

bjornsno ,

Ah, fooled by the title yet again!

bjornsno ,

I started seeing this too. Interestingly pulling individual images works, it only does this when trying to pull all the images.

bjornsno ,

Yo I really like this. Does it exist in other aspect ratios?

bjornsno ,

Thanks!

I know you didn't mean it like this, but the result from this line of thinking is that we only try to put women on equal footing with men in tech when it's convenient for men because times are good. Which in turn means we never put women on equal footing because the needs of men always come first.

Put differently women have to deal with being women in tech on top of times being desperate, men only have to deal with times being desperate. Things like this are why spaces like these are necessary in the first place, and if you break them down at the first discomfort you're not a working class hero fighting the capital, you're tearing down women and setting everyone back.
