I often recreate virtual machines (VMs) in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), which means their connection information changes frequently. That leaves stale entries in known_hosts and creates more DNS work as the number of servers grows. Using GC...
Drone.IO runs each pipeline step in a Docker container. Drone plugins are containers with a predefined task and settings supplied by the pipeline. Because they are published as Docker images, the same plugins can also run in Gitea Actions. ...
In an effort to create an easy-to-manage VM environment that I can use on the go, even with spotty internet, I decided to try running Proxmox on my Apple Silicon MacBook Air. Parallels and VMware Fusion were options, but I chose Proxmox to ...
Gitea includes a built-in Docker registry, so I can host Docker and other OCI-compliant images without relying on Docker Hub or dealing with its rate limits. The MVP ("most valuable player") of this whole thing is a tool called skopeo . It ...

After many years of asking, my Internet Service Provider still doesn't support IPv6. The same goes for many other ISPs. IPv4 exhaustion has pushed some ISPs toward "Carrier-Grade NAT", where many customers share one address. Dedicated IPv4 ...
In my ever-ending quest to do things that are probably not the best idea that aren't a part of a usual use-case, I wanted to see if I could run a docker daemon on Fly.io. Fly.io uses Firecracker micro-VMs to run services. It "transmogrifies...

Part 1 synchronized TLS certificates across the PoPs, and Part 2 distributed Caddy configuration with Nomad. Caddy still needs to request certificates only for names approved by Gitea Pages. Customer domains are not known in advance, so thi...
Part 1 covered provisioning TLS certificates and keeping them synchronized across Caddy instances. The next problem I faced was creating Caddy configuration from the services running at each Point of Presence (PoP) and distributing it to th...
