  • How to run an Nginx container with socket activation and rootless Podman? (I only got it working with a simplified Nginx container image)
    4 projects | /r/selfhosted | 31 Aug 2022
    Socket activation should be the fastest alternative as then there is no need to process and interpret the network traffic that is sent over the socket. Both slirp4netns and netavark process the traffic. If I understand correctly the network driver bypass4netns could have similar performance as socket activation. The current bypass4netns implementation has some security problems but it seems that could be fixed.
  • Podman 4.2.0

    (That could a be cool feature)

    Also interesting would be to fix the security considerations of using bypass4netns:

    "However, it is probably possible to connect to host loopback IPs by exploiting TOCTOU of struct sockaddr * pointers."

    There seems to be an implementation idea for how the problem could be fixed:

  • Minikube now supports rootless podman driver for running Kubernetes
    11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Jun 2022
    The filesystem performance degradation was resolved in kernel 5.11 which added support for rootless overlayfs.

    The network performance is caused by slirp (usermode TCP/IP) but it is being resolved too : https://github.com/rootless-containers/bypass4netns

  • What is your favorite desktop environment?
    2 projects | /r/Fedora | 26 Nov 2022
    At the risk of being downvoted to hell, but to offer a different perspective, my answer is, that my favorite DE for Linux (not only Fedora) is... Windows with WSL(g). I'm a huge Fedora fan, have installed it bare-metal, but use fedoraremix WSL distro almost exclusively. The problem with that solution is that it requires an absurdly huge amount of memory to work comfortably, so I admit, that it is not a good solution for any system with less than 32GB of RAM.
  • Fedora WSL Installer

    You could download the msix bundle for fedora remix from Github or using winget: winget install --id whitewaterfoundry.fedora-remix-for-wsl
  • Podman v4.2.0 Released
    3 projects | /r/linux | 20 Aug 2022
    BTW. I'm not using Ubuntu WSL, and I'm on fedoraremix instead - you can install it for free from https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/Fedora-Remix-for-WSL/releases. As of now it installs Fedora 35, but you can upgrade it to 36 and there you have podman 4.2.0 available for install. Maybe it would solve some of your issues?

    Disclaimer. I am not using Windows to test above solutions anymore. More than a year ago I used [2] but from a casual look maybe [1] is better now.

    Lol, you could have sideloaded it for free.
