rkt VS go-unsplash

Whole quadlets are cool, this just means me miss the rkt runtime. https://github.com/rkt/rkt It integrated with systemd properly quite a while ago.

rkt (and many other container solutions) was introduced after docker was released and became popular... they even mentioned docker's shortcomings as a motivation for the project creation [0]. It had all the same problems as other replacement software: there were plenty of bugs and missing features, documentation was limited, and there are no community to help you (the announcement explicitly mentions "prototype quality release"). None of those would be fatal if it was significantly better than docker, but it was not -- it was basically the same functionality. So almost no one made the switch. It is closed now [1]

And why "rkt"? There were much better alternative container runtimes. For example Sylabs Singularity [2] -- container-as-a-file, instant mounting, etc... I wish more people knew about it.

Think of Docker as the AWS of the container world in terms of popularity, there is another container platform called rocket (rkt) which can be considered something like Vultr in this analogy.

In the root of your project, create a new folder called images and add some images. You can use the images from the example project on GitHub or you can find license free images on unsplash.

Since I wanted to have thumbnails for each post (the file it uses is defined by the thumbnail field in the front matter), I decided to add some code that copies the files from our posts folder to the assets folder in Angular. This way, we can easily reference them in our Angular code. However, some of the image files I would download from Unsplash.com (fantastic public domain images btw) were huge and would take a few seconds to load in the browser. So, I delegated this task to gulp, where the files would first be piped to imagemin and then copied to the assets folder. This optimized the images for faster load times. My gulpfile.mjs looks like this:
