Pyinfra: Automate Infrastructure Using Python
I just started using Pyinfra to wrangle a bunch of servers and it is a breath of fresh air compared to Ansible. I moved all of my server OS installs to Fedora CoreOS which doesn't ship with Python in the OS and since Pyinfra doesn't need Python on the host node I can kick off tasks in bulk to do server things. It is great. I cannot wait to see where the Pyinfra project goes.
On a side note, one of the most hacky things I came up with to get Ansible working on Fedora CoreOS was to bind mount a container rootfs that had python 3 and then symlink it into the right spots. You can of course add Python in with rpm-ostree if you want but I wanted to avoid layering packages at the time. I wasn't proud of it. But it worked.

Deploying Forem on Render.com PromptZone.com
This is not the suggested way of deployment by the forem team, nevertheless I found it easier and smother than using the deployment selfhost, however I think it's good to know different approaches and use the one suits you the most, if you don't have time to manage a server I think using a pass like Render does the job, and it's cheaper then Heroku at the time of this post.

Forem Self-Host. You should probably know Forem. But in case you don't, just know that DEV is hosted on it.

Docker is dead? Podman – an alternative tool?
I only use Podman for my workloads these days. Docker was always a headache for me on Linux. Podman allows me to quickly do whatever I want with containers and I can use systemd or a simple bash script to easily create services on my workstation or in production with Nomad with https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad-driver-podman
I am super thankful for the team of developers that work on Podman. It has really come a long way since 2.0 and they are very responsive to issues in my experiences. If you are using Linux as your daily driver and you use Containers give Podman a try. Here are some examples of the things I have done with Podman.

Encourage Community with a Good ReadMe
To automatically generate a TOC, you can use an online tool like the GitHub Wiki TOC generator. I used this tool to create the TOC in Forem’s Selfhost project when I was a developer advocate there.

Forem AWS user access is too high
Hi, everyone; I just tried the tutorial for deploying a self-hosted instance of forem (https://github.com/forem/selfhost) on AWS. A step in the tutorial asks for the creation of an AWS user with Programmatic access called forem-selfhost with the following

Please stop closing forums and moving people to Discord
We (I work for Forem) have an opensource selfhost installer [0] so you can have total control over your data and community too.

Battery consumption of using remote development with WSL2?
Btw #2: For a nice, cross-platform GUI app thing for Docker & Podman here's this one: Podman Desktop Companion.

A long-time Windows power user and game developer is looking for a switch to Linux.
Podman Desktop Companion (cross-platform, supports Docker too)

About to upgrade my wfh machine. Is moving WSL2 environment as simple as export from old > import on new? Also considering move to docker.
Docker in WSL2 too works but with Podman the environment setup may be a little more flexible depending on what you want to achieve on what distro etc. In any case you can use the cross-platform Podman Desktop Companion app to manage your containers via a GUI.

Should I be creating a WSL "install" for each project?
Both Distrobox and Podman can be installed without root access btw and, here's a neat little GUI for managing Podman & Docker containers: Podman Desktop Companion (cross-platform).

FYI: Docker is deleting Open Source organisations
No, that's incorrect. Also, there's the unofficial Pods app, and the Podman Desktop Companion.

Windows Docker keeps crashing while running containers
For a GUI to manage your Podman and/or Docker containers, install the Podman Desktop Companion app (yes, it supports both Podman and Docker). They say that the Windows version can be used to manage the containers running in WSL2 but a more sure way would be to pick the Linux app and to install it in the WSL2 distro your containers are installed & running in.

Docker 2.0 went from $11M to $135M in 2 years
I'm skeptic how long this will last unless they bring out some cutting-edge innovations. I frankly used and loved Docker Desktop for a long time because it was the easiest way to get going and I believe even k8s is included now which is great for hobbyists and those who just want to get things done. But, I've been annoyed by the UX changes and the push to login to docker hub.
While in 2023, there are most certainly great alternatives that are relatively easy to install from the terminal and get going, I guess there's not yet a definitive replacement that comes with the GUI too. Best I can think of is Podman Desktop Companion[1] but not sure how well this works.
