Project mention: Best Open Source Monitoring Tools in 2026: 7 Self-Hosted Options Compared | dev.to | 2026-06-13
Netdata is a real-time infrastructure monitoring agent that collects metrics at per-second granularity with near-zero configuration. Install the agent on a server, and within seconds you have 2,000+ metrics being collected — CPU, memory, disk I/O, network, processes, containers, and hundreds of application-specific collectors. The level of instant visibility is unmatched.

Moby
The Moby Project - a collaborative project for the container ecosystem to assemble container-based systems
Project mention: A failing Docker swarm service cut healthy containers off the overlay network | dev.to | 2026-10-02TL;DR: On a Docker swarm node, the overlay driver keeps a count of how many endpoints have joined each network there, and destroys the network's sandbox on that node when the count reaches zero. When a container start fails after the driver's Join (for example because the host port it publishes is taken), libnetwork rolls the join back by calling Leave twice, so every such failure takes one more off the count than it added. On Docker 29.8.2, a node with two healthy containers on an overlay network lost that network within 20 seconds of creating a swarm service that published a host port another container already held. Nobody touched anything: the service's own retries did it. Both containers went NO-CARRIER, could no longer reach anything on the overlay, and docker ps showed them running throughout. Restarting the containers didn't bring them back. Restarting the daemon did. The toolkit's check-overlay-sandbox.sh finds containers in that state. Upstream report: moby/moby#53834.

memos
A personal timeline for quick notes. Write short memos, find them later by search, tag, or date. Open source and self-hosted.
ObjeX currently serves as the S3 backend for our Outline and Memos instances. Both use presigned URLs and server-side uploads through the standard AWS SDKs, no special configuration needed.

Project mention: Rootless podman export of a keep-id container shifts every file owner, exit 0 | dev.to | 2026-09-29
TL;DR: podman export of a rootless container that was created with --userns=keep-id writes a tarball in which every file owner is shifted by the container's ID mapping. Inside the container the user's home is 1000/1000 and system files are 0/0. In the export, the home is 0/0, the 3257 root-owned files are 1/1, and su, passwd and the other setuid binaries are setuid to UID 1. The export exits 0 and prints nothing. Import that tarball and the user can't write to its own home directory. podman cp ctr:/ - produced the same shift. podman commit maps the owners back: commit the container, create a plain container from the image, and export that. The export code passes no ID mapping to its tar writer, in 5.4.2 and in current main. Reproduced on a Raspberry Pi with Debian's podman 5.4.2. The toolkit's check-podman-export-idmap.sh lists the containers at risk and checks an export without writing it. Upstream report: podman-container-tools/podman#29856.

Project mention: Self-hosted PaaS in 2026: Coolify vs Dokku vs CapRover vs Ownkube | dev.to | 2026-09-13
This post compares the four self-hosted and "self-hosted-style" PaaS options we see startups evaluating most often: Coolify, Dokku, CapRover, and Ownkube. We'll cover what each one is, who it fits, where the ceiling is, and the honest tradeoffs. If you're trying to leave Heroku specifically, our Heroku alternative guide covers the workflow translation in more detail.

Project mention: The brew services Setup That Finally Got Docker Desktop Off My Mac (and Made Local Postgres Feel Instant) | dev.to | 2026-08-02
And yes, I did the responsible thing and evaluated the usual Docker Desktop alternatives first. Colima, OrbStack, and Podman are all genuinely lighter than Docker Desktop and worth knowing - Colima especially gives you a Docker-compatible runtime with minimal fuss. But they're still containers. They shave the licensing and some of the RAM; they don't change the fundamental fact that you're running a Linux VM to host a database your Mac can run natively. For a single local Postgres or Redis, brew services isn't a lighter container runtime. It's no container at all - which is the part most "Docker Desktop alternatives 2025" roundups quietly skip.

authelia
The Single Sign-On Multi-Factor portal for web apps. OpenID Certified™ and Post-Quantum Cryptography Ready.
Project mention: Putting Authelia in front of my whole homelab: what worked, what didn't, and the £0 lesson that nearly undid all of it | dev.to | 2026-09-06Every service I self-host sits behind one front door: Authelia, doing single sign-on and 2FA for the lot — the dashboard, the password vault, the VPN control plane, a couple of internal tools, the monitoring. One login, one place to enforce a policy, one place to revoke access. When people say "security first" about a homelab, this is usually the picture they have in mind.

Project mention: Neko: A self hosted virtual browser that runs in Docker and uses WebRTC | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-08-22

containerd's September 1 advisory states the outcome directly. A container restored from an untrusted checkpoint through the create call can run as root with full capabilities and no seccomp filter, despite restrictive policy requested by the orchestrator. It applies where checkpoint restore through CRI is enabled and an attacker can run a container from a crafted checkpoint image. The affected ranges run from 2.1.0 up to, but not including, 2.2.7, and from 2.3.0 up to, but not including, 2.3.4. Those two releases disable the path by default.
