    Project mention: Production-Grade Container Deployment with Podman Quadlets – Larvitz Blog | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-16

    I use socket activation instead of running reverse proxy with `CAP_NET_BIND`. Caddy supports socket binding, and can handle SSL certs. I now just log-in every week or so and run `journalctl --user -f --since "2025-11-09" --grep "error"` to check for anything going on.

    Project mention: A way to exclude sensitive files issue still open for OpenAI Codex | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-28

    I've contributed to https://github.com/0xferrous/agent-box which allows you to bind-mount git repositories into containers that agents operate in. Your usual .gitignore can then be used to ignore files to be bind-mounted, which preventa agents from accessing them at all.

    I've also created https://github.com/nothingnesses/agent-images which allows you to use Nix to reproducibly spin up OCI containers containing agents and use these with agents-box.

    I use both at the moment to work on some personal projects with agents, where I set up multiple separate git worktrees for the agents to work in and that prevents them from trampling over each other's work.

  24. wine-container

    OCI Container for Wine using buildah and podman
