    Install and run Firefox on Debian unattended in a virtual machine or on a computer. (by Torxgewinde)

  • Security: Example: I run Firefox in a VM. Even if there is a vulnerability it will not spread to my computer. For the curious: https://github.com/Torxgewinde/BrowserBox

  • Vagrant

    Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing development environments.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • docker

    ⛴ Docker image of Nextcloud (by nextcloud)

  • FWIW it's fairly easy to setup cron on the nextcloud docker containers, they even have the example Dockerfile to do it.

  • infra

    99.8% less leaked credentials (by ironicbadger)

  • I would recommend taking a look around /u/ironicbadger 's infra repo at https://github.com/IronicBadger/infra
