Self-hosted news, updates, launches, and content for the week ending Friday, March 14, 2025Ethan Sholly (selfh.st)
👋🏼 Ich bin nicht #neuhier, aber vor gut 1/2 Jahr auf meine #selfhosted #Mastodon-Instanz umgezogen 📦.
Ich bin Florian 👨🏼💻, #Informatik|student an der #RWTHAachen 🎓 und #tech-Enthusiast.
Ich hoste vieles im #homelab #selfhosting, programmiere Apps mit #Flutter 📲, aber auch Webseiten 🌐 und andere #Software 💻.
Zudem begeistert mich die #Notfallmedizin #Medizin und ich bin als #Rettungssanitäter im #Rettungsdienst tätig 🩺🚑.
Ich liebe #Wassersport, egal ob #Segeln ⛵, #Tauchen 🤿 oder #Schwimmen 🏊🏼♂️.
👋🏼 #introduction though I'm not new here, but moved to my #selfhosted #Mastodon instance half a year ago 📦.
I'm Florian 👨🏼💻, #IT/computer science student at #RWTHAachen 🇩🇪🎓 and #tech enthusiast.
I do lots of #selfhosting in my #homelab, develop apps with #Flutter 📲, but also websites 🌐 and other #software 💻.
I'm very passionate about emergency #medicine 🩺 and work as a #paramedic (Rettungssanitäter 🇩🇪) on the #ambulance 🚑 in #ems 🚨.
I love water sports, be it #sailing ⛵, #diving 🤿 or #swimming 🏊🏼♂️.
Enough mucking around with these Forgejo runners. I have a working solution, which is not the best, but it's functional, and is what I need to finish the blog post. At some point in the future I can think about version 2.0, with a better container image (or my own, who knows).
Okay, here's something that is killing my Forgejo runner experiment: I need the perfect container image. The ones I have tried so far are missing one thing or another, and it's taking me a while to deal with that.
So, instead of trying to build my own image, let me ask the hive mind if anyone knows of a single *reliable* container image that has all of the following *already* installed: Python, NodeJS and Docker CE (or Podman).
And no, I'm not looking for a container image built buy a random guy for their own personal use. That guy could be me. I really want something that is supported as part of a larger project.
My sanity thanks you.
Ugh! I created a complication for my own self.
While writing a blog post about my findings related to Forgejo runner on a Raspberry Pi, I realized that I also needed a runner to build x86 (amd64) images. So now I am adding a lot more steps to my setup (still debating between LXC or KVM on Proxmox).
The blog post has been severely delayed.
Fun! While writing a blog post about my findings related to Forgejo runner and Docker-in-Docker, I realized I made a few mistakes, and was able to fix them.
So that proves that old saying: the best way to learn, is to teach.
Sometimes we do complex stuff just for the sake of learning, and that's the essence of why we have home labs.
I built a Fedora container image (for an Ansible execution environment), from inside an Ubuntu container, that is running inside another Ubuntu container (Forgejo runner), while all of them were using the same underlying Docker-in-Docker, running from a Docker Compose (where Forgejo and the Runner also are), on a Debian base OS, on a Raspberry Pi.
Did I need to do that? Absolutely not. Did I like doing it? Obviously yes!
Now I just need to find the time and the head space to write a blog post about it. 😄

Self-hosted news, updates, launches, and a spotlight on Docking Station - a web interface for managing container updatesEthan Sholly (selfh.st)
"The emissions from production of computing devices far exceed the emissions from operating them, so even if devices are more energy efficient producing more of them will make the emissions problem worse. Therefore we must extend the useful life of our computing devices."
I agree.
In the past i have been given servers that companies no longer want because they have upgraded to something better, yet they are great for my #homelab.
It costs me in terms of electricity, but they are all perfectly functional and run useful services :/
