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.

Help from #podman or #docker users welcome!

We have started to offer open alpha access to a hosted Forgejo Actions CI runner. Unfortunately, there are many jobs that can crash the runner for every user reliably, and many users execute them inadvertently.

To save cost and disk wear, we want to keep temporary writes inside the CI builds in RAM and only store the images persistently.

However, the setup is apparently incorrect and we need help figuring it out.

See codeberg.org/actions/meta/issu…

Help with the setup appreciated

Currently, I am the only person actively maintaining the setup, with occasional help from some others for debugging. However, the setup turned out to be more complicated than I anticipated and I would be happy to receive assistance.

Of cloud services, I have to highlight @protonprivacy in addition to @simplex and @signalapp for communication. @liberachat is also important for open source developers. #vscodium for the IDE.

Otherwise I prefer #RHEL as the base OS on my laptop with VMs and #podman testing code across different distros. And @e_mydata on a @Fairphone.

Unfortunately, at my day job we're stuck with the Atlassian stack, which is such a time waster once you need to use the web portals. And even though the vscodium extension helps, it's still slow to use. It's slowly killing me from the inside with its sluggish user experience.

The open source projects I'm responsible for at work now uses #codeberg as the main repo (with pushes to gitlab and github, in addition to a closed bitbucket repos). This ensures redundancy and users concerned about repo attacks can pull all the public repos and see if the repos are in sync.
