Lxc

• The Mastodon Migration

  Part 6 of the downsizing series: moving Mastodon off a lone Ubuntu VM onto official Docker images in an LXC, with media offloaded to S3 first — the win that landed the same day FreeIPA got shelved.

• Infrastructure to Build Infrastructure

  Part 4 of the downsizing series: the first commit, the first apply, and pushing the code to the server the code itself built.

• Why I Left XCP-ng for Proxmox

  Before any of the migration, there was a decision I didn't plan to make: the new cluster runs Proxmox, not XCP-ng. A Secure Boot wall, a YouTube channel I've trusted for years, and LXC containers are why.
