ReCI has been rewritten in Lua and is more polished than it was previously. So far Lua has been the best language for ReCI. This demo gives a bit of a peek at how it works now.
The demo first shows a test of ReCI running a build test for the J3ML library in a Fedora Docker container. Then the demo shows the different loggers, creating tags, and using macros.
Kubernetes shipping container sticker!

Huh, searching for something: A solution that uses docker to provide users with remote linux desktops. That is, a user logs in, then gets their own desktop, has their homedir save, but rest gets regenerated on next connect (or per schedule) and so is always updated.
I vaguely remember reading about something like it as a readymade solution, but can't find that anymore.
prepare the smallest violin available, as we may recall hearing fanboys crow about such worn topics as docker:
"FreeBSD doesn't have Docker support omg"
except there are multiple directions one can take to use Docker on FreeBSD, if they bothered to try.
I suspect much of the "it doesn't X when I want it to" type of sentiment stems from a lack of effort to obtain easily available information combined with misinformation which exists as anti-BSD FUD (just like anti-Linux FUD in the 2010s coming from MSFT users).

I haven't many details, yet, but I just received an interesting phone call. A client had a series of services on AWS and GCP, managed (independently) via Kubernetes.
Some time ago, they asked me for a development server, and I set up a dedicated server costing less than 100 euros monthly on FreeBSD. Inside, I put a Linux VM for Docker and a series of jails with PHP, nginx, various databases, etc., There are backups via zfs-autobackup and, on another slightly less powerful host, a clone of the data, ready to start at any time (replication every 5 minutes of all ZFS datasets for jails and VMs via zfs-send and zfs-receive).
After some training on its use, I hadn't heard any news.
They just informed me that for over a month, they've moved all workloads previously on various Kubernetes clusters into the jails I had set up and kept the VM running only for some dev.
With a cost of almost 1/10 compared to before, they're seeing equivalent or, in some cases, better performance.
There's no single tool valid for everyone, and you don't always need to over-engineer your workload.
I'll try to ask for more details in the coming days.

The Double-Edged Sword of Docker: Balancing Benefits and Risks
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/04/22/the-doubled-edge-sword-of-docker/
@alpalombo #docker ajuda muito muito mesmo :) usava #vagrant mas depois que conheci docker subir e testar as coisas local ficou muito mais simples.
In case anyone else ever has some fun with #docker and #libvirt / #kvm on #Linux 
By default the FORWARD table drops all packages...
To get vm's back on the net simply leverage #iptables to make the packets flow again:
$ sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i br0 -o br0 -j ACCEPT
You can install iptables-persistent to save the current ruleset so it is applied every time you restart the system. 😉
Did that on my #Debian workstation... I always fall for it. 😂
Yesterday's Jail/Zones call recording is up!
We discussed upcoming events, anti-FreeBSD FUD, @dch's OCI container progress and container registries, IPv6 networking and more!
Tonight Docker saved me a lot of time. I needed to recover a database from a backup. Instead of having a dump, I had the MySQL files directly. However, since they were from MySQL 5.5, they couldn't work with MySQL 8. Luckily, I found an old Docker container on Docker Hub with MySQL 5.5, and I was able to perform a dump in just a few minutes.
With so many #OpenSource projects offering #Docker as their primary way to use the app/service, it seems that the time will soon be upon me that I actually start to learn it. 🤔
