  • Migrating to Github Packages

    I have been running a free version of Proget locally for years now. It served as a home for Nuget packages, Docker images, and Helm charts for my home lab projects. But, in an effort to slim down the apps that are running in my home lab, I took a look at some alternatives. Where…

  • Tech Tip – Chiseled Images from Microsoft

    I have been spending a considerable amount of time in .Net 8 lately. In addition to some POC work, I have been transitioning some of my personal projects to .Net 8. While the details of that work will be the topic of a future post (or posts), Microsoft’s chiseled containers are worth a quick note.…

  • Installing Minio on a Synology Diskstation with Nginx SSL

    In an effort to get rid of a virtual machine on my hypervisor, I wanted to move my Minio instance to my Synology. Keeping the storage interface close to the storage container helps with latency and is, well, one less thing I have to worry about in my home lab. There are a few guides…

  • Ubuntu and Docker…. Oh Snap!

Now, I had previously built out a few Ubuntu…

  • Windows docker containers for TeamCity Build Agents

    I have been using TeamCity for a few years now, primarily as a build tool for some of our platforms at work.  However, because I like to have a sandbox in which to play, I have been hosting an instance of TeamCity at home for roughly the same amount of time.  At first, I went…

  • Building and deploying container applications

    On and off over the last few months, I have spent a considerable amount of time working to create a miniature version of what could be a production system at home. The goal, at least in this first phase, is to create an API which supports containerized deployment and a build and deploy pipeline to…

  • Polyglot v2 and Docker

    Update: I was able to get this working on my Docker server. Check out the details here. Before you read through all of this:  No, I have not been able to get the Polyglot v2 server working in Docker on my docker host (Ubuntu 18.04).  I ended up following the instructions for installing on a…

  • Let’s try this again.

    Throughout my professional career and personal life, I have made several attempts at “resolutions” to blog more.  I’ve gone through several iterations of software, including some home-grown solutions, then wordpress, then blogger/blogspot.  I’m back to WordPress hosted on a small server here at home. The goal of this whole endeavor is to document some of…
