[2026-01-08T07:35:16Z] phoebos pls update neovim package [2026-01-08T16:38:07Z] Hello everyone, can someone help me with docker? I'm trying to get a devcontainer to work however the socket doesn't seem to work at all [2026-01-08T16:38:16Z] does anyone have experience in this? [2026-01-08T19:54:51Z] whut [2026-01-08T19:54:54Z] elisoli [2026-01-08T19:55:09Z] 0.11.5 is the latest [2026-01-08T19:55:14Z] ? [2026-01-08T21:23:30Z] mhhh, why do we have docker in the repos but not podman? [2026-01-08T21:24:09Z] IMO podman is way nicer and arguably... simpler? after turning on the right knobs in the kernel of course [2026-01-08T21:24:45Z] there was kiss-containers with it but it was last updated 5 years ago and does not have a license. Trivial code interpretations aside, I decided to repackage them myself from scratch [2026-01-08T21:25:09Z] should I submit it to community? [2026-01-08T21:26:20Z] it also requires a few packages, but they're all surprisingly tiny: shadow-utils (which depends on libbsd and libdm), passt (it's TINY), and netavark (rust based but offers a pre-made vendor directory, which is nice) [2026-01-08T22:02:36Z] no aight the docs say that it might require other stuff [2026-01-08T22:03:14Z] I could bundle the various helpers though, they're really only used by it [2026-01-08T22:07:37Z] im more curious as to why docker is in community to begin with though [2026-01-08T22:08:10Z] well why not really [2026-01-08T22:08:21Z] flatpak is [2026-01-08T22:08:29Z] and containers are the only sane way to run certain software unfortunately [2026-01-08T22:08:52Z] if you have no other choice you either run a vm (which is way slower) or change distro altogether [2026-01-08T22:09:11Z] there are also chroots but they bring their own set of problems [2026-01-08T22:11:22Z] conty will solve all of your problems with less steps and less dependencies [2026-01-08T22:12:05Z] atleast thats my opinion. people can obviously disagree with me on this, and thats fine [2026-01-08T22:12:14Z] I still think conty is a better solution here [2026-01-08T22:22:46Z] it's nice yea, but I don't personally go crazy with the fact that it's "pre-made". It's basically a huge tarball of stuff that you either like or not [2026-01-08T22:22:57Z] while regular containers are way more flexible and configurable [2026-01-08T22:23:00Z] even just flatpak [2026-01-08T22:27:46Z] you do know that you can make conty use w/e distro you want, right? :P it doesnt have to be arch, and it doesnt have to include all that jazz that it comes with ootb [2026-01-08T22:30:34Z] oh that's nice [2026-01-08T22:30:51Z] that could be a nice alternative to the random chroots I have lying around [2026-01-08T22:30:59Z] but I still feel like it covers different usecases [2026-01-08T22:33:05Z] thank you for bringing that up tho, I'm definitely giving it a look [2026-01-08T22:44:25Z] its not covered in the official docs though, but if you think about it, its just a squashfs file. so it doesnt have to be arch at all. it can be kiss, it can be oasis, it can be linux from scratch if you want it to :p [2026-01-08T22:45:07Z] well yes, it was built for gamers in mind, atleast thats the vibe its given me. I dont recall if its in the docs or not, but with the package list in mind, Id say gaming is its mai purpose :p [2026-01-08T23:25:43Z] yea [2026-01-08T23:25:56Z] there's a "making your own conty image" section in the readme or smth [2026-01-08T23:26:01Z] I think it's covered by that [2026-01-08T23:26:17Z] also nice that you can now compile everything required (it bundled bwrap and stuff) [2026-01-08T23:39:45Z] there is, but it doesnt cover other distros. not that I think its neccessary, as you can easily just change the script to fetch an alpine tarball instead. I mean its just bash scripts. I do wish it wasnt bash, and instead was just POSIX sh, but for some reason, dev doesnt seem to see it that way 'because conty already has bash' or something along those lines [2026-01-08T23:41:31Z] hm, interesting. a new wm using swc https://git.sr.ht/~dlm/hevel [2026-01-08T23:41:43Z] its mousedriven
