Docker Boxes

I’m not super well acquainted with docker, coming from the pre 2000 world of the internet: but I’m learning.

Containerized Deployments?

Way Back When

In the old days of the computers, as programs (or apps) grew in complexity, dependencies and subsystems required configuration to create an appropriate environment for the programs to run.

And Now

Nowadays some people ship programs with the environment built in. This makes it much easier in general to get new programs installed and operating quickly.

Tools

One of the tools I’ve been using to learn is RunTipi, which is very simple and easy to install and use. It’s designed for self hosters to run behind a firewall with port forwarding but can also be run with SSL certs on the public net.

Runtipi has over 200 apps in its repository and most install with the click of a button.

Uptime Monitor

Olive the Time in the World

Olive.root.sbs is the location of Root’s uptime monitoring service.

Olive serves an instance of Uptime Kuma so even if the main Root site is down you can see what services are up, or to diagnose connectivity issues

Check the Garden Status page for Root’s current uptime report. You may request an account on olive to monitor your own sites and services.

Email

Branching out

Self hosted email is a nightmare, but I’ve actually succeeded in mailing my inbox for once. It isn’t full proof but it works sometimes. I believe the inconsistencies are due to “domain warming.”

While DIY domains are on sale I bought the name “branch.diy” to stand as a community email service, at least for a year when the cost of registration goes up.

Branch.diy is powered by Mailinabox.

System Monitoring

Pine and Dandy

Server monitoring for your systems and mine. Pine.root.sbs serves up monitoring with beszel, a very lightweight multi user systems analysis tool.

Beszel has a nice interface and is very simple to install and use. Everything presents clean, even on my phone.

If you want to give Pine a try, perform one or more of these actions:
