@hexa:lossy.networkhexa adamcstephens: do you have some experience with lxc? 16:46:24
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawondering how useful it is for actually deploying lightweight services16:50:13
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephenswithout incus you mean?17:10:18
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawith incus17:11:34
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensyes, i use lxc containers managed by incus17:13:17
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensi have a mix of VMs and containers17:13:33
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaquestion would be … do you build your own images?17:15:05
@hexa:lossy.networkhexalike with configured services17:15:12
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaor do you use external configuration management17:15:26
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaor are these entirely handrolled containers 🙂 17:15:46
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensi have, but these days i use the nixos images and reconfigure them on provision17:15:48
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaand how do they update?17:16:02
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensit's a full nixos install, so just like any system17:16:12
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephenspersonally i have my own deployment system i've been working on for a long time, but you can update them in your preferred nixos way17:16:58
@hexa:lossy.networkhexayeah, I could, but my colleagues lmao 😄 17:17:46
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensother distros work fine in containers too. 17:18:06
@hexa:lossy.networkhexayeah, but provisioning 😄 17:18:16
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensbut again they're "fat" containers, aka full OS.17:18:20
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephenshow do you manage your VMS?17:18:28
@hexa:lossy.networkhexalike if I have to run ansible to set them up17:18:31
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathat's not worth it17:18:37
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephenscloud-init?17:18:48
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa😱17:18:55
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa I don't think :scream: correctly reflects my reaction 17:19:09
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephenshaha17:19:14
@hexa:lossy.networkhexait looks as if I was shocked17:19:22
@hexa:lossy.networkhexabut instead I'm mad because you proposed that 😛 17:19:34
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensi could say the same about ansible ;)17:19:40
