[1377.56 --> 1379.24] Get started at thecloudguru.com.
[1379.24 --> 1380.90] Hello, people.
[1381.28 --> 1381.76] Wake up.
[1381.96 --> 1383.24] Chris and the Badger.
[1383.36 --> 1383.68] Morning.
[1384.06 --> 1384.74] All right, let's go.
[1384.82 --> 1385.22] Let's go.
[1385.30 --> 1385.82] Let's get up.
[1385.96 --> 1387.64] Or whenever you happen to listen to it, I guess.
[1387.88 --> 1389.42] On selfhosted.show.
[1390.26 --> 1391.06] Isn't that amazing?
[1391.40 --> 1392.68] That's so good.
[1393.00 --> 1396.50] That's exactly what I was thinking of when I was talking about it.
[1396.58 --> 1397.92] Do you know who sent that in?
[1397.96 --> 1399.42] Because it's pure amazement.
[1399.66 --> 1400.14] I do.
[1400.24 --> 1400.46] Yeah.
[1400.64 --> 1403.20] Someone on the Discord with the username, oh, yeah.
[1403.88 --> 1405.10] That's perfect, actually.
[1405.66 --> 1406.06] Wow.
[1406.80 --> 1407.82] Yeah, I really like that.
[1407.94 --> 1409.04] Yeah, I could see it, Alex.
[1409.18 --> 1413.84] You know, you and I in another reality, we're just two morning AM DJs talking about people's
[1413.84 --> 1416.66] tech problems and telling people about the morning commute.
[1417.06 --> 1417.96] And the traffic.
[1418.38 --> 1418.50] Yeah.
[1418.54 --> 1418.88] Yes.
[1419.40 --> 1420.70] Let's cut to the chopper.
[1421.06 --> 1421.24] Yeah.
[1421.84 --> 1424.00] We'd be good at it, I think, though, you know.
[1424.18 --> 1425.00] Are we silly enough?
[1425.00 --> 1428.06] Your whole bit would be like a silly face holding a coffee cup, right?
[1428.14 --> 1429.88] And my thing would be hats.
[1429.88 --> 1434.58] But it's a radio show, so it only works in the promotional material.
[1435.32 --> 1439.40] We had a question from Gone in a Flash on Twitter, and he asked,
[1439.68 --> 1445.02] I'm thinking about retiring my Docker on Rancher OS setup as it doesn't support Docker Compose.
[1445.58 --> 1449.90] What's the most supported and easy way to manage an alternative Docker system?
[1450.08 --> 1450.98] Is it something on Ubuntu?
[1451.56 --> 1454.12] Is that light and small as possible?
[1454.34 --> 1454.66] Thanks.
[1455.06 --> 1455.64] Gone in a Flash.
[1455.64 --> 1460.72] So he wants to move off of Rancher OS and embrace the Docker Compose lifestyle and is
[1460.72 --> 1462.88] wondering what the simplest minimalist stack is.
[1463.64 --> 1463.86] Whew.
[1464.56 --> 1468.06] That's a hard question to answer because we don't know exactly what his use case is.
[1468.40 --> 1469.42] What would you go, though?
[1469.48 --> 1470.44] What would be your go-to?
[1471.20 --> 1472.18] Perfectmediaserver.com.
[1473.04 --> 1473.38] Yeah.
[1473.62 --> 1474.82] That's an Ubuntu base, right?
[1475.30 --> 1475.58] Yeah.
[1475.58 --> 1478.38] So I base that off of Ubuntu 2004.
[1479.08 --> 1483.86] I use an answerable role by GeelingGuy to install Docker.
[1484.42 --> 1487.38] Although you could, of course, just install Docker however you like.
[1488.22 --> 1490.26] Install Docker Compose, and that's it.
[1490.30 --> 1490.56] You're done.
[1490.88 --> 1492.04] Really isn't a lot to it.
[1492.38 --> 1495.36] I think it's funny that this is coming from a Red Hat employee.
[1495.54 --> 1501.84] If anybody ever needed proof that Alex is independent and speaks his mind, there you have it.
[1501.84 --> 1506.28] But I think that's a fantastic setup, too, because the community support is huge.
[1506.72 --> 1511.92] The free five-year patches from Canonical on an LTS are pretty tough to beat at this point.
[1513.88 --> 1516.80] There's other games in town, but yeah.
[1517.34 --> 1521.04] Well, I've avoided commenting on the whole CentOS thing quite deliberately,
[1521.04 --> 1523.76] because obviously Red Hat pay my mortgage.
[1524.02 --> 1530.14] But, you know, I feel somewhat vindicated in my choice of using Ubuntu for my personal systems
[1530.14 --> 1534.80] and keeping that separation between work and pleasure with all this news.
[1535.02 --> 1537.16] So it's been an interesting time.
[1537.62 --> 1542.10] I know this is what nobody wants to hear right now because it's just too damn reasonable and low-key,
[1542.38 --> 1549.10] but I will go on record right now in early 2021 and say that I bet you CentOS Stream
[1549.10 --> 1551.90] makes for an excellent containers platform.
[1552.22 --> 1557.48] If you wanted to run Docker or Podman, CentOS could make a great host OS,
[1557.48 --> 1560.90] because, I mean, what was the thing that people loved about Core OS?
[1561.38 --> 1566.96] It was essentially rolling updates at an enterprise scale for an enterprise distribution to run your containers.
[1567.86 --> 1570.22] And what's CentOS Stream now?
[1570.70 --> 1576.48] It's going to be a consistently updated rolling enterprise-grade distribution that can run your containers.
[1576.98 --> 1583.68] I think it's worth considering going down that route, especially if you work with Red Hat systems.
[1583.68 --> 1587.38] But otherwise, I just really have to agree with Alex.
[1587.84 --> 1593.30] I think the Ubuntu ecosystem makes for a fantastic home server because there's such a good community support system out there.
[1593.74 --> 1597.38] Canonical really has their eye on the ball when it comes to their LTS releases.
[1598.00 --> 1600.54] And cloud support is just fantastic as well.
[1601.16 --> 1603.60] I mean, you could go with Debian without much penalty.
[1603.82 --> 1606.78] The reason that I go with Ubuntu really is for a couple of reasons.
[1607.16 --> 1610.68] The first is ZFS support baked right into the kernel.
[1610.68 --> 1613.20] That may or may not be important to you.
[1613.40 --> 1616.28] The other one is WireGuard support baked right in as well.
[1616.36 --> 1619.88] So for both of those things, you only have to install the user space tool.
[1619.98 --> 1623.26] You don't have to do any DKMS modules or anything crazy like that.
[1623.78 --> 1625.58] You could do the same thing on Debian.
[1625.84 --> 1631.94] And arguably, you know, if you're a freedom-respecting person, like I purport to be,
[1632.20 --> 1633.74] I should be running Debian everywhere.
[1633.74 --> 1637.30] But I don't like DKMS, so I run Ubuntu everywhere.
[1637.30 --> 1637.58] Yeah.
[1637.80 --> 1643.00] And having seen a bit behind the curtain for the Ubuntu development process,
[1643.36 --> 1648.14] I am keenly aware of the kind of attention that Canonical puts into an LTS.
[1648.32 --> 1650.64] It's not that they don't put a lot of work into their other releases,
[1650.98 --> 1655.18] but they really want to make sure that thing is enterprise-grade and supportable
[1655.18 --> 1657.30] for the time that they're committed to support it.
[1657.30 --> 1663.30] And that means it just gets a level of polish and pass that maybe Debian 9 doesn't.
[1663.30 --> 1665.92] I just wish they'd stop pushing snaps.
[1666.54 --> 1670.08] You know, it's such easy fodder for people when they come to me and say,
