I have lost now not hours, but days debugging their terrible AIO container. Live production code stored in persistent volumes. Scattered files around the main drive in seemingly arbitrary locations. Environment variables that are consistently ignored/overrided. It’s probably my number one example of worst docker containers and what not to do when designing your container.

It’s because with docker you don’t need to do log files. Logging should be to stdout, and you let the host, orchestration framework, or whoever is running the container so logs however they want to. The container should not be writing log files in the first place, containers should be immutable except for core application logic.

Persistent storage should never be used for logging in docker. Nextcloud is one of the worst offenders of breaking docker conventions I’ve found, this is just one of the many ways they prove they don’t understand docker.

Logs should simply be logged to stdout, which will be read by docker or by a logging framework. There should never be “log files” for a container, as it should be immutable, with persistent volumes only being used for configuration or application state.

I was just thinking yesterday - when was the last time we server owners actually had a feature update? I think last one I noticed was credits skip, and that was… 3 years ago? About?

Meanwhile Jellyfin apparently has been developing full steam ahead, I noticed credit skips in my test instance yesterday.

Did they really? Oh my god please tell me your joking, that a company as modern as docker got a freaking oracle CEO. They pulled a Jack Barker. Did he bring his conjoined triangles of success?

I mean, it’s a valid reason. I originally joined Discord back in 2016 because of it’s easy to use voice. It became the standard for voice chat. Before that I had been using the Xbox party chat and other garbage voice systems.

Matrix doesn’t offer the same experience as discord. I’m sorry but it doesn’t. I set up my own to compare to see if my friend group would like it, and it was quite a step backwards. Even in it’s best platform element it was missing a lot of stuff from discord.

So, things like this I’d be very interested to watch. Revolt looked the most promising but it didn’t offer federation, and I wasn’t going to make everyone have a separate accountjust for our server

So this will be interesting. I will need at least voice to get them to come over, but I’ll watch this project closely
