Portainer is awesome. I did a major homelab consolidation project earlier this year. I went from having two clustered r620s with Proxmox down to a single node running half a dozen VMs and a pile of containers. Been getting more and more into containerization and it has helped immensely. There are a few more things I have yet to containerize but that will be this summer probably.

@@AwesomeOpenSource I tried working with Kubernetes for a while, but I like how much simpler Portainer is. Yes, Kubernetes has a bunch more options and features, but I really don't need anything like that for my homelab. The most I have is a couple environments set up in Portainer and that works perfectly fine for me. I just toss a docker-compose file into a stack, add any environment variables needed and hit Deploy and its off.

Can't remember if you have mentioned this in your recent series - how come you chose Authentik over KeyCloak? The triviality of many of the github issues and BeryJu's own admission that they're a solo dev... makes me think the Redhat-developed CNCF Keycloak might be more stable. Was it down to current plugin availability perhaps? Keen to hear your thoughts.

@AwesomeOpenSource

It was really about me just finding Authentik more appealing. I head heard lots of stories of difficulties with Keycloak from folks I consider to be top notch IT guys, and it kind of made me steer away from it for a long time.

How do you go about checking the security of FOSS that you use? Do you just go off number of d/ls and absence of negative reports and hope for the best, or do you go through the source code (including dependent librarires and packages) line by line? Do you run them sandboxed first while looking for port connections etc?

It's a completely valid question. I could go through everything line-by-line, if that was my job, but since it's not, I do have to have some level of trust in the world of open source community members, the security researchers, and the developers.

Tried a few (python3 with pip3 and some extensions, MeteorJS, and others) 3. No RustDesk (that worked) anyway, and that's a tool I 100% need. Other than those few things, it was really good though.
