How do I create a docker container with custom programs inside?

Hello! I have a free account at hide.me and would like to try to use it with my docker compose containers. The free plan does not give me the keys for openVPN of Wireguard configuration, but only through the official client. I’d like then to create a docker container that runs the official hide.me client inside, and exposes it...

mvirts, (edited )

Idk anything about those softwares, but I would bet if you set up the hide.me client in a container you could add it to the same network in compose then configure all the other containers to use it as their gateway… I’m probably missing some details and you may need to rebuild all of your containers, or maybe just change the network settings in your compose yaml?

mvirts,

You can run vsts natively on Linux these days… Not that I actually do 😹but surge may make me give it a shot, I didn’t know LV2 is unsupported

mvirts, (edited )

Surge XT, it’s LV2 but still awesome

Also I’m a zynaddsubfx / yoshimi die hard. Not for everyone but it can do almost everything if you can live with 8bit automation parameters

But hey, at least everyone supports webp now. (lemmy.world)

Context: Even though Chromium has native support for AVIF, a very nice image format, Microsoft goes out of their way to remove it from Edge, which is a chromium fork. Jpeg XL (JXL) (not to be confused with Jpeg (JPG) or Jpeg 2000 (jpg2k) ) is another nice image format, which, IIRC, is only supported in Firefox.

mvirts,

Let’s rename JXL to GPEJ to give GIF pronunciation a run for its money

Linux file transfer speed bottlenecks?

I’m currently watching the progress of a 4tB rsync file transfer, and i’m curious why the speeds are less than the theoretical read/write maximum speeds of the drives involved with the transfer. I know there’s a lot that can effect transfer speeds, so I guess i’m not asking why my transfer itself isn’t going faster....

mvirts,

I would put money on rsync being the issue, it’s not fast

mvirts,

I’ll try it once Linux support kinda works

mvirts,

Ya. And sometimes hosting companies run active scans on customer machines. I get a crazy number of login attempts over ssh. I ❤️ fail2ban

mvirts,

I do think it’s important to emphasize the difference between installing software in user environments and system wide, which is why the tool is named nix-env. System packages must be installed via the nixos configuration file and a rebuild.

To me the biggest missing piece for new users is a tool to help manage your system configuration and reduce the frustration of having to constantly look up nix syntax or nixpkgs quirks. Maybe thinking of it as a nixos/nix IDE? Also a polished distribution built on nixos would be a good starting point (and easy to do, I didn’t realize I could just copy someone else’s configuration until well after I had my system working well enough)

The other thing that got me starting out is the need to garbage collect old packages. It’s not strictly necessary if you have a large enough disk, but it took me several iterations of filling my root partition before I figured out how to properly clean up old generations.

mvirts,

I think ultimately

Sudo nix-collect-garbage --delete-old

Is my go-to command. For a while I was looking at generations manually, but now I just wait a while (days, a few reboots, or until I need more space) to run this after changing things in case the new stuff is broken.

I think running this as my normal user cleans out old env generations… But I’m not 100% sure.

mvirts,

Oh I remember trying this, I should give it another go!

mvirts,

Nothing unsolvable, but it can be a pain when you want to run something not in nixpkgs. My solution is to have Ubuntu on a separate partition, and I was using docker to solve this problem for a while but have moved away from it.

mvirts,

For years I thought this settled the source of FRBs, from the headlines

mvirts,

We used to think that sickness was due to a god’s displeasure, not noticing what we now take for granted that disease spreads through contact.

mvirts,

Can you get Internet access somehow? (Ethernet, Bluetooth, phone via USB) then try the driver manager gui …readthedocs.io/…/drivers.html

mvirts,

Nothing, unless you’re not using nixos, then everything 😹

mvirts,

I’m gonna come clean: I used awesome wm for years, never touched the configuration once 😹. Now I do the same with gnome

(Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit...

mvirts,

You can’t have the best of both worlds
