  • those who do not want to pay for the time, effort and resources going into RHEL

    Standard RHEL server subscription costs 800$/year, a ridiculous price for an individual to pay (yeah I know it’s called Enterprise Linux, but still)


    those who want to repackage it for their own profit

    Funny considering that AlmaLinux OS Foundation is a non-profit


    The developer subscription provides no-cost RHEL to developers and enables usage for up to 16 systems, again, at no-cost

    Until RedHat decides to pull the rug, just like it already did with CentOS

    Also:

    The first thing to understand is that you cannot renew your no-cost Red Hat Developer Subscription for individuals after the first year. Unlike a paid subscription, the no-cost edition for developers is limited to one year.

    So, what’s a developer to do? Fortunately, that’s easy: You can just register again. Yes, it’s that simple. Once your developer subscription expires, simply re-register and get a new, no-cost subscription. Note that you must wait until your current subscription expires before you can renew it.

    Simply rebuilding code, without adding value or changing it in any way

    Yeah, I think setting up build and distribution infrastructure is not adding any value









  • A series of VPSes running AlmaLinux, I have a relatively big Ansible playbook to setup everything after the server goes online. The idea is that I can at any time scrape the server off, install an OS, put in all the persistent data (Docker volumes and /srv partition with all the heavy data), and run a playbok.

    Docker Compose for services, last time I checked Podman, podman-compose didn’t work properly, and learning a new orchestration tool would take an unjustifiable amount of time.

    I try to avoid shell scripts as much as possible because they are hard to write in such a way so that they handle all possible scenarios, they are difficult to debug, and they can make a mess when not done properly. Premade scripts are usually the big offenders here, and they are I nice way to leave you without a single clue how the stuff they set up works.

    I don’t have a selfhosting addiction.
