Of Containers and Commits

Lately I’ve been learning to use some modern toolsets for development, dusting off some rustier skills of administration and operations. Since I use Fedora it makes the Redhat toolset a little more tempting to reach for, so I did. The experience is pretty top-notch. ansible is nice once I understood how it’s actually used, but for my case it’s a complication with more cons than pros. At least until I run out of other systems to automate. The toolchain for containers is a pleasant experience too, podman is a fine replacement for docker, the interface is identical and (as I understand) systemd manages the containers instead of a docker daemon, one less active process seems like a benefit for simplicity but I’ll admit I can’t tell much of a difference for my use case.
