the mastodon official docker images carry a lot of unnecessary attack surface, i’m working on creating a more minimal set of images for each of the services
@ariadne melange is a spicy tool name
@ariadne I remember some news a few months ago that IPv6 support was added in EKS. Was it not?
@vwbusguy "other than GKE and EKS"
the problem with GKE and EKS is that you can go to sleep and wake up with a 8 figure bill
@ariadne My bad! I read it wrong. And you're absolutely right about that!
@ariadne I recently got our GKE bill down about 40% with some aggressive cleanup and instance type optimizations, which is a six-figure per year number. A little bit of laziness in implementation gets expensive fast at scale!
@ariadne It looks like LKE (Linode's managed version) now supports it: https://www.linode.com/blog/kubernetes/kubernetes-v1-21-1/
nah, it doesn't:
Please note ipv4/ipv6 dual-stack support is not currently available in the Linode Kubernetes Engine with the release of Kubernetes v1.21.1. This feature is under consideration with our product development team.
@ariadne Boo. I know it was at least added in k3s.
@ariadne please keep the Alpine builds available 😬🙏
@RyuKurisu i don't really see why it matters 🙃
@ariadne what is your $dayjob's upstream distribution actually? 🤔
@RyuKurisu it will be released soon, it's alpine-like, but at the same time, not alpine-like 🙃
@ariadne I'll be very curious
@RyuKurisu i think of it as "what if we did alpine, but knowing what we know now" basically
@ariadne that's why I dropped docker and went baremetal(vm)... could harden that better with my oldness.
@thegibson i almost have mastodon working without /bin/sh 🙃
@ariadne now that would be cool. :)
@thegibson @ariadne awesome indeed!
@ariadne i just spent a couple days getting my node up. The docs sucked!
this combined with knative will likely become the easiest way to deploy a secure fediverse node in the future
