#general - August 2025

Any Snyk users here? I found a tool that is 100x better in terms of UX and....pretty much everything is you're looking for an alternative.

And you're just not going to tell us what it is? 🙃 Guess you're trying to sell something?

Can you please leave a emoji if you has over 50 developers in your Github org? I wanna see something.

No offense, but your last two posts have the same feel of phishing emails

Or those websites that look like they were built in 1994 that my mom keeps thinking are providing legitimate health products/advice. 🙄

Ya'll are crazy lol

Literally says a lot about a community that I can get two totally different reactions and one is positive and one is spastic

Was literally just exploring if I want to implement something on my backend for making my life easier as far as billing using the Org API in my Github app. Ya'll are dorks

Would this be the right place to ask questions about the docker-bastion app on your github?

It seems it wants to create some webhook to slack, I don't understand the purpose, seems like a security risk, besides the link to the guide is dead (Create a slack webhook. Follow this simple guide.)
It also seems to want to get my authorized_keys from github. I'm not saying github is not safe, but I feel it's an unnecessary step, both in terms ofmaking things more complicated than necessary, and a potential security risk.
Any way to get around those two?
It looks like a cool container, and I like how it has 2FA built in, but perhaps it's not designed for a simple home setup with a single user?

trying to understand !store. I see how to call values from different components using !store. However, I am confused on values get loaded into your store in the first place. I have looked though the documentation and nothing really explains that part. Any help would be appreciated.

👋 Hello, team! I'm new here, glad to be a part of this community. I sure hope to learn new things here.

Hey guys, new comer here!

Wonder if this is the right place to ask for tips such as useful cmdline tools and such?

I have a need to parse some logs and were looking for a tool that can do grok parsing in terminal (like awk but for grok)

For example I would have logs like [time] [info] [message] [success=3] [total=3] [fail=0] and would like to extract success, total and fail to compare.

Appreciate any tips!

Hi, quick question, what are some of the useful tips would you give to someone fresher in devops engineering? I didn't know where to post so I'm asking here. Appreciate your feedback, thanks!!

Hi All! Been here for a couple of years and rejoining on a new email 🚀

Hey everyone 👋
I’ve been thinking of giving my old Dell Vostro series laptop a second life by configuring it as a homelab. Instead of letting it gather dust, I want to use it to learn DevOps hands-on and avoid unnecessary cloud bills.
Here’s what I want to achieve:
1️⃣ Run Kubernetes locally – spin up nodes, run containers, add GitOps with Flux or ArgoCD, and set up proper monitoring, observability & security.
2️⃣ Self-hosting projects – experiment with services, automation, and infrastructure right from home.
💡 My goal: to build real-world experience with Kubernetes, GitOps, CI/CD, self-hosting, monitoring tools, and infrastructure automation—all without the cloud costs.
👉️ Now I need your valuable suggestions/feedback/inputs/advice on how to get started:
Which OS/distribution should I use?
Should I go with bare-metal installs, VMs, or Dockerized environments?
How do I optimize an older laptop for stability & performance?
Must-have tools, tips, or “watch-outs” you wish you knew when you started?
I’d love to hear from those of you who have already built your own homelabs. Your insights could help me (and many others here) get up and running faster!
📚️ Also feel free to tag any resources you have in mind.
