After some months of on and off work with @Conan-Kudo on improving mageia’s docker images build tools to support multi-arch builds, we finally were able to add armv7hl support to mageia 6. Usage is completely transparent to the user, when pulling the image, the...

I have not done any improvements to one of my first docker containers, a SMTP relay, despite the fact that it has resulted quite popular on docker hub (a 1M+ downloads to date !!). Lately I have done some work and received some pull requests with some improvements...

Another missing feature of my OTRS docker containers was the automation of the backup files. OTRS already includes a backup script, and we also included a convenience script that runs that script with default parameter values (full backups, gzip compressed), which you...

One missing feature of my OTRS docker containers was automating a major version upgrade without any manual configuration. It should be as easy to do as it is launching it. Minor versions upgrades are easy: just pull the new image and restart your containers. For...

I was looking for an ansible role to install BigBlueButton with SSL support, but it seems there’s not much roles out there for this. Searching I the Internet the most complete one I found was this one, but it was outdated (last commit from two years ago) and...

Mageia 6 was released last week, so during this week I worked on updating the official docker images too. This new release includes a new package manager additional to urpmi called dnf from the Fedora Project, which makes it now possible to offer third-party free and...

At work we use OTRS for our help desk platform. We chose it because it’s open source and very flexible, and we could install it on our premises to have more control. So, I went ahead and made a set of docker containers that we have been running multiple OTRS...

I’m setting up a network install server on a VirtualBox VM, and I didn’t want to copy the contents of the iso images of the distros going to be available through PXE to avoid having a huge VM. Worse if I also included other repos like epel or centosplus,...
