Today I learned that I can use Buildah to mount a container image and install packages on top of it from the host.
microcontainer=$(buildah from registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi-micro) micromount=$(buildah mount $microcontainer) yum install \ --installroot $micromount \ --releasever 8 \ --setopt install_weak_deps=false \ --nodocs -y httpd yum clean all \ --installroot $micromount buildah umount $microcontainer buildah commit $microcontainer ubi-micro-httpd Source...

Today I learned abour Redpanda which is a streaming service alternative to Kafka.
Redpanda has implemented its internal Raft concensus algorithm and has no Zookeeper. Redpanda is writting in C++ which make it JVM free, and more developer-friendly for non Java Devs. Redpanda is compatible with Kafka API. Redpanda laverages WASM to enable one-shot transformations. Devs can write their data transformation in any language (compilable to WASM) and compile it to WASM and run it in Redpanda....
Today I learned about the podman auto-update command. It updates all the containers managed by systemd (e.g. created by podman-generate-systemd --new) to the newest image version.
