Route traffic across Podman networks with Traefik

 April 30, 2025

If you’ve followed my posts over the years, you know I prefer clean solutions to less clean ones for my home lab (more to come on this!). Over the past year, I settled on a pattern that gives me the isolation of Kubernetes Namespaces without any of its weight: one private Podman network per application, plus Traefik in a shared “DMZ” network that terminates TLS and forwards traffic where it needs to go.

Fedora on Scaleway Dedibox with bootc

 March 31, 2025

For a while now, I’ve been looking into optimizing and reorganizing some of the infrastructure that powers my self-hosting services. After evaluating a few alternatives, Scaleway’s Dedibox lineup caught my attention: it is a European company with good hardware and decent pricing.

However, as with every good solution, it is not perfect. Scaleway does not provide Fedora as an OS option for their Dedibox machines. They offer a decent selection, including Rocky Linux, Debian, and Ubuntu — but no Fedora. Now, if you know me, you know that Fedora is not just my distro of choice — it’s the one I trust for both personal and professional projects.

Upcoming Events: CentOS Connect, FOSDEM, and CfgMgmtCamp

 January 31, 2025

The next few days are shaping up to be packed with open-source goodness! I’ll be heading to CentOS Connect, FOSDEM, and CfgMgmtCamp, three of the best events in the ecosystem. These conferences always include a great mix of technical talks, hallway conversations, and spontaneous meetups with friends—both old and new.

If you’re around, let’s catch up!

CentOS Connect (Brussels, January 31)
Although the event run yesterday and today, I’ll only be able to attend today. CentOS Connect is a small but incredibly valuable event where the wider CentOS community (Fedora, CentOS, and all the Enterprise Linux distros) meets to discuss the space’s present and future. It’s a great opportunity to meet contributors, learn about upcoming changes, and exchange ideas with people who shape the CentOS ecosystem. I really like this event because its atmosphere is similar to Flock: very casual and more like a friends’ gathering than a conference.
