counter argument: if your doing poo poo with docker redhat/centos have old kernels that have stuff randomly backported to it. it’s gotten better, but it’s still a shitshow.

most folks doing kubernetes use coreos, Ubuntu or Debian for the host, and only RHEL derivatives if they are doing openshift or otherwise mentally challenged.

At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter, as GKE uses a ChromeOS derivative(which is a derivative of Gentoo) and it’s the best hosted kubernetes platform at the moment. it actually makes more sense to bake your host as an immutable image and destroy the whole thing when you want to upgrade a package so the chromeos/coreos model is superior.


as for docker containers themselves, most use Debian or alpine as a base, if you see someone using rhel for docker, they are doing it wrong.

It’s not random, it’s security fixes and that’s it. Also there is a elrepo if you need a new kernel.

I use BuildRoot for release, CentOS for development.

writing go and deploying it as a container with 1 file in it looks nice. will never get to do that but it looks nice

I know that this is the desktop thread but wasn’t there a Fedora Atomic Host that was Red Hat’s answer to CoreOS? I think it uses the same idea of using an immutable image. Are they still developing that?

they bought coreos and the plan is to replace coreos with atomic. Everyone’s pissed as redhat is missing the point of it(I don’t want to use ostree, and we settled on immutable images, I don’t care about updating the host).

Coreos already hosed up bigtime imo when they ditched aci for oci. Proper image discovery and building dropped overnight in favour of.... what? buildah? podman? skopeo? Cri-o?? Runc? Who loving knows any more

other way around. ContainerLinux is becoming Fedora CoreOS, and that'll be the upstream to Red Hat CoreOS, which will be the immutable host OS for OpenShift. Atomic is essentially being sunset.

gentoo is ~what you make it to be~, it's a meta distribution, a build-your-own-distro kit. if you think it still it trash it is because you didn't do anything in it.

i think we're using different words to say the same thing. yes, gentoo is a pile of garbage that you get the joy of picking through to cobble together a half-working system. if that is what you want to do on your free time that's fine, everyone needs a hobby. i myself did some questionable things in college, including gentoo experimentation. what i object strongly to is the notion that gentoo is ever appropriate for any use in the workplace, where innocent coworkers and customers will be impacted by the gentooer's bad decisions

i use gentoo professionaly because:
  • it gives you crossdev
  • extreme control over the building process built-in in a package manager. why use yocto or buildroot when you can use ~portage~
