How big is your install base at work? Still wondering how to replace something like Active Directory, Group Policies and the like for centralized management akin to Windows based networks.

Remember that one, but honestly: not worth much testing a device exclusively in laboratory settings and not in real life situations.

It is a risk but I think not one you can and should avoid. At least if you want your mobile device to perform.

Exactly this. It checks periodically if a newer image for the tag of the container is available (e.g. vaultwarden:latest) and tells you about it. You can setup mail, sms, Teams, you name it.

So then you know a new version is available, can check the changelog and decide if the update is worth it.

Personally having great results with Diun. Same idea (check for newer container image) and works 100% for me.

Don’t know if it can automatically load and restart containers, rather do that personally.

Been using it for quite a while now, just does what it says on the tin without a hassle.

I’d say commit. If you just want to encrypt files in the cloud, it does so without getting in the way

They have the management aspect of large environments down to a tee. Apart from costs it does not really matter if your domain consists of ten, thousand or more systems. The tools to manage those systems centralized by core systems is the same set for all sizes so to speak.

That can be on one campus, across multiple cities and locations. It’s quite frankly IMO the foundation on which the success of Windows in the corporate world is built. Standardized deployment of settings across all company systems saves administrators time which can be used for other tasks instead of micromanaging clients.

I have yet to see a similar solution for Linux clients that works the same way.

Not really the way if one wants to cut ties with Microsoft completely though. And I suspect most would argue „then you can go the Windows route all the way and have less pain integrating client systems“.

Oh, Ansible is an interesting starting point. Would not thought of it for that purpose, I always „only“ link it mentally to automated deployment.

Will look into it out of curiosity.

How do you manage your fleet? How big is your network?

I‘d love to push for Linux at work, but have yet to see a solution with similar management capabilities than a Windows domain. And I don’t want to manage individual clients, as sysadmin I want to push templates like GPOs and the like.

Can see it work for smaller environments, but not in a company with a couple hundred machines.

From what I understand it was withdrawn as a vote „in favor of the goals of the commission“ was not guaranteed. In part because Germany announced its decision to withdraw support yesterday. Seems to be standard behavior.

Basically a pair of bouncers at the door to your Home Network whose specific purpose is to manage the flow of guests from outside (the internet) to your club (media server with library).

If you want to take a step in between: I am running Debian Testing on my notebook. Testing is the staging ground for the next major Debian Version, right now 13.

Still very much stable, but inherently more up to date packages. Not a real rolling release, but the closest you can get to a rolling Debian. Plenty of updates, but no problems in the past year I used it.

On top of what everyone else said: I REALLY hate the UI design of Chrome. We just don’t get along. Firefox always worked well for me.
