From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The amount of the internet and cloud infrastructure that is built on public Docker images makes this... worrying.
Isn't it about people pushing their keys to public? I feel like this doesn't affect the pulling side
It’s actually how people build their images, in which some include sensitive data (when they should definitely not). It’s the same problem as exposed S3 buckets actually, nothing wrong with docker in itself.
aws s3 sync s3://barrys-nudes/ .
Have you seen the instructions on how to build the Lemmy images? That's some crazy shit ...
Actually yes, I had a look at them since i wanted to write HelmCharts for the community. That’s also where the community can step up, it can only be better 😊
I actually started looking into creating own Docker images because of how bad Lemmy's Docker instructions are. I'm not even close to anything usable, though ...
I understand! If you need help to do that (or someone to contribute), hit me up ! 😄
