The "minimal" part is incorrect; it is a super complicated container. The number of moving parts don't leave me with any confidence that I could keep it running or fix any issues going forwards.
Mainly for security. I was originally looking at CoreOS but I liked the additional improvements by the UBlue team. Since I only want it to run containers, it is a huge security benefit to be immutable and designed specifically for that workflow.
The Ignition file is super easy to do, even for just one server (substitute docker for podman depending which you have):
Take a copy of the UCore butane file:
https://github.com/ublue-os/ucore/blob/main/examples/ucore-autorebase.butane
Update it with your SSH public key and a password hash by using this command:
# Get a password hash
podman run -ti --rm quay.io/coreos/mkpasswd --method=yescrypt
Then host the butane file in a temporary local webserver:
# Convert Butane file to Ignition file
podman run -i --rm quay.io/coreos/butane:release --pretty --strict < ucore-autorebase.butane > ignition.ign
# Serve the Igition file using a temp webserver
podman run -p 5080:80 -v "$PWD":/var/www/html php:7.2-apache
During UCore setup, type in the address of the hosted file, e.g. http://your_ip_addr:5080/ignition.ign
That's it - UCore configures everything else during setup.___
Rootless Podman :) It requires you to learn a little bit of new syntax, for example, the way you mount volumes and pass environment variables can be slightly different, but there's nothing that hasn't worked for me.
I'm using this on uBlue uCore, which I would also strongly recommend for security reasons.
Wonderful response, and I agree completely. It echoes the thoughts I've tried to convey to friends in their 20s, but much more eloquently than I have managed.
I switched and was very glad to do so. You increase your security and so far I haven't seen any downside. Every container I've tried has worked without issues, even complex ones.
Why not Actual Budget, which is also self-hosted, open-source bucket budgeting based off YNAB, however it appears to be a lot more mature.
They also transparently run the project on Open Collective which I like: https://opencollective.com/actual
More than just ChatGPT:
๐ Sounds a lot like this classic example where residents complained about headaches, rashes, nausea, tinnitus, etc from a cell tower, only for it to be revealed that it was not powered up:

"Headaches, nausea, tinnitus, dry burning itchy skins, gastric imbalances and totally disrupted sleep patterns..."
At the meeting Van Zyl agreed to turn off the tower with immediate effect to assess whether the health problems described by some of the residents subsided. What Craigavon residents were unaware of is that the tower had already been switched off in early October โ six weeks before the November meeting where residents confirmed the continued ailments they experienced.
The standalone Google Pay app will be shut down.
Google Wallet (which is almost certainly what you're using) will still be functioning as normal.
If it's chunky as hella, you got stew there fella.
