#container

14 posts14 participants1 post today

When starting a Docker #container, this uses a so-called "#Docker Image" in the background. These images can be built on top of each other (called layers).

An image can be created from yet another image, potentially resulting in many many layers.

To extract files and directories from all these layers, there's some patience and wizardry needed.

Or you use our #HowTo which shows a really nice helper script doing all the work for you. 👇

Last night I was up until 2AM trying to get #trunas #amd drivers installed inside of a #docker #container so that #ollama would actually use the #gpu. I was so close. It sees the gpu, it sees it has 16GB of ram, then it uses the #cpu.

Trunas locks down the file system at the root level, so if you want to do much of anything, you have to do it inside of a container. So I made a container for the #rocm drivers, which btw comes to like 40GB in size.

It's detecting, but I don't know if the ollama container has some missing commands, ie rocm or rocm-info, that it may need.

Another alternative is one I don't really want, and that's to install either #debian or windows as a VM - windows because I did a test on the application that runs locally in windows on this machine before and it was super fast. It isn't ideal from RAM usage, but I may be able to run the models more easily with the #windows drivers than the #linux ones.

But anyway, last night was too much of #onemoreturn for a weeknight.

Container technology as a service, hosted on a Swiss infrastructure – that's the legendary Nine Kubernetes Engine. 💻🇨🇭 The Kubernetes clusters we manage include a fully managed software stack that offers everything you need to run your applications in production successfully. ✅ See our Kubernetes offerings for yourself on our website: nine.ch/products/kubernetes/ – so that in the future, you can spend more time on your applications again. 👈 #nke #kubernetes #managed #container #cluster #nine

I haven't had the need 'til now, but #TIL that you can store #container images in a file and load the image from the file later. Very useful for workshops and disconnected computers:
```
docker save -o /Volumes/MyUSB/oracle-db23ai-free.image.tar container-registry.oracle.com/database/free:latest
docker load -i /Volumes/MyUSB/oracle-db23ai-free.image.tar
```

Wrote a little parser for meshcore packets tonight. It's still messy and a lot more to implement. But, it reads the container format so I'm happy for now.

I have meshcore packets flowing from multiple repeaters(on different frequencies) talking on wifi using udp broadcasts.

The repeaters automatically discover each other on the network and now I'm able to watch their chatter with a quick nodejs server.
