    Here is what I listen to (I also work in DevOps):

Every week we get together, talk about recent tech news, and answer some of your admin-related questions.
    • https://www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/aws-morning-brief/ - Chief Cloud Economist Corey Quinn goes through the torrent of news about Amazon’s cloud ecosystem and strains out the noise. Then he takes what’s left and gently and lovingly makes fun of it.

  • This is definitely an over-engineered setup…

    I store my Docker Compose files in an internal-only git repo (hosted on Gitea).

    Drone is my CI/CD system, and I use Renovatebot to look for updates to container tags (never pull latest). My workflow is this:

    1. Renovatebot runs once a night (at midnight) via Drone in a Docker container (I’ve written about this here). If a new image tag is found, it opens a PR in Gitea.
    2. I manually log in to Gitea and approve the PR.
    3. The PR approval (merging to master) kicks off a Drone workflow that does the following:
      • Runs an Alpine Linux container
      • SSHes from the Alpine Linux container into my Docker host
      • Runs a script (on the Docker host) that basically runs git pull, then docker compose -f "$D" pull and then docker compose -f "$D" up -d.
      • If there is a failure, Drone emails me

    I’ve written about step 3 here.

    This means I never manually update Docker Compose files, I let Renovate manage everything, I approve PRs, then I walk away and let the scripts run.

    I also run a single-node K3s cluster that is hosted on GitHub. Again, using Renovate to open PRs, and I run Flux so watch for changes to master, which then redeploys applications.
