Nerdctl on Keloran blog and random stuff

Systemd Homed Buildkit

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 14:34:09 +0100

Premise

So I decided to switch my home directory to use systemd-homed, now this is a cool system that works with btrfs and does snapshoting built in, this led to a few issues though

Issue

So because of the way containerd and buildkit use squashfs it can’t submount inside the homed directory

Fix

If you have multiple hdds then this is easier, if not your gonna have to create a directory on your system, doing it where I did it is not a good idea, but I’m not an expert

NerdCTL on ArchLinux

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 17:41:50 +0100

ArchLinux NerdCTL

Arch is a lot like Slackware and Gentoo, whilst it does have a package manager, you have to know what you want before things work

so NerdCTL has the ability to use buildkit to install stuff on multi-arch but that isn’t as easy as you would like and as such there are a few things that need installing to make it work

Steps

This will need YAY (well there are others but if you copy paste then its yay)

Thu, 03 Feb 2022 10:46:56 +0000

Issue

So you are already using RancherDesktop and NerdCTL from the betas congrats, but you want to use the multi-platform build

so you need to update Rancher and Nerd, well thats where the issue exists, Lima doesnt update NerdCTL automatically so you need to update your instances version

Fix

First you need to get into the instance

LIMA_HOME=/Users/<username>/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima \
	/Applications/Rancher\ Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/limactl \
	shell 0 sudo --preserve-env=CONTAINERD_ADDRESS sh

Now that your in the instance, you need to update NerdCTL
