They are so heavy on security I have a Citrix environment that takes me 3 logins

My daily routine:

  1. Take laptop out of locked shelf
  2. Start Laptop and enter boot password
  3. Enter Bitlocker password
  4. Enter username (not saved) and password
  5. Open Citrix website and login with different username and password
  6. Enter MFA token to access said website
  7. Start server connection
  8. Enter different username/password (not saved) to access server
  9. Enter different MFA token for the server login
  10. Start the business-specific application with 3rd set of not saved and different login data

They also have plans to make MFA mandatory for laptop login, too.

Passwords need to be at least 15 characters long for laptops and 30 for servers and 10 for the business-specific application. All need to have uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters and need to be changed every 60 days (for the server login) and cannot be the last 30 passwords.

Given this context it seems much more reasonable having such a complex and long instructions page on how to run it in Docker. This seems to be something you don't just try and run simply for checking it out.

I looked at the instructions it under the premise of "lightweight wiki server" and did not check in detail what this specific software is.

Any small Linux distro would do. Just install Docker and maybe Portainer (as container itself of course) if you want a web UI.

Wow, they really hate the idea that everyone could just spin up a Docker container with their wiki software.

So better put Docker in a VM so it can't do any harm to the host?

I'll always prefer the repositories, but Flatpak comes in handy for applications with weird dependencies where you need to compile everything needed on your own - or outdated 32 bits software.

Text-to-speech is now constantly screaming, too!

I care about anything. RAM usage, file size, etc. I'm a minimalist when it comes to software. Use as less of all resources as possible. After once writing a router in Python I thought I could do this in Lua, too, but never actually tried. Maybe this would be a nice weekend project?

Even if Nginx is the way to go, I currently experiment with SWS which was suggested here. Technical aspects aside: The software is actively developed and the maintainer provides Docker images on their own (easy for Deploying a container based on that) and a package for my distribution (easy for development testing).

Yes, Freenginx should/would/will be a drop-in replacement, at least int he beginning. We'll see how this works out over time. Forks purely out of frustration never lived long enough to gain a user base and attract devs. But it's an "anti corporate bullshit" fork and this alone puts it on my watchlist.

Thank you for nothing, Outlook.

Thanks for educating me on basic computer knowledge! 🤣

Applications need RAM, though. A full-fledged webserver with all the bells and whistles likely needs more ram than a specialized single-binary static file delivery server.
