I encountered persistent issues with my container image build pipeline. The pipeline is run by my local GitLab CI instance. After struggling for a considerable period, I decided to address the problem by transitioning from a build setup relying on “docker” to a new setup built on “podman/buildah”. This required a complete overhaul of the build process. Unfortunately, this change broke the deployment of my website using GitLab CI.

I have been used to have a server running under my desk for years now. It serves “Nextcloud” for internal data sharing and “GitLab CE” for hosting my internal “git” repositories. Unfortunately this year was quite a hot one in terms of temperature. I was forced to shutdown the server multiple times due to the heat in my home office. As a result I started a research in order to find a solution about how to setup a much smaller system which does not heat up the room that much. This article describes my search to get it up and running with “Alpine Linux” in “diskless mode”.
