OS Options For My Docker Setup on Raspberry PIs

As you know from previous posts, I setup hass.io on a new RPI 4 recently. Well that’s been working great for months, more than 6 months actually.

Jenkins Docker Image with JCasC Part 2

Previously I wrote about a docker image that had Jenkins and the JCasC plugin. This post is about an update to that code with a few enhancements, such as: A job that runs daily that will apply the JCasC config, thus prevently drift. jenkins.yaml is split up into multiple yaml file and the entire dir is loaded.

The obvious method was using yum to install golang, but I noticed when I do that it installed tons of other things that I didn’t really need. Then I looked at compiling it myself, but I’d need tools like make and it isn’t as nice as one yum command. [Read More]
