How to bind a rootless container to a privileged port on Linux

Posted on by

One of the main innovations introduced by Podman was the ability to run rootless containers. Security wise, this was a big improvement, since a potentially compromised container running as root represents a security threat for the host system. In order to obtain a similar behavior, recent versions of Docker support running the docker daemon in the user context. Running unprivileged containers, albeit more secure, has also its drawbacks, as the inability to bind to privileged host ports.

[$] Hyphens, minus, and dashes in Debian man pages

Posted on by

It is probably fair to say that most Linux users spend little time thinking
about the troff typesetting program, despite that application’s
groundbreaking role in computing history. Troff (along with nroff) is
still with us, though, even if they are called groff these days, and every
now and then they make their presence known. A recent groff change created
a bit of a tempest within the Debian community, and has effectively been
reverted there. It all comes down to the question of what, exactly, is the
character used to mark command-line options on Unix systems?

Kernel prepatch 6.6-rc7

Posted on by

Linus has released 6.6-rc7 for testing.

Anyway, while this is all bigger than I’d have liked it to be, if
the upcoming week is quiet and normal, this is the last rc and next
Sunday will see the final release and then we’ll open the merge
window for 6.7. I simply am not aware of any issues that would be
showstoppers.
