This issue is already quite widely publicized and quite frankly “we’re handling it and removing this” is a much more harmful response than I would hope to see. Especially as the admins of that instance have not yet upgraded the frontend version to apply the urgent fix.

It’s not like this was a confidential bug fix, this is a zero day being actively exploited. Please be more cooperative and open regarding these issues in your own administration if you’re hosting an instance. 🙏

    Which leads me to ask: why are we still using Docker images as a MAJOR part of our infrastructure when superior alternatives exist? The Docker aspect made me realize how hacked together the codebase actually is.

      I will always espouse containers for critical workloads as they provide much better orchestration, especially during deployment. If your complaint is specifically against docker, I agree, we should be using k8s

          When someone says docker in the context of images today, they’re already talking about the OCI format.

          OCI uses Dockerfiles and runs Docker images as docker images are just KVM image, which is what OCI runs. Nix is absolute overkill for the orchestration of a web server workload and would be better for managing the container host (whatever you’re running kubernetes or docker swarm on).

          I don’t really know how to put this, but nearly every single web service you encounter and interact with is built using a dockerfile just like how Lemmy is doing. If you’re going to disqualify Lemmy as a viable platform based on it having a dockerfile, I got bad news

            I thought KVM was virtualisation, as in separate kernels.
            And I thought containers shared the hosts kernel. Essentially an “overlay os”.

            So, a KVM could virtualise different hardware and CPU architectures.
            Whereas a container can only use what the host has

      Just because it’s not using your personal preference of containerization doesn’t qualify it as being “hacked together”. Docker is a perfectly acceptable solution for what Lemmy is.
