Yocto-Doky is a GitLab project for the Doky Yocto distribution. Doky intends to be suitable for projects with proprietary code, but which still wish to follow their open source obligations.
Getting good performance with Windows 11 Pro running under Libvirt/KVM on Linux requires some special configs, especially if one wants to enable WSL2 (which requires ‘Nested virtualization’). This is a brief cheatsheet on the required configuration.
As part of his work for Ambient Activity Daniel experimented with building Electron under Yocto. In order to build a new firmware for the ABBY. This turns out to be impractical for a small development team, but he developed some useful bits in the process.
Due to OpenWrt issue 13873 the author needed a version of the mountpoint command for OpenWrt. Since they wanted to learn ucode, they coded the command in this interesting ECMAscript-like language1. This may be moot as enabling the busybox mountpoint applet could be more space-efficient, but the author enjoyed the exercise.

You may realize that you really wish you could start the Nextcloud instance from scratch without the hassle of a reinstall.
At some point you may need to upsize your PostgreSQL server, particular if you have implemented one on a old Raspberry Pi.
Setting up your own local Nextcloud can be useful for a number of reasons.
This article describes setting up a Raspberry Pi Model B+ as a private Gitea (lightweight Git hosting) server.
Raspberry Pi Model B+ as a PostgreSQL server with external storage.
Linux LVM thin pools and volumes initially seem to be a great way maximize the use of hard drive space by using only the space that is actually allocated to files. There is a major fly in the ointment though. Thin pools cannot be reduced in size.
You may find yourself in need of a ‘bare metal’ server. If the workload is not too demanding, a Raspberry Pi can be a good choice.
For small deployments the Raspberry Pi is for servers.
