Pot is a jail management tool that also supports orchestration through Nomad.
During the last quarter, pot received a number of minor fixes but no new version has been released yet.
Potluck aims to be to FreeBSD and pot what Dockerhub is to Linux and Docker: a repository of pot flavours and complete container images for usage with pot and in many cases Nomad.
All Potluck images have been rebuilt to include the latest FreeBSD security advisories, a new Smokeping network latency monitoring image has been added, again a lot of work went into the Jitsi image, which unfortunately still seems to have some reliability issues.
Also, two new blog posts are available showing how easy it is to use Potluck images, one explaining how to set up Nextcloud with Minio as object storage and Prometheus for monitoring, one showing how to run your own Matrix Synapse server using OpenLDAP for access management.
As always, feedback and patches are welcome.
