    #7: Config Management Camp: Kubernetes, Sysdig & Mgmt

    I’m back! Sort of. This is a mono-episode where it’s just me talking about Config Management Camp , a conference held in Gent in February 2017. I recap a few interesting talks and projects I saw. This is an episode that I recorded in the car. So there might be audio quality concerns and I’m very much looking for feedback on this format: is it hearable? Does it bother you? Should I do more of these recaps? Please let me know via e-mail at m@ttias.be or on Twitter at @mattiasgeniar . Shownotes# Config Management Camp Kubernetes Next gen config management: mgmt Digging into Kubernetes with Sysdig

    #6.5: SysCast is taking a little break

    I wish I didn’t have to bring this message, but I’m fairly certain you already noticed it: there hasn’t been a new SysCast podcast in a while. I’m taking a bit of a break to organise things, prepare better and overall bring a better show. But that takes time, and time is something I don’t have at the moment. The plan is to bring SysCast back in a few months. In the meantime, don’t unsubscribe just yet, keep the RSS feed going. In a few months, I hope to be back – full force. Meanwhile, if you’re craving more open source or linux news, have a look at the weekly newsletter called cron.weekly !

    #1: Matt Holt, creator of Caddy webserver

    (Note: audio quality isn’t super great, I’ll get that fixed for episode #2) Exciting! This is the very first episode of the SysCast podcast! I’m very happy to have Matt Holt as my first guest, who created the Caddy webserver . We talk about the Caddy project, the Go language and community, the unique benefits of Caddy and its Caddyfile, dealing with Pull Requests and so much more. A couple of lessons learned on my part: stereo recording is useless, everything should be mono (I now merged stereo to mono, but it came at a loss of audio quality) I need to tweak my own recording settings, that’s obvious (it’s a good thing Matt’s voice is clearer than mine) Shownotes# Write a review in iTunes! @mholt6 : Matt on Twitter caddyserver.com : the webserver Server Side Push in HTTP/2 (benchmarked ) Gogs : git repository hosting written in Go Laravel Valet : self-hosting in development for Laravel projects, powered by Caddy
