Container

I had heard a lot about Docker / Podman and containers in the past but didn’t really understand what they were all about. In 2021, I made it a goal to dive into the world of containers—and quickly became fascinated by the technology. Today, I build and use containers in GitLab CI/CD pipelines and for running small services in my private homelab.

I have achieved the following certifications in which Container was a component.

Projects

Current and past projects where I used Container.

Completed
Automated container builds in Gitlab CI/CD

Once a container is built, it's often rarely updated in practice. This can lead to security vulnerabilities or outdated software inside the container. To address this, I developed a tool called Container Image Builder (cib) for GitLab pipelines. It allows building and publishing any number of containers within a single pipeline. The tool is written in Python and is actively used in my personal container build processes.
