Flatpak is today's preferred distribution platform for graphical desktop apps, yet it isn't popular for terminal apps, and for good reason! Launching CLI apps is difficult and not very user-friendly. However, Flatpak can take inspiration from other systems to improve CLI app usage.
How the policy change of certification authorities can push IT towards better HTTPS certificate management
Introduced in Kubernetes 1.31, released stable in Kubernetes 1.36, we have now the ability to use OCI images as volumes for containers. This allows to approach new paradigms for deploying apps on Kubernetes, allowing us to decouple runtime image from the application artifact.
An interesting impact can be observed right away on static web hosting. We don't need to extend anymore Nginx base image and add the static assets, built in a multistage containerfile or a different pipeline step.
Today we can use right as-is the vendor upstream image of a web server end let our CICD only build only the static assets and store them in an image that builds from scratch and push it on a registry like before. It doesn't change delivery, it only changes deployment configuration, which will have an extra section for the volume, which will refer to the OCI image and mount configuration to serve html files contained by the webserver.
