  • TIL: How to change the Docker ENTRYPOINT with Packer

    I've been working on automating setup and deployment for Tanzawa. This necessitates setting up a python 3 with all of the requisite dependencies and then starting a webserver.

    Initially I tried to set the run_command, but that's executed when you build the image, not when you run the image. The command used when running the image is controlled by the ENTRYPOINT, which is Docker specific.

    You can change your ENTRYPOINT by adding it to the "changes" section of your Docker configuration in your packer .pkr.hcl configuration file.

    source "docker" "ubuntu" {
      image  = "python:3"
      commit = true
      changes = [
        "ENTRYPOINT [\"uwsgi --emperor /etc/uwsgi/vassals --uid www-data --gid www-data\"]"
      ]
    }
  • πŸ”— How we changed our roof and cut 1.5 tons of CO2e.

    Since Oct 01, 2021 we have saved 2,300 kwh, equivalent to 720 kg CO2e (assuming a 0.3g of CO2e per Kwh of heating gas). At current trend, we would save 5,200 kwh, equivalent to 1,600 kg CO2e until Apr 15, 2022. To put that number in perspective, a French emits about 9,000 kg of CO2e per year. Not bad for a roof.
    Fascinating how much easier we can cut with upgrades to the house that reduce carbon and improve comfort. Beautiful roof, too.

    People playing violin, guitar, and mandolin, families playing. Beautiful day out. Perfect for celebrating the emperor’s birthday.
  • The Week #86

    • I watched Inside Out with Leo and it is a great movie. The main characters are the personified emotions inside people ( Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger) inside Riley, an 11 year old girl. They look through her eyes and take turns directing her reactions. Lewis Black plays Anger, which it fits his schtick perfectly. I highly recommend it.
    • Leo's school was closed all last week except Friday due to Covid. With the wave seemingly peaked and heading downwards, let's hope we can make it through an entire week without closing and everyone stays healthy. That said Kanagawa stopped releasing data after hitting 100% positivity. Lest you worry, it is/was mostly a math issue of not being able to count all of the tests taken everywhere but getting all of the positive results.
    • My compost bag is officially full, so I've started on the 3 week process of watering it a couple times a week and giving it a stir. After that I should have some great compost to grow stuff with. I ordered a second bag so I'll still be able to compost while the other finishes processing. It won't come until my scheduled delivery ofΒ  the starter next month, so in the mean time I'm back to food trash in the bin. It's the worst.
    • I ran 7km, my longest run in a while. A couple of months ago, when I was just getting back into the habit of running again, I was thinking about how I just wanted to be able to run 5km a few times a week without it feeling so hard. Keeping up the runs at least twice a week has allowed me to build some base cardio and slowing way down has made it much more enjoyable. 5km seems like it's the "base" run now.
