I’m moving to a new machine soon and want to re-evaluate some security practices while I’m doing it. My current server is debian with all apps containerized in docker with root. I’d like to harden some stuff, especially vaultwarden but I’m concerned about transitioning to podman while using complex docker setups like nextcloud-aio. Do you have experience hardening your containers by switching? Is it worth it? How long is a piece of string?

    It’s a really solid combo, but if you’re not familiar with CoreOS I wouldn’t change both at once. Meaning migrate the services to Podman first, then switch the OS. I’ve meant to switch from Alma 9 to CoreOS a long time, but haven’t found the time.

    I noticed you run Nextcloud AIO, just so you know, that’s one of those “mount the docker socket” monstrosities. I’d look into switching to the community NC image and separate containers managed yourself. AIO is easy, but if someone gets shell to the NC container, it’s basically giving root to your host.

    Either way, you’re going to have trouble running AIO with Podman.
