Fedora Kinoite

Podman

Since you'll be using podman for most container-based services, you'll want to set the the podman auth file to somewhere persistent, otherwise it'll get deleted every time you reboot.

Add this to your .bashrc:

# Podman auth file
export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=$HOME/.podman-auth.json

Source that and then run podman login to create the file.

Libvirt, Qemu, KVM

rpm-ostree install virt-manager
systemctl enable --now libvirtd

Network

VLAN Setup with nmcli

# VLAN 2
nmcli conn
export NMCLI_DEVICE=enp195s0f4u1u3
nmcli connection add type VLAN con-name $NMCLI_DEVICE.2 dev $NMCLI_DEVICE id 2

Apps

Flatpak installs are from Flathub unless otherwise noted.

VSCode

Write code.

flatpak install com.visualstudio.code

# Fix wayland scaling issues
cp /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/com.visualstudio.code ~/.local/share/applications
# Add `--socket=wayland` and `--ozone-platform=wayland` to the correct locations in the "Exec" field
sed \
    -ri 's/(Exec=.* run )(.*)(com.visualstudio.code)/\1--socket=wayland \2\3 --ozone-platform=wayland/g' \
    ~/.local/share/applications/com.visualstudio.code

# Validate desktop database and reload
desktop-file-validate ~/.local/share/applications/com.nextcloud.talk.desktop
update-desktop-database

Add to settings.json so the host shell is spawned

{
    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "bash",
    "terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": {
        "bash": {
            "path": "/app/bin/host-spawn",
            "args": ["bash"],
            "icon": "terminal-bash",
            "overrideName": true
        }
    }
}

Add these keyboard shortcuts to allow forward and back with alt:

[
    ...
    { "key": "alt+left",         "command": "workbench.action.navigateBack" },

Reese's Arch Toolbox

I have a custom arch image based on the default arch-toolbox image. It offers:

  • zsh with many completions installed/enabled
  • vim
  • nslookup
  • iperf3
  • kubectl
  • helm
  • nethogs
  • python, pip, and pipx
  • ansible
  • aws cli
  • ollama (add export OLLAMA_HOST=my.ollama.host to your .zshrc to use a remote host)
  • podman (connected automatically to the host machine via the unix socket)
  • tmux
  • ffmpeg
  • wine
  • podman
  • unzip
  • bat
  • btop
  • jq
  • yq
  • imagemagick

Pipx/Poetry

https://python-poetry.org/docs/

# pipx is already installed but the pathing won't work for installed apps
pipx ensurepath # then source ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc

pipx install poetry
# Now this should work.
poetry new test-project

Using Reese's Arch Toolbox

toolbox create -i gitea.reeseapps.com/services/arch-toolbox:latest
SHELL=/bin/zsh toolbox enter arch-toolbox-latest

Updating Reese's Arch Toolbox

# Stop the current arch toolbox
podman container stop arch-toolbox-latest
# Remove the old container
podman container rm arch-toolbox-latest
# Pull the new image
podman pull gitea.reeseapps.com/services/arch-toolbox:latest
# Start with the new image
toolbox create -i gitea.reeseapps.com/services/arch-toolbox:latest

Building Reese's Arch Toolbox

You can build and run the image wit this (See Containerfile in this directory):

# Build latest image
podman build \
    --no-cache \
    -t gitea.reeseapps.com/services/arch-toolbox:latest \
    -f ./infrastructure/graduated/fedora/Containerfile

# Test with podman
podman run -it --rm gitea.reeseapps.com/services/arch-toolbox:latest

# Stop the current arch toolbox
podman container stop arch-toolbox-latest
# Remove the old container
podman container rm arch-toolbox-latest
# Start with the new image
toolbox create -i gitea.reeseapps.com/services/arch-toolbox:latest
SHELL=/bin/zsh toolbox enter

In vscode you can set this as your default build task for homelab and trigger it with ctrl shift B

.vscode/tasks.json

{
    // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
    // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {

            "problemMatcher": [],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
