Did you hear about Ubiquiti’s breach?

Not that I know a lot about it myself, just thought you’d be intrested

Yup

I run the controller locally, no cloud. So unaffected.

Thought you’d be safe 🙂 Is there an advantage to running it via the cloud? Accessing it from wherever in the world, maybe?

Is it a hassle to run locally?

(relatively)

it's dead easy to run locally

I run it in a LXD container

Never heard of that before. What’s the difference between LXD and Docker?

Docker is app-centric, i.e., it normally runs your process as init 1

LXD is os-centric, you get a full OS, but running on the host kernel

you can compare it to a BSD Jail

Ah. Lovely!

Thanks for elaborating 🙂

I can create a lxd container runing arch, ubuntu, alpine, mint, centos, kali, debian, oracle...

so I get to play with a new distro when I want, with the understanding that it runs on my host linux kernel
