The State at the Beginning Earlier I had made progress on my server to serve different websites from inside containers, including refreshing SSL certificates. But the server started to be aging, and for both learning and future proofing purposes I started looking at migrating to something newer. And, I never really finished all the old work anyway. Instead I have a new container in use that has SSH running inside, that should be migrated as well.

Coincidentally I have had multiple needs for serving websites from behind containers instead of directly from the host. After some practicing, which can be also described as ”hacking without carefully documenting what I did”, I decided not to explicitly describe my setup but how I achieved (towards) my goal of serving my web sites (3 on the same server) from behind containers. This will enable me to consider using things like PHP or other notorious pieces of software thanks to a level of sandboxing.

This hackweek I’ve been playing a bit around with my desktop computer which has AMD Radeon 6600 XT graphics card which is based on the RDNA2 architecture. The idea was to find a way to utilize it for Stable Diffusion Version 2 latent text-to-image diffusion model without invading the host too much with randomly downloaded modules, but still using the GPU for computing. The graphics card has “only” 8GB RAM which is apparently only a starter amount in this field, so I needed to also check if that’s enough.
