  • Yup. Even if you add the official mozilla repos, Cannoical adds a prefix to their version so it always takes precedence over the official release. You have to pin the mozilla repo to blacklist the snapped version.

    Same goes for Thunderbird.

    I’m sure Snap has some security advantages for many users but they’ve made it so user-hostile for those who use native browser extensions or who want to automate deployments with just one packaging system.

    Anyway, rant over - fuck Snap.
















  • If you have the docker-compose.yml locally, you can nix run github:aksiksi/compose2nix to translate it into a nix file for inclusion in your nixos system config. I think that could be done in the config itself with a git url but I’m not that great at nix. You will surely still need some manual config to e.g. set environment variables for paths and secrets.


  • How do the DNS servers resolve local hostnames then? The pihole DHCP integration adds local hostnames to DNS when they are assigned an address. If there’s two DHCP servers handing out leases, presumable only one would be accepted, how then would the DNS servers sync those names?

    I think I had my secondary pihole resolve local names from the primary, and leases were copied over on a cronjob in case the secondary DHCP server had to be enabled.
