I read someone was trying to get Samba AD working in a container and now I am curious what else you guys are working on.

(PS: If that someone is still working on it you might try running DNS and LDAP in separate containers with samba running bare metal. Samba nor Linux supports windows distributed filesystems so you likely need either a central file share or rsync.)

I was trying to get yacy working in a tiny container, but the dang thing kept crashing after indexing about 500,000 sites. Yacy is like a peer to peer web crawler. Too busy to dig into it and figure out why.

I've tried getting yacy to work on two separate occasions. I've thrown generous resources at it but never had a satisfying experience.

So it's not just me. I watched its memory use rock slowly up until it ran out, then it died.

You did this for work?

Nope, just for fun.

That makes more sense. I think self hosted search engines are a interesting idea but they are hard to make work usually
