Just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!! May 2026 be a great year for you.
RockyPod blog update
I manage RockyPod using podman play kube inside a pod made of Ghost and MySQL. Unfortunately, I hit a snag that prevents me from upgrading to the latest version of Ghost. I will have to manually update the entire blog again with the newest Ghost images.
This concerns MySQL, a database I prefer not to use. I am thinking of migrating the entire site over to SQLite. I wish Ghost continued to use MariaDB, a more stable database. I am not sure why they moved from MariaDB back to MySQL—something I really need to research. In short, MySQL keeps throwing a migration lock, forcing me to revert to the original Ghost version for RockyPod.
Luckily, I have a backup this time, minus this post.
I will work on it next weekend.
I also noticed Mailgun wasn't working correctly. My configurations are correct. If you get this post update, that means it is properly configured.
RockyPod AI Workstation
It is sitting idle at the moment, but it will be back up and running soon. I will give a proper introduction to RockyPod, my workstation/server.
Things are progressing; once RockyPod starts training different AI models, I will be back to updating this blog.
Cheers!!!
