Reitti v5.0.1: Podman Compatibility and Infrastructure Update

This maintenance release focuses on improving infrastructure flexibility, specifically for users running reitti on Podman.

Podman Compatibility Fix

In previous versions, the reitti-tile-cache service relied on a hardcoded DNS resolver (127.0.0.11), which is standard for Docker but incompatible with Podman’s networking stack.

The application has been updated to automatically determine the correct resolver from resolv.conf. Alternatively, you can now explicitly define the resolver using the new RESOLVER_IP environment variable. For detailed configuration steps, please refer to the updated infrastructure documentation.

A Peek into My Home Lab

I wanted to pull back the curtain a bit and share the physical hardware that powers reitti and my personal setup. My lab runs on a 4-bay DIY NAS configured with ZFS, paired with a small form factor mini-PC.

I had a recurring struggle with the mini-PC constantly thermal throttling at $90^\circ\text{C}$. The solution was a bit unconventional: I cut a large hole in the top of the chassis and fastened a Noctua 120mm 5V USB fan directly over the intake. The result was dramatic—idle temperatures dropped from $90^\circ\text{C}$ to a cool $35^\circ\text{C}$. It might not be pretty, but it’s effective!
