Running podman on an immutable filesystem (Overlayroot)

The main idea: Configure Podman to use alternative paths outside the overlay filesystem

Steps:

• If already in overlay mode, break outside of it using the overlayroot-chroot command
• To leave mounts out of the overlay, use recurse=0 (e.g., overlayroot="tmpfs:recurse=0") in /etc/overlayroot.conf
• Edit /etc/containers/storage.conf and use alternative path values for runroot and graphroot under the [storage] section

 * Triggers a callback function when all the specified events are validated as completed.
 * @param {Object[]} eventsWithValidators - An array of objects containing the event name, event target and status checker function for each event.
 * @param {string} eventsWithValidators[].eventName - The name of the event to listen for.
 * @param {EventTarget} [eventsWithValidators[].eventTarget=window] - The object that emits the event. If not specified, window will be used as the default event target.
 * @param {Function} eventsWithValidators[].statusChecker - A function that returns a boolean value indicating whether the event is completed or not.
 * @param {Function} callback - The function to execute when all the events are completed.

Icon per browser profile

The goal was to make chromium desktop icon, that was created for a second profile, appear in the Dash and the app switcher (alt+tab) as an independent app icon. I gave that .desktop a StartupWMClass entry and added a --class flag as suggested here, but the problem remained because I believe that chromium changes the wm class name to the default one after the launch. Tried to fiddle with some code via looking glass, but no success there.

For reference, I used the following functions:

imports.gi.Shell.AppSystem.get_default() // Shell.AppSystem (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/main/src/shell-app-system.c)
imports.gi.Shell.AppSystem.get_default().get_running() // [ Shell.App ] (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/main/src/shell-app.c)

A proof-of-concept: How to create a promise that calls the rest of the code without wrapping it with an executor function

function promised(callerArgs) {
  const caller = callerArgs.callee;
  if (!caller.resolve) {
    return {
      promise: new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

        caller.resolve = resolve;

Check if a context name exists (replace $CONTEXT_NAME)

  [ -n "$(docker context ls --format '{{ index .Name }}' | grep -w $CONTEXT_NAME)" ]

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

MACHINE_NAME=$(printf "%q" ${DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME:-null})
if [ "$MACHINE_NAME" == "null" ]; then
    echo "Error: No docker machine env variables are set"
    exit -1;
fi
