[Old] Sebastian Wick ☛ Flatpak Pre-Installation Approaches
Together with my then-colleague Kalev Lember, I recently added support for pre-installing Flatpak applications.

It then installs any missing applications and removes any that are no longer supposed to be pre-installed (with some small caveats).

[Old] Sebastian Wick ☛ Setting up a personal server in 2023
For whatever reason I decided to go with Hetzner as my hoster. They have some reasonably priced low-end on-demand servers in their cloud. Both the Cloud and DNS services have ansible plugins to work with them and expose a nice API.
What they do not provide however is an official way to install CoreOS on their servers. That won’t stop us though: one can boot the server into a recovery mode where one can download an image and write it to the disk.
