Fotocx on Ubuntu Studio 24.04

Fotocx is a free Linux program for editing photos or other images and managing a large collection. It is meant to manage very large photo collections of up to 1 million images on a strong PC, meaning a computer with 4+ CPU cores and 16+ GB memory. Rapture should be quite strong enough, with 8 CPU cores (16 threads) and 32 GB of RAM.

Ubuntu 24.04 responsitories include an older version of this application, formerly named fotoxx, but the application is quite easy to build from source to run the latest version.

Single-node Kubernetes cluster on Ubuntu Studio desktop (rapture)

For a bit more than a year, I've been running self-hosted services on a single-node Kubernetes cluster on Ubuntu server and, while it has presented some troubles to shoot, I have grown used to the advantages of deploying services far more easily, without having to worry too much about their dependencies, getting automatic updates, and even making many of them available over HTTPS with good SSL certificates. Now I want to enjoy some of those advantages in my desktop PC: Rapture.
