Tab in tittle bar#

about:config → browser.tabs.inTitlebar =1

Enable macOS-like smooth scrolling#

  1. Run this command: echo export MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/use-xinput2.sh
  2. Log out and back in.
  3. Firefox should now use xinput 2. (optional) Open Firefox and go to about:preferences -> Advanced (or about:preferences -> Browsing for Firefox Nightly), and uncheck "Use smooth scrolling". This disables the old style "smooth scrolling", which just causes an annoying delay when using xinput2 style scrolling imo.

Docker Compose: internal vs external#

internal: true#

An internal network is isolated from the outside world.

  • Containers can communicate with each other.
  • Containers cannot access the internet through this network.
  • Used for private communication, for example between an app and a database.
networks:
  private_net:
    internal: true
external: true#

An external network already exists outside the Compose file.

  • Docker Compose does not create it.
  • It only connects services to that existing network.
  • Useful to share a network between multiple Compose projects.
networks:
  shared_net:
    external: true
In short#
  • internal = private/isolated network.
  • external = existing network managed outside this Compose file.

NFS volume mount#

An NFS volume lets a container use a remote folder, for example from a NAS or file server.

volumes:
  remote-video:
    driver_opts:
      type: nfs
      o: addr=X.X.X.X,nfsvers=4,sec=sys,proto=tcp
      device: :/remote/path/video
Explanation#

  • remote-video
    Name of the Docker volume.

  • type: nfs
    Indicates that the volume uses NFS.

  • addr=X.X.X.X
    IP address or hostname of the NFS server.

  • nfsvers=4
    Uses NFS version 4.

  • sec=sys
    Uses standard UNIX permissions.

  • proto=tcp
    Uses TCP protocol.

  • device: :/remote/path/video
    Remote folder exported by the NFS server.

In short#

This configuration mounts a remote NFS folder into Docker as a volume, so containers can access files stored outside the Docker host.
