orion update 2

orion, my own gemini server got a bunch of updates today. In particular:

added the ability to switch user/group id after startup
Added the first CI which checks if the program compiles (yay!)
Added automatic deployment of docker containers on each release (yay!)

The last point also means, that orion is now also available as podman/docker container. For now I recommend users to run orion as container application, as this reduces the impact of possible security issues.

Run orion as podman/docker container

Assuming you have your configuration files in /srv/orion/conf and your data directory in /srv/orion/data:

docker run -d --name orion -v /srv/orion/conf:/conf -v /srv/orion/data:/data -p 1965:1965 grisu48/orion
podman run -d --name orion -v /srv/orion/conf:/conf -v /srv/orion/data:/data -p 1965:1965 --memory 128M grisu48/orion

This assumes, you configure orion via a config file in /srv/orion/conf/orion.conf and that the server certificate/keyfiles are also there.
