In this video, Alex shows how to use the community project DockTail, to turn Docker labels into native Tailscale Services. DockTail watches your Docker containers, reads their labels, and automatically exposes matching containers as private Tailscale Services without publishing ports directly on the host. It is a bit like a Tailscale-native workflow for Docker apps, especially if you are used to tools like Traefik.
After the first iteration of this kiln failed to reach temperature, I'm back at it with some thoughtful improvements.
Most importantly, I dive deep into the heart of wood kiln design: draft, and how chimney design affects draft. Draft is necessary to pull fresh air into the firebox to burn the wood. When a wood-fired pottery kiln isn't increasing in temperature as expected, insufficient draft should be the first suspected culprit.
The design uses Australian potter Steve Harrison's "Small Portable Woodfired Kiln" as a close reference for proportions. https://tonightmyfingerssmellofgarlic...
I use a combination of dense firebrick, soft firebrick (IFB), and refractory castable cement.The roof is a Nils Lou Minnesota flattop design, and the fire grate is welded out of old rebar. You can read Lou's book, The Art of Firing, for free on the Internet Archive. https://archive.org/details/artoffiri...

Tinker and Think ethos: Combining the manual and cerebral. We cannot separate the mental and the physical, nor treat any endeavor as solely mental or solely physical. But this is precisely how we have come to talk about our world—blue collar vs. white collar, intellectual vs. athlete, book worm vs. adventurer. But this is a totally false dichotomy. This channel promotes an approach that combines manual labor (pottery, carpentry, welding, bricklaying, concrete) with a smart, purposeful attitude (study, reading, science, math, poetry, and meditation). Our minds work best when they engage with our bodies. Our bodies perform best when connected to conscious mental action. Through intelligent manual work, we discover enjoyment, fulfillment, and human flourishing.
