Hello.

I am Lucas Roesler.

I am senior engineer at contiamo.com, core contributor to OpenFaas, and an ex-mathematician.

I work with Go, Python, Kubernetes, Serverless, Observability, and REST APIS. I like rock climbing, beer, hiking, and my motorcycle.

Normally I would use and recommend Flatpak, but there are a few edge cases where I need to use the Debian package, which leads me to today’s post.
