Yes, because I mostly like to have my services built in a Debian container inside my Proxmox environment. If I’m running it in Docker, there’s a good chance it’s temporary/PoC, and in that case I do not rebuild or anything, I run it for whatever purpose it serves and then it either goes away or gets migrated to a handcrafted Debian container.
The ringing in my ears is my own personal sensation. There are many others with a ringing of their own, but this one is mine and it undoubtedly is as unique as my fingerprint.
“The maybe possibility” is literally “the possibility” wtf are you on about
Edit: you misunderstand how to use the word “maybe.” Something that “could maybe happen” is something that might possibly happen. In other words, it “may be” a thing that happens. Maybe.
For me, I’m Team Proxmox. It’s just easy to spin up containers for pretty much anything I need. No need for the resource overhead of a full-on virtual machine if I simply need to run a LAMP app. Anything you really have an issue transitioning from Docker to LXC can still be run inside a container with Docker installed. And if you need to set up a VM for Windows or pfSense or some other OS for whatever reason, it’s insanely easy to do.
The glowing sun projects its rays, consciousness reflects the age.
First thing I’d troubleshoot… Is your router the issue, or the modem that decodes the signal from your ISP?
Last I checked, router/AP stuff is pretty easy to DIY (OpenWRT, PFsense, etc). But that’s the step after the modem has done what it needs to do.
Proxmox on a Lenovo micro form factor is probably a good cost effective option. Get a business class ThinkCentre, like an M720 or something similar that’s 3-5 years old that a corpo has just upgraded away from, i5 or Ryzen 5 with however much storage and RAM you want. Spin up a container specifically and only for PiHole+Unbound (and consider adding a pi or some other dedicated hardware for DNS later on for redundancy in case your main goes down), and then the rest is however you want to build your environment.
For me, I’ve got a Pi dedicated to 3 key tasks: PiHole, Unbound, and PiVPN (edit: and Nginx Proxy Manager. It’s dedicated to 4 key tasks…). It’s basically my filtering interface between the home network the rest of the internet immediately after my router handles the frontline defenses, and then I’ve got a Proxmox cluster to run most of the rest of my internal services.
Oh dang, I must have missed it. Is there a reader’s digest version I can check out regarding the drama?
Edit: I think I found it - https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/
Is there a compelling reason one might consider switching away from Organic Maps and move to CoMaps?
There’s a near-endless supply of great mythology and legend to read and explore from all sorts of cultures dating back as far as the dawn of writing. I’ve had a lot of fun reading and comparing tales from various times and places, taking time to also note where in history the stories were being written down and what else was happening. Strong recommendation for anyone wanting a unique view on the history of societies and the stories they held (or still hold) dear.
Ultimately up to you, but I’d go with no GUI and just use ssh (and sftp if you need to do file transfers).
When I was using Docker, it was headless because the GUI just ate up space and resources I didn’t need. All your interaction will be in the shell anyway, launching your compose.yml files.
But, if dealing with a headless machine sounds like more trouble than you want to try, install the DE if your choice and breathe easy because it’ll still work perfectly fine.
I think you’ve put more thought into how to get started than many others would! You have a pretty good plan from what it seems. My thoughts from each section below.
Hardware: I’m partial to Crucial and Kingston for storage that is affordable and dependable
OS: I’d probably spin up a Debian install if I were in your shoes and run my services using docker-compose files. It’s a quick and easy to get up and running, and despite the ease, there is still the option to do a lot of customization when you want to, and that will make it easy to learn more at your own pace and leisure.
Services: For the CalDav portion, I’m really liking Radicale.
Security: PiVPN is what I’m running on my actual RPi along with PiHole, and it was a super simple setup. I connect via Wireguard from any of my other devices.
I don’t have an answer for you, but a dev for that DigitalDiary app posted earlier today looking for feature input and saying they are going to open source it in the next 2 months or something like that. I don’t have a link to the post, sorry, but I just thought it might be helpful to know about
Another idea: dokuwiki, to document your process setting up various service for future reference
PiHole, PiVPN, maybe a reverse proxy like nginx proxy manager to make connecting to your various web management portals you have an easy way to map it to a human readable url
I just don’t want my NAS doing anything other than being a NAS, so I intentionally don’t run extra services there, but its a matter of finding what works for you. As long as you get to the destination you’re looking for, its mission accomplished
Got an old raspberry pi laying around? PiHole+PiVPN is something I run on an old 3B+ I think, so I have something dedicated running both. But otherwise, I’d probably just spin up a container on a server or cluster and I’d probably go with debian and just run the exact same PiVPN setup script I did for the pi because it was super easy.
Palantir has also found new customers along the way, including an array of government departments, from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to NHS England, as well as banks, other tech firms, insurance providers, Wendy’s and a resurgent NATO.
What’s going on at Wendy’s?
Let it grow, let it grow
A couple I haven’t seen yet but both were impactful to me: Prince and David Bowie. Both deaths felt so close in time together and came by complete surprise.
