tinysalamander,

This is currently me and my dad who’s been a Linux sysadmin for over 20 years.

Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home?

I’m trying to better understand hosting a Lemmy Instance. Lurking discussions it seems like some people are hosting from the Cloud or VPS. My understanding is that it’s better to futureproof by running your own home server so that you have the data and the top most control of hardware, software etc. My understanding is that...

tinysalamander,

Proxmox absolutely changed the game for me learning Linux. Spinning up LXC containers in seconds to test out applications or simply to learn different Linux OSs without worrying about the install process each time has probably saved me days of my life at this point. Plus being able to use and learn ZFS natively is really cool.

tinysalamander,

My website/blog is in the cloud but anything that needs local storage or internet access (everything else) is virtualized in a container on proxmox.

tinysalamander,

This happens to me on Instagram and it makes me want to commit atrocities.

tinysalamander,

Thank you! His sister is named Carol (from HR) so it was kind of perfect

tinysalamander,

I got boxes full of Pepe!!

tinysalamander,

Same. I’m using a 2012 Mac mini running Proxmox attached to an OWC Thunderbay 4. It’s old but does everything I need it to do.

tinysalamander,

KDE connect worked nicely on my iphone for awhile but now I can’t get it to work. But yeah it is pretty cool.

tinysalamander,

Amateur data hoarder here; teach me your ways

tinysalamander, (edited )

I use Arch for my desktop and a container or two just for funsies. My website runs on Arch actually and never had had any issues with either that or my desktop. Debian is what I typically use though for my containers like Plex, photoprism, etc. I’ve heard people say Debian can be harder than Arch. I’m still mostly a noob so idk fit certain but I’ve come across things where Debian didn’t work but Arch did. Thought it was interesting.

tinysalamander,

Same. I’ve been diving into Linux and open source and self hosting lately anyway, and at the same time you’re telling me open source social media is a real thing and gaining in popularity? Count me in.

tinysalamander,

I see people listing things I’ve never heard about…I thought I had spent a considerable amount of time on the old sub and knew stuff. Guess I gotta hit the books.

Right now though I’m hosting everything on a 2012 Mac Mini that’s running Proxmox.

Been using these programs for awhile now:

  • Photoprism
  • wireguard
  • web blog testing instance while the live one lives on linode
  • plex
  • filebrowser
  • pi-hole
  • homepage

Nothing crazy but cool stuff to learn in my day to day. I want more hardware but I’m about to buy a house. It’s crazy how much I’m throwing at an 11 year old computer and it’s handling it all quite well.
