Proxmox isn’t really comparable to Docker (or its 3rd party webui frontends) and was never meant to directly run user-facing services. Proxmox simply provides the virtual infrastructure required to host VMs and LXCs that will run your desired services.

IMO, Dockge (not a typo) is a far cleaner and easier solution than Portainer. Its very simple to set up and can easily link to other Dockge instances on other Docker hosts (I have like 4 or 5 VMs just for Docker). It also doesn’t bury your compose files deep inside a specific Docker volume that only allows its own container to access…like Portainer does.

This doesn’t kill the crab

That’s a valid point.

If you use a company-provided computer for work, then it’s safe to assume they’re already doing that.

I mean, if it’s a company-owned laptop, they can do whatever the fuck they want with it. I bring a personal laptop to work for browsing and YouTube and whatnot, attached to a VPN.

Hopefully they use it as a lesson in consent. And leave it at that.

I don’t know enough about England’s politics to form an opinion on how they will actually end up botching it, but I feel like it’s going to be botched.

Trump will launch nukes before ever admitting to fucking kids.

It is a huge problem here, unfortunately.

Not in the US they aren’t.

It is apparently regulatory hell to get up and running.

By design, of course.

I think you might be misunderstanding something here, because this is already how every ISP works - including the one you are using right now. Just on a bigger scale.

No thanks, double-NATing is not my idea of fun when it comes to self-hosting.

So is running for president as a felon, yet here we are.

I’m honestly not entirely sure. I’ve been eyeballing Valetudo for a few years now, but the price of the supported robots was out of my budget until I happened onto the $20 Wyze from eBay. Took a chance and won big. I’m into it a whopping $65. And a bit of labor to swap the motherboard (mine refused to run ADB at all). But that’s the fun part for me.

So, uh, exactly how “old” is that server? Because, if I understood it correctly, it should be based on 8th gen Intel, which makes this a solid piece of equipment in any homelab (provided you can deal with the noise and power draw).

I already don’t like that kind of shit, it’s an immediate turn-off for me.

But - I also know there’s a whole kink around it, and as long as it’s consensual…who tf cares?

As tempting as that is, I’m not expecting to build up something that hefty. Love the wireminding and all, but I’m hoping to keep this as something I can mount nicely in my teeny tiny network cabinet. The horsepower I’m looking for, alongside the low thermal and power loads, are my goal. Maybe I’ll expand beyond eventually, but who knows?

Understood! I’m just showing you that a tiny/mini/micro PC is incredibly beefy for what it is, especially when you stuff it with an i7 and a bunch of RAM.

Thank you for the suggestion though! Also love the R&C refs :) Still need to finish Rift Apart.

I name all my physical machines after R&C characters. HA is “Ace” as in Ace Hardlight, and the Optiplex on the left (running Frigate) is “Skrunch”… As in Qwark’s monkey sidekick 😂

Rift Apart was super fun. The final battle sequence is awesome for grinding if you wanna 100% the game. I’ve got it down to a science haha.

I use RPi 4 2Gb for Pi-Hole.

Pi-hole will run on far less than that. I run Pi-hole and PiVPN on a Zero W. Uptime is over a year now.

Buy a 7th gen Intel based tiny/mini/micro PC instead of a Pi or NUC. You get much more bang for your buck. 35W max draw. They are far more capable than people give them credit for. I run 3 of them (4 if you count the Mac mini).

As someone who daily drives the Pinebuds… Me too. 😅
