Put everything behind Tailscale or another VPN and use it that way from outside devices. There should be very little need to have a public IP, and if there’s something that has to be exposed, use ngrok, cloudflared or Tailscale Funnel.

I’ve used the combine engine to warm up meals during harvest. About 20 minutes on the turbocharger heats a foil pan of stroganoff quite nicely.

Ain’t nobody wanna see that.

The porn is sadly lacking, actuallly.

Just use the official Docker AIO and it is very, very little trouble. It’s by far the easiest way to use Nextcloud and the related services like Collabora and Talk.

This Old Tony: home machinist that fixes stuff and makes other stuff in his garage, but does everything very well thought out. Humorous and good editing.

You might be interested in Stillworks and Brewing, he’s kinda amateur but a lot less click-baity than Still It.

Yes, RAID 10 ZFS with no ARC, 6GB SAS drives.

I have no idea what you have going on, I’ve never seen LXCs take that long, even if I include the time it takes to down the containers and bring them up after a reboot.

What are you using for running them? I just tested my docker LXC and it took 16 seconds from when I typed “reboot” to having a login prompt. And that’s on an ancient R410 server running proxmox.

I think you’re doing it wrong. LXCs boot almost instantaneously on a hypervisor since they hijack the host kernel, I’d be surprised if my CTs take 5 seconds.

I would agree on the live migration issue but I guess you pick your services accordingly. I have a VM that runs docker and a LXC docker host, and I pick my containers for each accordingly.

Forgejo. There are so many things that can use a git repo but I don’t want to have them out in the wild, so I host them myself, safe and sound behind my firewall.

I also mirror other github forks so they don’t go away whenever those services decide to rugpull them.

Nobody was going to bother changing if they had been left alone. There would be a gradual shift to cloud native on new applications, but you underestimate the amount of time a company will stick with ancient technologies on a line of business app that works. Shit, Cobol programmers are still in demand.
