  • I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against.

    Jump

  • The one factor that no one seems to have mentioned yet that is key for many of us is LEARNING ...

    It's a great way to learn virtualization and containerization

    I use it exclusively to run Linux containers, it makes it very convenient to backup and restore as well as replicate environments.

    We are now migrating our lab at work away from VMW

  • Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I

  • That's exactly what I have, and that's exactly what I wanted ... DARN ... oh well. I guess it's nice to have the document sync as well

  • opencloud - I migrated from nextcloud. Screenshots and docker-compose-compose.yml included

    Jump

  • correct, it also has the benefit of allowing my IP to change without impacting public or private access.

  • I do something similar I use Pangolin (Which is an EXCELLENT project) as a self hosted alternative to cloudflareD tunels. I host it on a public VPS and then thru it tunnel web traffic to my public resources, that way I don't have to expose my IP or have a static. Then I also use netbird as an overlay network not only to access my servers remotely but also to "join" two sites via a VPN (Backup server at my mom's)

  • Is it better than NC?

  • ELI5: Is browsing on 4g/5g networks less secure than on your own wifi?

    Jump

  • I would argue is less secure because there's more potential for signals to be intercepted, and you are only in control of a portion of the network (the other half being in control of your service provider)

    When you're on you're own Wi-Fi you're usually much closer to your access point and in your home where you control the network (which has less range) and the space around it.

    Either way the difference is minimal as both can be intercepted and attacked

  • Why?

    Jump

  • Switch implies I only have one computer .... I have many, including several servers.

    Ever since I have memory I've been a tinkerer and linux being OS enables you to do amazing things ... along with open source software.

    I (dont) use arch BTW ... Windows on my gaming PC (because of antichieat amongst other compatibility foes) Mint on my personal tablet and Proxmox on my servers

  • where to move for cheap VPS?

    Jump

  • This is bad news .... I also host my Pangolin ingress node on Ionos .... Can you let me know what you pick?

  • Alternatives to GrapheneOS

  • Help me figure out the way to scale laterally?

    Jump

  • Interesting, thanks for sharing.

    Any clue what the power draw on the disk array is? I did some basic measurement with the kill-a-watt and a spinner takes about 6-7W where as an SSD takes about 2, the price difference is too much for my use case tho, performance per watt per TB, I'm better off with 1 single disk (or a mirror pair) of 6 TB in spinning rust.

    I'm not particularly concerned about data security since I'm syncing evrything 3 ways. Whenever one of the drive fails I'll consider it a "surprise disaster recovery exercise" XD

  • Appreciate your input. K8 is on the roadmap. Currently on portrait using pangolin as a tunneled proxy.

    Eventually plan to migrate from Joomla in LXC to a docker swarm load balanced by pangolin.

  • It does but there's a lot of other stuff connected that I can't unplug. I ended up getting a kill a watt and since the server has redundant power supplies I checked by unplugging one at a time.

    I'm using 168W on an R430 with 2 E5-1220's and 128 G and 8 spinners.

  • What is this shit? I have to be signed in to watch any video now?

    Jump

  • You're probably using revanced or vanced ... there was a recent patch, you have to update it.

  • Song name? I feel like it's way too fucking good to be an ad jingle

  • What else should I self-host?

    Jump

  • I don't trust oracle at all. The guide uses them because they're free (It includes a business generator so that oracle doesn't reclaim your box)

    I personaly went with IONOS because they have a 2.99 plan with unlimited bandwidth which is great for pangolin as that's routing traffic for my "media" box

  • "Source code file"

    Jump

  • not the same thing at all, but there's already been a couple of pretty high profile "prompt injection" malware cases out there.

  • What else should I self-host?

    Jump

  • Host a pangolin reverse proxy on a free oracle cloud VPS! It's super nice to redirect online traffic to a LAN resource, that way you can share your home lab with friends and family without having to forward any ports or loosen your security posture.

    I also highly recommend this suite of tools for downloading and streaming legal media via torrent because I would never endorse piracy.

  • Questions about DAS

    Jump

  • My previous experience is with dropbox and onedrive and I tend to limit bandwidth ... I want sync to happen in the background. It's not something I usually consider "high priority"

    I found NC to be a lot more flexible and complete, specially with all the machine learning options. I also appreciate the privacy and price Hosting about 7TB of data for $10 worth of power a month and a $150 investment that allows me to host many other things.

    The web interface in my case is a bit slow initially but that's mostly because I opted to route it via pangolin reverse proxy / cloud flare tunnels, but I notice once the redis cache DB loads it's blazing fast.

    Overall I'm pretty happy with the speed, I'm sharing this with a family of 15 and I haven't heard any complaints yet.
