I tried maybe, Actual budget but then settled on GNU Cash (Native Linux app).

Pop! os-really trying, but constant crash has me frustrated.

This can be caused by a faulty RAM. If possible, run memtest from boot screen.

Personally I’m waiting for the day it comes out of “under active development” state so that I can migrate from NextCloud to it.

Any way to run the server as a docker container?

Realizing Arch isn't for me after updating broke VLC

My bad, I meant "known major issues". If minor issues are not fixed, they document it on release note. But, at no point any fixed release distro ever released breaking changes "knowingly".

Are you familiar with the term "Regression testing"?

Bugs are of two types - known (found during testing by Distro maintainer) and unknown.

Fixed release fixes known bugs before pushing packages.

It is following the standard development life cycle.

Wayland or X11?

Just to reiterate the same point - in fixed release, a package version is not released until all known issues are resolved.

At no point, it is end user responsibility to bother checking anything before installing a new version.

taking any action required no matter the os

This is not really true for fixed release distros. I can’t remember when was the last time I had to read through the release note before Ubuntu version upgrade, or upgrading any package.

Rule of Thumb: if your use case is not satisfied by your current Distro, then move to the one that does.

Arch or rolling release distros are great if you want latest version of software/packages as soon as possible. Downside is you need to put more effort/time to maintain it by yourself.

On the other hand, fixed release distros (e.g. Debian) doesn't offer latest packages immediately. But, given that packages are tested for distro release, so you will have a more stable (in relative term) system for yourself with minimal effort.

I used to like rolling release distros on my college days as I had plenty of time back then. Now, I'm settled on fixed release ditro as it suits my current use case.

What else should I self-host?

Jump

Karna @lemmy.ml 5mo ago

Reverse proxy is not specifically for exposing a containerised service on internet, it also helps to enable SSL for all services via single reverse proxy on LAN.

If you want to expose a container based service just for yourself over internet, you can -

If you have static IP4 or IPV6 - Setup Wireguard VPN on your homelab/server, and wireguard client on client devices[1].
If you are behind NAT or CGNAT - either Cloudflared Tunnel[2] or Tailscale[3].

In either scenarios, you need to setup firewall of your server to allow connection from LAN to port of your docker container/services. By default you should set your firewall to block all incoming request from anywhere except LAN.

I'm personally using Cloudflared Tunnel, but planning to migrate to Tailscale.

Pi-hole client filtering without DHCP?

AdGuardHome is also self-hosted and does have this feature.

Actually in my cases, I have to block Facebook on all of my devices, but want to allow it for rest of my family members. So, I know its possible in AdGuardHome.
