I mean, you can always install Proxmox on Debian XD

or for that matter LXD … it’s all kinda the same.

Gotta love OSS

Haven’t heard the gossip, please pray tell.

That’s AWESOME, I also named my NAS Atlas … because it carries the weight of all my backups

Good call on those names, you’re giving me some pretty cool ideas for my next servers

There are a TON of different tutorials and videos.

If you’re looking for a beginner friendly interface for your servers; I recommend “Cockpit” you just “sudo apt-get install cockpit” and it gives you a nice to use web interface to manage most of your servers, you can then install plugins as needed, for example you can install net bird or Pangolin to make it accessible from the internet.

If you want something more like what I’m doing here (Virtualization) you can try Canonical’s version of this which runs on ubuntu, They’re called LXD https://canonical.com/lxd/manage

Basically they’re tiny ritualized linux instances inside of your main ubuntu server (Containers) with their own kernel so that changes on the base server don’t bother your other apps.

Nice.

🤣 do you switch to elf names after the first 12?

Very good advice, also backup daily and test for backups often !!!

Amen, feels cold and unimaginative

Close, LCC. I do have a portrainer instance for docker images, but I like the extra control that San lxc gives you

There are a ton of guides out there, but the problem with open source software is that you can make it as yours as you want so every deployment is different. You would be better off doing some googling on what you want to get to, and asking more specific questions. Everyone in the community loves to help, but we need to know how.

oh damm … I was enjoying seeing screenshots of everyone’s architecture …

P.s. Vault warden is an EXCELLENT self hosted password manager, highly recommend that as well.

Soooo, proxmox is just the base of the ecosystem, it allows you to load a bunch of containers and virtual machines.

If you’re not sure what you want yo host check this page out.

https://www.turnkeylinux.org/lxc

They have a bunch of container templates that are ready to host.

I’ve been trying to replace could services with self hosted ones for me and my loved ones; these are some of my favorites:

• Nextcloud: replaces onedrive and dropbox
• Pangolin: Replaces Cloudflared (a little technical)
• Jellifin: Locally hosted netflix clone
• Game server: Awesome multi game server host, I use it to play minecraft with my nephews, has a ton of games you can host
• Joomla: (or any other CMS) when you mix it with Pangolin, it’s an easy way to host a website
• Netbird: overlay network manager that allows you to join multiple sites/networks as one LAN, it’s great for off site backups and to play with friends and family without having to host anything
• Grafana: Monitoring, data analytics and alerts. It’s like task manager but a thousand times better.
• Yunohost: It’s a one click install user friendly interface to manage web apps.

So what happens when you cluster Na with H20?

At this point I’m just tired of the acronym salad we all tend to deal with at work

“Wait, was I supposed to bounce CDBWINPROD02 or DBCWINPROD02?”

Figured if I had a choice I would use more “human” names that allow the servers to have more of a “personality”

Perse for example has been having an issue with it’s bios and it’s been spending quite a lot of time in the underworld LOL

I have the VPS setup, and it’s not bad at all, I pay 3.99 a month and it acts as a gateway into my network filtering any malicious ip by using crowdsec.

I use Pangolin reverse proxy, but you can also use netbird.

I prefer this because on top of the routing options it ads extra security and lets me share subdomains with friends and family without exposing my network to the internet

Thats an interesting limitation, so netbird has to use the “site” as part of the URL for resources? can you pick the name? or is it dynamicaly generated?

I’ve been using Pangolin since it came out … to make my services available without opening ports, but I also use Netbird for VPN access.

Is their DNS forwarding “resources” stable? Last I heard it was in beta only … if I can eliminate one more piece of software that I have to admin and maintain, that’d be great.

Woah! This is pretty neat, I think I just found my next “bathroom reading”

Thanks for sharing bud (and for hosting it)

You sound upset, you should talk to someone about that.
