Since when is Gnome the default? The default varies by distro…

I use Tailscale on PFsense. Just advertise the route to the local subnet and accept routes on whatever machine you’re accessing from and you’ve got yourself a pretty much plug and play solution.

Are you using /etc/resolv.conf?

I don’t use proton but I found with tailscale it’s much more stable to use systemd-resolved because it doesn’t overwrite resolv.conf. I don’t know if this is the case with proton as I don’t know how it treats different resolvers but I would look into it.

Both Wayland and Pipewire have been the direct cause of unusable VMs. Replacing them with Xorg and Pulse makes all the VMs usable again. This has been the case in VMWare, Virtualbox, and Hyper-V. VMs in Proxmox have been less problematic but still problematic.

ZimaBoard 832 with two 2TB SSDs and OMV is my setup. Pair it with tailscale for availability wherever you go.

I wasn’t a fan of Immich. Although I’m trying to replace Google photos soy opinion is a bit skewed.

Are there any machines in use anymore that don’t support UEFI? When did it become standard? Something like 2012?

I didn’t even wait for expiration. I went ahead and moved all of mine into Cloudflare last night.

I have a zx01 or something like that from AliExpress with an N100 and 16GB. Those little machines are seriously impressive. It’s running Garuda and my son has not complained once about any game he’s tried to play. I don’t play games, I just bought it on a whim cause it’s tiny and $150 or so. I’ve run several systems on it without a hitch. I’m pretty certain it’ll hose a Minecraft server without an issue.

👋 Hi!

I’m currently using Arch and doing the same thing. I learned more than a decade ago not to even bother with asking questions to the community at large. Bunch of self righteous dicks they are.

I currently have it running on a Zimaboard 216 which has a Celeron N3450 processor. Runs perfectly fine. Also have an instance running in proxmox with 2 cores and 1GB. Runs perfectly fine. I don’t know what the documented requires are but I can say from experience, it doesn’t need much.

Can you not learn by extrapolation?

Watch the video if you want greater detail.

This guy makes some of the best Linux content on the Internet. This walk through is spot on and if you’re having trouble with the written guide, watch the video and you can do it along with him in several different scenarios. I can’t say enough good things about his content.

pfSense on a ZimaBoard 216 works astonishingly well and it’s easy to setup and manage. Toss in a Mikrotik CSS610 and you have a vlan ready setup in under an hour.

If you don’t like the ZimaBoard, you can go with any of the Topton style router PCs from AliExpress for a couple hundred and have a 2.5Gb router running in proxmox with docker in a separate VM.

I’m thinking about getting into tinfoil hat manufacturing cause they’re about to sell out.

Sure but after they do Ray Epps.

I like OMV. It’s simple and to the point. TrueNAS is far too complicated and robust for basic home use, IMO. It’s like driving a tank to work. OMV does the job most people need. Nextcloud is cool but, again, a little to expansive for what I need. I’m not really going to use the included office tools or any of that. I just want remotely available storage. OMV + Tailscale + PiVPN means my backups and stored data are available anywhere, on any device including my phone. Nextcloud streamlines that availability but, again, just too much going on. TrueNAS is an enterprise product and feels like it. Not my cup of tea.

The packages aren’t “out of date.” Brand new and broken vs verified working.

Docker-compose got it done. Once I learned about Volumes and using compose to pass in volumes from other instances I was able to pass in a directory with a custom yaml to the Dashy container then pass the same directory into the code-server container and both are working as I expected they should. Compose and volumes were the missing pieces. I also learned that stacks is how to use compose in Portainer. Not sure why they felt the need to change the naming but it works.
