It’s easier to apologize than to ask for permission.

Nope; different. :)

It works with a Pi compute module (which, depending on the kit, is sold separately). It will also run on a standard Raspberry Pi.

Thanks for answering :-)

Serious question; why not use a Pi or a small form factor PC?

For me, I liked the idea of PoE but I don’t think it’s worth the extra $$ for that feature.

I hated them too at first, but that’s because I didn’t understand them and they were new and scary.

They’re still a little scary but, after having a dependency issue on another Linux box, I get the purpose of docker a little bit better now.

Here’s a helpful primer:

I mean, if you’re offering….

How much time?

More than you think.

How much money?

Consult the cheap / fast / reliable chart:

It works. I do it with a Pi 3; the limiting factor is usually the WAN and not the 10/100 NIC on the Pi itself.

I block people who are clearly trolls and that one moron who signed all their posts with an anti-ai signature that does nothing because it was either that or get banned by the mods on .world because “I’m harassing them”.

If they’re like me, I get the why.

When I started out, docker just seemed like more of a complication. I wanted to just run things on the local system without having to learn something else.

Docker makes it nice in that there are no dependencies conflicts and things just work. Plus, removal is easy an leaves no trace.

Usually not, no. With that in mind, it seems I’m looking for something more like a commercial NAS box and less like a repurposed Dell server.

So, realistically, I’m probably looking for a commercial NAS that’ll spin the drives down when nothing is accessing them and spin them up once something attempts access.

Because I can’t think of another way to do this.

Not with a RAID controller, no.

Byeeeee

How do I set a cronjob on a Hyper-V host?

Power consumption.

Plus, I don’t think an enterprise grade server is designed to spin down the disks when they’re not in use.

Because something that’s critical to my environment (passwords) should be hosted by a company that can provide updates, patching, and remote access more securely than I can.

Everyone thinks that they can self host critical infrastructure better than a paid service, and that may be true for a while. But life has a way of interrupting the best laid plans. Suddenly, one day, you’re several versions out of date and a different vulnerability is used to get in your network. Now you’re like that LastPass employee that was compromised via an out of date plex server.

I have the space and the know how to host my on bitwarden/vaultwarden. But I don’t. Because that’s critical infrastructure and I’ll gladly pay for someone else to host it / patch it / etc.

I do, and the point still stands. If this is something vital to you, why not let someone else be responsible for security/hosting/issues/etc.
