I use nginx manager in its own docker container on my unraid server. Was pretty simple to set up all things considered. I would call myself better with hardware than software but not a complete newb and I got it running with minimal headache.
Unraid is pretty simple to use. It has made setting up my services easy with just a little bit of googling for trouble shooting.
Stop using Reddit.
That’s precisely the intent behind the feature.
What advantages would this have over Obsidian, which is already all local unless you explicitly make it not so?
Unraid has been so simple for me. Really pleased with it.
I’m “techy”, but not in a tech career. By that I mean I’ve always been casually interested in tech, and enjoy building my own PCs, and am usually the one people come to for tech help, even if I just end up googling it for them haha.
Got into hosting through Home Assistant and Foundry VTT.
I haven’t been running it for too long, as I just started putting this together a few months ago and took a while to decide. No issues with downtime though. Updates have been super easy with Unraid so far.
My answer may not be quite as helpful for you, as you said you are a software dev and would probably pick up the more advanced options easier than me.
But for me, I was asking extremely similar questions to you a few months ago (still my only post on Lemmy, lol). I ended up trying unraid, proxmox, and truenas.
I went with unraid and have no regrets. It’s been super easy and I now have the all in one server box I’ve wanted for years.
The first half of what you said is the important bit, to me. He owed no one anything, and I just remember seeing some comments from people that couldn’t comprehend that. Entitlement is strong on the internet imho.
He had some health issues iirc, and frankly people got really pushy about a thing they don’t even pay for. I don’t blame him for stopping development.
Have also had good experience using namecheap for years.
I understood like four of the words in your comment so I’m going to go ahead and assume that solution is too advanced for me.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Scale was probably my number two so far, but I read a lot of good things about Unraid. I think I might try both and see which one I like working with more.
Because I want them both accessible at the same time.
Because I play two weekly games.
I don’t want to use the synology anymore, I’m interested in building my own system from previous parts with better performance. I don’t have a very great synology right now and also want more drive space.
I don’t know, that’s why I’m here for advice lol. I’ve never had to tackle “which OS?” before.
One percent of 300,000 would be 3,000.
