mine is 3 old laptops and a switch in a pile

honestly the cable management is ok … ish

give NixOS a go if you’re cool with configuration files

it has a GUI installer and can install gnome or whatever if you’re not comfortable with ssh only

…and nix config and podman in the lxc for me

this sounds like a good setup

i do everything from home using vlan/proxmox/nixos/podman

yours sounds better i reckon

yes quite - self hosting is tricky and dangerous

i think there is space for a distro or box you can plug into your router that makes it safe and easy

maybe that’s what unraid and trunas are getting towards?

i was just thinking the same

synapse is good enough though

yeah me too it’s mostly very chill

feels like brexit in that they will no longer have influence or discussion with their sworn enemies

they will just circle jerk on their marxist island

honestly it’s really not

any info on intended results/actual results?

Start playing with nixos in a VM

You’ll get the idea I’m sure

i donno i think you’re self hosting if you’re the admin

lemmy and doomerism are synonymous at this point

it’s going to take more than that

the lemmy line is going down much faster than the piefed line is going up

looks like losing 1500 users per quarter when you take both into account

i do look out for new images that could be a drop in replacement

the new no-distro builds of containers is very interesting

ditch ansible

learn nixos

be motivated

I think truenas and unraid are the only user friendly experience out of the box. Everything else needs a lot of configuring. I don’t think you can call system administration gate keeping

my nixos containers and the podman containers inside them update nightly around 03:00

NIxOS is great for servers

nixos is so the solution to this

suprised it’s so far down the thread
