The phrasing by the person you are responding to is perfectly fine and shows ample understanding. Maybe you do not understand what they were positing.

What is stopping you from running HP-UX for all your workloads? The questuon is totally in purpose so that you’ll fill in what it means to you.

“What is stopping you from” <- this is a loaded question.

We’ve been hosting stuff long before docker existed. Docker isn’t necessary. It is helpful sometimes, and even useful in some cases, but it is not a requirement.

I had no problems with dependencies, config, etc because I am familiar with just running stuff on servers across multiple OSs. I am used to the workflow. I am also used to docker and k8s, mind you - I’ve even worked at a company that made k8s controllers + operators, etc. I believe in the right tool for the right job, where “right” varies on a case-by-case basis.

tl;dr docker is not an absolute necessity and your phrasing makes it seem like it’s the only way of self‐hosting you are comfy with. People are and have been comfy with a ton of other things for a long time.

Curious question: have you looked into something like this https://a.co/d/b6tSJDI ? Sorry for the amazon link there, use it as inspiration. Maybe some cheap stereo box with power supply, etc? This might fit better in a car than a pelican case and may allow you to stuff components, fan etc

What part of “self hosting” that I mentioned above goes through a provider? Or do you only know like NordVPN?

You’ve never hosted your own vpn?

My guy you forgot vpns

I put the prndl in r and just goose it

I had been using logseq before. This is great running on one of my rpi4b’s. Thanks!
