They walked it back for now. It’s gonna come back. They’ve already shown they were willing to cross the line, and they will do it again.

Proxmox isn’t really comparable to Docker (or its 3rd party webui frontends) and was never meant to directly run user-facing services. Proxmox simply provides the virtual infrastructure required to host VMs and LXCs that will run your desired services.

IMO, Dockge (not a typo) is a far cleaner and easier solution than Portainer. Its very simple to set up and can easily link to other Dockge instances on other Docker hosts (I have like 4 or 5 VMs just for Docker). It also doesn’t bury your compose files deep inside a specific Docker volume that only allows its own container to access…like Portainer does.

That’s why they’re asking here.

I use Syncthing to sync my database between my laptops, desktop, work computer, personal phone, work phone, and my NAS (which gets everything and is set to never delete anything). NAS is backed up weekly, and the password database is also backed up to a few trusted cloud services.

It is a huge problem here, unfortunately.

Not in the US they aren’t.

It is apparently regulatory hell to get up and running.

By design, of course.

I think you might be misunderstanding something here, because this is already how every ISP works - including the one you are using right now. Just on a bigger scale.

No thanks, double-NATing is not my idea of fun when it comes to self-hosting.

Yo wtf

I’m honestly not entirely sure. I’ve been eyeballing Valetudo for a few years now, but the price of the supported robots was out of my budget until I happened onto the $20 Wyze from eBay. Took a chance and won big. I’m into it a whopping $65. And a bit of labor to swap the motherboard (mine refused to run ADB at all). But that’s the fun part for me.

So, uh, exactly how “old” is that server? Because, if I understood it correctly, it should be based on 8th gen Intel, which makes this a solid piece of equipment in any homelab (provided you can deal with the noise and power draw).

As tempting as that is, I’m not expecting to build up something that hefty. Love the wireminding and all, but I’m hoping to keep this as something I can mount nicely in my teeny tiny network cabinet. The horsepower I’m looking for, alongside the low thermal and power loads, are my goal. Maybe I’ll expand beyond eventually, but who knows?

Understood! I’m just showing you that a tiny/mini/micro PC is incredibly beefy for what it is, especially when you stuff it with an i7 and a bunch of RAM.

Thank you for the suggestion though! Also love the R&C refs :) Still need to finish Rift Apart.

I name all my physical machines after R&C characters. HA is “Ace” as in Ace Hardlight, and the Optiplex on the left (running Frigate) is “Skrunch”… As in Qwark’s monkey sidekick 😂

Rift Apart was super fun. The final battle sequence is awesome for grinding if you wanna 100% the game. I’ve got it down to a science haha.

I use RPi 4 2Gb for Pi-Hole.

Pi-hole will run on far less than that. I run Pi-hole and PiVPN on a Zero W. Uptime is over a year now.

Buy a 7th gen Intel based tiny/mini/micro PC instead of a Pi or NUC. You get much more bang for your buck. 35W max draw. They are far more capable than people give them credit for. I run 3 of them (4 if you count the Mac mini).

That’s kinda their schtick though. They’ve been that way since before they split off from Owncloud.

You can blame Dodge (yes, that Dodge) for enshrining the importance of shareholders over customers.

I just don’t understand why I’d want the hardware at home instead of remote. I don’t have much space at ome, and my home internet is crappy.

Because plenty of us do have space and have good internet. You don’t have to, and that’s totally fine.

Despite owning a lifetime Plex Pass, it would put ads in the subtitles. That may be on the site’s end though, not Plex’s.

You would be correct. Plex doesn’t generate the subtitles at all - they are pulled from places like OpenSubtitles. The person/entity that made the subtitles and uploaded them to wherever Plex pulled it from is responsible for that. Absolutely zero to do with having a lifetime Plex Pass.

Same here. Dockge is also developed by the Watchtower dev.

It’s so much easier to use than Portainer: no weird licensing shit, uses standard Docker locations, and works even with existing stacks. Also helps me keep Docker stacks organized - each compose.yaml lives in it’s own folder under /opt/stacks/.

I have 4 VMs on my cluster specifically for Docker, each with it’s own Dockge instance, which can be linked together so that any Dockge instance in my cluster can access all Docker stacks over all the VMs.
