This sounds very interesting! I came from DietPi to MicroOS and am now thinking about NixOS, also because of the portability aspect.
I skipped Ansible for now but maybe I have to try that out together with NixOS.
Are you using a VM manager of some sort? I saw libvirtd mentioned in this thread a couple of times.
I tried MicroOS for a while now and I don’t know if it was my fault but I did not work so smoothly all the time. Maybe because the machine was turned off for a few days in a row. But a couple of times I just couldn’t ssh into the machine or it would not start up at all. Luckily ,ou can roll back and I used that to copy my docker volumes and compose files over. I think about trying NixOS next.
I also started with DietPi an every device, works like a charm. But I personally want to try something else to learn a bit more.
Edit:
I think about trying NixOS in the near future.
Can you point me to a tutorial how to setup that up properly for websites? I tried it a while ago and could not get it to work…
I played around with copyparty and I have to say it is just awesome! The config is just fun to mess around with and everything feels snappy.
But I ran into an issue with FTP (probably just something I configured incorrectly) and could not find a discussion for that. I should probably start an issue on Github but as a non-developer I’m not sure how to do that in the correct way.
Edit: I managed to “solve” the problem. Apparently the user uploading to a subfolder over FTP needs the move permission for the folder above said subfolder.
Maybe take a look at this fork: pairdrop
Slowly I am getting confused with all these technologies. What is quadlets if I may ask?
Do you have a recommendation on how to start migrating from docker compose to podman pod or podman kube? And do you know about a web ui for podman (similar to dockge or komodo)?
+1 for dockge. But that’s something for later. Yunohost is a great way to get a feeling for selfhosting.
Many great options already but I would like to add filestash to the list. I did not test it out yet but maybe it fits your need.
I am currently arguing what to do with my gaming rig and home theater. Either get a long cable which would need a DP-to-HDMI adapter or get a used mini PC (which is currently cheaper than a Raspberry Pi?) and setup Sunshine and Moonlight (but over WiFi and not LAN) to be more flexible when I eventually move the two into separate rooms. Does anyone have some experience with that? Maybe also latency over wireless network?
And what about just plain music? Is Jellyfin or Audiobookshelf better suited for that?
Sounds very straight forward. Do you have a samba docker container running on your server or how do you do that?
Thank you, this is not exactly what I am looking for but in the future I will look into this topic. It is a bit advanced and I need more hard drive space.
Can floccus keep new links in cache if the server is not available? I think I tried floccus once but didn’t manage to get this to work.
I read about silverbullet a few times now. What is your experience with it? It looks very nice but I switch note taking apps so often I don’t have time to use any of them properly.
Can you please elaborate on this? I am currently using MicroOS and think about NixOS because of quick setup. But also about Proxmox and NixOS on top. Where would libvirt fit in in this scenario?
