I also need to work out how to do automatic certificate renewal and if that’s even worth doing

This is what certbot is for. For example, with nginx, you just set up the webserver to be reachable via your domain.

You then install and run certbot, and it will aquire, install and configure, and then set itself up to auto-renew, a certificate. All with just one command.

With Nextcloud specifically I also don’t like the fact that you can’t change the domain after the initial setup

Yes you can?

I’ve done it thrice now.

Is this some limitation of the docker AIO stack?

FolderSync pairs nicely if you want some sync features on android.

On a desktop or laptop I’d just mount it as a drive.

If you really want automatic sync with offline availability, the Nextcloud desktop client has been solid for years now.

Indeed.

I’m not saying there aren’t NASes that do this. Unfortunately, there absolutely are.

No sane NAS should work that way.

Unless you have a giant raid array, where you need all the drives running at the same time on the same system, plugging in a single raid 1 member, for example, via usb to sata adapter, should let you access its contents just fine.

Provided you’re on an OS that can read the file system. That can require some extra effort on windows.

But yeah. Beware of the pre-built NASes. The vendor lock-in is real.

Framework 16?

Definitely something to consider in terms of longevity. User replacable RAM, storage, and battery.

And they’ve now successfully done the first mainboard and gpu refresh.

Linux would not be pre-installed, but it can be purchased without windows.

The video has been recorded, but is not out yet. Linus talked about it on the latest WAN show and on social media.

They collabed.

I don’t think Trump is familiar with shame. Even as a concept.

Sure does. Look at the store page.

They literally made it into a lil guy!

It looks like they basically just slapped the Deck controls into a smaller form factor.

That can’t not work.

Those new controllers look like EXACTLY what I’ve been hoping for.

The Index controllers are great, unless your hands are big. Then they’re barely usable imo.

The best fit for me was the OG Oculus Touch controller, and these look like they stole everything about those that worked.

A part of it is concern.

System administration on a system you’re planning to use remotely over the internet must be done right. Not being sure what you’re doing is how we all learn, but you really should be sure before exposing yourself to the internet.

It’s not like experimenting with linux on a laptop. Self-hosting is usually about providing some sort of service for yourself, which if accessed by someone malicious, can be used to really hurt you.

In a nutshell:

Google is spending a shitload of money to find bugs in FOSS projects, but then refuses to spend the fraction more it would cost to contribute an actual fix, rather than just a bug report.

Basically, they are willing a spend a ton on finding a bunch of work for FOSS developers to do, but not on actually getting any of it done.

Also me, but with anime girls.

67 is just the “E” meme again. Change my mind.

This is on whoever removed the eyes.

There are like two dozen ways to completely dissolve most adhesives.

Or what, did she epoxy them on there?

This typically involves being in desktop mode.

So OP is joking about waiting to go back to gaming mode.

I didn’t tho.

You’re confusing my homelab with my dads OMV NAS that is running kopia as its only non-standard service because I wanted to use it as my off-site target.

I wasn’t presenting OMV as the solution to all of OPs examples, I literally just commented to point out “hey this is kinda like hexos but foss”.

To which you responded “lol no, there is no comparison”. Which is both untrue, and a rude way to go about saying anything.

I don’t use docker via a GUI. And I don’t run docker at all on the NAS running OMV.

My backup solution is Kopia. Two servers, each running an instance that backs up local storage to the other.

OP isn’t talking about a full homelab. If all you need is a home VPN and some network storage via SMB, OMV is fine.

For my homelab, OMV would be clunky af. For the NAS at my dad’s end, it’s ideal.

For a free foss alternative, look at OMV (OpenMediaVault).

Most of what a user might need is fairly simple to set up in the webUI, and if you know what you are doing, you can still go into the underlying debian system and do whatever you like.
