1·1 year agoFirst post in the world of Lemmy! Woot! Another Reddit escapee. I can’t for the life of me understand the management team at Reddit. I get that they need to make money and that they’re pissed off at the AI guys for pilfering their data but the people who contribute to the subreddits and moderate them for free are why Reddit is such a success. Why would you screw them over? It’s so short sited. If you’re pissed at OpenAI then talk to them and figure out how they can pay for your API access but don’t screw the people that made you a success. They can afford to spend a little of the VC/Microsoft money. Okay…off the soap box now…
Up until very recently I was running all my services on a HP DL380 Gen9 server. Beautiful server but sucks back electricity like a drunk on New Years Eve and is way too noisy for my office. Purchased 4 different Tiny PCs (3 Lenovos and 1 Dell).
One Lenovo (AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2200GE with 32GB RAM) is running RockyLinux with Docker with 20+ containers currently running.
- “Sweden Services” - SABnzbd, Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr
- Tools - IT-Tools, Pairdrop, CyberChef and Paperless NGX
- Homelab services - Portainer, Dozzle and Nginx Proxy Manager
- Info - FreshRSS
- Media - Plex, Audiobookshelf and Navidrome
I’m constantly playing with different containers - adding, removing, etc. I did try making the switch to Podman as I like the idea of rootless containers but could not for the life of me get things like NFS shares and Portainer integration working and was spending way too much time fighting with it. Will probably try again in the near future.
Then the other 3 Tiny PCs are running XCP-NG with various VMs including my Xen Orchestra, Kali, a couple Windows machines (usually off), Tailscale gateway box and a few others. Again, mostly for testing things out.
Using OpnSense as my firewall. Have a TrueNAS system sharing files and another small Rockstor NAS also.
Looking forward to the community here. Thanks.
I first tried zerotier but ran into some weird issue…don’t recall what it is now…and then tried tailscale and was up and running in like 15 mins. But I see others have had the absolutely opposite experience from mine where tailscale wouldn’t work and zerotier would. I think they’re both great products.
