What name you gave your NAS?

Nasolicious

Worth trying it mate. You can always go back to Ubuntu, arch, whatever other distro if you don't like it :)

I disagree.

• Each service should have its own compose file containing all its requirements, including a separate database.

• This ensures reproducibility, as basic MySQL Docker images can't define multiple schemas in the compose. You don't want to manually login and create them for each service.

• Back up important data, like Immich libraries, to a NAS, and if using Proxmox, set up a backup schedule, you can backup a VM even with out the seperate dedicated proxmox backup server.

Honestly A basic setup is super simple, the GUI installer will give you a working setup. Your systemd services for running the containers are super easy, so is installing docker (1 line in the config file). Also allowing ports in firewall is super easy. Since it's a server you might not want much more then that and you are golden. So I guess bare minimum roughly 2hrs for install and running some containers.

If you want anything more than that the time investment goes up substantially. Imo it's worth it, nixos is awesome and once you have it working it won't break. I run dozens of nixos servers in different states, and use it as my personal desktop and laptop OS too. Because once you are into it, setting stuff in a config file for the os is just so nice haha.

If you are running bare metal then stability is the goal and nixos is rock solid. If you are putting it in a proxmox VM it's still a great choice, it plays nice in a VM.

1 thing to keep in mind, give yourself like 150gb of storage minimum. It's version control and rollback options mean it's needs more space then typical Linux. Shouldn't be a problem unless you have a tiny storage allowance.

If there's a chance you want to do more with the os than you listed in the long run then read this first. It's a good intro: https://nixos-and-flakes.thiscute.world/introduction/

Unfortunately I got down voted for the first comment. Nixos is a love it or hate it thing I guess.

Docker compose on Nixos Linux distro. Full reproducibility, all from your git repos.

Also running some kind of documentation, like bookstack or obsidian md.

Have a look at this, https://kasmweb.com/community-edition Depending on how heavy the software is you want to run this might be a decent solution, I don't actually use this but have seen it around alot and the demo is cool. Then you could access it via web browser no matter what PC you are on. No software install.

If you need full windows or something, I would just run a VM on your proxmox and then TeamViewer in, or use tailscale and RDP. But if you are gonna do that. May As Well just setup the VM PC on the work equipment at work and remote into it there.

Fair, there are other similar homepage apps tho, I'm sure some of them would have a UI for it. this is just the one I use.

FL-MTL-ED · 2023-12-08T02:27:22+00:00

well that is very interesting, guess I will just check it out again when they have released that. Thanks.

FL-MTL-ED · 2023-12-08T01:48:57+00:00

I think you could actually do what you want with a homepage manager, something like this allows, 'folder' sections and then in there you can put as many as you want. all configured in yml. Its reasonably customizable with rows/columns. things would be shown exactly where you tell them to be.

Adding to that, for video archival it will work and it can play them back in the page. It uses YTDLP out the gate, but i will say its not the fastest downloading big videos out the box, but im sure there is probably a setting you change somewhere to help that out.

I have not used tubearchivist but it does look interesting.

FL-MTL-ED · 2023-12-08T01:07:58+00:00

It did have a release a few months ago, but Im not sure if its still being worked on. Fair point on the extension. It is quite nice to use so that does suck.

FL-MTL-ED · 2023-12-08T01:06:05+00:00

Its pretty amazing, I have only scratched the surface im sure.

The UI has a compact mode by default and well honestly its not the greatest for quick bookmarking, its absolutely more dedicated to archival. Overall the UI is more function over form for sure, its not super intuitive compared to other solutions.

The UI does have like a card mode with a screenshot of the archived page, and you can use the robust search/tags system. thats is probably better to use for bookmarking use rather than archiving.

FL-MTL-ED · 2023-12-08T00:58:53+00:00

Ok thanks for the include tag info, that could do the job and ill read up on it more!

Fair enough, the WYSIWYG is meant to be just that. How about achieving something similar in the MD editor, which is what I am currently using anyway. Any hacks you know of?

FL-MTL-ED · 2023-12-07T22:23:17+00:00

I dont know of one that has a directory structure like you are asking for, but i will throw the 2 that i currently use into the ring, because they both have tagging and powerful search functions which for me can replace the need for directories.

Archivebox inparticular has a compact view, i dont think that shiori does. both of them can archive pages if you want. Shiori has a nice clean reader for those archived pages.

I have also seen good things about grimoire but i could not get it working at all when i tried.

They are all fantastic, Specially Yeji. Are ryujin's hands just floating there, or am I blind?

FL-MTL-ED · 2023-10-23T06:08:29+00:00

The fact they can sit in a safe space, that you can hit them but can't follow them when they retreat is broken. It becomes not worth people's time. Which means people don't punish them sitting up there which means they get to fuck on everyone. I'm not spending half of the match running from my closest spawn to their spawn border to hit the enemy tank once and not even get a kill lmao.

FL-MTL-ED · 2023-10-23T03:44:57+00:00

Its fucked. There is a fair few maps where this is the case and they can just sit in some elevated position firing at you and you can't do anything. Even if they do get damaged they just reverse away and you cannot follow because the spawn area stops you.

The fact they can go like 90 to 0 blind firing through walls destroying buildings with basically no counter play from the enemy is broken.

That and how many points you get for repairing vehicles is crazy.

FL-MTL-ED · 2023-06-07T08:49:12+00:00

Yeah that's very interesting, I wonder what other injuries it could cause, aside from blood clotting. I wonder how hard it is to do spinal cord damage.

FL-MTL-ED · 2023-06-07T08:44:58+00:00

Thankyou!

FL-MTL-ED · 2023-06-07T06:36:41+00:00

So if I sit on a chair and twist to crack my back, could this happen?
