I went with Debian and I use Docker for containers. I considered Proxmox, but I didn't end up trying it. PiHole is a good application for the Pi Zero (I have an early generation Pi dedicated to running PiHole), but you could also run it on the Beelink.
I strongly recommend you download Obsidian and keep hyperlinked notes on everything you do and links to every tutorial/resource you end up using.Have a place to keep all the passwords your services will end up needing. A password manager is the best option. Make the password on your admin account on Debian (or whatever) easy to remember and enter, since you'll need to sudo a lot.If the Beelink comes with a copy of Windows installed, you can recover the key from within Linux with the following command: sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDMThen you have a spare Windows key should you ever need one.
I use Portainer mainly to start / stop / restart containers without the mental load of using the command line. It works fine with Compose if you can get (or write) a yaml file for the container you're interested in, or you can use it to pull from the repository and set everything up if you can't. Portainer also gives you a nice, one-stop view of the current state of your containers. Basically, it can't hurt to have it around.Personally, my favorite Docker management GUI is the one that comes with Synology NASes. It's much less clunky that Portainer and iirc a little more powerful. But of course it only runs in their hardware.
The graphics card looks okay. It probably has a passive mode where the fans only spin up under load. If it doesn't that suggests an issue with the power supply affecting both the CPU and GPU.
First off, I'm pretty sure the 7600X doesn't have an integrated GPU, and it won't boot without a graphics card installed. Plug in your graphics card and make sure it's powered.
The debug LED code says there's a problem with the CPU (Right? Double check the manual). Unfortunately you probably need to take the cooler off and reseat the CPU itself. Make sure the lever is properly engaged. Don't worry about the thermal paste now, just try to get it to complete POST.
That's good to know. I leave location services off on Android when I'm not using them and the possibility of a triangulation leak always nagged me a little. Not a lot, because I've never heard of any actual harm coming from it. But a little.
Let's say I'm willing to trade faster delivery for lower cost - is there another site with similar selection that you would recommend?I ordered some common 1/4-20 bolts from McMaster recently because buying them from the local big-box is an even worse deal, but I did feel like I could get a better price somewhere else.
Well that's a shame. I'm sort of half-assedly using syncthing to backup my photos from my phone to my server, but mostly I rely on immich. I never really got the hang of using syncthing with my phone.
