I use Gitea and all it manages are my docker configs and backup scripts. Simple to install via docker and then its just git. Haven't had to do anything fancy.
Definitely this, especially if you'll be sharing with a non techie. My wife was able to pick 1password up and use it immediately and she normally turns her nose up at any of my recommendations.
For the 1password accounts 2FA, use a yubikey or aegis. Everything else to 1 password.
The choice to ship with a beta version of the new DE is interesting. Is it that stable now and will there be a clear upgrade path to the final release?
I'm tempted to grab the beta myself and just go for it now...
Edit: fuck it, I just upgraded my install. Not like I do much important on my computer anyways. This is really nice, almost no pain from the upgrade and other than a couple of menus staying open when I click off of them it's been running just fine. Now to abuse it...
Funny you should say that! If I was still over in that part of the country I'd absolutely take you up. There is a local used IT shop near me and I was really excited to purchase some of those for a good deal. Then found out that they only update their online inventory when you click add to cart. Long story short, the prices were too good to be true and they didn't have any left in stock.
Already have the rack and it hosts most of my items (router, switch, raspberry pi rack, NAS, PS3 apple TV). Honestly other than the raspberry pi rack and the router, the rest are just using shelves anyways. I need to find a good, non-bulky way to take the enclosure fan and switch it on when temps get above a set point. What I've done in the past with an arduino is way too bulky.
I love your idea and its funny you mention the mini PCs and thin clients. As I look at prices I'm more and more leaning towards just another shelf and using mini PCs.
I'm trying to find a reasonably priced used rack mount computer to move all my containers to. I have a rack in my house but measuring the depth between posts only gets me around 17.5". Recently deployed paperless-ngx and decided it would be too much to add onto my poor little NAS which hosts everything else so its deployed on my main computer and I want to avoid that strategy.
Challenge is that being new to rack servers and all of this (the NAS was a great intro box) I've got a large learning curve ahead of me.
Appreciate everyone's help. What I ended up doing was moving to porkbun as I (a) saved money with some of the whois privacy items, (b) got free SSL certificates, and (c) it worked with the automated certbot tie in with Nginx-Prox-Manager. I did confirm I could manually load certs into Nginx but have very limited time at the moment and this seemed like a straightforward path.
Certainly the proposals for self-hosted DNS servers are interesting and something I may experiment with in the future but times limited at the moment. Now I'm just working out why Jellyfin and Photoprism work perfectly but homebox doesn't want to work with the domain name. Another round of learning begins!
Years ago I started out programming in QBASIC specifically because ms-dos came with a flavor that had a number of games that you could run. With the gorillas game (two gorillas throwing exploding bananas at each other) I had a direct feedback loop on what the code changes did. No book or help files, just raw edit and trial-and-error. Later on I moved to DarkBasic which was essentially a basic wrapper onto a 3D engine for making games. I loved both for their simplicity.
What would be the similar modern corollaries if I wanted my kids to have that early exposure nowadays?
If you are talking about the steps where wolfgang adds a lets encrypt cert, bluehost is not a recognized DNS provider. If you are talking something else could you provide some additional detail please?
