Currently I have one Docker host. I want to split my containers across 2 hosts. Both just small form factor PCs. (Lenovo, forget the exact model. But each have 16gb of DDR4 and an i5. One is 8th gen, and the other I have to double check. The one I haven't setup yet has an Nvidia card of sorts. I want to offload media services onto that one.)
I also wish they were open with their tech. That is true; and would be hard to protect against it without outright blocking proton as a whole for sign-ups.
I aim to go as open as I can with everything. I know it's not feasible to go 100% with some niche needs I have. So I just aim to use as much open tech as possible because it aligns with what I believe.
Absolutely was going to bring my own domain if I go down the proton route.
I will retract my statement on law enforcement; I couldn't find any of the sources I thought I had on there being words about law enforcement cooperation. I will absolutely not push a false narrative; so thank you for pointing that out. If I do find what I thought I remembered seeing info on, I will update my comment/replies.
Ultimately it doesn't matter how well a software can protect your information/data, etc; if the company/entity using it doesn't value what privacy/safety/security.
And ultimately, I am not a a defacto source on what others should do. That should be up to the individual based on their goals.
I am not a lover or hater of proton. I just know that for my needs and desires mullvad checks all boxes. Their VPN infrastructure is diskless (source: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/we-have-successfully-completed-our-migration-to-ram-only-vpn-infrastructure) and the ability to pay with cash. And the fact your account is just a number and no need for entering in other identifiable info. Add in 5he fact I can get OpenVPN config files or Wireguard config files directly exported so I dont have a need for another piece of software I dont need.
Where as protons VPN client if I am not mistaken is locked behind their proprietary software for connection.
I absolutely see the value in other things they offer, as I was investigating paying for email through them. But I just haven't done it.
Vpns aren't a silver bullet. They have their use case. I just know i have to have trust in the company in using their service. And with the cooperation with law enforcement proton has stated to do; I am not going to use that offering.
And not sure if that is standard for VPNs these days though I like that idea.
For the other service offerings they have, I self host what I need.
--Edit: struck through something I believed but could not find the source on it I was sure I had read. By no means do I want to spread misinformation. Apologies.
I can understand that. However, ability to pay cash is wonderful. And I may not agree with ehat either people of either company says. But I will say that Mullvad VPN is superior to Proton.
Not an apple user in any definition but glad apple users are getting clients for Navidrome too. I love Navidrome, especially paired with Feishin for desktop; Symfonium or Tempus on Android
Passbolt pales in comparison. The fact I can only get the android app from google play. No thanks. That is a deal breaker right there. I am working towards moving 100% off from google play.
After quickly spinning up a container of it; it feels very unpolished and can't say it will replace Bitwarden/Vaultwarden for me.
I quite like Bookstack. The next step to my documentation journey is auto-uploading README.generated.md files that are generated by a script running on a timer triggering a service with systemd.
Though this doesn't cover my physical machines in production.
I am leaning that way too. Although I do want to maintain a wiki that I can host.
So I settled on using a script that runs as a service on a timer, and can beanually triggered to generate README.md files that get synced with my git repo of docker containers
This will be huge for me, as most of what I run are containers.
The next step will be using Bookstack's API to push these README.md files into books on my bookstack container.
I'll go a step further and setup automated exports of these documents.
I am taking precautions to have my setup easily deployable no matter the hardware. The only real documentation becomes mountpoints and such for external storage.
For DNS and Reverse Proxy entries, I have those automated. Any time I spin up a new docker container, that information is deployed with labels. Also entries into my homepage.
The .env files contain any variable I would want to store to make my setup portable, shareable and not have to worry about leaking any of my information. Not that it would be end of the world considering nothing really leaves my network unless it is through my VPN.
I am of that camp, lazy, when it comes to documentation. I have lucked out, as of now after years most if not all of what I need setup has been kept in the ol noggin. But I am building out documentation as we speak. Slowly but surely.

Anyways, on to the breakdown:
Containers:
Next up I want to add Autokuma. However, I am going to split these containers onto another machine yet.
