Everyone here is telling you to ditch Arch for Debian and I absolutely agree with them however, if you’re so hell bent on having an Arch server than install Proxmox VE to the host and run both Debian and Arch, build your server up and get it working in Debian first then try to replicate it with Arch, compare the differences.
If you’re already familiar with BASH then making the switch from Arch to Debian won’t be a hassle, just got to learn the Apt package manager.
Additionally, I'd prefer not to not do something like: Computer -> Home VPN -> Mullvad server -> destination, as my upload speed is pretty bad and this would throttle every non-local connection
Because you also mention this:
Computer -> Mullvad server -> Home VPN -> Home server
Which would be the same thing, no? You’re just making a connection to the Mullvad server first then your home network?
I’ll share my experience but it looks like it’s not the solution you’re looking for, I opted to use my Asus WRT Router w/ Merlin Firmware to host my VPN server, the Merlin Firmware lets me connect to 5 different VPN clients at a time, in my case 4 different Proton clients and a buddies server, I use the “VPN Director” feature to route my VPN Server through one of the 5 different clients effectively creating the multi-hop.
I personally haven’t noticed much degradation in regard to connection speeds but at the same time I don’t constantly hop VPN clients or have the same internet speeds as you, I typically stick with the server closest to me.
You’ll likely need to purge your Nvidia drivers after upgrading to 13, I had two machines fail to start NvidiaPersistence.d.service (or something like that) which caused the machines to fail on boot-up.
Reinstalled the drivers with sudo apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-dev nvidia-cuda-toolkit if you’re looking for raytracing don’t forget to install libnvoptix1.
As the end use my biggest gripe with Matrix is with voice communications, it’s almost as if you sneeze wrong you’ll lose connection to the voice group, screen sharing is horrible, no audio and the window is not adjustable, cant even make it full screen.
Now they’re reducing people’s usage by putting in a subscription and locking certain features, at least on the home server.
While I am disappointed they did at least take my advice and prevent Windows Recall from capturing people’s messages.
if you use the Netflix application chances are they’ll detect the virtual network on your system and if it’s in use, most people don’t seem to realize that applications have direct access to your hardware unless it’s containerized, virtualized or explicitly restricted by some policy.
Should put a note on your blog that Lidarr’s Metadata database is being rebuilt, currently the Lidarr APi spits a bunch of 5xx errors when searching for artists/albums/etc.
It’s been about a day since this issue and now I’ve been keeping a close eye on my local-lvm, it fills fast, like, ridiculously fast and I’ve been having to run sudo fstrim / inside the VM just to keep it maintained. I’m finding it weird I’m now just noticing this as this server has been running for months!
For now I edited my /etc/bash.bashrc so whenever I ssh in it’ll automatically run sudo fstrim /, there is something I’m likely missing but this works as a temporary solution.
So I happened to follow the advice from that Proxmox post, enabled the “Discard” option for the disk and ran sudo fstrim / within the VM, now the Proxmox LVM-Thin partition is sitting at a comfortable 135Gb out of 377Gb.
Think I’m going to use this fstrim command on my main desktop to free up space.
Okay so I’ve done some digging and got my VM to boot up! This is not Podman’s fault, I got lazy setting up Proxmox and never really learned LVM volume storage, while internally on the VM it shows 90Gb used of 325Gb Proxmox is claiming 377Gb is used on the LVM-Thin partition.
I’m backing up my files as we speak, thinking of purging it all and starting over.
Edit: before I do the sacrificial purge This seems promising.
This post inspired me to try podman, after it pulled all the images it needed my Proxmox VM died, VM won’t boot cause disk is now full. It’s currently 10pm, tonight’s going to suck.
