Officially, yes. Never tried getting them out of the PB tbh, there are easier ways for that (cough Anna).

Impressive tbh. I read at least 30min per day in bed with background lighting on and make it for more than 2 month usually (with an Era colour, though).
The verse of my kid has not been recharged ever since they got it in August and they use it for hours each weekend and approx.1 per weekday - with zero light on,though.
Another point for Pocketbook (not relevant for you,but maybe someone else): It works effortlessly with calibre web - unlike Tolinos, Kindles and some Kobos(even those have a better integration when they work).
And at least in Europe the "onleihe" (digital public library) system works extremly well on them. Around 90% of our books are from various onleihe librarys. (Unlike Tolino and some Kobos they support multiple onleihe accounts).(BTW: There are ways to get accounts for some of these - that have extensive english sections) even if you don't live there)
Service wise: I had issues with initial delivery and they were solid (even though it wasn't their fault).
Data security wise we looked into the traffic a hit and beside the usual shop traffic (recommendations,etc.) it seems to not do much,but we have it in an isolated network that only allows access to Onleihe, Calibre Web and a RSS aggregator anyway.
Can't complain at all. Very happy with them, only complaints I have so far is the not as Kobo calibre Web integration (not their fault) and the fact that their OS is not as open as I wish.
It's not that hard actually, at least tech-wise. Our ERP always has been web based and so is our project management (Redmine). The biggest "installable" Apps are QGIS(always worked on Linux), some LaTex Apps and the Affinity suite (which works through bottles)
Officewise Softmaker is close enough to MS Office that even someone with little experience computerwise has no issues.
Combine that with a Proxmox+FreeIPA+Opsi stack in the background and you're set.Fedora 42 Plasma is used as a client OS with benefits from us only having 2 different client models hardware wise.
"Politic" wise I have the huge advantage that I am the sole owner of the company, that my staff is young and willing to innovate as this is basically our job (we do consulting for healthcare) and that we are somewhat small and work home-office full time.
The major challenge was to make people to actually try Linux. Plasma helped her enormously,because, let's face it, it's beautiful. That gave Linux a lot of godwil and after two days it was usually a "I never thought it would be that easy" or "that works as smooth as Win7/10 once did for me and MS destroyed that".
Now some of my employees have privately changed to Linux as well.
Made the move gradually - first the private computers of my family,then my company. Very happy with how it went, especially in terms of staff adoption. We still retain some dual boot windows machines,sadly,as some things currently still can't be done in the Linux world (CAD is the one thing, some very specific Office document things we sadly get dictated by a client the other one.)
Sorry, then proceed with LE. Got that part mixed up, you are totally rjght.
It is absolutly possible, but oersonally I would highly recommend getting yourself a proper public domain for that,even if you won't use it otherwise (it's even somewhat saver if you use a designated one for it).
To make it really easy get the domain with someome who also provides DNS with it (Hetzner is a solid choice, so are others, has to have an API). (E.g. "mydomain.casa".)
Now get an internal DNS server that can handle it's own zones. I always recommend technitium, but there are other choices. Pihole is not a good choice here.
Next thing is a reverse proxy,as you mentioned. If you want it easy, NginxProxyManager is a good choice, but limits what one can do later. But it kind of works out of the box. Traefik and caddy are both often named,but I found none of them as "fire and forget" as NPM is - and caddy can't do a lot of things either. Traefik is what I currently use,but even using Manatrae or similar GUIs it's sometimes a pain. But it's absolutely powerful especially when you run a lot of docker container on the same host. Tbh, if I had not some special requirements I would still use NPM.
Now, what to do? (Not a full manual, more like a ovrview that it's not that complicated)
- Install all of the above on docker.
- Setup NPM with a wildcard certificate, register with zerossl.com (has advantages over LetsEncrypt), add them as a provider and get a wildcard(!) certificate. (*.yourdomain.casa).
- Setup a proxy host. You simply add the domainname (nextcloud.mydomain.casa),point it to the actual container ("192.168.1.10:3000) and choose the wildcard certificate as a SSL and switch on "force SSL".
- Go to the DNS server, create a DNS zone "mydomain.casa" and then simply add "nextcloud.mydomain.casa" and point it to the Reverse proxy IP. Done.
For good practice I would recommend to also keep a zone that links directly to the services so you can use that whenever necessary. (mydomain.internal)
Get an allergy test. Banana allergies (even though that doesn't necessarily sound like one) are associated with other allergies,including some medications.
So...you might want to know in advance.
If it is not that then try biobananas once. A lot of people are sensitive to the pesticides used.
I would avoid a Raspi/ARM at all costs. But there is a third alternative: A x86 SBC like a Zima Board or blade might be exactly what you are looking for. Small, powerful enough and far easier than an ARM to maintain.

Haha. I've seen worse. Wait. I was hit by worse in worse areas and stool is by far not the worst thing that hit me.
....starts sobbing
I know why by now I prefer my desk and only ocassionally venture back into patient facing work.
Bosch Optimum with the integrated scale.
Look at the Zimablade maybe. Full,Proxmox capabale x86, can be powered via PoE with a splitter(would not recommend it,though), cheap.
Not necessarily. Could just mean they use code that is not theirs and their licence does not allow publishing. Happens more often than one would think.
Switched to Linux for private use first. Then made my company switch(tbf, we still have to have Windows for very particular uses,but 95% of what we do works under Linux). And now we offer a complete ready made setup for medical clinics/doctors surgeries that operates on it.
Could not be happier. So is my staff and the clients we sold it to.
I have expanded my setup over the years. And tbh, I reached so many stages where I read up how pi-hole or adguard achieved this and that. And every time it was like "damn,if you want more than the basics they are actually more complicated. I just have to look up this and this and Technitium does it by the book.". That's so refreshing.
Yeah, came here to write about Technitium. It is rock solid. Absolutely. It looks intimidating at first but you soon figure out you hardly need 10% of the options in the beginning.
But it's so rock solid and good..
Duplicati is probably one of the easier options.
Drone flying.
There are far too many idiots out there that are downright dangerous, annoying, and ignorant. I worked on the "rescue helicopter"(HEMS) in the past and basically everyone of my former colleagues can come up with various near-misses. The rules are god damn easy,the smaller licences are easy to get and if you use a (free!) App for the tricky questions (flight areas) combined with some common sense you're good.
But people willfully don't do that.
Combine that with the massive rise in hybrid warfare drones here(Central Europe) and I have absolutely zero desire to continue with that hobby.
Funny enough it was a discussion I had here on lemmy (with another account) that was the final nail for me.
A group of posters basically refused to use a (free and GDPR compliant) flight area app as it was only available on Playstore, the web app (which is explicitly provided as an alternative) could not be used as it's source code was not provided (whut?) and therefore it's not their fault when they fly into a marked HEMS approach zone in a hospital.
Yeah. I don't want to associated with these people.
Afaik bluestack is the best option for that but I might be mistaken
Tbh: I haven't found a really good replacement yet (we are simultaneously coming off confluence as well and that is even harder)
What we tried:
- Bookstack: I.can.not.understand.what.people.like.about It.Period. From my point of view it's one of the worst systems on the market. Why? The fact that it only allows three different levels of hierarchy, the fact that by default all your images are public and their recommended solution is security by obscurity instead of proper handling it(which it can do) or their absolutely abhorent permission handling.
- Xwiki: It's... Clumsy. Possibly the most capable one, but it's Java and munshes resources like they are free and it's bothersome to setup/get working. Once it works it's extremely capable,especially from a business point of view. It's one of the close contenders for my confluence customers atm.
- DokuWiki has become pretty capable,but takes a good theme and a few modules to be "up to modern standards". The second close contender.
- Another major contender is also BlueSpice. Will look into that next week.
- Last but not least outline is also an idea. Currently looking into that.
- For my personal reference,especially for everything self hosted I used to maintain a fairly extensive Wiki.js,but I have found it more and more bothersome as a split between the configuration assets and the wiki was always there. So nowadays it's often more integrated and stringent to use my GIT repository (forgejo) to keep my documentation as well.
- The same approach is also a nice one for my work and we still discuss if we might "make it work" with our project management (Redmine) and it's wiki component.
- Lastly for a personal wiki Tiddly might be enough, btw.
ZeroSSL has unpaid plans (for non wildcards) that have a few advantages that LE doesn't:
And, first and foremost, they are European and it's always good tk have an alternative ready.
But as said before, I totally missed the wildcard issue, as I haven't touched these for a long time and recently had more to do with my public services (which get a ACME single domain cert via zeroSSL)
