  • Selfhosting as a Linux newbie - Ubuntu Server LTS or Debian 13?

  • I use Podman on my desktop, but only for that single container (I need Microsoft SQL Server for work). I know they are 99% compatible, including CLI syntax, but in that 1% cases things might break and thus https://selfhosting.sh/ is recommending to stick to Docker for newbies, because almost all tutorials are written for Docker. I don't know, I might try with Podman, however I don't really need a steeper learning curve if whatever setup guide for some service that I'm using is not compatible with Podman.

  • Ok, I will keep that in mind. I'm just wary of what you said earlier:

    You can fuck up both Ubuntu and Debian's upgrades by adding a lot of 3rd-party repos because apt doesn't safeguard against external repos interfering with the core repos' dependency graph.

    You're not the first person to tell me not to add too many external repositories on Debian for the same reason.

  • So the trick is to keep the OS minimal, install only Docker from its repo and install anything else in Docker containers.

    Why from Docker's repo and not from Debian's? I just did a quick apt search docker and I see docker.io and docker-cli.

  • So, theoretically, I could run Proxmox on the VPS if it's running Debian? I read that Proxmox requires a lot of RAM and VPSes are too expensive in that regard. But I might run Proxmox at home, I have a beefy PC with 64GB of RAM, except it doesn't turn on right now (something died, either the PSU or the motherboard, I still need to have it diagnosed).

  • One thing I read about is that Ubuntu provides unattended updates, so it can automatically update packages and restart the server (that seems a bit too far ;) ). It's probably possible on Debian but not out of the box.

  • my printer just works! Out of the box, no issues

    Ha, I'm going to test my dad's printer in Linux Mint this weekend, because I plan to migrate him from Windows 10. I remember printers on Linux used to be a PITA ~20 years ago, but I also read somewhere that (some?) printers now work driverless (no idea how that works), so we'll see.

  • How to not loose important documents?

    Jump

  • I have a similar setup. My PC has disks formatted in Btrfs, so I get copy on write snapshots of my system disk, then have a local Restic backup on a secondary disk and then have an off-site Restic backup in the cloud on the Storage Box.

    Thanks for pointing me to Paperless, never heard of it, it seems like it could be useful. I wonder how it deals with languages other than English, if at all.

  • This actually looks brilliant! And I see it's German, which is a plus. Thank you!

  • Hm... Worth a try. :) Somehow I didn't find it, I only saw something called "notebookbar". Thanks. I don't use any office suites (besides Google Spreadsheets to keep track of my video games spend) myself so I'm clueless.

  • My only issue is with banking apps and our national ID app which is very useful. I know some work, but I haven't seen all that I have listed, so I would have to be the guinea pig :) I actually have an older Pixel phone with a shattered screen, I was planning to have it repaired, so I guess that's where I can test GrapheneOS safely.

  • I migrated from the US servers to the EU servers and while looking through my settings I noticed that my renewal was $19.80 instead of $12 last year. At first I thought that the EU servers are much more expensive and was upset that support didn't tell me before migration, but it turns out that's just the new price.

  • May I ask which Hetzner VPS did you choose? I wonder if the Cost-Optimized ones are sufficient. I would be using it with max 2 users, same as you.

  • If I go with the VPS option I'd like to host Immich instead. But it seems to be hungry for memory, especially with the ML features enabled.

  • I really don't understand this "Nextcloud does too much" rhetoric, the standard bare metal installation is basically just Files, Photos, Calendar and Contacts

    That's just my impression based on their website, it looks like a business suite, but I'm probably looking at it wrong. Thank you, the part about the database is important.

  • A bonus question regarding the 3-2-1 backup strategy. If my VPS is in Germany, but I spin up a Storage Box in Finland, that falls within the boundaries of "off-site backup", even if both are managed by Hetzner. What do you think? It's just easiest to setup, I guess. Otherwise I need another cloud provider (perhaps some S3 object storage).
