  • I mean, neo launcher also has many breaking bugs, eg deleting all your widgets if you change anything at all.

    All of the FOSS launchers I have tried are either missing features I use, or are buggy and have no releases in years.

    I finally just gave in and got octopi launcher, because at least it has swipe gesture actions on folders, which I got very used to with nova launcher




  • To anyone that may want an update:

    • Turns out I only had 3 ddr4 sticks (1x16, 2,8), so I am only running 2/3 of the systems I intended
    • I had to modify the fuck out of a Vostro’s case, as the M720’s can only hold 1 HDD, 1 SSD and 1 NVME drive
    • I had to jumper a PSU to power my 2x10 _12_gb drives as I found out the M720 uses a 10pin power connection, and the 10pin PSU I had doesn’t have a single sata power connection (and is only 280W). I didn’t trust using the 4pin mobo to sata power for 2 12tb HDD’s, especially on a 280W PSU.
    • Proxmox is confusing
    • Seriously, a lot of (honestly probably AI generated) articles talk about not bothering with a NAS VM, and just using an LXC container, but after spending hours wondering why it wouldn’t work, I found out that unprivileged LXC containers can’t do NFS, at all, and I could not figure out how to make the Samba share read/write, which is a hard requirement.
    • The convert to template button is dangerous, and broke my unbound pihole setups for a bit, as using that fancy new template broke things within the lxc container somehow
    • I am learning, which is important, right?


  • I was definitely debating doing something like that, I would just need to actually learn how.

    The cluster would definitely only have 3 systems, one of which having actual storage space and the other 2 having at most 1TB (but would be on SSD/NVME drives).

    My biggest concern is if I can migrate my current docker stack without much issue, or if I would have to start from scratch.



  • Yeah, I agree with Authelia feeling brittle. I have seen a lot of people switch from traefik to caddy, and I am definitely considering it at this point - I am a bit worried about the lack of GUI as it is definitely easier to see if something is wrong by opening that up (when it actually works) than reading logs, but i also heard caddy has a plugin for a GUI?

    I have considered looking at proxmox, but i don’t think i do enough vm’s to justify it, and I dont have any dedicated WAP’s so OPNSense just isnt worth it for me, though if that ever changes I would definitely consider it.
