Yup, it works great. I actually did it myself when migrating from a centos to debian host. Worked first try, no issues (except one thing that was already broken but I didn’t know because I hadn’t accessed it recently). Containers are great for this.

This. Cloud-init, or autoinstall for Ubuntu, to get the install done, then use ansible for anything more.

Bind mounts. I’ve never bothered to figure out named volumes, since I often work with the contents outside Docker. Then I just back up the whole proxmox VM. (Yes I’m aware proxmox supports containers, no I don’t plan to convert, that’s more time and effort for no meaningful gain to me.)

You can restore that backup to a new VM. I just make sure it boots and I can access the files. Turn off networking before you boot it so that it doesn’t cause conflicts.

Yes, but I wouldn’t bother bringing it up to them. It’s fine if they want to provide it under multiple licenses. Since they make it available under the GPL, you can do those things under that license.

If they do change something, it will probably be to change the license away from GPL.

Being a YouTube personality is enough justification for me.

The issue is not encryption, it’s the unauthenticated API. People can interact with your server without an account.

Apparently I can’t read

Loops?

The DJ is the artist. Each set is an album with one track. What’s broken about that?

Jellyfin should be fine. Why do you say it breaks it?

Yes, you can convert RAID1 to 10. At least in theory, your controller has to support it. Check the system documentation. TrueNAS ought to.

But gradual upgrades in general are rarely supported. The recommendation is always to do a complete array replacement.

Don’t put important stuff in /tmp. Put it in /opt or something.

Why GitHub? The installers are literally on the Thunderbird site https://www.thunderbird.net/

Thunderbird runs on Windows.

If you use the ISP one, you’ll rapidly find you can’t configure it to do what you want. Run your own, lock it down, and keep it up to date.

The apps you list need decent gpu and gpu doesn’t virtualize well.

That’s not really true any more. To actually get it working, especially sharing a GPU between multiple VMs, is finicky, especially if you’re not using the very narrow supported configuration and expensive enterprise hypervisor features. But it is possible, and you can find plenty of articles from people who have gotten it working.

But I still wouldn’t recommend it. I’d give one whole GPU to one VM with PCI passthrough, and let multiple users remote in. Hopefully the apps support that.

Depends on how you want to define “securely”. A sufficiently motivated attacker could attack the remaining encrypted data, either through brute force or exploiting a weakness in the algorithm.

Students, as in you’re a teacher? Talk with your school’s IT department first.

No idea, you’re the one that bought it. I did the same thing for a few years and never bought a plex pass.

What we should be asking is why “selling a product” is no longer a business model.

Because they’re not selling a product, they’re selling an ongoing service. They run the relay servers, and those cost money every month.
