Thinking more about it, If you just want to host and not mess around like I do, I would use your current computer, install Docker on it and see how you like it. Host a example website see if you can get it to work, Try a Minecraft server and see if it works… If that’s not for you then you can try VMs with an entire OS. This will be a lot more overhead but it will also work.

After you know what you like (Docker containers or an entire VM), I’d design what you want to do. Are you going to have a lot of people on your Jellyfin and Minecraft servers? how much RAM, CPU, Storage do they use?

Once you have that information, Look at prices, Do you want one big PC and will it do everything you want? If you need to buy several, maybe it’s better to get a bunch of small ones?

If it’s one big PC then you’re done. Get it, install Docker/VM and go.

If you want to play around or you need to get many PCs, do you want to cluster them so Minecraft server can move to a different PC if that PC fails? then do Swarm or K3s if you’re okay with docker.

If you need to do small PCs, maybe you install Docker normally on each and manage them separately.

In the end it’s totally up to you what you do. I use K8s :)

I’ve never actually used swarm so I could be wrong. However, I was under the impression that Docker swarm is a lot easier to use with a lot more examples for people to deploy their Containers.

With K8s/K3s I find myself translating a lot of docker examples into deployment yamls with Services, Network Policies, PVCs, secrets, etc, etc. It’s just a lot more lines in the .yml files. This also assumes you know that anything that you run in docker you can run in K8s with 1 replica and more is not ideal.

Yeah, so you have more than one PC and they will talk to each other and decide who hosts what.

For example, you host nextcloud and the cluster will decide (unless you tell it differently) it goes to PC1. Then you host Minecraft and the cluster will put it on PC2.

Now, PC2 dies, you unplug it, or generally something bad happens. The cluster will see that Minecraft isn’t running, PC2 is down, and start Minecraft on PC1. The best part, just keep adding cheap computers as you need more compute power. One container (Plex,emby,etc) can not run on two or more computers. If you need to transcoded then you’ll want one with a GPU or a more powerful CPU depending on how many people will use the service.

This all assumes you’re not using local data. Meaning if the Minecraft save and config files are on PC2 and it dies, starting it on PC1 will either not work or be 100% new. There’s other self hosted software to replicate the data to more than one computer or you can have a NAS of some sort.

It’s a bit more advanced but a lot of fun if you enjoy that kind of thing. It allows you to work on your stuff with minimal downtime. Of

I have 3 raspberry PIs, 4 various lenovo tiny PCs all in a kubernetes cluster and it seems I need more RAM than CPU. Storage is on a DIY NAS with 8*8TB disks in a raid 6.

I run bookstack, nextcloud, 2007scape, gitea, synapse, the *are stack, Plex, and a bunch of other things.

If I was just starting out I’d grab a used lenovo tiny or two, set up a docker cluster and play with that. There is software to replicate local storage across nodes that I’ve never touched but I’d try out a few of them also if you don’t want to use a NAS. Worst case, just use local storage and the containers will be locked to that host.

I think Proxmox let’s you run VMs and Containers too if you prefer that route.

With tuta, I was locked into using their apps which kind of sucked. I moved to mailbox.org with the intent of encrypting my inbox but never did in the end. I’m happy to have IMAP/SNMP back that’s for sure.

Edit to add: been with mailbox.org 2 years and they’ve never tried to up sell me. Each Christmas I get a coupon or something to invite someone but I’ve never used it.

Linux Sysadmin here.

I have a couple open source apps/scripts that have tens of stars and ones of forks. I’m also getting into micro soldering to fix electronics. Mostly for myself but I’ll hardmod or fix friends equipment for cost of parts. I’ve been known to buy a broken console, fix it, mod it, then sell it for some extra cash to buy more soldering equipment.

lemmyshitpost on lemmy.world currently has a mod from startrek.website. Not sure if that means you can create it but it seems that you can at least be listed as a mod.

I’d support it because criminals shouldn’t be rewarded for their actions. If they are, more people would do it and now It’ll cost even more to stop everyone from doing it.

Used F-Droid to download aurora store (open source client for the play store) and used Aurora for waterfox…

I’m trying out waterfox for mobile and librewolf for desktop. No complaints so far

Can you explain a bit more? Any resources I can read up on?

From what I’ve read, the keys rotate every 6 seconds so you’ll need to find a reliable, low latency source that will allow you access. Aside from that I haven’t found much in the way of required equipment or providers as everyone is talking about IPTV these days.

Isn’t IPTV shit for sports or really anything popular? I’ve read there’s a tonne of buffering and quality problems… I dont watch sports but I have family and friends looking for a solution and ask me because they’re on my Plex server.

Personally the *arr stack is perfect for what I do. When I want to watch something I’ll scroll through the recently added and pick something.

My phone and YouTube are in French, everything else is in English. No idea why YouTube (and only YouTube, not google, gmail, etc) is French, one day it was and I’ve never put in the effort to change it.

Native English speaker also.

I don’t think I’ll ever sub to IPTV because of the community around it. I miss the days of setting up your own satellite dish and downloading the decryption keys.

They’ll leave a message if it’s important.

I’ve been using a self hosted server for 5+ years now without any issue. I’m not in many huge rooms and mainly use it for 1:1 chats but its been solid for me.

Your friend should find a better, more lazy way to transfer files. People have commented about some and there is lots more.

I’d bet they’re going after the big group chats of people sharing illegal material, not so much private chats.

It… Kind of sucks… I don’t think I’ll even bother to open my physical copy when it arrives.

I think the idea is neat to echo monsters but to have that be my main attack, it’s not fun for me.

In case you didn’t see it, someone commented where it is.
