I ended up just adapting my composes to run commands, on my desktop I don’t mind having to manually start them at boot, I could easily make a simple thing to just run at boot and just say podman run <container> as most of my containers depend on others so I can just start the child-most container and it’ll start them all. I just have some shenanigans where I use one container as a VPN for the other ones, which is a bit messy if using rootless. I’ll have a look into the links and see if there’s anything new in there I haven’t seen before but yeah, nothing unsolveable I’m just needlessly putting things off lol

I more mean replacing the runtime etc, I’ve got some running on another machine and had some difficulty wrapping my head around the subuid and subgid stuff, so in theory I should be fine but it’s an irrational worry lol

I’m eternally sitting here putting off migrating my homelab from docker to rootless podman due to some rather janky patterns I use. It might be super smooth or it might not so instead I just wait in endless decision paralysis

I think I paid like $5 aud for civ 5 including all SLC, which was my first foray into civ so its definitely given me unrealistic expectations, but meeting even halfway would be way more palatable

The game is also like fkn $120 Australian for the base version. Ain’t nobody got time for that, I’ll give it a look when its comparable in price to the existing titles

I did the opposite and used it as an excuse to upgrade my main PC, with the parts that got replaced being inherited by the new server.

Perhaps an unwise move due to it not being optimised for power savings, and looking at your particular use case it wouldn’t be a smart move.

Depending in where you want to have this NAS, one of the more important factors to consider is how quiet you can make it. If you only have a few HDDs they’re not too loud, but ssds are silent. It can also be worth getting some good fans and making sure you can mount them in a way that doesn’t cause unnecessary vibration to have it be real quiet.

I believe the RAM calculation is less important for ZFS these days. I capped mine at 16GB for 64TiB useable pool and had no issues. (This was zfs on linux which i think Truenas Scale is based off anyway).

Regardless unless the same data is often being accessed the caching aspect may not be that important.

General consensus ive been seeing recently agrees with you that you really can get it running on surprisingly low end hardware these days, and finding less than 8gb of RAM in the ddr4 or 5 era is perhaps difficult enough that my above point is moot

I’ve been meaning to look into Immich for the express purpose of dropping nextcloud. I actually hate nextcloud because its a bloated mess that does many things ok instead of one thing well. I just want to auto backup photos and files from my phone, but the android app sucks and locks within a microsecond of trying to do any kind of multitasking on phone.

I was until earlier this week as it just seemed unstable for me. It was a coin flip whether or not booting would actually work or get stuck at various points of the boot process. Reverted back to EOS and everything is fine again

The rat dogs have it locked on mine, others with exact same SOC have it, which makes me very unhappy

I’m also loving finamp, I keep meaning to try building it on desktop when I have free time, but also keep forgetting

I don’t want to accidentally cache some no-no content that gets me turbofucked by the law, sure I could probably defend if it ever came up but that’s a stress i dont even want the possibility of having in my life

Not hard to push hardware limits, when your hardware is as limited as theirs

they could even sell a VM image as they’ve proven it still runs better virtualised on other machines than it does native on theirs

Or it won’t just work, and there will be likely exactly 0 log files to use for troubleshooting since Event Viewer sucks ass

I’ve tried to tinker with this too and I got caught wondering, is this what they call reverse prime? I wanted to do dgpu as main, but offload browser etc to amdgpu to avoid the whole nvidia not supporting vaapi conundrum

If I was ever going to try immutable, manjaro is the last one I’d try, given their core product seems like an experiment with how often they fuck up their handling of it in various ways

Yeah its a pain now often “can’t do x” actually means “can’t be caught doing x”. Even getting caught sometimes doesn’t mean much

I actually interpreted this as X as in X11 window system and was very confused for a bit

Except that didn’t work
