    There are a ton of guides out there, but the problem with open source software is that you can make it as yours as you want so every deployment is different. You would be better off doing some googling on what you want to get to, and asking more specific questions. Everyone in the community loves to help, but we need to know how.

    Is there a guide to set something like this up? I have jellyfin on Ubuntu server and I’d very much like to get something that’s got an interface I can understand.

    Hey I’m kinda struggling to get my stuff self hosted. I set proxmox up and now I don’t know what to do with it :D. Any suggestions?

      Soooo, proxmox is just the base of the ecosystem, it allows you to load a bunch of containers and virtual machines.

      If you’re not sure what you want yo host check this page out.

      https://www.turnkeylinux.org/lxc

      They have a bunch of container templates that are ready to host.

      I’ve been trying to replace could services with self hosted ones for me and my loved ones; these are some of my favorites:

      • Nextcloud: replaces onedrive and dropbox
      • Pangolin: Replaces Cloudflared (a little technical)
      • Jellifin: Locally hosted netflix clone
      • Game server: Awesome multi game server host, I use it to play minecraft with my nephews, has a ton of games you can host
      • Joomla: (or any other CMS) when you mix it with Pangolin, it’s an easy way to host a website
      • Netbird: overlay network manager that allows you to join multiple sites/networks as one LAN, it’s great for off site backups and to play with friends and family without having to host anything
      • Grafana: Monitoring, data analytics and alerts. It’s like task manager but a thousand times better.
      • Yunohost: It’s a one click install user friendly interface to manage web apps.

        P.P.S Do not make a self-hosted password manager your first project. You should expect one of these first projects to absolutely eat shit for reasons you don’t fully understand yet, and having it be your daily-driver password manager would be a hell of a shitty weekend.

    I used to name systems after Star Trek ships, but switched to Farscape characters ages ago. Now I’m doing more practical names based on function.

      At this point I’m just tired of the acronym salad we all tend to deal with at work

      “Wait, was I supposed to bounce CDBWINPROD02 or DBCWINPROD02?”

      Figured if I had a choice I would use more “human” names that allow the servers to have more of a “personality”

      Perse for example has been having an issue with it’s bios and it’s been spending quite a lot of time in the underworld LOL

        God I hate the “stuff as much information into a server name as you can with no separators in all caps” naming conventions…
