The news app has got a lot of love in the past 6 months, I think it also does podcasts.

There is a mobile app that you can use to collect from nextcloud

I once had to use both remote and local forwarding to update a remote Linux server from my windows laptop, from a virtual machine on my laptop.

You could read the documentation that each link points to, you might need to have console or SSH access to the server

You could start a Lemmy community with the current book in the community info, then use theeads to discuss each book

That’s the point of the template, you change the bits the need change and the bits that are static get templated

I have used both, can tell you that a template file of /etc/iptables/rules.v4 with iptables-persistent is the easiest way.

if you go the full IaC route and have vars for the rules, remember to get iptables to save its state after you have applied your rules

All I can tell you from my decades of Linux use is, the memory management is very odd.

But yes more free memory should help keep things running shooth, if you have the memory leave it as is

That’s how Linux manages it memory, it will use free memory as file cache till it needs it. Then free up memory for process use.

If your only half using the memory for actual services, you may want to reduce it.

Depending on what your server is doing, swap use is normal. But if it’s into swap cuz ram is full, you will find it grinds to a halt.

Use free -mh to see what the memory use is, there is a way to reduce the swapiness if your running a database server and is advised.

yeah, I think so. So nodes are over meshtastic and some are over quux

I didnt know of NNCP either, it looks amazing and super simple to setup. might have to look at how I run a NNCP forwarder to Gmail

you could do that, set the use NNCPNET_NO_NODELIST to 1.

Then your into private node https://salsa.debian.org/jgoerzen/docker-nncpnet-mailnode/-/wikis/configuration#adding-private-nodes

If you have your own domain and your DNS provider has an API, you can get a certificate for anything in your domain

We got an old style phone when we went to see the northern lights

OVH here, both domains, dedi server and a VPS.

Has an API to get an cert you want, even for non internet facing stuff

Yes, but no. There is still a lot of places using old fashioned VMs, my company is still building VMs from an AWS ami and running ansible to install all the stuff we need. Some places will move to containers and that’s great, but containers won’t solve every problem

right tool for the job mate, not everything works great in a container.

Also Proxmox is not legacy as its used a lot in homelabs and also some companys

I use proxmox to carve up my dedicated host with OVH, 3 of the vms run docker anyway.

If you run a single DNS server, you will always have downtime when it’s restarted.

The only way to mitigate that, is to run 2 DNS servers.

I setup my network to use pihole as the first DNS and the router as the second, most of the time pihole is used. Unless it’s down

As a homelabber and systems admin, I would start with learning how to use Linux on the command line.

It’s all well and good looking at docker, but if you don’t know how to move about or edit on the command line. Your going to get stuck real quick.

Once your happy doing simple tasks on the command line, I would actually look at running something like wordpress on a pi or VPS. That will help you understand how to connect services together, and cement your basic command line knowledge.

I moved all my domains from Google to OVH, OVH have an API so you can get certs with certbot. You could also use the API to update records for a dynamic home broadband
