At workplace, use whatever OS and tools allowed by company policy.

At home, use whatever OS and tools you like.

At least that is how I’m managing it.

Isn’t Podman rootless by default, unlike docker?

All the countries need to use ‘Open sourced’ product, IMO.

Thanks a lot :)

From developers point of view, maintaining one codebase that works across OSs is better than maintaining OS specific multiple codebases.

Nice. After Bilbogram was discontinued, I believe we all were waiting for an replacement.

WTF!! How!!

I had to sell my kidney to buy one RAM yesterday /s

If you are hosting your own videos then you really don’t need to spend that much money on storage.

Note that if you are self hosting then you can control who can use it (only by you and/or other people).

If you are allowing other people to upload their video, then yes, storage is going to be a problem.

Solving this issue is not trivial

Self-hosting?

Ubuntu 25.10 + Wayland + Gnome 49 + Nvidia driver v580.95 (RTX 3070 Ti) works flawlessly for both gaming and normal apps.

I think it is a Nitter instance.

Anything other than rolling release, as stability matters more when you are dealing with server setup. So, Ubuntu LTS, Debian should be good fit.

My 12 years old Alienware M14x R2 [1] is doing great as a homelab. I have the following services running on rootless docker container:

1. Nextcloud AIO
2. Element
3. AdguardHome
4. Jellyfin
5. SearxNG
6. Vaultwarden
7. … and few other services as well

So far, I managed to utilized around ~6 GB out 16 GB RAM. Throughput wise, it is doing great (over LAN and over Tailscale).

If you have any old laptop unutilized, you may try to repurpose it as one of your homelabs.

You are most likely using Cloudflared together with pi-Hole.

You may want to check-out AdGuardHome (open source) which has out-of-the-box DOH support.

Ubuntu Core OS for Gaming!!! WTF!

I’m running SearxNG as rootless docker container on my homelab for nearly 2 years now. I have connected it to Internet via VPN.

Wish I can say the same about Nvidia Linux driver 😭

Use a reverse proxy like Traefik to access your services via subdomain like paperless.yourdomain.com.

The advantage of that approach is you will be connected to Traefik on port either 443 or 80 (based on your Traefik setup). Most firewall will allow connection to port 443 or 80.
