Aurora, its fedora kinoite (atomic w/ KDE) with some extra desktop stuff and regular flathub flatpaks.

VoxeLibre is a survival sandbox game for Luanti.

lol who is suggesting boycotting foss projects?

Haha, you’re not wrong about it seeming a little extra to get installed.

I used coreos live ISO and coreos-installer with the ignition file produced from a ucore-autorebase.butane file. I lightly edited the example butane file with the ssh keys I wanted to use, password hash, and “ucore-minimal:stable-nvidia” since I’ve got an old 1060 gpu in the server for jellyfin.

proxmox is awesome, but i dont think its a right fit for what you’re looking to do. if you just want to run a few podman containers, I’d probably go with a server os that is geared towards containers.

check out fedora’s coreOS or maybe ucore from the universal blue project. it seems like they’re both good candidates for podman. i think opensuse has a similar offering in microOS.

i recently migrated containers from an older Ubuntu server running docker to a ucore server with mainly rootless podman containers. i think I prefer ucore as updates are automated, reboots are scheduled for off hours, and the podman containers are kept updated by systemd service. and cockpit comes on the os image container, so i can poke stuff on a webpage too I guess.

ah I missed that part.

why not just NFS or smb in a tailscale network?

ah you may need to make sure the pods are added to the network. i specified the network in the .pod quadlet.

im kinda digging the podman network setup as I dont have to map a bunch of port 80s to ports on the host and keep track of them. i can just tell the proxy whatever service is running on http://{container_name}:80. that is, after I found out I needed to make a new podman network because the default “podman” network doesn’t do DNS lol.

i too am on the docker to podman quadlet train! i switched from a ubuntu server running docker to a pretty stock ucore server with podman.

i put all my containers in a podman network. im using nginx proxy manager with inside ports 80, 81, and 443 mapped to 9080, 9081, and 9443 to keep the container rootless. i have the firewall configured witn port forwarding 80, 81, and 443 back to 9080, 9081, and 9443.

ucore is from the universal blue project and based on fedora’s coreos, so it comes with firewalld instead of ufw.

ive been using heliboard for a while now. no complaints.

i dont have Netflix

i have a debian box with kde bigscreen and have been quite pleased. kodi with the jellyfin plugin worked ok, but i ran into some playback issues with select videos and ended up just using the jellyfin desktop app. apps in general kinda lack, but you can setup firefox/chromium “apps” for different streaming services and youtube.

I think openvpn works completely fine for most use cases and didn’t have any trouble with it at all. I did however switch to wireguard on my gateway and I get a little better throughput compared to openvpn. That being said, I’m also using a pfsense box as my home gateway, so access to internal services has been easy as general routing gets.

Lol, an ole twist of the arm aye?

Looks good!

HA = High-Availability

But I think OP meant Home Assistant

Can you list the devices you have and what you want each one to be doing?

I like proxmox, but it kinda sounds like you’d be just fine with just docker running on opensuse or debian. Or whichever the favorite container is these days (idk why podman is so great, but I seent some posts about people that love it.)

I have tiered out my server with all my app services (jellyfin, nextcloud, etc) running in docker on a debian vm, then have lxc containers for nfs, VPN, etc. Proxmox itself handles ZFS, but I’m sure that’s bad practice and there is probably a better way - but it works for me so 🤷.

I’ve also got a opnsense vm, but not used for any “production” atm; just checking it out to see if I should switch my pfsense box over.

lol I mean it’s not raid per se

Permit vlan subnet, deny everything else?

It must be exhausting being offended by food
