Why are we running Docker inside LXC? That’s not a wise decision, and is specifically stated as a big “no-no” by both Docker and Proxmox devs.

VMs don’t use as much resources as you realize. I’ve got multiple VMs full of Docker stacks (along with other VMs running various game servers, and several LXCs for various “not set up for Docker” services) spread across three i7-7700T servers; none of them are even close to being taxed.

Proxmox w/VMs for Docker, per your original plan (don’t use Portainer, use “Dockge” instead). You can also use small LXCs for services that aren’t set up for Docker, and Proxmox offers turnkey LXC images to make it that much easier.

Last I checked mine was cleaner, and I won the swordfight

I eat avocado and clean penis all the time and have never found them to be anywhere remotely close to the same flavor.

I showed this meme to my wife, she agrees with you

Any time I buy body wash, I pick a few that I like, then run those by my wife to see which one she likes the most. That’s the one I get.

Go outside, man. Touch grass.

I discovered it a couple weeks ago. Love it.

Use btop, it’s even better

Hell yeah. I don’t normally simp for companies, but I will happily support locally owned alternatives to big, faceless corporations, even if it costs a bit more. Usually.

I pay $89/mo total for symmetrical gigabit via UTOPIA, no monthly cap, and my static IP. I was paying Comcast a hair over $60/mo before this for 400/20 via cable w/1.2TB cap.

Absolutely worth it.

My ISP is a local deal, well-known for protecting privacy, and run by an absolute nerd (in the best way possible, also outspoken about privacy, FOSS, and other such things). Their customer service is second-to-none; I had an issue with my static IP a couple years back, and had an actual engineer on the line within a few hours. On a weekend.

It’s XMission. I dropped Comcast for them once they were in my area. Comcast can climb up a cactus.

spoon fed software

That’s a new one. I like it.

Right, but asking for 2-4 drive bays…

🤔

A PCI-E expansion board full of M.2 NVME drives might do the trick.

I’d argue for something a bit bigger, physically. The Optiplex SFF systems don’t have a whole lot of interior space for hard drives, in fact the 7050 SFF can only handle a single 3.5", a single 2.5", and a single NVME.

I have an older HP Elitedesk 8300 SFF that can handle 3x 3.5" drives, 2x 2.5" drives, and boot from an M.2 NVMe on a PCIE adapter card (I modded the BIOS). But that’s limited to 3rd gen Intel 🫤

I use Planka pretty regularly to track some of my projects. They just pushed out a release candidate for v2 a few weeks ago, which brought some nice features.

Uploaded your mind to the cloud

planning on running a number of docker containers and a couple of vms.

Just FYI, you can probably do ALL of that on a $200 Dell Optiplex 7050 SFF.

Source: my $200 Dell Optiplex 7050 SFF running 3 VMs, 3 LXC containers, and 16 docker containers - not including the multiple containers within the Nextcloud AIO “mastercontainer”. There is plenty of overhead to spare.

Yes, I am painfully aware. Unfortunately, this doesn’t actually help.

Bingo.

And even then it’s difficult to find shit, like for instance, finding the working directory for crontab when run as root. This answer on Stack Exchange is the embodiment of my second example in the other comment. The answers go into great detail, yet still don’t answer the question in any reasonable capacity for a “standard user” like myself.

Man pages tend to assume a lot and overload the user with information.

Forums are full of “duh, haven’t you read the man pages, idiot?” kinds of people.

Web searches are full of AI/garbage (same thing) articles that focus on distros/programs that are either horrendously inaccurate, out of date, or simply don’t exist anymore.

Therefore, I utilize the tldr man pages, and use extremely specific terms for web searches.
