g-unzip?

gun-zip

I used this command way before I used gzip so I didn't put it together.

Bailing out. You are on your own. Good luck!

I bet manpower costs are significant as well. How many people are needed to run this thing? You probably need engineers with an esoteric set of skills to put it back together and manage it which would not be cheap.

Edit: I looked it up, it is running SUSE Enterprise Linux, so maybe management isn't as specialized as I expected.

Check out these guys: https://www.linuxserver.io/

https://hub.docker.com/u/linuxserver

They have a pretty good catalog of pre-built Docker containers. You don't have to use their version of things but there is a lot of software that I was previously unaware of that I learned of through them.

I think there are two options personally.

  1. The Windows 11 LTSC version just leaked on Chinese forums. I wouldn't use that ISO but would wait for the official release. Seems like the "best" version of Windows.

  2. Use Chris Titus' WinUtil on a normal install: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil. He has put a lot of effort into this tool and it works great.

If you want to go full try-hard you can do it yourself. Buy NTLite and go to town on stripping stuff out. You'll probably break something but it is fun to play with.

Never used that tool so I can't really say :(

For some reason my DNS tends to break the most. I have to reinstall my Pi-hole semi-regularly.

NixOS plus Docker is my preferred setup for hosting applications. Sometime it is a pain to get running but once it does it tends to run. If a container doesn't work, restart it. If the OS doesn't work, roll it back.

Does it increase your attack surface? Yes. With proper precautions is this level of risk negligible? Also yes.

You will be opening a port to the outside world. Anyone can try to use it. But if you are using key authentication it will be fine.

I've been with Porkbun for over a year now. No complaints.

Setup a virtual desktop on your server and RDP into it to access the web interface. Here is me doing that using my cat as a stand lol.

Under hardware > display there is an option for VirtiO-GPU and VirGL-GPU. I'm not super knowledgeable but I think these options allows VMs to make system calls to the GPU. I put an ancient Quadro in my server and my RDP sessions were noticeably better.

My GPU is quite literally 15 or 16 years old (I pulled it out of an old server that was being trashed). If you aren't going to do heavy graphical work and just want to spruce up your desktop performance then really anything is probably fine.

I think both these options require downloading additional libraries on your Proxmox host to work.

New to Wireguard and VPNs... how exactly should this work?

EDIT: It seems something is causing my wireguard hanshake to fail. I can't find much on this particular error except "try rebooting the wg server". I rebooted everything, and I can't get it to connect unless the clients are already connected to the home wifi....

mikyopii ,
@mikyopii@programming.dev avatar

You have WireGuard installed on your Minecraft server? On every computer? That isn't correct.

Once you are successfully connected to the VPN everything should behave like you are physically within your network even if you aren't. You should connect to your Minecraft server like normal.

The WireGuard iOS/Android app has a part where you can see when your last handshake was. If that isn't happening then you aren't connected.

mikyopii ,
@mikyopii@programming.dev avatar

If everything is correct... yeah it would. If you are using hostnames to connect home then you will probably need to use the FQDN for it to work.

I was in vacation in Brazil and I would work on my server in the United States during my downtime.

It could also mean you didn't pay your phone bill.

mikyopii ,
@mikyopii@programming.dev avatar

I'm not sure. All I know is that Proxmox doesn't recommend using Docker in LXCs. It seems Proxmox has much more control over the internals of the container and can break stuff.

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Linux_Container

If you want to run application containers, for example, Docker images, it is recommended that you run them inside a Proxmox QEMU VM. This will give you all the advantages of application containerization, while also providing the benefits that VMs offer, such as strong isolation from the host and the ability to live-migrate, which otherwise isn’t possible with containers.

My cat has claimed it as his own lol

Mine came from Craigslist. It's perfect for server stuff.

mikyopii OP ,
@mikyopii@programming.dev avatar

I think this model is roughly $1300 brand new. Mine has some cosmetic damage but I still see used KVMs like this on EBay in the high three digit range.

mikyopii OP ,
@mikyopii@programming.dev avatar

If I had to guess it got damaged when transported in a box with hundreds of pounds of old servers stacked on top of it. Some of the other KVMs I saw were in pieces.

@mikyopii@programming.dev avatar

I ran it previously because I came from that world and I just thought that's what you did. I was less Linux-y then. It's really overkill for such a small network but if you want to learn AD then it might be worth it. Personally I hope to never look at AD again but alas I need moneyz.

If you do decide to run it make sure you enable profile caching in group policy, it will prevent you from being locked out when your DC is down. Also if you have laptops you can safely bring them outside your network and they will still be able to log in.
