I have 5 20TB HDDs in a RAID array at home, in the real world I get a little over 72 of them. I can lose one disk and have no data loss, though

As for how quickly you fill it up, I'd say that really depends on how much data is redundant and how many backups you want to keep.

What kind of therapy do I go to if I'm in an abusive relationship with my Operating System?

No.

Linux user for a long time, actually. I like Q4OS for myself, it's also Debian based and it puts very little in front of the user to start so I can customize a little more

You want to advertise to me in the OS? Don't charge me $200 for the OS then!!

They don't want to learn how to use their computer all over again. Some people really do prefer the devil they know

It's like back in the day when everyone used Internet Explorer for their web browser. There's little to nothing in the marketplace indicating to them that an alternative exists in the first place, let alone that they could switch to it.

    That book was a warning triumph of the state over the man

    Lot of knowledge to just throw out there, Sundar.

    Let's hope your documentation can handle it, or a whole lot of important stuff is going to take forever to fix if/when it breaks

    CEOs. Name them. Shame them.

    My Proxmox server is called ARCADE and each VM is named after a game. Currently we have:

    • SpyHunter (PiHole and WireGuard VPN)
    • Pacman (Ubuntu Server w/ Dashy, Syncthing, Portainer, and NextCloud inside Docker)
    • MsPacMan (Ubuntu server for failover purposes. Still under construction)
    • CrazyTaxi (Windows Desktop)
    • MissleCommand (Linux Desktop)
    • MonkeyIsland (qBitTorrent)

    I started with the 2D arcade game of course. Both 3D games (SpyHunter and SpyHunter: Nowhere to Run) are solid as well

    I realize I'm preaching to the choir on here, but really has never been a better time to learn Linux

    Gonna be reading into Nixos, this may be the way forward I'm looking for. Thank you both for your responses!

    stardustsystem OP ,
    @stardustsystem@lemmy.world avatar

    Trying not to learn another deployment scheme, but keeping this on the list. Thank you for sharing!

    stardustsystem OP ,
    @stardustsystem@lemmy.world avatar

    The original appeal of the AIO package is that it handles all that for you, but I'm beginning to think this is the only way forward that doesn't break the bank on hosting costs or break the software on update.

    Sincerely appreciate your input!

    Long-term plan is that this will be something my immediate and extended family relies on to securely share family photos and make plans among ourselves, so it absolutely needs to not run SQLite. I made that mistake already and fortunately the only one affected was me.

    Thanks everyone!

    stardustsystem OP ,
    @stardustsystem@lemmy.world avatar

    I tried that first, actually. Gave up on it, perhaps too quickly. I'll give it another peek.

    Thanks for sharing!

    I've only ever used the official repositories, basically followed the install documentation to get the letter. I do management of it through Portainer but that's just a convenience for testing. Once I got the Compose file just right I'd docker up -d inside the folder on the VMs main drive.

    The actual files were saved to a mounted SMB share, and I'm not sure if it's related or not but I also had a media folder mounted as SMB and configured to be shared as External Storage within Nextcloud itself. I keep wondering if the database isn't killing itself trying to read everything in there...

    stardustsystem OP ,
    @stardustsystem@lemmy.world avatar

    I was really just using SMB for convenience sake, one less protocol for me to turn on and configure. I initially thought about NFS but when I realized how little I know about actually securing NFS I decided against it. Though, I suppose that's led me to this point here.

    Trying it stock is exactly what I was thinking, though what folks have said about NixOS makes me think that's going to be the first thing I try.

    Very first experience was NC-Pi, right before that project got canned. Loved it so much I spent a couple hundred on shared hosting and set v24 up there, but I've been trying to move to my homelab because A) One less bill B) I can use the 72TB RAID Array for storage instead of the 30GB storage I paid way too much for.

    Honestly have had great experiences with Portainer so far, with Nextcloud being the only real exception. PiHole, Dashy, an introducer for Syncthing, and StashApp all run without a hitch via Compose files dropped into Portainer. Though I am definitely going to take Docker out of the picture for the next NC install which means taking Portainer out as well.

    stardustsystem OP ,
    @stardustsystem@lemmy.world avatar

    This is very much what messed up my last install. Errors kept telling me that I needed to update file owners to 33:0, despite having done that on every mount point on the Ubuntu server. I even tried updating the ACLs from inside OpenMediaVault, but no dice. In hindsight I'm pretty sure that was stupid but it was already broken at that point and I was trying anything.

    Keeping this in the back pocket in case the NixOS ideas don't work out, thanks for sharing!
