The future is now, old man

It’s still bad, and the foundation keeps digging itself into a deeper and deeper hole. Dead project.

A fresh Debian container uses 22 MiB of RAM. A fresh debian VM uses 200+ MiB of RAM.
A VM has to translate every single hardware interaction, a container doesn’t.

I don’t want to fuck flies about the definition of ‘huge’ with you, but that’s kind of a huge difference.

Correct.

Side note- people will tell you not to put dockers in an LXC but fuck em. I don’t want to pollute my hypervisor with docker’s bullshit and the performance impact is negligeable.

I recommend you use containers instead of VMs when possible, as VMs have a huge overhead by comparison, but yes. Each service gets its own container, unless 2 services need to share data. My music container, for example, is host to both Gonic, slskd and Samba.

osm? I’m not sure what you’re looking for.

I absolutely respect rawdogging your website with just an IP

They use some of the same kernel functions but they are not the same. They are not comparable. LXCs are used to host a whole separate system that shares kernel with its host, docker is used to bundle external requirements and configs for a piece of software for ease of downstream setup. Docker is portable, LXCs much less so.

LXCs are not comparable to Docker, they do different things.

I can feel a brain aneurysm edging closer when I try to read this so I’ll take your word for it

Apparently. Can you show me?

It is run by Luke Smith, but is he a white supremacist? I know 4chan likes him, but I watched him for a long time and I didn’t catch any explicit vibes.

As you want to do multiple different things, I recommend you install a hypervisor on the laptop, such as Proxmox. It’ll make it easier for you, as a non-programmer, to manage containers and virtual machines.

You will have to deal some high level networking concepts regardless of what level of self-hosting you do, so you should familarize yourself with it. IP addresses, ports, basic firewalling, etc.

I won’t stop you, but I will strongly discourage you from trying to host your own Email. It is a complicated mess of new standards stacked on top of ancient standards and it’s miserable to work with even when it works. If you misconfigure your email server, you’ll get blocked by every major email provider and there’s no way back from that except starting over with a whole new IP and domain.

So what do you want to do? What need are you trying to fill?

Take a few steps back and ask yourself what needs you’re trying to fill. I never heard of Yunohost before, but it sounds high-level and abstract. Are you a programmer? Are you familiar with Linux? Are you comfortable in a terminal? Are you familiar with networking?

Find out what you want to do before installing “everything and the kitchen sink” solutions.

I don’t give a shit

don’t be fooled by platforms that on the surface look good.

But it didn’t look good on the surface. I’m sorry you fell for it, but the warning signs were there.

Thank you.
It is strange to me that the developers themselves would tell me that this wouldn’t work, and that folder browsing requires Navidrome to support it inherently for clients to be able to do it.

Yes, can you please demonstrate that it works?
