Not my curent project, that's getting my #FreedomBox with #Nextcloud up and running, but my next project will be getting my Potato running with a distro of Linux. I call it a Potato as it's a '17 Windows Tablet. A low end one at that. Weird Intel processor and 1GB of RAM. Right now it's looking like it will be #Q4OS, #PuppyLinux, or #LinuxLite. We'll see! I've got them all downloaded.

I like that Q4OS installs from within Windows and leaves a dual boot. I do want to keep it as I'm not 100% sure my printer still works with Linux. So if the Potato becomes the Printer Runner, that's fine. But I'd like to be able to connect it to the internet.

That said, Puppy living in external media with persistence is nice. I could put it on the SD card and leave it there. Void Puppy has a pretty nice feel to it too.

I haven't tried Linux Lite at all yet, but it being Xfice puts it low on my list. Do not care for that GUI. Sorry Xfce people.

So I've got #FreedomBox running on top of #Debian with #Gnome. This is what I wanted in the first place. Though now I'm back at the place where I fucked up Yuno Host. Trying to change where #Nextcloud saves data to from sda to sdb. That seems(?) to need to be done in Debian rather than from the Freedombox UI, and since I'm not on that atm, I'm done for the night.

Also, sleepy.

Still, I'm feeling good about this.

Okay, #ProxMox is a huge pain in the ass and complains if you don't use the subscription update files.

On to trying #FreedomBox. It says it can be installed on Debian. Is that the base terminal, or can I have the gnome GUI?

#Debian #Linux #TourmaLinux

Yeah...

I think I'm giving up on this install of Yuno Host. Too many things have gone wrong during my leading bash etc.

A friend wants me to try Proxmox, so I'll do that. Another potential one is Freedombox.

So we'll see.

I'd love if there was one that sat on top of a regular distro of Linux with a GUI. I think that'd really help me. Haven't found one yet though.

Hmmmm.... #debia #freedombox 🤔
@Signalrauschen das ist schade. Ich konnte Freunde und Familie überzeugen zusätzlich Conversations, zu installieren. Und das funktioniert seit mehreren Jahren sehr gut. Mit Hilfe einer #freedombox ist sogar das Betreiben eines eigenen Servers relativ einfach.
@weekendspy Thanks for this interesting post about an important issue. My #degoogle solution was a #freedombox #homelab server running #nextcloud
@lukasrotermund Then you know a lot more than me. I have installed Debian with #Freedombox and used the web interface (called plinth) to activate postfix/dovecot and added in the DNS what it told me to. It has been working fine for two years, apart from two or three manual reboot of my rockpro64.
