I’m Matt, an aging geek living in Ocala, Florida with my wife, three cats, and a dog.
I love motorcycles, desktop linux and other open source software, and sci-fi.
Woot...
* Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS server is up and running.
* Docker up and running.
* Syncthing up and running via Docker.
Now, off to physical therapy for correction of my self-induced folly, and then off to work.
Tonight I'll continue configuring the home server. Mostly this means reading up more on Docker-Compose, Docker itself, and figuring out how all this actually works, gets updated, etc. The whole container thing is fairly new to me, as a hobbyist.
@ribbit Thanks!
That’s two of you that mentioned GoToSocial. Interesting :)
@mwfc Hey thanks!
I’m going to read up on some of those.
Some I’m familiar with, some not so much. Good stuff!
@virtuous_sloth Thanks, I’ll check both of those out!
I’ve used Calibre a fair amount, but I’m unfamiliar with Calibre Web.
Tomorrow night I'll install Ubuntu server edition for my home server that will be built from a repurposed laptop.
I'm not sure what all it will be doing, just yet. I figure it'll be running an always on syncthing instance and pi-hole, for sure.
What are some other cool things that I should get setup on it?
@codemonkeymike Yeah, it was a really convoluted process, likely made even harder by me.
I mean I'm sure it's neat for someone interested in cryptocurrency, but that's not me. I just wanted to give the guys some money in return for a shoutout :D
I think I'll look into the Jupiter Party thing. I'd rather use a credit card, lol
@codemonkeymike I actually spent last Sunday afternoon figuring out how to set up a bitcoin wallet that I could get money into so I could send a Boost to the show, just so I could call out my favorite flavor of Linux (it was read back on this weeks show, released a few hours ago).
I hope that whole setup with a self-hosted Alby Hub doesn't break, because I'll be damned if I'm going through that again :D

You just can't over state how much these gentleman have done for the #Linux community.
Someone smarter than me will probably say that I should have used a container since I'm on an immutable OS, but once I realized you could install Ruby via brew, and since I'm not a developer, but rather a ham-fisted hack that just wants to play, that was good enough for my purposes 😂
Even "doing" was a simple "brew-gem install doing" to get it up and running.
So, I can have my favorite toys AND I just updated my OS this morning and nothing blew up.
It's like magic.
