I've realized in years of #selfhosting that #linux philosophy "everything is a file" fits good for me. I try not to #selfhost complex systems rather than share docs, music, pass-db, etc across my devices via #syncthing. This simplifies things so much. It's easier to backup and you can peek soft that you like, and you depend less from "yet another" #homelab architecture change. Now I'm moving my tasks from #webdav to my notes folder. Will see it works
@yehor @hetzner not sure if it would work better, but Hetzner has StorageBox (it's missing S3, but has other protocols)
@benny that's probably all that "AI" stuff during face recognition. But might be just indexing as well..
@lostinok.com welcome down to a rabbit hole
@terracitra Proxmox is a Debian based hypervisor. It means that it would be preferably used for a virtual machines where docker could be running. Proxmox adds another "abstraction" layer. So you can cut host drives, create subnetworks and so on. I'd say if your HW has at least 6 cores and 16GB of RAM - give Proxmox a try. It's not so complicated for the beginners and gives some advantages
@forteller running #CalyxOS but it's on pause for now. It was really easy to install via their installer.

my #selfhosting started with #PiHole at the end of 2019 when I bought fresh #RaspberryPI 4.

In the next few years there was a lot of different #homelab setups (I'd say around 8-10 "servers").

At 2022 I've tried #Ansible and it was impressive. Pet-project helped a lot with servers maintenance.

Currently I've switched to #NixOS and there is another personal project for that. As server acts my "old" laptop with i7-8750H/32GB/256GB+256GB and Synology DS220j as NFS (4TB+4TB in mirror)
