Super cool! Love the work you've put in and the extension integration is sick. Have you considered adding an archive option to post a link to the internet archive? I'd rather save space on my drives and I want to preserve the websites I use for everyone.

 

I'm working on starting up my first home server which I'm trying to make relatively foolproof and easily recoverable. What is some common maintenance people do to avoid dire problems, including those that accumulate over time, and what are ways to recover a server when issues pop up?

At first, I figured I'd just use debian with some kind of snapshot system and monitor changelogs to update manually when needed, but then I started hearing that immutable distros like microOS and coreOS have some benefits in terms of long term "os drift", security, and recovering from botched updates or conflicts? I don't even know if I'm going to install any native packages, I'm pretty certain every service I want to run has a docker image already, so does it matter? I should also mention, I'm going to use this as a file server with snapraid, so I'm trying to figure out if there will be conflicts to look out for there or with hardware acceleration for video transcoding.

After getting burnt on the unRAID license change and the restriction on security updates, I figured there had to be a simple os that I can essentially set, forget, and easily update when I need, which also uses SnapRAID. I might just try this out.

I do love open source, but hearing "Moodle" aged me like a decade lmao. Also nextcloud for everything? I guess having every tool you need centralized makes sense but I do wonder how well it scales across tens of thousands of people.

Here's to hoping a solid sbc with gpio pins and solid software support shows up as a competitor to keep them in check?

I agree with you, but I still hope for your sake and others that you drive relatively safe and make good driving choices lmao

I know it's been years since they changed this but I'm still upset. But it doesn't change much cause I also just look up everything before I watch it since there's no way in hell I trust companies not to filter reviews lol.
