Dope little setup. Love the BIOS sticker.

I’ve fiddled around with a few models on ollama and opencode but more for the sake of seeing what I can run as ive yet to really find a use for it in my home usage.

Oh I was suggesting a the free standalone hyper v server MS did but I just searched for it and it looks like they killed it off recently which sucks. Was probably the best MS os going.

Verily. Especially after working with heavily windows/MS environments for a decade and change. Intune makes my blood boil.

Always. Started on windows hypervisors and windows as they were relevant to my work and I was trying to skill up at the time. Since moved to a Linux stack as the lab grew in scope and my distaste for MS grew as well.

Hyper-v server can get pretty damn lightwieght as it ships without a GUI

They’re an Israeli company so they’re included by default. I think they just get their own entry as they a decently large organisation.

I’ve used rocky Linux on a couple of boxes and it’s been very good to me though I’ve since rationalised everything to Debian for the sake of simplifying my setup.

My go to is sticking what I can in my profile and making aliased commands for them all. Don’t have many for Linux quite yet but my PS profile is lapsed with dozens of these.

Opentofu for all the looking after the config on my proxmox boxes and networking gear. Ansible for everything else.

I don’t currently have any monitoring set up but it’s in the to do list when I feel like it.

Buy a UPS and setup a NUT server on the spare raspberry pi you have lying around.

Yeah that’s a perfectly good setup and very similar to the one I use. Personally I’d stick with truenas for my software in the NAS as its perfectly good for file shares.

For getting the shares mounted on your LXCs you’ll need to use the proxmox CLI to add your shares as mount points as I don’t think the UI let’s you do it from memory though thatay have changed as I’ve not poked that part of my setup for a while.

As someone not too fussed with screen share I’m personally still very happy with mumble because as you said its got the best voice quality of any derive I’ve tried.

If you’re adding a proton wouldn’t it be fusion? Which also releases a bucket load of energy.

Penguins are a Christmas animal because they’re all catholic.

For once I’m hoping In Betteridge is wrong on this one.

Oh I’m fully aware I’m just to lazy to set up jellyfin and navidrome quite yet.

I’d strongly recommend reverse proxy, some sort of security like crowd sec or fail2ban and sperate auth (authelia, aithentik) in front of anything you’re opening to the internet. Just opening services directly up to the internet is choice I’d politely describe as brave.

Sure but this won’t work if you’re accessing services outside your network like OP is doing. You’re going to need publicly available DNS records somewhere to do that.

I don’t believe pihole functions as an authorative DNS server though. Something like technetium does and they could be used as the nameservers for a domain while still offering all the same adblocking functionality that pihole does.

Though pihole could work of you were relying on a VPN to access your stuff remotely.
