I have a single container for docker that runs 95% of services, and a few other containers and VMs for things that aren’t docker, or are windows/osx.

ext4 is the simple easy option, I tend to pick that on systems with lower amounts of RAM since ZFS does need some RAM for itself.

I do have an external USB HDD for backups to be stored on.

OP is using a VPS, not a phone/laptop.

Jellyfin kinda sucks as a music player, it takes so many clicks to navigate and it often sorts music incorrectly, so that’s one reason to use something else.

Without using a domain a reverse proxy doesn’t really make sense to use, since you’re just using direct IP addresses.

No it shouldn’t be, it might take awhile for things to catch up if you changed what you’re hosting on the root domain.

That said it’s much easier to run services on their own subdomains in the future, and leave the root domain only for a website/email if you happen to run those services.

I agree CLI is faster for tasks I do often, but for one-off stuff or rare tasks where I will forget the CLI args, it’s significantly slower having to look up the right commands each time.

I always figured anyone wanting a different shell is probably heavily into Linux to the point that switching it themselves would be fairly trivial.

Is CachyOS a more CLI focused desktop linux? I’m not very familiar with it. Normally on a desktop I avoid the CLI, because the GUI is just easier and faster to use.

Its convenient because your data is stored in the same folder that your docker-compose.yaml file is in, making backups or migrations simpler.

This looks great, I assume it’s pulling bookmarks directly from the filesystem for the browsers so it doesn’t need an extension?

What errors are you getting? Can’t do much without knowing something about why it’s not starting up or is crashing once running.

Tons of comments telling OP to do it differently and almost none actually offering help lol

This can be done entirely client side with a PGP addon for your mail client or browser.

Immich, but it needs the server side running somewhere.

Simple Mobile Tools apps were sold to a different company!

Fossify apps are the replacement.

Its not a local connection if you’re getting this message. You might be in the same network, but for some reason it’s not connecting directly.

Oh gotcha yes it does. Are you on CGNAT with your ISP so you can’t forward ports?

Why does it need to be on a VPS? It seems to work on a home network when I played around with it.

Wireguard if you’re just using it yourself. Many various ways to manage it, and it’s built in to most routers already.

Otherwise Headscale with one of the webUIs would be the closest replacement.

There are some community webUIs for Headscale, headplane in particular looks pretty good: https://headscale.net/stable/ref/integration/web-ui/

I’m not sure otherwise how different the experience would be.

At least it’s honest. I really dislike when linux is presented as a drop in replacement for windows where everything will just work how you’re used to, because it does require re-learning new software and workflows.

Don’t preorder what? The title is missing something lol
