How do you find dockge over portainer? I tried it but it uses more resources and i couldn’t individually start/stop apps in a stack. It was all or nothing.

I found it too complicated compared to OMV. But it’s a good option.

Any reason why you want to change from OMV. It’s not perfect but my go to media server.

I have a 2015 Lexus. I really want to upgrade but nothing new is as good. Plus everyone has an SUV fetish and I prefer saloons.

The new Toyotas aren’t as reliable as before. Slowly getting worse. Which is a shame.

Debian is good choice. Another option could be open media vault. Which is Debian with a built in web interface.

I really love the idea of Nix. But not a fan of the scripting language.

I do need to test it more.

I do find it hard to update though. I’m not sure if they have released a GUI based interface to make it easier.

I use that and works fine with Windows remote hosts. The issue is Linux remote system doesn’t allow resizing.

When logging into Linux you can log into a new remote session that supports resizing, but if you try to log into the active local session then you can’t resize.

Edge case but Remote Desktop doesn’t work the way I like it.

I like being able to remote connect to my windows PC and it auto resizes the desktop to match the local system. Plus then I can log onto the remote machine directly and it resizes to be correct for the attached monitor.

I haven’t found a Linux that does this.

You can run it on two servers at once. I have WireGuard running on my router (which can’t give full speed) and my server (which can run at full speed). Also running on another machine for fun.

How does it compare to htop? I always found that good.

I need to sync pictures from iPhone to server. What should I use?

I use OpenMediaVault to run something similar. It’s a headless Debian distribution with web based config. Takes a bit of work but I like it.

I wouldn’t say skill issue, more of time issue. You only get a week to implement something. Quicker to use existing libraries than try to optimise yourself.

That’s a bios setting. External GPU should be default unless you’ve changed it.

I get your point but I disagree. I think both Tony Stark and Justin Hammer are more competent than Elon.

Hammer was no where near as good as Tony but he did make some good stuff.

I would say he’s more like Obadiah Stane, an opportunist taking credit for others work.

PFC is in the power supply. The bios doesn’t control it. Only servers may have this control.

Try running some equipment that needs extra load from the UPS. TV? Gaming system? Again could just be an issue with the UPS.

Some systems just need a pure sine wave UPS. Especially high grade server hardware. But test the UPS with other computers, it could just be faulty.

Try Emby. Hardware acceleration works out of the box. It is paid though but I’m very happy with it for past few years.

I have similar setup but without PROXMOX. I tried it but never saw the benefit. Using ZFS for bitrot protection.
