what you are asking for doesn’t really make sense.

a display manager is for running when no user is logged in. its purpose is to log in and start your session. thats why they can’t show a desktop as a background because ot isn’t running yet. once you log in the display manager quits because its job is done.

What does this have to do with self-hosting?

Don’t worry, I’m not here to claim you don’t have issues

Nice try MSBot, this hasn’t been the case for a long time

I haven’t experienced any connection drops on wifi and I haven’t noticed any slowdowns. To be fair, I haven’t done any load testing. I’m traveling now but I can do some testing when I’m back next week.

They are based on different kernels and what I can tell you is that I tried a few distros and either or both the trackpad and wifi were not working.

LMDE was the first distro I tried that just worked. I didn’t try the mainline Mint first because I like debian. I’m running enlightenment as my desktop and terminology as my terminal.

lspci says I have a BCM4360 (rev 03). I can tell its loading a 3rd party driver because I see a warning about it tainting the kernel in my dmesg output.

Note that I’m not running regular Linux Mint, but LMDE which is Linux Mint based on plain Debian instead of Ubuntu. Both are available on the Linux Mint site.

I have a 2013 i7 Macbook Air and everything “just works” with the latest Linux Mint Debian Edition, including wifi and both usb ethernet and thunderbolt ethernet.

anyone who is serious about data security would laugh at this

my current company does live code design challenges instead of straigt codong exercises. seems to work well

I picked up a Denon DNP-730AE network audio player on ebay and I run Tiny-DLNA on my server where the music files and playlists are stored.

Works great and sounds great.

Yes its CLI based

You can do this easily with Tailscale or a similar wiregaurd vpn.

It is easier than you think.

I never said how easy I think it is so what are you basing this response on?

I wouldn’t even think about charging anyone for anything until you get it all setup and dialed in with backups, etc and are sure you know how to keep the service running.

Then write a howto instead of asking here. That shouldn’t take much.

How so? if I compromise a containerized app I get all the data that app has access to.

From a security standpoint, each and every container running actually increases the potential attack surface.

Keeping containers up to date for security and bugfixes is just as important as OS packages.
