I appreciate that mentality though. When things break, if your understanding of your setup is there, it’s less to deal with.

I am forgoing the Portainer route this time. I am going to strictly use Docker Compose for my containers. I had too many issues with Portainer to consider using it.

For reverse proxy, I just need/want it for simple ip:port to sub.domain.lan type addresses locally. Anything I need outside of my home will be tunneled through wireguard.

I always quite liked Dozzle. It was handy, and has helped me comb through logs in the past.

I think Traefik is going to be what I investigate using. However the last time I tried, I was a little lost. I will have to comb over the documentation better this time.

That is good advice, and honestly never really occurred to me to set specific versions for containers.

I will likely dabble with Logseq.

I used NGINX Proxy Manager for a while, then had some issues that ultimately killed my homelab setup, so not sure that I want to go down that route again, or if I want to investigate Caddy, Traefik, or another.

I think I am going down the docker compose route. When I started using docker, I didn’t use compose, however, now I plan to. Though, Ansible has been on my list of things to learn, as well as nixOS.

Thank you for the suggestion. The fact that it’s FOSS wins my vote. I have been trying to go all open source where possible.

I think I need to utilize this strategy because I get lazy and don’t update external documentation.

I really should spend time familiarizing with maintaining a git repo. I’ll likely find one I can self host.

I have looked at Obsidian, it looks nice, but the closed source part is why I can’t personally use it. Though, from discussions I have seen Logseq be thrown out when talking about similar software.

The wiki idea is a good one. The way to handle that is to have the wiki backed up incrementally.

I can see two sides to this:

Removable batteries are great, if you want longevity for a phone, and don’t mind sacrificing water resistance.

On the other side of the coin:

Removable batteries have more potential to lower water resistance ratings.

I think more manufacturers should give the choice of a model with a removable battery.

“Verizon agrees that the FCC should consider the merits and trade-offs of handset unlocking requirements,” Verizon spokesperson Rich Young told The Register, though that support is conditional.

Screw verizon with an acid covered cactus. What possible “merits” are there to locking a device down for anyone but the companies selling the phones? Rich Young can go kick rocks.

I will not buy a phone through a carrier, I will not buy a phone with a locked bootloader. Period.

I am done with anticonsumer bullshit.

You should go another level deeper, VirtualBox > Windows > WSL > Waydroid > Lindroid

I have seen the likes of similar, like Andronix but I typically don’t want to buy into proprietary software where possible. Thank you for sharing!

All good!

In this specific github entry it mentions flashing, and with my setup, I would prefer not to flash something onto my phone without some sort of backup.

Unless there is a userland app I can install that I seem to be missing.

This interests me greatly. I would like to try this on a device, but I don’t have an extra I can spare to do so.

Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you don’t have anything to say.

Not that I have the knowledge, experience, or tools to really tinker with this; but I do look forward to what others may do with this!

Please elaborate on how this is “ironic”

By offering this as a bonus doesn’t take away the offline installers and DRM Free content you buy from them.

It isn’t being forced, and it isn’t costing extra, so what’s the issue?

Avoid any machine with an Nvidia graphics card for Linux. It’s more hassle than it’s worth. Source: my experience.

However, I have good luck with most laptops that have Intel integrated graphics. Specifically Lenovo machines. I am not exactly sure what budget you have, but you can get a second hand Lenovo machine that would work quite well.

If you don’t care about it being fully open source/libre, then from my experience you likely won’t have much issue with Wifi either.

As far as what you are wanting to use it for, you could get away with something fairly low powered. Depending on your preferences, I would suggest a number of distros for that purpose:

Fedora, it’s been a good distro in my experience. They offer different spins of it with different desktop environments. I personally love KDE, but you could go with Gnome too.

As far as hardware goes, if you are unsure about a machine being usable with linux, I would check here: https://linux-hardware.org/

Hope this helps!
