I had the same experience as many here. Great place to start out and if you don’t need or want more control then it’s perfect. I ended up on unraid and mostly use docker for apps.

Hey siri what month is it

Jesus Christ fellas

I upvoted your comment but man I wouldn’t even take a freebie from Oracle. Just an absolutely rotten company and Larry Ellison is one of the worst humans on the planet.

I’m 3 time zones away from my server and it hasn’t crashed yet after being gone for 3 days. I’m very proud of it.

An acquaintance helped close a deal for a stadium naming rights. It had been a multi year process, the negotiations were crazy, the company deliberated forever trying to decide if this was the best way to increase brand recognition and man that shits expensive.

So like a shit head that thinks he’s funny I started calling the stadium by its sponsor like 3 sponsors ago when I was around them. You could see the anxiety spike when I did it.

Your comment made me think of that. It’s hilarious. They would have had a fucking breakdown if they had heard someone say that out loud.

Anyone tried it?

It looks great but man I hate subscriptions and $80 for a lifetime license is absurd.

Proxmox

Unraid

UniFi

Raspberry Pi

Docker

I don’t have time to respond, but exploring the capabilities of any of those things would be a great place to start.

These are tough buys when we dont know if they’ll work on the new switch.

I just sent em $10. Thanks for posting the link.

SSL Certs were so god awful before certbot that it’s hard to explain now that it’s so easy and free.

Not all of them, no.

This was a long time ago in a different world. I’m an old man now. My job now is coaching soccer and gardening and baking, but thanks for writing that. Hopefully new admins see it.

And it was literally.

It depends on the environment for sure. That was standard at the end of my career but definitely not at the beginning.

No but it’s a good start. The problem is that literally everyone would do it, from directors to the lowest paid people on the job. EVERYBODY does it. We detected and blocked, so then they started hardwire connecting to switches that they saw in offices. We had blocked those, so they started trying to connect to industrial switches out in the factories.

It was maddening.

You would be shocked at the amount of times employees would bring devices into our air gapped network.

Nextcloud borked my Unraid server. Took me forever to find the source of constant lockups. Apart from that, the Nextcloud container took up more of my time than any other part of my server, including the OS.

This was a couple years ago. Maybe things have changed.

My Unraid server is a dream otherwise. Rock solid and 30 containers running smoothly for years and years.

Just another data point.

I used Proxmox for a long time before Unraid, but that’s when getting deep into it was a hobby. Now I just want it to work.

That’s a big number. What’s the use case? Just cause?

The first pc I bought had a Cyrix processor cause I couldn’t afford Intel.

I shorted them hard once. They stayed solvent longer than I could.
