If you’re already using LXC containers why are you stuck with their questionable open-source and ass of a kernel when you can just run LXD/Incus and have a much cleaner experience in a pure Debian system? Boots way faster, fails less and is more open.

Proxmox will eventually kill the free / community version, it’s just a question of time and they don’t offer anything particularly good over what LXD/Incus offers.

Does Incus do virtual networking without having to straight up learn iptables or whatever?

That’s the just one of the things it does. It goes much further as it can create clusters, download, manage and create OS images, run backups and restores, bootstrap things with cloud-init, move containers and VMs between servers (even live sometimes). Another big advantage is the fact that it provides a unified experience to deal with both containers and VMs, no need to learn two different tools / APIs as the same commands and options will be used to manage both. Even profiles defining storage, network resources and other policies can be shared and applied across both containers and VMs.

This was totally expected, even before BCM bought them. This is the same thing we had with CentOS/ReadHat and that will happen with Docker/DockerHub and all the people that moved from CentOS to Ubuntu.

Save yourself time and future headaches and try LXD/Incus instead.

Hello ProxMox here I come!

Proxmox is questionable open-source, performs poorly and will most likely end up burning the free users at some point. Get get yourself into LXC/LXD/Incus that does both containers and VMs, is way more performant and clean and is also available on Debian’s repositories.

Fear no my friend. Get get yourself into LXC/LXD/Incus as it can do both containers and full virtual machines. It is available on Debian’s repositories and is fully and truly open-source.

So… you replaced a property solution by a free one that depends on proprietary components and a proprietary distribution mechanism? Get get yourself into LXC/LXD/Incus (that does both containers and VMs) and is available on Debian’s repositories. Or Podman if you really like the mess that Docker is.

This is the result of the bullshit policies the left and far-left enacted for so long that made things go worse instead of better. Nobody would vote far-right if the left was delivering good results.

I recently tried out Cockpit on top of plain old Debian and it was really nice.

Now you should try LXD: lemmy.world/comment/6507871

Oh yeah True NAS Scale is all fun and games until you find out that the Wireguard container is permanently broken because Debian changed the default interface names years ago and they’re stuck with eth0 and other small but unfixable annoyances like that. To make things worse their container store depends on the charts repository that depends on another thing and 300 more repositories and fixing anything takes years.

TCB13 , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) to selfhosted in New home server: what hypervisor/OS?

Debian as OS; LCX/LXD/Incus for containers and VMs. BTRFS as filesystem. More: lemmy.world/comment/6507871

Well Linux desktop mostly sucks and however says the opposite is full of shit.

Debian might give you a better experience, less bullshit, less bugs…

Reinstall your machine from scratch and never install Docker again.

TCB13 , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) to selfhosted in Uncomplicated firewall rule set for a *arr stack.

I’ll try enabling IPv6 on the pihole, I know at least if I get Ads with it on its not IPv6.

It’s both the IPv4 and IPv6 DHCP… You IPS router has to run DHCP (or similar) for both IP versions.

Both of them will provide your machines with ISP DNS servers / gateway and the machines will bypass your pi-hole. Since most operating systems will prefer to use IPv6 over IPv4 if you enable IPv6 you’ll most likely get ANY ad from any company that runs on IPv6 (most likely everyone).

When it comes to IPv6 it’s game over to the pi-hole if your ISP router doesn’t allow you to set custom IPv6 DNS servers (and set it to your pi-hole IPv6 address).

Anyways, as long as you don’t go into the router ISP and tell it to “forward port X to port Y on pi-hole” you don’t even need a firewall running on pi-hole, as nothing from the public internet will be able to reach it.

If you’re using a VPN on the Pi then you may run a firewall but restrict only to the VPN interface and set it do drop all incoming traffic on that interface unless related to some outgoing connection.
