atzanteol , to linux in Suggestions for filesystem.

NTFS has never been well supported on Linux. Any native filesystem will be fine.

atzanteol , to selfhosted in What Calendar and To Do solution do you recommend?

I love todo-txt! As a heavy cli user it’s the quickest and easiest to use todo “system” I’ve found.

I’m not terribly familiar with distrobox unfortunately. If it’s a front end for podman then you can probably use the podman commands to clean up after it? Not sure if that’s the “correct” way to do it though.

Navigating the various things podman/docker allocate can be a bit annoying. The cli tools don’t make it terribly obvious either.

You can try using docker volume rm name to remove them. It may tell you they’re in use and then you’ll need to find the container using them.

That’s a long way from “not being well maintained.”

Aha! Looks like it is podman then.

So - there are a few different types of resources podman manages.

  • containers - These are instances of an image and the thing that “runs”. podman container ls
  • images - These are disk images (actually multiple but don’t worry about that) that are used to run a container. podman image ls
  • volumes - These are persistent storage that can be used between runs for containers since they are often ephemeral. podman volume ls

When you do a “prune” it only removes resources that aren’t in use. It could be that you have some container that references a volume that keeps it around. Maybe there’s a process that spins up and runs the container on a schedule, dunno. The above podman commands might help find a name of something that can be helpful.

Those aren’t the only containers. It could be containrd, lxc, etc.

One thing that might help track it down could be running sudo lsof | grep ‘/var/tmp’. If any of those files are currently opened it should list the process that hold the file handle.

“lsof” is “list open files”. Run without parameters it just lists everything.

My guess is that you’re using some other form of containers then, there are several. It’s a common practice with immutable distros though I don’t know much about bazzite itself.

Are these files large? Are they causing a problem? Growing without end? Or just “sitting there” and you’re wondering why?

Don’t do this… It’s a stupid idea.

Give this a go:


<span style="color:#323232;">podman system prune
</span>

See if it frees up any space. But it does seem like you’re running containers (which makes sense given you’re on an immutable distro) so I would expect to be using lots of temporary space for container images.

Pop_OS is currently not that well maintained afaik, their GNOME desktop is quite outdated

The shit people say in here sometimes…

What?

atzanteol , to selfhosted in Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP

To provide a bit more detail then - you would setup your proxy with DNS entries “foo.example.com” as well as “bar.example.com” and whatever other sub-domains you want pointing to it. So your single IP address has multiple domain names.

Then your web browser connects to the proxy and makes a request to that server that looks like this:


<span style="color:#323232;">GET / HTTP/1.1
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Host: foo.example.com
</span>

nginx (or apache, or other reverse proxies) will then know that the request is specifically for “foo.example.com” even though they all point to the same computer. It then forwards the request to whatever you want on your own network and acts as a go-between between the browser and your service. This is often called something like host-based routing or virtual-hosts.

In this scenario the proxy is also the SSL endpoint and would be configured with HTTPS and a certificate that verifies that it is the source for foo.example.com, bar.example.com, etc.

atzanteol , to selfhosted in Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP

Nginx isn’t for security it’s to allow hostname-based proxying so that your single IP address can serve multiple backend services.

atzanteol , to selfhosted in Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP

You’re not “broadcasting” anything. You’re running a server.

Your browser is the thing sending your ip to every site you visit. And beyond simple geolocation data it’s not that useful to anybody.
