This is also how I have it set up, with "firefox multi-account containers" and "simple tab groups" working together, you can have multiple containerized accounts within one firefox instance. Works great!

At this point I am seriously wondering why people would like to use Chrome over Firefox for instance.

This is from the Blues Brothers movie from 1980.

AMD published a list with the mitigation on Sinkclose on all their processor ranges, and the ComboPI version that will have a patch:

Use of hardware enablement package kernel might help here? It is called linux-generic-hwe or something like that. It will install a much newer kernel with more support for newer hardware.

You can easily selfhost Seafile and make a ‘dropbox’ like system with as many users you like, and as large a storage you can handle / afford. Although there is an enterprise version, the community edition provides with many features to make it really a great service. It is mighty fast, and has native clients for many different platforms, in addition to using the Seafile website to acces, upload and download files.

I never hosted Nextcloud, but from what I read, it is a beast with way too many features to fit my use case. Seafile is doing one thing very well.

We have to speed up technology so that it outpaces us humans getting older!

Ah, that is a good point. I am using 6.5.0 kernel atm, as part of the HWE (hardware enablement) package, which supports QuckSync / hardware encoding of my 12th gen intel processor. I did a quick search, but did not find HWE for Debian is that correct?

Yes, I am running unattended-upgrades, and basically my current server is running 24/7 just fine! It is indeed like set and forget already. More reason to move to Debian!

[-] faethon@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

It seems to be the most logical move to go from Ubuntu to Debian indeed. As I understand it maintains the core Linux system as I have it now (systemd / apt / stable kernel) while truly community driven. I have to look into transitioning into the latest stable Debian release.

So I have been running a fair amount of selfhosted services over the last decade or so. I have always been running this on a Ubuntu LTS distribution running on a intel NUC machine. Most, if not all of my services run in a docker container, and using a docker compose file that brings everything up. The server is headless. I connect over ssh into a tmux config so I am always ready to go.

Ubuntu has been my stable server choice over the years. I've made the upgrade from 16, 18, 20 and 22 LTS release and everything has kept working. I even upgraded the hardware (old NUC to a new NUC) and just imaged the disk from the old one onto the new machine, and the server kept chugging along quite nicely, after I configured the hardware (specifically the Intel QuickSync for hardware transcoding in the Plex container).

Since Ubuntu has been transitioning from a really open community driven effort into a commercial enterprise, I feel it may be time to look at other distributions. On the other hand, it will require a fair amount of work to make the switch. But if it needs to be done, than so be it. I guess I am looking for opinions on what Linux distribution would fit my particular use case, and am wondering what most of us here are running.

TLDR; What stable, long term supported Linux distributions do you recommend for a headless server running a stack of docker containers?

[-] faethon@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

interesting! So I should be able to throw my docker-compose yamls directly at Podman and be good to go?

[-] faethon@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

just curious; why would you like to use podman over docker? I have a lot of docker containers running, wondering if I should switch to podman.
