Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's on your personal server? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Either self-hosted or cloud, I assume many of you keep a server around for personal things. And I'm curious about the cool stuff you've got running on your personal servers.

What services do you host? Any unique stuff? Do you interact with it through ssh, termux, web server?

I use Docker and (currently) VMware and host whatever I need for as long (or short) as I need it.

This allows me to keep everything separate and isolated and prevents incompatible stuff interacting with each other. In addition, after I'm done with a test, I can dispose of the experiment without needing to track down spurious files or impacting another project.

I also use this to run desktop software by only giving a container access to the specific files I want it to access.

I'm in the process of moving this to AWS, so I have less hardware in my office whilst gaining more flexibility and accessibility from alternative locations.

The ultimate aim is a minimal laptop with a terminal and a browser to access what I need from wherever I am.

One side effect of this will be the opportunity to make some of my stuff public if I want to without needing to start from scratch, just updating permissions will achieve that.

One step at a time :)

You might like to search this community, and also \c\self_hosted, since this question gets asked a lot.

For me:

  • Audiobookshelf
  • Navidrome
  • FreshRss
  • Jellyfin
  • Forgejo
  • Memos
  • Planka
  • File Storage
  • Immich
  • Pihole
  • Syncthing
  • Dockge

I created two things - CodeNotes (for snippets) and a lil' Weather app myself 'cause I didn't like what I found out there.

Two old HP thin client PCs configured as 4TB SFTP file servers using vsftpd on Debian. Each one uses software RAID 1 with both an NVMe and SATA SSD internally, and are in two separate locations with a cron job which syncs one to the other every 24 hours.

People who actually know what they are doing will probably find this silly, but I had fun and learned a lot setting it up.
