I would argue k8s is overkill for this and the wrong tool for the job.
Honestly I would never target 100% uptime. Ubisoft, Microsoft, Blizzard, EA, valve, Epic spend billions collectively on online services and still have unplanned outages.
You can get a very cheap VPS from Heizner and you should run your game server there. You get proper cooling, networking, and support if something goes wrong.
Other Linux OS shouldn’t be an issue with the N150 chipset.
I would go with the GMK. More expandable.
I use Donetickfor reoccurring tasks
That’s true but then I would have to deal with PKI, cert chains, and DNS. When now all I need to do is get Traefik to grab a wildcard Let’s Encrypt cert and everything is peachy.
And yet, that is exactly what I am doing and it is working.
Rfc1918 address are absolutely usable with DNS in this fashion.
If I were to try to access it while I wasn’t home it absolutely wouldn’t work but that is not what I do.
Without posting your config we can’t really do much.
I have a similar setup with Traefik getting a cert for a public domain for my private server but didn’t have any issues.
You can’t point to 192.168.X.X that’s your local network IP address. You need to point to your public IP address
That’s not true at all. That is exactly how I have my setup. A wildcard record at Porkbun pointing to the private IP of my home server so when I am home I have zero issues accessing things.
And here are lear years results
Each app has a folder and then I have a bash script that runs
Docker compose up -d
In each folder of my containers to update them. It is crude and will break something at some stage but meh jellyseer or TickDone being offline for a bit is fine while I debug.
Given enough time, yes. Just look at shodan.
For ease of moving containers between hosts I would use a docker-compose.yaml to set how you want storage shared, what ports to present to the host, what environment variables your application wants. Using Wordpress as an example this would be your starting point
https://github.com/docker/awesome-compose/blob/master/wordpress-mysql/compose.yaml
all the settings for the database is listed under the db heading. You would have your actual database files stored in /home/user/Wordpress/db_data and you would link /home/user/Wordpress/db_data to /var/lib/MySQL inside the container with the line
volumes:
- db_data:/var/lib/mysql
As the compose file will also be in home/user/Wordpress/ you can drop the common path.
That way if you wanted to change hosts just copy the /home/user/Wordpress folder to the new server and run docker compose up -d and boom, your server is up. No need to faf about.
Containers by design are suppose to be temporary and the runtime data is recreated each time the container is launched. The persistent data is all you should care for.
Not so much a fake one but overlay the actual directory with specific needed files for that container.
Take the Linux lib directory. It exists on the host and had python version 3.12 installed. Your docker container may need python 3.14 so an overlay directory is created that redirects calls to /lib/python to /lib/python3.14 instead of the regular symlinked /lib/python3.12.
containerisation is to applications as virtual machines are to hardware.
VMs share the same CPU, memory, and storage on the same host.
Containers share the same binaries in an OS.
That’s fair.
Might want to upgrade that Ubuntu os. 20.04 went EOS in May. 24.04 has support til 2029
It’s ok to have opinions. He just seems like a Plex person while the rest of us aren’t.
Honestly, does it matter to a regular user?
There will be some that do matter, if I were to run NC I would use Lite because why throw the data to another process just to write it to a disk when I only have a single node.
Does signal allow self hosting? Unless we are thinking of different things called Signal.
In the virtualisation world you have the expensive big boy who everyone now hates ESX by Broadcom (was VMware), the expensive wannabe big boy that everyone hates Hyper-V by Microsoft, and a gazillion others that use Qemu or zen as a base and puts a shiny coat of UI over it.
Proxmox is in that last category. A pretty interface over an open source underlay at a decent price (if you want to pay the subscription).
Authenticator and Authenticator.
Damn thoe innovative tech companies, what will they think of next.
