Which OS do you use for your homeserver? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] quizno50@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

I came back to Gentoo after years of Kubuntu. Once they forced snap down our throats and started pulling other weird crap I knew it was time to make a change. I came back to Gentoo and it's been pretty great. Still a few things to iron out on my laptop installs, but it's great for my home server.

Am I in over my head? Need some encouragement! in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I've been doing Linux server administration for 20 years now. You'll always have to duckduckgo things. You'll never keep it all in your head, even just a single server with a handful of services. Docker and containers really isn't too hard. Just start small and build from there. If you can learn how the chroot command works, you've pretty much learned docker. It's just chroot with more features.

I knew about Lemmy, Mastadon, and PeerTube before this this latest mess with Reddit, but this finally gave me the push to come over as I'm sure it will for many.

I'm here from Reddit. The only thing keeping me there was the Reddit is Fun App, now that the API is going away, so is the only thing keeping me there. So, hello Lemmy =).
