  • It’s great if you need what it offers. Otherwise, it’s simpler to set up something like Ubuntu Server.

    I use Proxmox to run my email service, https://port87.com/, because I can have high-availability services that can move around the different Proxmox hosts. It’s great for production stuff.

    I also use it to run my seedbox, because graphics in the browser through Proxmox is really easy.

    For everything else (my Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc), I have a server that runs Ubuntu Server and use a docker compose stack for each service.

    It could be the same thing that happened to me. The dev could have realized what people were using it for and quit to not be a part of that.

    I used to run an encrypted messenger called Tunnelgram. It had some advantages and disadvantages compared to something like Signal (signing in on multiple devices, the web, you didn’t need an existing device to set up a new one, the chat history was saved on the server (encrypted), groups were easy to manage and new users could be added on the fly and see all the old messages, but it didn’t have forward secrecy (if someone got your key, they could see all the messages you sent in the future)). After Jan 6, and reading about how the insurrectionists planned their attacks on encrypted messengers, I just didn’t want to be a part of that anymore.







  • The Mini PC would be a lot easier. The RPi needs things to be built for ARM, and not everything is. The RPi is also slower and isn’t repairable.

    RPis are great for many things, but generic home servers aren’t one of them, unless you really need clustering for some reason (like, a Ceph cluster).
