Especially since that’s a thing that almost every MMORPG does too.

Generally nay I think. There are a few I enjoy like Minecraft or Space Engineers.

But in general open world is just more annoying to deal with.

I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one.

Why would someone do that for you when they’re happy using their local LLM?

I generally just use latest for most services. For critical stuff I pin the major version number. Also anything that doesn’t gracefully handle major version updates like Postgres and similar.

If something breaks I fix it, or restore from the nightly backup if I can’t.

No it’s not, docker-compose stacks are quite nice and easy to manage.

Nextclouds docker setup is an absolute disaster, I don’t blame you for giving up. It’s also slow as molasses to sync anything.

A couple things to look at, I would probably say look at KaraDAV first.

• KaraDAV, this is a simple webdav server that’s compatible with the Nextcloud sync clients. Uses SQLite for a DB so setup is super simple. Has a basic web based file browser too.

• Owncloud Infinite Scale, still a bit of a setup, but it’s better than what Nextcloud offers.

• Syncthing, this is my current setup, just a robust and solid file sync program. You can pair it up on your server with something like SFTPGo or KaraDAV to provide a web file manager and WebDAV server if you need that. Downside is there’s no selective sync or virtual folder support.

I’d say go Debian and Docker, proxmox is nice if you’re running a lot of VMs or want HA and clustering but otherwise you don’t really need it.

If you want a GUI for docker containers there are several, Komodo or Portainer are good options.

IMO no.

Small instances can have issues with federation and now showing all replies/content.

There’s also the aspect that you’ll need to moderate content stored on your server, if someone posts something illegal and your server caches it, you’re responsible for cleaning it up.

The service will always be on a port, that’s just how networking works.

Do you mean you want to get rid of the path and serve it on the root or a subdomain? So https://searx.mydomain/ instead of https://mydomain/searx/

What do you want to do? Your explanation isn’t very clear on that…

No IMO.

Docker is universal, you can easily migrate to any system. If you migrate you’re stuck on TrueNAS.

Also you can use watchtower for auto updates with major version pinning when needed (ie; postgres), or one of the many docker images that notify you when updates are available.

There’s also one called SMS Import / Export that I haven’t tested, but looks pretty simple.

KDE Connect, works pretty well.

For a backups I think QUIK SMS on F-Droid has a backup option.

I just use the built in Komodo update checkbox for each stack. No extra config needed, and for things like postgres that don’t do major version updates very well I pin the major version in the tag.

You can do that too with docker tags for the specific major or minor version you want to use.

Actual budget is amazing.

Its not really a keep replacement. Its a good note taking app though.

LetsEncrypt.

You can do that by joining the containers to the same docker network, you don’t need to expose ports even to localhost.

Containers can talk to each other without any ports exposed at all, they just need to be added to the same docker network.
