I’m running the recognize app on nextcloud which I think requires at least 4-5 GB RAM, so I have 6 dedicated to that VM. I’m pretty sure the recommendation for Ubuntu in general was 2 GB RAM so I gave my pihole half that. Home assistant wanted 4 GB, but I gave it 2. I think my Jellyfin server has like 6 and I have another VM with like 4. So that’s a total of like 19gb RAM provisioned. Plus I have a 2 TB zfs pool for my nextcloud VM. When I go into proxmox it tells me I’m using like 29.5 GB.
I suspect if someone was using docker or some other sort of containerization one could expect better performance than what I am getting with VMs.
I’m currently hosting like 5 vms on a proxmox host (mostly ubuntu vms- pihole, nextcloud, home assistant, etc), which is an i5 4590 with 32 gb ram and I’m running up against the limits of how much ram I can provision and if 2 or more of my vms are doing something intensive at the same time I’m pinning the CPU. I don’t think my use-case is that crazy for someone doing a little self-hosting.
I was looking at that at one point. Looks nice, but pretty expensive for what it is and software support is not great (last I checked they only had like one major android version update). Honestly I just want a Pixel a series with the above features. Likely to run GrapheneOS on my next phone.
Least favorite things? Hmmm…
Things that I want on my phone:
-headphone Jack
-user replaceable battery
-micro SD
-good camera
I know the specs would be terrible nowadays, but in terms of physical features and overall design, I think phone design peaked around the Samsung S5.
Dual Core ARM Cortex-A7 processor running at 1GHz
1GB DDR3 RAM memory
Doesn’t seem like you could self-host a whole lot with that…
I admire the thought of lowering the barrier to entry to start self-hosting for “normies”. Not sure where you are located, but where I am, this price point is not realistic even for used equipment, not including RAM or storage. I’m not really sure what value add you are bringing to the table that one wouldn’t get from just buying used hardware from an office surplus and if one is very inexperienced in self-hostong, looking into something like LTT is partnered with like Hexos.
How convenient
Wasn’t Yelp the one that was calling up businesses offering to remove bad reviews for the right price?
OP did not specify what services they were using. I assumed if they were interested in tinkering with this sort of thing, they probably host something like Plex or jellyfin.
Honestly I’d start looking for ssf/tiny PCs being sold off by local businesses. I’d be putting some sort of Linux distro on it. I’ve been meaning to check out a few projects like KDE Big Screen and others. Unless there is some sort of killer Android app you can’t live without.
What is jellystat?
Plus one for the gli.net router. I’ve got the Beryl AX and it’s great. Ended up going with a wireguard VPN rather than tailscale, but either would work.
Never knew that was Oaisis. Great movie.
“He’s my partner. Now that doesnt mean we go on long walks on the beach. It means I try to keep him out of as much trouble as he gets me in.”
KDE bigscreen looks perfect for me. I know I have heard of it before but I will need to look a bit more in depth at it.
All I want is Roku, but FOSS, without the ads and tracking.
Last couple of phones I’ve bought have been pixel a-series, new. Only reason I’ve felt I had to upgrade what the phone no longer getting security updates.
Expensive, but worth it.
I’ve been running Pop!_OS for a few years now on my laptop and about a year on my gaming PC. I’ve been very happy with it. Even microsoft Flight Simulator works perfectly. I’ve built a win 10 VM in virtual box for the few pieces of software I can’t get going on Linux (old garmin GPS software and some ham radio programming software).
