My install is on Arch linux, I just installed incus and cockpit-machines and (from memory) that was enough.

But, yeah, it's definitely a step away from a full GUI...

But I think that's part of the appeal (to me)... there's a lot of things preinstalled with Proxmox, (and XCP-ng, etc), that I'll just never use... so if I could get that old Ras Pi3 as a 2nd node in the cluster without all the fluff... maybe that's a good thing?

I used an old thin client as a pfSense firewall for years... but the DSL into passthrough mode and effectively made that a modem, so in effect pfSense was the "router"

If you don't have something like that, it's a step up from a standard ISP one.

Not sure about long term power consumption though...

Post it to me?

I am in no way even slightly an "expert" here, but Incus could be considered a lightweight Proxmox..

They're both going to run some VMs and / or containers, but with Proxmox you get the overhead of the fancy GUI.

So if your host(s) aren't running guests at >90% load, then there won't be any difference in performance.

I've recently installed Proxmox because everyone else uses it (and VMware's free ESXi is now dead)... but after pulling my hair out trying to get some things done, I'm seriously looking to move to Incus.

There's another post here somewhere (the one about free ESXi being killed off) with someone explaining more about Incus, which seems like it's the way to go... maybe worth a search.

Arch. Neat logo, and adding IAmCandy in pacman's config file enables a pacman when downloading packages

But the real reason is that it's on the bleeding edge... if there's a new feature in a program, I can use it today.

And if (when) something doesn't work, I can raise a ticket or even contribute to the work, get it fixed and get on with my life.

Debian and all it's derivatives are still using applications from

<insert vague hand waving gesture>

RAID10

Agreed... with a timestamp on the video this was the best advice I had after a housefire.

Ooh, didn't know libvirt supported clusters and live migrations...

I've just setup Proxmox, but as it's Debian based and I run Arch everywhere else, then maybe I could try that... thanks!

Ah, right. I wasn't sure about that part.

So, the XMPP server just helps to initiate the connextion between clients then they communicate directly?

Will that work if someone's at home (inside the network) and talking to someone outside (via the pfSense proxy)?

Thanks. I've not found snikket to compare with, but will take a look.

LOL

But what about the movies where the actors are typing commands and a visual GUI is moving around and updating on the screen (and making sound effects too).

Isn't that the best of all worlds? /s

Weird. netin was busy, yet the bottom of the screen implies more outbound traffic (I guess it's connected the other way around?)

And the log looks like a SMB/CIFS issue... maybe not the interweb?

But, it definitely looks like something got stuck in a loop and triggered a memory leak.

Whatever VM / CT was using CPUs 7 & 10 at the time was the problem... find that and you'll find the next step down the rabbit hole...

Not sure where you are in the world, but I'm using OpenEnergyMonitor

Personally, I'm using their Raspberry Pi version (EmonPI) to monitor my total house energy - grid in, solar in and solar export and pull the data directly into HA.

But there's other options available too, like the 6-channel monitoring, so you could potentially monitor separate circuits and / or high energy systems like heatpumps, etc. They have options for 3-phase too...

In my case, power in AND power out to the grid both flashed the LED on the supply meter (mentioned elsewhere here), so I had to go with CT sensors which I put inside the consumer unit... had a little trouble with calibration due to the electrical noise in there, but +/- a few W is nothing when I have to heat my home with electricity at 4kW+

They only see your public IP address (ie your router), so all devices on the private side will appear to be the same source.

So, if your laptop and your server (and anyone else at the same location) are connected to the internet via the same router, then, you're the same source.

Generally, user interfaces are hard work. If you just want to code, then having a web app means you're already 50% done.

Actually should be 90% done, but each browser has differences which means more coding... I'm looking at you, Internet Explorer

In my experience both new and used drives either fail within the first few weeks or they go on foreverrrrr....

Do it. The last thing you need during a rebuild is the stress of not knowing how long / other issues with your specific setup.

It's only "disaster recovery* if you've never practiced... orherwise it's just "recovery"

+1 An old ISP of mine still uses RoundCube for their webmail, so if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for self hosters.

Give FairEmail a look...
