Hm, I never really liked Conversations and decided to end xmpp for good. Maybe I need to give it another try but I really like some Matrix features.

Better mobile clients? Have things changed this much in the least three years?

Last time I used Friendica I really disliked the UI but it keeps popping up lately, maybe there have been some improvements

Why not? It needs some moderation but it's better than any general disquss-like solution imho.

I can't say much to docker in LXC as I'm not using it, I vaguely remember some limitation I've read of but if it works fine for you those don't seem to apply.

A VM has more overhead than an LXC, but with several LXCs maybe a single VM wins on overhead.

I currently have most Docker containers in one VM and am thinking about splitting it, the main reason is that 2 deployments have way larger volumes than the rest. This leads to the snapshots of the VM being very large as well and if I would need to restore from snapshots for a "small" application, it would take super long because of the large ones.

A single VM may be a bit easier on maintenance than several LXCs.

If you don't have a specific reason to switch, I would not.

Moodle can also use collabora.

I was thinking about putting it from its dedicated VM to opnsense as well. I just don't know yet what the security implications are and also my firewall hardware isn't too beefy so I have to play around with it for a bit.

Intel CPU RAM limits often are wrong for some reason. If a Mainboard coming with that CPU supports more, it'll probably work. I usually try to search forums to see if someone uses the same configuration and how much RAM they got to work.

Great to hear the yunohost migration worked. What's 35C?

I haven't tried that but good luck!

I'm personally using Prometheus Stack and like it, but I just check Grafana in my Android browser. I think Zabbix has an Android app but I don't know if it has as many possibilities as Prometheus.

Mostly the stuff in /etc/pve, plus whatever you installed in additional software

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. Not sure if there's a way to achieve that

Pretty cool! I also try to improve my documentation

Debian is kind of the default for many things now, so many guides etc will assume a Debian-like os but if you are familiar with other OSes you can try them just fine. Make sure zfs is supported by the OS properly if you want to use it for your SSDs (which I suggest).

If you are using Docker containers, you can migrate between OSes later relatively easy. Depending on how beefy your optiplex is, you could also use Proxmox as the base os and play with different VMs. Being able to easily snapshot the VMs is pretty great and for me has always been worth the overhead.

If you just want to install some apps directly on the server, I'd just go with Debian headless and set up docker, if you like with portainer or some similar GUI.

Interesting, I wasn't aware Talk has Text, always thought it's video only.

Is exposing it to the internet not an option? Boarding more family members on could be cool.

What exactly is it supposed to bridge?

No experience with most of that stuff, but I would also try to avoid powerline. Tried it and had pretty bad performance.
