Question for the OP or anyone who uses OpenCloud: How does it size up in an enterprise? NextCloud has known capacity for corporate use with SSO, a desktop app, integrations…but it has all the pitfalls of PHP (granted I run it with Nginx/FastCGI and a lot of resources). The thing is, anything not PHP can be run for less overhead in terms of actual cloud costs, so I see a benefit to OpenCloud. But the features have to be there. I know a desktop app is coming soon, and thats just one of many needs.

Use a VPN like Tailscale

Keeping in the time honored tradition of always having an update every time I open it.

Jellyfin is still way behind Plex in general performance but I keep a VM of it running and updated, for when the day comes that Plex is absolutely worthless.

Which at this rate, is, well, we’re getting there.

Similarly, I feel the same way about Jellyfin but Plex is making it really hard to be a Lifetime Pass member as well.

Well shit, I still rely on Docker Hub even for automated pulls so this is just great. I guess i’m going back to managing VMs with OpenTofu and package managers.

What are our alternatives if we use Podman or K8s?

Google claims in their data the failure rate is pretty equal across all brands.

I also switched from Reds to Seagate years ago at home, no issues so far. And I have had a sad tale of Seagate/Maxtor failures before this.

Well I know why it opened up today: H264 patents expired

You lost me the second I saw crypto shit.

Blames PHP for all the issues

Namecheap.

It wasn’t GoDaddy.

For what its worth, I think building a NAS has a few benefits, one being Native Level ZFS support if you use FreeNAS. Synology has gone in a different direction with btrfs and LVM, and I wish they would just stick with ZFS in User Space instead. Synology has managed to do a lot in their consumer lineup, they’ve even ditched ARM for x86 so they can offer Docker/LXC which is a big win, even if its not as performant as my own Proxmox stack off consumer hardware. That said, use what you feel comfortable with.

I disagree with this. I have managed to get by quite well with my 4-bay Synology for over five years. They still even provide updates for it. That said, most of the “work” is done on a server of its own accord, and not on the NAS. More than anything, this server will be getting an upgrade later this year with a newer workhorse from either Dell or Supermicro to better suit the needs of virtualization and LXC, and on-hardware AI with whatever consumer PCI cards I can get my hands on.

I don’t foresee a need to upgrade outside of disk replacements for storage for another few years, by that time it may be time for 10GigE at home and then, we can talk upgrade.

Yes, you’re right, RFC 6762 proposes reserving .local for mDNS. I was not aware of this until you brought it up, hence the dangers of using using TLDs not specifically designated for internal use.

I had actually used .local for years until I caved upon knowing, and bought kingthrillgore.name and used it both for my web sigh and my local domains. For most people, this is an unnecessary cost. We should really approve adding .lan and .localhost to ICANN as reserved domains as well.

.local is recommended for use with mDNS/Zeroconf

No, because I am worried the NSA may try to collate data from them. In fact, I zero-wipe, drill bit the drives in the platters and the PCB, and drop them off at e-waste for recycling.

500 GB SSD / 16 GB RAM / 8 vCPUs you won’t go hungry

I pay Dreamhost for a beef pc VPS, that’s what “selfhosted” means to me. I host all kinds of shit on it.
