I think he also recommended NextCloud Bookmarks in an earlier podcast. Have you tried that one too?

My server is only available on my LAN and via a VPN. Is fail2ban applicable? Or is it mainly for public facing servers?

I view podman as a mostly drop in replacement for docker but it doesn’t have a daemon (for better and worse). I wouldn’t recommend using podman for you right now. I’d strongly recommend docker-compose (not docker run).

If you’re ever stuck trying to convert a docker run command to a compose.yml file, composerize.com is helpful.

I’ve seen some interesting development with Music Assistant but I haven’t personally used it. It’s not sure if it can be commanded using the cast button.

I agree with starting with what you have to get learning, but I wouldn’t run a Minecraft server on this machine. I’d start with everything else and then buy an old office machine to upgrade. It depends on the unit, but they are easy to upgrade basic upgrades like adding RAM, storage, and possibly a low power graphics card. Since most servers are always on, keep an eye on power consumption with a power meter.

I haven’t use any of these, but others could look at:

• Maybe
• DumbBudget
• budgetbee
• OpenBudgeteer

For reference, these are from Selfh.sh

I’m designing a modular rack shelf mounted 3D printed server case. I hope to finish it by moving my backup server to the new case.

Thanks. That’s helpful. I decided to get an R720 I found on Ebay for $60. I’m not sure if it was a good choice but I’m excited to try it out!

Can you please explain?

Used 2nd hand sounds great, but the price range online is huge. Which units would you recommend and about how much should I expect to pay for them?

What are your thoughts on the U6+ vs U7 Pro? I’m not in an apartment so I probably don’t need 6 GHz? The U7 pro seems more modern and future proof, though but I do like the OpenWrt compatibility in case I don’t like stock firmware.

What do you think about the U7 Pro?

Which ones do you have? Which ones would you get if you were buying now?

This sounds great! I’d love to see your config. I’m not using home manager, but have 1 non root user for all podman containers. 1 user per service seems like a great setup.
