because why wouldn’t they?

sounds like you do your own research

but for real, who is still using x? i thought it was just a bunch of mouth breather magas at this point.

Haha, you’re not wrong about it seeming a little extra to get installed.

I used coreos live ISO and coreos-installer with the ignition file produced from a ucore-autorebase.butane file. I lightly edited the example butane file with the ssh keys I wanted to use, password hash, and “ucore-minimal:stable-nvidia” since I’ve got an old 1060 gpu in the server for jellyfin.

proxmox is awesome, but i dont think its a right fit for what you’re looking to do. if you just want to run a few podman containers, I’d probably go with a server os that is geared towards containers.

check out fedora’s coreOS or maybe ucore from the universal blue project. it seems like they’re both good candidates for podman. i think opensuse has a similar offering in microOS.

i recently migrated containers from an older Ubuntu server running docker to a ucore server with mainly rootless podman containers. i think I prefer ucore as updates are automated, reboots are scheduled for off hours, and the podman containers are kept updated by systemd service. and cockpit comes on the os image container, so i can poke stuff on a webpage too I guess.

ah I missed that part.

why not just NFS or smb in a tailscale network?

its nice of them not to encrypt it at least. it can get harvested along the way!
