I run proxmox and a trunas VM.

• TrueNAS is on a virt disk on a NVME drive with all the other VMs/LXCs
• I pass the HBA through to TrueNAS with PCI passthrough: 6 disk Raid z2. this is ‘vault’ and has all my backups of hone dirs and photos etc
• I pass through two HDs as raw disks for bulk storage (of linux ISOs): 2 disk Mirrored zfs

Seems to work well

I’m wondering if you have an incorrect gateway set or default route

also, what ports on both routers are connected? are they both using “WAN” for their uplink?

As said look at DHCP clashes or " Wall -> Ethernet Splitter -> PC Under either"

What do you mean by this? The ones I know of will drop the connection to 10mb or 100mb and will on work on both “halves” at the same time*

you could probably find cheaper with more to do more

I see you mentioned the free Oracle cloud servers, they are not simple to use like many cloud VPS. But if you wanted to go down that route then if you get a full account with a CC on file then you can normally get the ampere instance (still free)

I say go with proxmox on the n100 (I use it), there are alternatives kvm/QEMU managers that I heard good things about as well (namely Incus https://github.com/lxc/incus )

I dont think that I have ever spun up a kubuntu image, but here are a few random thoughts to go with what others have said:

I have Neon running as a VM in proxmox driving the lounge TV with the intel iGPU passed through to it. Ive beenvery happy with wayland and plasma6 except for rdp/nomachine/etc not working on my setup. It’s the only fault really.

I have fedora kde as a parallels desktop on my m2 and it works well there.

Another option (as stated) my be openSUSE. openSUSE is where I landed after I left gentoo and I ran that for along time untill I had to use windows for a few years.

Yeah, that was the reason I switched from pfsense to opnsense about 4 years ago

/me points to my lemmy domain, I also have <reallastname>.nz

You should see the confused looks when I say firstname@lastname.nz and they reply with blueether@<reallastname>.nz and I say no… as I said it…

I run Caddy, it has a few services exposed on https, and I also use it with adguard.

Adguard does the DNS rewrite and Caddy does the port map for internal, eg:

Proxmox:

• https://10.0.0.10:8006 becomes
• https://pve.DOMAIN.TLD

I then can have all my VMs/LXCs/Docker with god knows what port numbers pointed to in caddy

seems to have issues with chrome on a macBook; more reason to move to firefox?

I didn’t get the email and have the 5 node free business plan, but cant see the home/student price on the site. I guess it time to look at switching to dockge or something

Thanks for the hard work

I can use remot desk tops like nomachine realvnc etc which is nice

The only problem is that (only once so far) when using NoMachine I ended up with no display on the desktop I was remoted into after the TV went to sleep. To confound the issue it is a VM on proxmox with passed through iGPU

I’m currently on Neon on the desktop (and macOS on the mac). On the servers it nearly all debian and a couple of BSDs

Over the last almost 25 years i’ve almost exclusively ran KDE when not being stuck with windows (for various reasons). Ive heard good things about Arch, but I’m getting far too old to be bothered with a semi-complex install (yes I have run Gentoo for several years, so I think it is an age thing).

Well it works well enough for my small instance, so a thimbs up from here.

I’ll also point out that it was easy to configure and chang for my needs

https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy used to work well, not sure if it is maintained still @ubergeek77@lemmy.ubergeek77.chat ?

thanks, there was nothing about a licence with the original post that i saw

What licence are they using? Do you know something everyone else does not?

Just because Llama Group want to control what goes into FreeLlama? Just like every other open source with a leadership?

Winamp will remain the owner of the software and will decide on the innovations made in the official version

If I release project qwtop as open source I still retain ownership of my code and make the decisions about what makes it into the main release; how is this different so far, when we haven’t seen the licence?

<edit: see post below>

I switched to using https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy by @ubergeek77@lemmy.ubergeek77.chat

I’ve used influx and grafana in the past

There are some good options here for further reading
