You can get 4 if you make them 1 core each.

Okay, it’s been a while since I first heard of it. I misremembered. So, it would be cool to have a vps with Headscale and Pangolin.

Yeah… I know it’s insane. But they give you 4 arm cores, 24GB RAM, 200GB of storage in their always free tier.

Oh, I must have completely misunderstood what Pangolin is for. Is Pangolin like a replacement for Cloudflare tunnels in that case?

I don’t understand, each compute unit gets their own IP right?

I believe Pangolin is also using Wireguard. Pangolin is basically a self hosted Tailscale. I think the biggest advantage is the ease of management, but I’ve never used Pangolin or Tailscale so I couldn’t really tell you.

I know gross Oracle, but they have a fantastic free tier that would be good for that.

But this is self hosting.

I have wireguard on my router. To me it makes sense. If my router is down, nothing inside my network is reachable anyway. If I’m going through my router, anything inside my network can be rebooted without effecting my connection. That said, I’m really considering using Pangolin https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin, and hosting it in Oracle Cloud. If you don’t know, Oracle Cloud has an extremely generous free tier. As much as I generally hate Oracle, I still recommend their free tier.

If you have more than one server, running a tang server is super easy. Clevis can then be used to unlock a LUKS partition automatically on boot.

Somehow even worse. Now it comes with and I have to install it separate?

I would argue it’s worse. You can’t choose the things that are actually beneficial to you and how you work.

Oh… Yeah I wouldn’t expect those would be good. Honestly I started at TNG.

That’s the best place to use Linux.

If by animated series you mean Lower Decks, you better take that back.

Well, that’s good to hear. Maybe I only see people post when things aren’t working, because that’s when people are most likely to post. This project mentions geo replication, does Minio replicate as well?

I haven’t heard much good about Minio. I would also be curious about this project.

Yep, some people sort of miss the point of microservices and make some fairly monolithic containers. Or they’re legacy apps being shoehorned into a container. Some things still require handholding. FreeIPA is a good example. They have a container version, but it’s just a monolithic install in a container and only recommended for testing.

Containerfiles are super easy to write. For the most part if you can do it in a VM, you can do it in a container. This sort of thing is why you would move to containers. Instead of being the “expert” in all the apps you run, you can focus on the things that actually need your attention.

I literally get paid to do this type of work and there is no way for me to be an expert in all the services that our platform runs. Again, that’s kind of the point. Let the person who writes the container be the expert. I’ll provide the platform, the maintenance, upgrades, etc… the developer can provide the expertise in their app.
