I mean what, am I supposed to be ‘preemptively mad’ because they might become worse one day?

Like I don’t understand why I’m supposed to be mad, it’s a service that’s useful and good, maybe it won’t be one day but what am I going to do about that?

Yeah.

Technically you only need 1 interface when using VLANs. Basically any device with a CPU and NIC can be a router.

Make sure you’re buying .com or another common standard TLD and not some weird TLD with super high prices.

And check the renewal price, if your registrar doesn’t make it very clear then go somewhere else.

It could have looked like BL2 with a few upgrades and more physics and that would have been fine.

Why buy this absolute disaster of a game?

There is barely any overhead with a Linux VM, a Debian minimal install only uses about 30MB of RAM! As an end user i find performance to be very similar with either setup.

I run debian on everything, so I set up unattended-upgrades for security updates and basically forget about it. Docker updates are also automatic with Komodo, just make sure databases are pinned to a major version.

For monitoring my services I use Uptime Kuma, and get an alert if a service goes down so I can fix it.

Been pretty solid for years now. Things get rebooted every month or two when I do a Proxmox upgrade and reboot the host.

Everyone has email, and text is also a good option.

My local town alerts come through both, with more urgent alerts like if a fire starts nearby through an automated phone call.

In the case of these ones you just remove the LXC/VM it created.

Install Debian as a server with no GUI, install docker on it and start playing around.

You can use Komodo or Portainer if you want a webUI to manage containers easily.

If you put any important data on it, set up backups first, follow the 3-2-1 rule by having at least 2 backups in place.

The problem with stuff like yunohost is when it breaks you have no idea how to fix it, because it hides everything in the background.

For local access you can use 127.0.0.1:80:80 and it won’t put a hole in your firewall.

Or if your database is access by another docker container, just put them on the same docker network and access via container name, and you don’t need any port mapping at all.

This only happens if you essentially tell docker “I want this app to listen on 0.0.0.0:80”

If you don’t do that, then it doesn’t punch a hole through UFW either.

How though? A database in Docker generally doesn’t need any exposed ports, which means no ports open in UFW either.

Linux lets you do whatever you want and that’s a side effect of it, there’s nothing preventing an app from messing with things it shouldn’t.

No it’s popular because it allows people/companies to run things without needing to deal with updates and dependencies manually

The only thing I really have to make sure of is that the deployment environment has node and the angular CLI installed

That’s why Docker is popular. Making sure every single system running your app has the correct versions of node and angular installed is a royal pain in the butt.

Sounds like NFS might still be the way to go for you.

For backups personally I use Restic and connect over SFTP via SSH, since that’s just built in and doesn’t need any configuration.

For more traditional file sharing I use WebDAV with SFTPGo, since I need windows and android compatibility too, and webdav is pretty easy to setup and use.

And I also use Syncthing for keeping some directories in sync between devices.

Not with Bluehost.

Only if you enable their proxy on a DNS record, or use their tunnel feature. Otherwise it’s just DNS with no access to your traffic.
