What do y’all use to monitor many linux servers? in c/[email protected]

[–] loganb 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I personally use CheckMK.

Offer a free "Raw" version.
Can be deployed with docker.
OSS

One thing is that it can be a lot to take in at first and took me a while to get used to it.

It sounds like your goal is a headless server for running various services on? If that's the case, I'd stick with a well supported, mainstem LTS distro. Rocky Linux (RHEL9) or Ubuntu Server is where I'd start.

Typical software stack for me is Cockpit (bare metal management), Nginx Proxy Manager, and Portainer CE.

If your system has a decent amount of memory, >32GB, ZFS in a raidz2 configuration for storage. Keep in mind that if you go the ZFS route that it's memory hungry by design.

For backup software, I ended up going with Restic but there are plenty of good solutions out there. Just make sure that you have one.

Hopefully this gives you an idea where to start looking. Ultimately it comes down to a lot of research, realizing there are a lot of valid ways to go about this, and then choosing the one that makes the most sense to you.

Is it possible to run a docker host that has no harddrive? in c/selfhosted

[–] loganb 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Is the drive totally dead? Curious what SMART would report.

My gut feeling is that it's probably cheaper to buy a replacement m.2 than the hours of time to get netboot working but it could be a fun project!

Oh yeah I totally forgot about loadout presets. That would be sweet!

My hope is that AH is planning for a weapon upgrade system that would allow you to attach different optics to weapons. That would explain why some of the weapons that you would want to have optics, don't... chough chough railgun

I wish I could unlearn this in c/memes

Offline Game Library? in c/selfhosted

[–] loganb 23 points 2 months ago (5 children)

I've been keeping an eye on GameVault as it does exactly what I want from a server perspective. I'm just waiting for a Linux native client or integration the HeroicLauncher or Lutris. The devs are pretty active in this community too!

ROCK AND STONE!

If you hoard video games and aren’t selfhosting GameVault yet, you’re missing out! in c/selfhosted

[–] loganb 6 points 3 months ago

I having one of those things... Ya' know a picture with words...

Heroic Games Launcher could be the answer. The GameVault devs wouldn't need to reinvent the wheel with a Linux client dealing with all the proton sand boxing. Just add to the heroic launcher.

Looks like someone has already had a similar thought too...
