  • I really appreciate your super stark pro libre software attitude. I want to support you here. You should know that the approach you are taking is ultra abrasive and would probably cause more harm than help.

    People would just associate libre software with militant weirdos, if all they saw where your posts.

    If you want to make meaningful change I strongly recommend taking a softer less abrasive approach.

    We want libre software to be connected with safety, friendliness and personal autonomy, not militarism, chanted phrases, and dogma.

    Even on Lemmy the ultra pro libre software social network (relative to non federated networks) your current approach is off putting. I want you to succeed and I think a different approach may be better.

    Just my two cents.





  • There is a lot here but I think the most important thing is that docker containers should always be disposable. Don’t put any data into the container ever.

    All of your data and configuration should be done in volumes. Local disk to inside the container is all you really need.

    By doing this you make updating any given docker container easy as just pulling the newest tagged version of the container. If you are using docker and not podman you can use tools like watchtower to do this automatically.

    As for what distro, it depends on your goals. Do you want to learn and improve your skills? Stick with Fedora or Rocky or Debian or openSUSE. I recommend learning the command line as you go, but if you want a nice UI openSUSE has Yast which is a very robust tool.

    If you want to just have a home NAS but don’t want to learn that’s a different question. In this case if you’re getting a proprietary NAS anyway you could just get one that supports docker (like synology) and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
