I think the intention was “the opposite of data is lore”

Spoken like a true republican.

I’ll take that over whatever MAGA is.

+1 hosting email sucks.

I always figured it was people that took the plot of Deus Ex too seriously.

Too many spoons when all you need is a knife

Just to cover the obvious:

1. Double check the cable is plugged in
2. Double check that you have a green light on the NIC

It has to be in the same subnet as your router.

Let’s Encrypt is just as secure as paid certs. They’re held to the same security standard.

Truly a Taco Bell-level take.

Doesn’t it do dx12 translation?

Yes, they are.

I believe this replaces esync and fsync. IIRC it’s slightly faster and has the benefit of being mainlined.

Ceph is a huge amount of overhead, both engineering and compute resources, for this usecase.

Sometimes I think this community should be called homelab instead of selfhosted based on the kinds of questions

What’s the cost and impact of downtime for you? If you’re doing this for personal use it’s probably minimal for both so doesn’t really matter. If you want to try the new thing and you’re not afraid of the time investment or potential downtime then go for it

Runc is native.

It’s been a long time since I took it but these are two I recall being helpful. There is a ton of material out there on this cert. I think I recall the official book being helpful too.

Part 1 and part 5 look most applicable to you. You’re unlikely to ever need or want to mess with dynamic routing unless you’re doing networking for very large networks for example.

What you’re looking for is a backup. RAID is not a backup, as another poster said it’s a tool for enduring high availability, and possibly higher throughput.

Buy a second pi and put it in another location in your house or even better at friends house then configure regular backups of your important data to it. There are also cloud services for doing backups which are great because having a location to do off-site backups to can be really hard to get as an individual.

A lot of this is being complicated for you by not understanding networking fundamentals. I’d suggest looking into a Network+ certification which will cover all of these basics like DNS. You don’t have to actually get the cert, just going through the motions on learning the material should help a lot.

You seem to be close on grokking the whole picture and just need some of the basics that are hard to pick up from just doing things at home. A lot of work has been done to try abstract that away from consumers in order to make things easier which is making it harder for you.

Fair enough. Personally I’d start with their documentation then: https://docs.openstack.org/install-guide/

For OS it looks like they support RHEL/CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, and SUSE so I’d stick with one of those.
