I use Proxmox and Rocky
1 Like
I just switched a node over to Alma Linux and am really liking it. What are your reasons for using Rocky, I was thinking of trying it out later?
Iām gonna have to take a look at these RHEL derivatives. I didnāt like Ubuntu, and Debian really didnāt have the feel, that I liked. Then again a stack of Red Hat floppies on a 386 was my first introduction to Linux. I suppose that RPMs and dnf (yes I remember the days of pms) feel more like āhomeā over the apt ecosystems.
No special reason technical wise at the bottom line, both should be redhat compatible. Basically Rockyās owner is the guy who founded CentOS butā¦ the company is for profit and stuff may happen in the future.
Alma otherwise is ran by a foundation and itās somewhat protected from corporate greed.
At the end of the day itās doesnāt really matter what you use Rocky, Alma or Oracle Linuxā¦ they are the same.
For my Plex, Sambashare and Minecraft server I use KDE Neon lol, itās definitely not wise but it works
Dietpi on HP T630. And then on it - Plex, HomeAssistant, Nextcloud and AdGuard.

This is due to drivers needed on my current machines. (Dell Precision 5820T and older Alienware Area 51 R2)

Thanks for the question. Some interesting answers.
P.S. Really need to learn Kubernettes, Docker, etc. to replace virtual machines.
Debian 12 is what I am using mainly, I also have Fedora CoreOS and one Ubuntu machine but I will probably move everything over to Debian as I donāt trust any company run Linux Distro anymore. Been looking into Alpine as a lightweight alternative to Fedora CoreOS but am not sure
Sorry, just seen this, notifications donāt seem to be working properly.
Depends on connection of the device remoting in, say perfect conditions it will be pretty stable, but as soon as you start introducing packet loss, latency etc, youāll notice it dropping in and out perhaps
Iāve never noticed anything though personally. For home use Iād look at guacamole or Kasm due to pricing of the CALs required for remoteapp / remote desktop services.
Arch. PITA to install, but once itās running itās great. The OS is pretty barebones - you have to install what you need, but nearly everything runs in containers anyway.
I use debian with Yunohost
Iām using Windows atm, but all my VPS servers are running Ubuntu 22.04 and my vaultwarden server runs Debian which is a gem! Iāve never known debian was so light yet almost functions like Ubuntu!
For those who have a bit more experience selfhosting, I recommend to use Debian. You can selfhost services in about 1/3rd smaller sized VPS.
I found a mini-vps host. Might be playing around with it. Not sure what. But at less than $2/month, Iām sure I can figure out something.

This past weekend I took my old windows gaming PC that I was using to self host services through docker, and installed Proxmox 8. I grew tired of having to constantly monitor Windows to make sure everything was constantly up and trouble shooting odd outages.
This is my first experience with Proxmox and it certainly has a learning curve, but i decided to lean into it and learn more about my home networking and understanding how all my machines communicate to each other.
So far, I have two Debian LXC containers up, one running Jellyfin connected to a CIFS drive, and another running Docker with Portainer. The Jellyfin container has GPU pass through for transcoding. So far the stability is unreal and once setup it just runs. Very excited to see what else I can throw at this machine!
