A lot of people recommend Docker, but I will go further and say to specifically use Docker compose.

That way all the configuration is in a file that you can backup/restore. Updating is really easy, and you will never forget one of the random flags you need to set.

• PiHole - you can use the custom DNS to route domain names to you npm
• npm (Nginx proxy manager) - allows easy access to all your services hosted on one box

This is a great answer.

I have this exact problem.

I’ve been using Void Linux for my home server for a few years now. It uses runit instead of OpenRC, and I haven’t had any problems with it. I would recommend the glibc version over the musl version.

Got 1 VM using KVM (Home Assistant), about a dozen docker containers, and a couple of services running on their own.

I feel like that is what snaps are for, long running server applications.

Because less ports equals less cost.

My Home Assistant Voice is getting really close to displacing Alexa.

Been going through Advent of Code 2022 with lisp and have been having a great time.

Thank you for working hard at making this a place I like to be.
