    So there's a lot going on here but the message is very simple. Even for a native English speaker, this is some flowery language. Very heavily Christian (all the Thee's and Thy's and Thou's are of course God with that Capital G) and it tries to instill humility before God.

    All of this is a fancy way of saying "no matter how much I learn and achieve in life, I must never think I've learned or achieved more than God."

    Hyper-V will work with physical disk, but be warned - the wizard you run through when making a VM will make it look like you give the VM a VHD file for storage or nothing. Just attach no storage to the VM initially, then go into the VM settings after the wizard is complete to attach something besides a VHD.

    Can't entirely remember if it handles partitions but I know it can boot particular disks and if the setting exists, that's where it would be

    Windows 7 was a competent OS with low system requirements, a stable kernel, a simple feature set that was well-known and useful, an interface that was comprehensible and clearly conveyed to the user, and it didn't require extra investment or online accounts, and compatibility options for the really old stuff. It remains the Best version of Windows in my eyes.

    8 took away the comprehenisble UI, low spec options, and lack of online service requirements, then 10 further complicated the UI and filled the OS with ads, the then 11 bloated the feature set, added even more ads, borked compatibility, and made the online accounts a requirement unless you pay extra and/or know what you're doing.

    Remmina failing to connect to local VM connected to Microsoft Azure/Entra ID

    Hey folks! Hope your day's going good. I'm hoping someone else has had this problem or knows the application enough to where they can help me. I'm moving my main desktop from W10 to linux (Q4OS, Debian-based) and it's gone well so far. The only thing I truly need Windows for is work, so I've decided to build a Win11 VM on my Proxmox server and remote into it when I need to do work there. Install went smoothly, and my M365 user is the Admin of the W11 box. Remote Desktop is enabled, and my user is added to the Remote Desktop Users group on the local machine. I had issues remoting in from anywhere, but after researching I was able to make a shortcut that worked on a Windows machine by adding the below options to the .rdp file. With these added, a web page opens and takes me through M365 authentication, and then I remote in. > username:s:.\AzureAD\name@domain.tld > > enablecredsspsupport:i:0 > > authentication level:i:2 `Note: email address changed for anonymity' I've tried and failed several different ways to remote into this machine via Remmina. It works as described from Windows machines, but Remmina doesn't seem able to open the webpage that lets me sign in. Instead, I get Remmina's login prompt which I've so far been unable to log in through. This occurs whether I create a profile from scratch or if I import the previously-mentioned RDP file. I have 2 Windows 10 VMs which are just regular solo machines, and I have no trouble remoting into them, it's just the Azure/Entra joined machine that causes this. I'd like to use my Azure account on the VM so I can keep work at work, so to speak, and so I don't have to activate Windows (a license is included in my business account). If anyone's got some kind of solution or can tell me how to apply the options above to Remmina, I'd love to know how.

    This is very much what messed up my last install. Errors kept telling me that I needed to update file owners to 33:0, despite having done that on every mount point on the Ubuntu server. I even tried updating the ACLs from inside OpenMediaVault, but no dice. In hindsight I'm pretty sure that was stupid but it was already broken at that point and I was trying anything.

    I was really just using SMB for convenience sake, one less protocol for me to turn on and configure. I initially thought about NFS but when I realized how little I know about actually securing NFS I decided against it. Though, I suppose that's led me to this point here.

    Trying it stock is exactly what I was thinking, though what folks have said about NixOS makes me think that's going to be the first thing I try.

    Very first experience was NC-Pi, right before that project got canned. Loved it so much I spent a couple hundred on shared hosting and set v24 up there, but I've been trying to move to my homelab because A) One less bill B) I can use the 72TB RAID Array for storage instead of the 30GB storage I paid way too much for.

    Honestly have had great experiences with Portainer so far, with Nextcloud being the only real exception. PiHole, Dashy, an introducer for Syncthing, and StashApp all run without a hitch via Compose files dropped into Portainer. Though I am definitely going to take Docker out of the picture for the next NC install which means taking Portainer out as well.

    I've only ever used the official repositories, basically followed the install documentation to get the letter. I do management of it through Portainer but that's just a convenience for testing. Once I got the Compose file just right I'd docker up -d inside the folder on the VMs main drive.

    The actual files were saved to a mounted SMB share, and I'm not sure if it's related or not but I also had a media folder mounted as SMB and configured to be shared as External Storage within Nextcloud itself. I keep wondering if the database isn't killing itself trying to read everything in there...

    Moving away from Nextcloud AIO, where do I start setting up a Nextcloud instance WITHOUT Docker?

    Hi selfhosted! Hope you're having a good day :) I'm pretty new to self-hosting and have been traipsing through a minefield attempting to make NextCloud AIO work inside Docker. The instance runs for a few days/weeks and then starts getting extremely slow on the website, then dies entirely. Usually, either the ClamAV or Apache containers get stuck in an unhealthy state that no number of reboots or reinstalls can fix. Quick context for how this all works. I have one machine that runs Proxmox and a group of VMs for various purposes. One such VM runs my Nextcloud. This VM is running Ubuntu 23.10, Docker, and the NextCloud AIO package. Another VM hosts OpenMediaVault, which contains a set of SMB Shares mounted to the host VM that act as storage for NextCloud. The symlinks (I think I'm using that word right) on the host VM have user and group permissions updated according to AIO's documentation. Proxmox is configured to boot this VM first, then boot the rest in sequence once the files are available. Right now I've got Nextcloud handling Synchronization of Files, Calendars, Contacts, and Kanban boards via the Deck Extension. Everything else can be abandoned at this point, these are the only functions I'm truly using. If this gives you an idea for an alternative app I'd love to hear it. So after AIO broke for about the 5th time in the 8 months since I started trying to self-host it, I've been looking at alternatives. Before I go that route, I want to try installing Nextcloud without Docker. Some of the posts I've read here suggest that the Docker distribution of NextCloud has serious issues with stability and safely installing updates. I plan to make a new VM entirely for this, Distro undecided. I still want to run it as a VM and still use my SMB shares for bulk storage. So where would I begin if I planned to install NextCloud directly to the VM rather than through Docker?

    Anti-Flag Announce Break Up Following Possible Rape Accusations Against Frontman www.stereogum.com

    **Copied from the article**: Anti-Flag have broken up. Last night, the the long-running political punk band announced on Patreon that they had disbanded. The breakup is sudden. The band was on tour in Europe and they were scheduled to play in Prague with the Dropkick Murphys tomorrow night. The announcement includes very little context. Here it is, in full: >Anti-Flag has disbanded. the patreon has been switched into a mode where it will no longer charge the monthly fee. I will begin to process refunds to all patrons in the coming weeks. once all refunds are processed the patreon page will also be removed. The band’s website and their social-media pages have all been removed. This leaves a lot of questions unanswered. On Reddit, fans pointed out a podcast episode that went live yesterday. On the latest episode of Enough, a podcast dedicated to sexual assault in the music business, a woman tells a story about being raped by the singer in a political punk band. She never names the band or the singer, but it’s hard to hear that story without connecting dots. The story is extremely upsetting, both in its details and in the sense of betrayal that surrounds it. You can hear it here. Justin Geever, who goes by the stage name Justin Sane, started the first version of Anti-Flag in Pittsburgh in 1988. The band released their demo in 1992 and their debut album Die For The Government in 1996. Over the decades, Anti-Flag became hugely popular, moving to Fat Wreck Chords and then to RCA in the mid-’00s. The band has remained active in recent years, and they released their most recent album Lies They Tell Our Children earlier this year. For their entire lifespan, Anti-Flag have pushed left-wing principles and political causes.>>

    First-time self-hoster here. OS and DNS Questions

    Hey /c/selfhosted! Reddit refugee here with a couple questions on things I'm a bit uncertain about. I'll try to keep it brief, but I can clarify anything that needs clarified. I came into a little money recently and I'm coming into some more in the nearish future. My plan is to put some of that into a new server build that I'll use to host VMs running Docker, Portainer, and Nextcloud for starters. Vaultwarden, Jellyfin, Gitea, and some kind of dashboard site will come once I get NextCloud in a good place (I'm torn between Dashy and Heimdall, so if anyone's got opinions I'd love to hear them.) I plan to add more once I'm more comfortable with Docker, and once I have a better idea of how to keep all these things organized and backed up. I have two domains I'm going to use for these, one for test and one for "prod". I use quotes because all of these things are for me only until I'm confident enough to invite my family. I don't plan to make anything that's going to be used by more than a handful of people overall. I've been trying all this with an old server I got off Craigslist which I installed Server 2019 on. I know IIS is a thing, but I'm not certain how or even if IIS plays with Docker, which has me questioning if Windows Server is even worth messing with on the new hardware. Right now, I have a VM set up in Hyper-V which is hosting Docker/Nextcloud in what I'm considering a test environment, but it's not accessible outside the home. Mostly I did this to learn Hyper-V for work, so I'm not married to Windows Server or even Windows for all this. The other problem, of course, is DNS. It does appear that my ISP has given me a static address (or at least they haven't changed it since I moved in 6 months ago). Assuming that's true, I'm not certain how I'd go about configuring a DNS server at home and making it accessible outside my home. If anyone's got any resources they want to recommend for setting up a DNS server in-home for this kind of thing, I would love to see them. tl;dr 1. Is there any advantage to using Windows Server to host VS some flavor of Linux or even Windows Pro, or am I just wasting my time (assume cost is not a factor) 2. Am I making my life harder trying to manage DNS through Windows Server, and is there an alternative if so. Linux alternatives also accepted
