    Just use git. It’s what all these front ends use at their core. It’s all just git which doesn’t need any hosting at all. If all you want is tracking changes you don’t even need to set up a remote to push / pull from. Just install git on your local development machine, make a folder for you project, and run ‘git init’. Now you have a local repo which can track and commit changes and you have all of the incredibly powerful tools available that git provides with ample documentation. Wanna back it up? Just backup the folder with any standard backup application like any other folder.












  • Since you’re asking for opinions, I think you might be overreacting. But that’s totally natural after an accident!

    That said, if you’re considering never driving again, then you really have to be sure that’s possible. If your family pushed you into it in the first place, they might already know that it isn’t feasible to rely on public transport where you live. That is extremely common in the US, because there is so much damn space between everything in most places. If you have to rely on others to fill the gaps where public transit fails, then you have to really consider if you’re doing more harm than good by refusing to drive. Ultimately the decision is up to you but there’s lots to consider here that we don’t have all the information for. It’s a good skill to have but requires maintenance to keep.






  • I would make the case for proxmox on the machine so you can divvy up the hardware as you see fit— but also setup the hard drives as a zfs1 pool (1 redundancy failure allowed). This way you can make multiple isolated machines or use LXC containers directly for apps, services, etc. while benefiting from ZFS’s excellent performance and reliability. I would say that TrueNAS Scale has been a bit of a letdown for me because it feels bloated, easy to make mistakes with complicated setups, and I have less control over the hardware. I don’t like how updates have fully broken apps. That said it is a reliable ZFS wrapper with more bells and whistles in the UI over what proxmox offers— caveat being that both can do everything if you want to take the time to learn ZFS commands.

    There is also the TrueNAS based alternative HexOS that is more beginner friendly for just getting a nice NAS setup fast while still supporting apps / containers.
