Geekworm offers a HAT and an enclosure for 2HDD and the Pi, that might suit you

Wtf I didn’t know that there is a clear reason for corpos getting political! Thank you for this, I really had no idea about it!

Well yes but I am not sure that this is the main problem with flatpak containers.

I’d rather point out that this approach creates a bigger attack surface since the containers tend to ship with outdated versions of libraries, frameworks and tools that the actual application relies on because it is now that specific app developer’s problem to update them inside of the container. So with this, even an up to date system is not really up to date and might suffer from severe vulnerabilities. I’d say it depends on your application, use case and threat scenario; containerization can make sense but is not the holy grail.

Did you take a little journey into the BIOS yet? Is definitely firmware, the question is if you can just change a setting there. Otherwise, somebody already mentioned dummy HDMI plugs.

Relied on an AUR package for building and signing my unified kernel image… one day it was outdated and geberating the image failed, I noticed that by the fact that the system refused to boot my OS. Fixing it was done in a few minutes but boy, that was a shock :D

Guess who also checks the exact output of the kernel rebuild now before rebooting!

Might be the case but is this really a problem to solve? To my knowledge, all modern boards support wol.

Applies to PopOS the same way, except for installation steps involving pacman. I’d revommend going with systemd-boot instead of grub, not sure what Pop ships.

Okay, then it simply has an issue with the addresses you are providing, as someone pointed out already, the issue likely is the 192.168.100 network. Find out where exactly you define localhost and 192.168.100.1 as addresses to listen to and change them to e.g. 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 instead (or ideally just 0.0.0.0 as this includes localhost as well). Restart the container afterwards, see if it works. Of course make a backup of your config first so you can go back.

I don’t see anything like that in this thread. If you want people’s help, help them help you and provide sufficient information about your problem.

Yes, have it running and it works well. Nextcloud setup is sth that I will still have to set up but the only problem I see there is certificates. To debug Nebula, simply try executing it by hand, e.g. nebula --config /path/config.yml and see what the error message is. Or check your journalctl of course. Share the message here and we can have a look!

When you issued the netstat command, were the containers up or down? Issue it again after docker-compose stop If you moved or renamed the compose file, the old conrainers would still run in the old context.

For me, two main aspects: I do not have to move my hands from the keyboard and I can pipe things from one tool into others, significantly speeding up many tasks

Very nice! I am running an HC4 (I think; the toaster) now since last month and so far, it’s running much better than I thought! So yes, check that one first, then see if you have to upgrade and if you do, go for aarch64 or traditional x64 but not 32 bit arm

Alternatively, there are also some options from pine64.com, maybe scroll through there! Same for odroid.nl

Native tool, not the web. So far, I have not felt the need to use anything else; calibre does decent management and connects to my koreader installations on ebook readers, while the abs app handles all interactions with phones. The latter has good wife-approval but the syncing through calibre to readers is complex and not super reliable, so it still requires “admin intervention”

Yes. Let me give you an example on why it is very nice: I migrated one of my machines at home from an old x86-64 laptop to an arm64 odroid this week. I had a couple of applications running, 8 or 9 of them, all organized in a docker compose file with all persistent storage volumes mapped to plain folders in a directory. All I had to do was stop the compose setup, copy the folder structure, install docker on the new machine and start the compose setup. There was one minor hickup since I forgot that one of the containers was built locally but since all the other software has arm64 images available under the same name, it just worked. Changed the host IP and done.

One of the very nice things is the portability of containers, as well as the reproducibility (within limits) of the applications, since you divide them into stateless parts (the container) and stateful parts (the volumes), definitely give it a go!

I’m currently using Calibre and Audiobookshelf, where the latter is basically just using the folder structure of Calibre with and additional folder for some audiobooks. Works okay but is not the greatest solution. The calibre library web interface is quite nice (not the weird VNC-style admin panel, the one on other port). People also mention lazylibrarian a lot but I never tried it.

But… is that not exactly the description of somebody who complains about downvotes?? As said by others; they should be considered exactly as valid as upvotes. If you feel like they prohibit you from voicing an opinion, I personally feel like that is a you-problem. Ask yourself of the content you posted is crap, if you feel it is not, simply ignore the downvotes and move on, they are just pixels.

Edit: I checked your posts, most downvoted ones seem to be clickbaity or images that you posted to the linux community. This is not something that vibes with that type of community, I would have downvoted that too. The ones on your technical questions seem unjustified however. Posting a code snippet asking people to execute it… I think that crap should even have been deleted by mods.

Always reminds me of the console wars… people attach their whole identity to all kinds of things nowadays and fight for it like it was a religion. Did not see much good come out of such threads yet.

Let me raise a side concern here since the core questions already seems to be answered; reconsider the Nvidia GPUs. Depending on what you do, you might encounter significant shortcomings at the moment since they do not play perfectly with Wayland yet (which is clearly the future). So do some research in this direction first before you pull the trigger.
