Good point

not anywhere in my sentence did I say I wanted it… ;)

I think one of those is sim capable though actually! But regardless, I meant what I said minipc or phone like, not cellular capable

Thanks!! :)

A minipc or phone like handheld that can be used for Linux. Not for gaming. More like a full Linux phone with control.

It seems like you want a curated list?

Then check the most basic sites first bro 0_o

Have you checked torrent leach? Is it an Asian film

I’m sorry but I really don’t see the point in these distros way down the line. You can add anything to Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, etc.

Name?

MAM, you have to apply but it’s easy.

I run three-four at home and one at work. Cost is very minimal. 20-40$ a year in electricity per device. Easiest way to start is to get an optiplex for nothing and install Linux with docker. They run very low power

Big one for media, torrenting and streaming.

One for security cameras.

One for docker containers.

One big one for backup but it isn’t always on.

Then one offsite backup.

I used to have the two smaller ones be on the big server but I need 24/7 reliability and found straight Linux servers better. I like having the security cameras server only running frigate and the docker ones away from the 24/7 seeding and streaming of the media one. Unraid, my big server, always has random issues for me.

Also it’s just fun to run all your own stuff

I originally did it to move my qbit and Jellyfin services to run 24/7 to stream my media to my phones and tv.

Then I got more into it and started to learn about other services I can run, backup my files, and just tinker around. It’s great because my server and computers all run fedora so it carries over very easily.

There are tons of docker container services that can change your life haha

That’s what I was trying to do. I think I encrypted everything as it was my second plain Linux server, not unraid or truenas. I didn’t get it working

Time to build your server

Any tips?

I tried it. Wonder if I was doing something dumb…

I have not tried any of those three things: TPM, Clevis, or Tang. Thanks for recommending.

I tried to setup a keyfile on /, /boot, and /root.

I tried a keyfile on a usb

I also tried to use dropbear to allow ssh unlock.

Sadly these didn’t work and drove me crazy for two nights.

I encrypt my laptop and desktops and I think it’s worth it. I regret encrypting my servers because they need passwords to turn on. I couldn’t figure out how to handle it when away.
