  • non_burglartoSelfhostedIs self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users?

    Gate-keeping is a strong word… It also implies that people on the other side of the gate learned something to get there.

    20 years ago we were doing what we could manually, and learning the hard way. The tools have improved and by now do most of the heavy lifting for us. And better tools will come along to make things even easier/better. That’s just the way it works.

    Compare self-hosting to doing your own mechanic work on a vehicle: there are a lot of tasks that most ppl would benefit from learning the diy way to do it, but there are dangers to car repair that will never go away, like proper car support with jacks, securing wheels correctly, etc.

    It would be neglectful for the community to say nothing and send ppl off to get pwned.

    My range to the next node is 7 miles.

    Lucky you. I’ve got max about 900m (about half mile) by putting a node up on the mountain near me, and that was intermittent and message transmissions were delayed between 5 and 10 min.

    Like I said, great if it works. Not a whole lot of good use cases, and op’s is not a good use case.

    AirTags work because there is a huge network of apple devices registering BT beacons. Meshtastic isn’t really viable unless there are other nodes around on the same channel, as you mentioned.

    I have tried to use two LilyGo t-echos to GPS track my dog. Range is really poor in the mountains, so I basically couldn’t see the collared device unless it was within 100 to 150m away, which isn’t really helpful.

    In a bigger urban area, more nodes didn’t help unless I was on the default channel, so same problem again, this timeline extra emf pollution.

    Meshtastic is a great idea, but use cases are really limited.

    Edit: sorry, I misread the question. I haven’t run into any docker containers that don’t run on incus, but my testing is limited.

    Well, I have run the homeassistant core docker, calibre web automated, and a bunch more.

    One just needs to add the docker https path to its repository and the rest is just translating the options to the way incus starts these. (Sorry, I can’t exactly remember what incus uses to run these containers.)

    Anyway, I can dig up some helpful documentation if you’re rally interested.

    I moved to incus from proxmox nearly 18 months ago and I haven’t looked back.
