  • Well my first reply is: setting up yor own router is like to learn driving with a touring car. You just need to know a lot to set up/handle everything properly. Its just not easy and in m opinion the most wrong point to start.

    DNS-wise I would like to recommend something like pihole. To me it was my first thing I installed and used until this day and also the handling of DNS is quite easy. Maybe you should consider lerning other things before setting up your own router.



  • I use Trilium and I like it. The first thing I would like to mention: Trilium is stale and there is Trilium Next the official successor… More or less… If you choose to try, start with the one that is still in development.

    But to be fair, I does not use it as I wanted to. My plan was to use it completly with markdown but I am to dumb or ignorant to do it right. So I simply use the wysiwig style integration to style my texts.

    I will watch a video that shows me how to properly use markdown in there.

    On the other hand, actually I think about switching to some AsciiDoc Notes/Wiki stuff. Simply because I like the way AsciiDoc works…

    And the last to mention: I have no experience with Authelia.









  • When possible JetBrains IDEs. The downside of this: other (has not tested that much to be honest) IDEs can feel like better text editors or outdated IDEs…

    Why: They feel like every important aspect of development is thought through and covered in a good to very good manner or there is an addon for the missing aspect. The stable version almost never has any problems…

    I think thats it.



  • You could create a fresh container, install docker, and create a new template image from it. This way the overhead of installing disapears. The overhead in resource usage for each docker installation would remain the same as before.

    As mentioned in another reply, you could run several container in one lxc. For example with docker compose or podman. Since I have no experience with podman but with docker compose, docker compose is pretty simple.

    But all in all, I prefer to install everything “bare metal” in lxc containers. The main reason is, I don’t want to mess around with the extra layer of configurating ports etc.


  • Just to throw another option in: Lxc are containers too. And they are the other major option proxmox comes with.

    It feels more like bare metal installations, but are more lightweight and share there ressources they do not use.

    I never got why having Proxmox and one VM with several docker containers except I absolutly don’t want to deal with installations at all.

    On the other hands I wanted to learn about linux and the basics of handling proxmox.

    I have something to read for you :

    My Request

    It is a request of me from earlier this year. The boards I mention in the opening post are no good choice. But the Asrock J500x or J5040 (the one I picked in the end) are. For my needs it is enough of everything. Even if some users here think the celerons are “heaters that can do math” ^^

    On the other hand, the cpu is soldered to the board. No upgrade without switching the board either… Even the SODIMM ram needs to be replaced when switching away from an itx-board…

    On the other hand, it is less energy consuming than using an old desktop cpu etc.

    The pico-psu is just sweet 😊

    Edit: fixed link


  • At the moment I do exactly that. Learn proxmox, omv, influxDB and tomorrow grafana comes around to play 😉

    Nevertheless proxmox and omv are the difficult ones if you never used a hypervisor before. And my toughest lesson was: software raid is pretty slow. This took quiet some time to realise that this was the problem.

    But it is great to have a hypervisor to play around with, test different things in containers or vms and if you mess things up, just spin up another in a few seconds and try it again. It just feels less impactfull than reinstalling all stuff on one machine.

    And you learn a lot about networks along the way if you aren’t already familliar with it.



  • Thank you for your answer. the picoPSU is the next point that causes headaches. I have two questions about the pico.

    How to calculate how much energy is needed without knowing how much the board needs? My actual HDDs and planed parts are:

    • 2x 6TB WD Red WD60EFAX -> and I found the use 5.3W under load what means even with four of them they only need 21,2W
    • a NVME like the WD Blue SN570 with max consumption of 3,75W
    • a fan (maybe an be quiet! Silent Wings 4 PWM 120mm) for the case with round about 4W by max Speed sums up to 27,95W But the information about the power consumption for the board is missing.

    It seems like a 80 watts picoPSU should be sufficent. What I don’t understand is, how can I supply the power with this psu when it is a 24-pin ATX but the board needs only 4-Pin-ATX?
