Comment on My Dream of a Home Router / Server
HelloRoot@lemy.lol 5 days agofree foss alternative, look at OMV
lol no. I used this one for a month and no.
It works but it has the most convoluted GUI possible. No backup system at all iirc. And running arbitrary containers was a nightmare that is not even integrated with the GUI.
I settled on dokploy.com

@MentalEdge @HelloRoot Yeah I think these are all part of the evolution - rather than the coming together of something that really would pick up mass adoption.MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 5 days ago
I don’t use docker via a GUI.
My backup solution is Kopia. Two servers, each running an instance that backs up local storage to the other.

OP is about solutions that include certain features out of the box in an easy to use package.
Rolling out a conglomorate of those features that you’ve manually set up and ducktaped together by hand is irrelevant. That could be done for many decades already.

I didn’t tho.
You’re confusing my homelab with my dads OMV NAS that is running kopia as its only non-standard service because I wanted to use it as my off-site target.

@MentalEdge @HelloRoot Yeah I'm really thinking about something that you could fling at a friend - maybe someone who setup their phone, home router, google home or amazon alexa - and they would come out at the end with something that resembles a working internet connection and online identity.

I don’t use either but they aren’t the same thing to suggest one is a substitute for the other. Omv has self hosting services that it installs for you. Dokploy is docker manager.

Dokploy has a web ui with a list of services where you click install and it installs them for you.

If doing more makes it better then regular docker desktop does that too. Or apt-get.
