May I ask a bit more?

Can you launch on system start up as opposed to user, yes in my experience.

Can you login when the machine has not yet been logged in, yes in my experience so long as the program is launched by the system as a service and not a user login option.

If the machine has multiple monitors, you may need to test, as I standardly use a phone (android) to remote to my desktop/laptop seveer environments where I can individually choose a monitor if they have more than 1 I believe, but having one screen on the phone, I don’t view both at the same time… nor would it be convenient…

It’s a free 2 minute try it out really. The uninstall if you don’t like. If you really like it maybe consider hosting your own. But otherwise you can use it from their severs for free and it will remember your recent connections and passwords if you want on your local device…

I feel like a salesperson for a free product lol

Exactly how I found it. Looking for open-source TeamViewer essentially.

Works very well for the tasks I throw at it. Hosting it yourself is easy as well

Yeah I suppose I should have said what I’ve used it for but I think I’ve only really used it for Android, Linux, and I think I may have put it on Windows once, not sure. Overall I run into few circumstances I’ve ever needed to go the machine, usually it’s tied to bios/driver issues on the laptop I use for a server, not Rust issues

I use RustDesk because it’s good enough. It may not work for everything, but it is open source and has suited my needs.

I have it launch on boot in Mint and it works fine

“Containers by design are suppose to be temporary and the runtime data is recreated each time the container is launched. The persistent data is all you should care for.”

So that’s really why they should be good for Jellyfin/File servers, as the data isn’t needing to be stored in container, just the run files. I suppose the config files as well.

When I reverse proxy to my network using wireguard (set up on the jellyfin server, I also think I have a rustdesk server on there) on the other hand, is it worth using a container, or is that just the same either way?

I have shoved way to many things on an old laptop, but I never have to touch it really, and the latest update mint put out actually cured any issues I had. I used to have to reboot once a week or so to get everything back online when it came to my Pihole and shit. Since the latest update I ran in September 4th, I haven’t touched it for anything. Screen just stays closed in a corner of my desk with other shit stacked on top

So let’s say I theoretically wanted to move a docker container to another device or maybe if I were re-installing an OS or moving to another distro, could I in theory drag my local docker container to an external and throw my device in a lake and pull that container off into the new device? If so … what then, I link the startups, or is there a “docker config” where they are all able to be linked and I can tell it which ones to launch on OS launch, User launch, delay or what not?

When you say binaries do you mean locally stored directories kind of like what Lutris or Steam would do for a Windows game. (Create a false c:\ )

For me it’s lack of understanding usually. I haven’t sat down and really learned what docker is/does. And when I tried to use it once I ended up with errors (thankfully they all seemed contained by the docker) but I just haven’t gotten around to looking more into than seeing suggestions to install say Pihole in it. Pretty sure I installed Pihole outside of one. Jellyfin outside, copyparty outside, and I something else im forgetting at the moment.

I was thinking of installing a chat app in one, but I put off that project because I got busy at work and it’s not something I normally use.

I guess I just haven’t been forced to see the upsides yet. But am always wanting to learn
