Sounds like you want a clustered filesystem like gpfs, ceph or gluster.

If something you’re running has a memory leak then it doesn’t matter how much RAM you have.
You can try adding memory limits to your containers to see if that limits the splash damage. That’s to say you would hopefully see only one container (the bad one) dying.

I love todo-txt! As a heavy cli user it’s the quickest and easiest to use todo “system” I’ve found.
- Comment on Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP 1 week ago:
To provide a bit more detail then - you would setup your proxy with DNS entries “foo.example.com” as well as “bar.example.com” and whatever other sub-domains you want pointing to it. So your single IP address has multiple domain names.
Then your web browser connects to the proxy and makes a request to that server that looks like this:
GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: foo.example.com
nginx (or apache, or other reverse proxies) will then know that the request is specifically for “foo.example.com” even though they all point to the same computer. It then forwards the request to whatever you want on your own network and acts as a go-between between the browser and your service. This is often called something like host-based routing or virtual-domains.
In this scenario the proxy is also the SSL endpoint and would be configured with HTTPS and a certificate that verifies that it is the source for foo.example.com, bar.example.com, etc.
- Comment on Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP 1 week ago:
Nginx isn’t for security it’s to allow hostname-based proxying so that your single IP address can serve multiple backend services.
- Comment on Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP 1 week ago:
You’re not “broadcasting” anything. You’re running a server.
Your browser is the thing sending your ip to every site you visit. And beyond simple geolocation data it’s not that useful to anybody.
- Comment on Reverse proxy 1 week ago:
The reverse proxy is going to have a config that says “for hostname ‘foo’ I should forward traffic to foo.example.com:port”.
If you setup the rproxy at home then ssh just needs to forward all port 443 traffic to the rproxy. It doesn’t care about hostnames. The rproxy will then get a request with the hostname in the data and forward it to the appropriate target on behalf of the requester.
If you setup the rproxy at the vps then yes - you would need to forward different ports to each backend target. This is because the rproxy would need to direct traffic to each target individually. And if your target is “localhost” (because that’s where the ssh endpoint is) then you would differentiate each backend by port.

That’s basically it. Definitely “not for me” either but some people like GUIs on these things.

Or streaming to a device that doesn’t support your encoding. Something like an android tv that isn’t as flexible and may need on the fly transcoding. You can be careful to select a well supported encoding on the server if needed.
- Comment on Remote access in a country with heavy cencorship 2 weeks ago:
SSH port forwarding is quite hand. You can have SSH setup a SOCKS proxy that you can use to send your browser traffic through the tunnel as well.
- Comment on Remote access in a country with heavy cencorship 2 weeks ago:
Interesting - I had not. It was ages ago I was doing something like what I posted (well before that project ever got started) and it worked “well enough” for what I was doing at the time. Usually I’d run a SOCKS proxy on that second SSH line (-D 4444) and just point my browser at localhost:4444 to route everything home (or use foxyproxy to only route some traffic home).
Looks like sshuttle may have better performance though and provide similar functionality.
- Comment on Remote access in a country with heavy cencorship 2 weeks ago:
Can you ssh out? You could setup a VPS somewhere and use remote port forwarding to tunnel back home.
ssh -R 80:localhost:80 user@vps # forward HTTP traffic from remote host to the local host
You can even run ssh over an ssh tunnel for inceptiony goodness.
ssh -R 2222:localhost:22 user@vps # your home system ssh --port 2222 homeuser@vps # From your remote system

Wireguard doesn’t obfuscate its traffic so non-standard ports may not help depending on how sophisticated the blocking is (they could recognize the protocol and block your traffic regardless of port).
- Comment on Routeable Loopback Addresses 3 weeks ago:
That seems like a terrible idea.
Why not just assign multiple IPs to eth0 instead?

Insects and Other Animals Have Consciousness, Experts Declare | Quanta Magazine
There’s “a realistic possibility” that insects, octopuses, crustaceans, fish and other overlooked animals experience consciousness.
There’s a special place in hell for title writers.

What do you think “big corps” are doing with your IP address?
- Comment on Help with music library setup 4 weeks ago:
I’m not familiar with MediaMonkey so this may not be an option but…
I’ve used Subsonic for a number of years as my streaming server. I don’t use tools to manage my files but one of the things I really like about Subsonic is that it will present the local file system structure to the clients (rather than only relying on ID3 tags). So if I create a directory called “1990s” it will show up in the Subsonic hierarchy (eventually - it scans periodically for new files).
I’m assuming you could use MediaMonkey to manage the files on your NAS over NFS? Then Subsonic could just read the filesystem over NFS as well and serve what you have setup.
Subsonic clients offer the option to cache files or stream as well which is great for traveling.

“30 times closer than the Moon” 🙄
Around 12 thousand miles (19.3 thousand kilometers).
- Comment on Car-size asteroid discovered 2 days ago flies 30 times closer to Earth than the moon 4 weeks ago:
This means it’s an asteroid with a weight-class that would have burned up in Earth’s atmosphere, if its orbit happened to intersect ours more directly.
- Comment on I dockerized my Nextcloud 5 weeks ago:
No, it’s confusing. Because some people do use VMs. So it makes it far less clear about what a person’s setup is.
An application running in a container runs exactly the same as a non-container application. It uses the same kernel. And it all runs directly on the CPU. There is no metal/non-metal distinction to make. People just say it because it “sounds cool”. And there are a lot of people in this community who don’t understand what containers are. So it further muddies the water
- Comment on I dockerized my Nextcloud 5 weeks ago:
Either way its pretty stupid to use it in reference to containers.
- Comment on I dockerized my Nextcloud 5 weeks ago:
No. The phrase means that you’re not running in a virtual machine.

The second sentence implies otherwise.
