  • Honestly the best thing to do is just start trying things and don’t only rely on your own stuff until you have a good understanding.

    Just get an old computer and install an os you want to learn, worst case you break it and reinstall.

    I suggest proxmox since you can lean on community scripts and can backup and restore any containers pretty easily if needed.

    But as with anything don’t go in expecting to be perfect, just get started, break some eggs and learn from mistakes. You will learn what you like about it, what you would change and you can burn it all down and start again if you want as well.



















  • So, one thing that’s not clear here. Is the server and your desktop both at the same location? If they are I see no reason why you couldn’t just leave all the files on the server, have an NFS or Samba share then just stop it on the server and start it (over the network share) on your desktop. It would be functionally seamless, would require no effort to keep the files in sync, and would ensure your running things in the box you want.


  • Ha indeed, every room in the house is getting 2 faceplates (on roughly opposite sides of the room) with 4 Ethernet that runs each back to the server rack. Is every room having 8 runs right back to the switch excessive, you bet.

    In my old place I had one faceplate with 2 ethernet, coax and phone to each room, but phone and coax is useless and I didn’t have enough Ethernet.
