Ollama + open webui + tailscale/netbird

Open webui provides a fully functional docker with ollama, so just find the section that applies to you (amd, nvidia, etc) https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start-with-docker-

And on that host install netbird or Tailscale, install the same on your phone, in tailscale you need to enable magicdns but in netbird I think it provides dns by default.

Once the docker is running and both your server and phone are connected to the vpn (netbird or tailscale) you just type the dns of your server in your phone’s browser (in netbird it would be “yourserver.netbird.cloud” and in tailscale it would be “yourserver.yourtsnet.ts.net”)

Just one time I want someone to write a love letter to some old technology and for it to just be an actual love letter and just like some psycho who is literally in love with some protocol and they’re like talking about how hot the protocol is and how they wish they could just fuck it. Is that too much to ask?

There are a few reasons why someone might use Proxmox. It doesn’t have to be just security, it can also be different network architectures that don’t work as well in Docker and it can also be just greater control over the services which is less comfortable to do in Docker as it’s meant to have built images that are running and are ephemeral. There are also certain services that either don’t have a pre-built docker and someone might not want to bother with making their own docker infrastructure around it or have technologies that are not well supported or are not well executed in docker.

There is also the fact that Proxmox is meant to be used in production, which means that it’s more stable (than some casual docker rubning on whatever distro they have) and it does have a very low overhead, even if you do use dockers you can use them within Proxmox and it gives you a lot of capabilities that add to stability and manageability.

Generally speaking if your threat model is very small, you’re running this within your private network, and it’s not exposed to the internet or anything large like that, then it doesn’t really make a big difference and you should probably just use whatever is comfortable for you.

I personally moved to Proxmox for three reasons which are security, customizability and stability. I felt that within Docker containers it was a lot more annoying to have to pull the images and make my own Docker files and update them and build them every time. I find it easier to have my own server with its dedicated service and that I know how to update and how to modify more properly and that I built from scratch. There is also the advantage that I can use whatever OS I want for different situations. Of course I personally use exclusively Linux but even within that I can use different distros and I can have all kinds of different services running without interfering with one another in any way, and in extreme cases I can have a windows vm.

And another major factor for me was that I just wanted to learn how to do it. I think it’s cool and it was interesting and I have already experienced Docker to a level that I felt comfortable with it and it was time to move on and expand my horizons.

My method has always been the same, it it always works eventually.

When my devices go against my will, I lean real close and whisper “I’m gonna fucking disconnect you and then throw you in a river” and usually after a few hours of threats I get what I want. I guess the debugging and manual reading and whatnot does help a bit, but I suspect it is mostly the fear that fixes the issues.

My arch only breaks when I (unknowingly) tell it to.

Change “dad” to “they” and it makes perfect sense (the family is the casino owners)

Not yet, but I think we might see age reversal drugs in the not so far future.

It’s once in a lifetime because by the end of it you aged like 80 years

Question: how does one not doxx them selves when mapping their local area? Or is it not an issue because you don’t really provide any info past that?

IT IS MY RIGHT!

Why are you so skeptical? I could spend 40 years doing:

• hikes
• walks in nature
• camping
• volunteer work
• going to the beach
• reading
• doing diy projects
• helping others
• learning new things
• exploring my country
• etc

There is so much more to life than work and paid services.

And yes, this is a privileged position, but that doesn’t make it wrong.

65% of your spendings, addmittedly this question is mostly relevant to people that spend at least a somewhat above the median, where they can reduce their lifestyle by 35% and still live, just frugally.

I’m not sure what you mean by significant hobbies, but personally with the exception of one, all of my hobbies are cheap/free.

Tip, if you have the room for it, looking for second hand servers (as in actual servers with server hardware) is often really useful.

As you start hosting more stuff you realize that ram and cpu cores are very limited in consumer hardware. With a shitty second hand server you could have more cores and more ram than anything in the consumer category, and you can stick an old GPU on it if you want some better media performance.

But if you truly believe that you won’t spread out and that potentially 64gb ram and 8 cores will suffice, just go ahead and build it however you want. It is no different from a regular build. Get a nice ssd, get a wired ethernet connection and you are like 90% of the way there.

Edit: everyone else is giving much better advice, ignore my overkill here. For media and simple game servers with a low energy consumption target you are probably better off with a mini pc with an integrated gpu or if you want to future proof a bit, maybe one of those unified memory ones where you ram is also the vram and can produce pretty good performance.

Both. I always have been and probably always will be easily terrified with horror media.
