yunohost is good at being set and forget for RPis that sit unused. I still haven’t got around to setting up paperless-ngx but I’ve done the rest and it is useful…
Now don’t ask me how long it’s been since I said I’d set up a NAS
as a linux enthusiast and server hosting nerd myself. I bought like 400 dollars of hardware, installed fedora on it, immediately proceeded to not like fedora very much. And then it sat for about six months. On a whim i heard about debian 12 releasing, which had a new enough kernel for proper QSV support on modern intel and i immediately set it up in about a week or two, now using containers and relatively well organized file structures.
This is why I setup proxmox, makes messing with different distros very easy when they’re VMs
proxmox seems cool, i’m more of a primitive guy myself though. Putting as little between me and my software running makes shit like the ESXI or EXSI whatever the fuck that stupid software is called a none problem.
It’s less of a problem with open source stuff, but it can still go dead, and have weird feature changes, so meh.
