I know for many of us every day is selfhosting day, but I liked the alliteration. Or do you have fixed dates for maintenance and tinkering?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

This post is proudly sent from my very own Lemmy instance that runs at my homeserver since about ten days. So far, it's been a very nice endeavor.

Total noob to Docker (desktop for windows) and I'm just trying to figure out how (and where) to add a config to my Navidrome image or change lines on the image itself, to point it to my music library and create admin login credentials (ಥ﹏ಥ) If I can accomplish that then I eventually want to try Immich or NextCloud afterward.

I want to switch to Linux but I'm not sure where to start! I want to

play current-gen games (graphically speaking) on steam, as well as
lots of retro games with Launchbox/RetroArch
do 3D modeling in blender, and
produce music in a free DAW.

I don't know if any of those factors impose restrictions due to software/hardware differences (or if that even makes a difference), but I want to move over everything I can into a linux environment

All of those should be fine, the main caveats w/ Linux are:

anti-cheat games generally don't work - there are exceptions, and this is a limitation by the developer, not Linux
Windows-only software can be iffy - e.g. photoshop and whatnot
using an NTFS drive on Linux can have surprises - don't mount your game lib on Linux, just redownload

Blender works perfectly fine, gaming on Steam and Heroic works well, emulators work well, and while I don't know anything about Linux music production, I know there are software options available.

Anyway, I recommend buying a separate disk and trying Linux out. That way you don't touch your current Windows install while messing w/ stuff.

Good to know, thank you for the tips!
