This runs a combination of both. Been using this for years and works like magic

IMO best newsletter for self hosting. Lots of stuff and updates on updates. Very good.

Second Zabbix. Been using it for years and it just works.

Started with Mandrake a long time ago and when it went away turned to Ubuntu and have stuck with it ever since. Surprised no one mentioned LTS (long time support) which I think is 5 years. This means for servers you don’t have to worry about frequent upgrades (think fedora) and for desktops my setup stays stable for a good while.

I try other disros in VMs just to try sexier stuff but for production stick to Ubuntu.

I often see wireguard and adguard or pihole mentioned. There’s a service that provides a combination of wireguard and pihole in 1 docker compose file and has a web interface for wireguard clients (wgeasy) called wirehole. Been using our for 2 years or so, very happy with it.

In my opinion the most elegant solution for an ad blocking VPN.

Why not try docker rootless? Been using it for 2 years and does everything docker does.

Agree Magicearth not so accurate on traffic info. But my biggest problem with Google is that it focuses so much on commercial info that takes most of the map’s real estate (shops, stores, malls, etc) ,which it’s not usually what I’m looking for, that it causes some kind of allergic reaction.

Magic is great, better than Google, for navigation and clarity in directions and graphically much more appropriate to driving.
