  • A part of it is concern.

    System administration on a system you’re planning to use remotely over the internet must be done right. Not being sure what you’re doing is how we all learn, but you really should be sure before exposing yourself to the internet.

    It’s not like experimenting with linux on a laptop. Self-hosting is usually about providing some sort of service for yourself, which if accessed by someone malicious, can be used to really hurt you.

    I didn’t tho.

    You’re confusing my homelab with my dads OMV NAS that is running kopia as its only non-standard service because I wanted to use it as my off-site target.

    I wasn’t presenting OMV as the solution to all of OPs examples, I literally just commented to point out “hey this is kinda like hexos but foss”.

    To which you responded “lol no, there is no comparison”. Which is both untrue, and a rude way to go about saying anything.


  • I don’t use docker via a GUI. And I don’t run docker at all on the NAS running OMV.

    My backup solution is Kopia. Two servers, each running an instance that backs up local storage to the other.

    OP isn’t talking about a full homelab. If all you need is a home VPN and some network storage via SMB, OMV is fine.

    For my homelab, OMV would be clunky af. For the NAS at my dad’s end, it’s ideal.
