alt Hacker NewsMaybe my needs are simpler. But I just made do with systemd services and apt (debian). I've also setup Incus for the occasional software testing and playing around. After using OpenBSD as a daily driver, I'm more keen with creating a native package for the OS/Distro than wrangling docker compose files.
Yea, it's always weird to see people say "I'm simplifying my life and reducing my cloud dependencies by running a homelab and self-hosting!" and then they list the dozens of alphabet soup software they're running on it that they're now relying/depending on. "Oh I run 20 VMs and containers and Docker orchestration and Nextcloud and Syncthing and Jellyfin and Plex and Forgejo and Komodo and Home Assistant and Immich and Trilium and Audiobookshelf and another Nextcloud and This Stack and That Pipeline" and oh my god haven't you really just made your computing even worse?
My "homelab" is basically Linux + NFS, with standard development tools.
