Well, i decided to brush up my simple HTML page and created a fully linked wiki on the subject. Please take a look, in the hope it will be useful for at least one fellow one-eyed leg-pegged passionate data hoarder.
Any hints or suggestions is appreciated.
Why specifically Gentoo? Alpine looks more like the tool for this job.
Because i am a long time Gentoo User and i feel like it’s perfect for the job. that’s what i use and i what i like
Interesting decision
It’s a great guide, thank you for sharing. No clue why everyone thinks Gentoo is a wrong choice for the job.
Gentoo is a bit of a weird choice but maybe I am prejudiced from using it as a Desktop environment versus use as a server. But in any case, good to write this up.
And by not using any docker, you can be 100% sure of what you are actually installing. instead of resorting to trust binaries somebody else put together in an opaque container.
Why a weird choice? It’s lightweight and very secure since it doesn’t come with any useless services by default, and i mean it :)
It’s a bit of an uncommon distro for servers but it’s a fine choice. :)
probably just people who don’t want to bother with compiling everything would be my guess
I’ve seen a chunk of self hosting posts & this guide also looks awesome. Main issue right is hardware. I have a laptop from 2012 but it lacks USB 3.0 & I’m not sure if it could handle something like this. I’m quite excited to continue researching this & giving a shot though!
Usb2 should work, its up to 30+ megabytes per second, enough for 1080p h264 streaming (6megabits per second).
Hardware is not keeping you from trying
Doesn’t load over Tor right now?
No idea. The page is up and it’s working from clear web anyway.
It does indeed not load via TOR
Now it does. Maybe I got lucky.
Appears to be down now, getting 500 proxy error. If it matters, I’m on vpn, like any good sailor ought to be
It might, at times, it’s behind a convoluted set of proxies of course.
in any case, seems to be working for me now. same pc, same vpn, same dns, connected via same vpn server. so no clue
Fellow italian pirate here, using Gentoo for servers and laptop since 2014. Very interesting, thank you for sharing. Would love to have a chat someday
