Oh good. Ubuntu server and docker are being a real learning experience which while I appreciate I would prefer a bit of hand holding from my os

Oh wonderful, it’s an old pc my job was throwing out last summer so it’s like a 5-8yo intel. It’s not powerful by any means, but if I can run enough on it to justify the standby power draw it would be great.
Unfortunately I still have no idea wtf I’m doing lol, but worst case I break it all and wind up buying a home assistant green. I’ve committed to ensuring my home has good air and this is a project I think we’ll appreciate me following through with
Ooh, do you know if it can work on an old pc being repurposed as a server? I’m very new to all this
What’s proxmox?
Ooh I guess I should try again to see if I can get the os on my spare computer
Fucking hell I tried installing Debian and it didn’t even see the boot media…
Now to see if home assistant running in the background of my small kubuntu will work…
Ok, it looks like I’m setting up Debian today and seeing if I can get a virtual machine in the background. I wanted this to be an easy way to dip my toes into self hosting…
Ok, is there a different haos I should download to put on my machine? Idk how to use docker and the machine is formatted aside from following the haos on x86 instructions from the website
In my router or on the machine? I’ve tried on the machine, but it didn’t work
Yeah I do
How do I get the CLI to let me ping without interpreting it as “ha ping” ?
Yes, I was able to access it from my desktop while it still says the error (initial attempt was Sunday, also attempted Tuesday)
Thank you.
My desktop can access ghcr.io (assuming it’s supposed to return GitHub).
I don’t know how to ping from cli on haos. (It autofills the ha command)
I’m connecting over Ethernet using the same cable and connections that did work when kubuntu was on it
No i followed the x86 instructions from the website, so I was using an Ubuntu (ok I deviated to kubuntu because I wanted a drive with it anyways) flash drive to run disks to put the os on the internal ssd from the link found here
Ok I’m going to sound like an idiot but this is my first doing of anything with any servers, so I apologize if I’m missing something obvious. What command should I use with it? I typed it in alone just in case and got an unknown command
Only Seeger’s version but it rings in my head every time they come up
Absolutely but my attitude eventually shifted to “this is a small Internet forum, you want to be a jackass do so elsewhere.” I always tried to find a form of balance because I did care about the users. But the balance did rely on gut feelings, perception, and how willing to put up with your shit I was. I spent most of my 20s doing this shit and yeah it feels wrong to say “if you’re a rude asshole in response to a mod decision you don’t like you’re less likely to get a favorable response” but also yeah the time it took to read an essay berating me was time I could spend on literally anything other than helping the person who wrote it and I did the thing of giving even those people the benefit of the doubt every time and turns out it was a waste of time because further investigation tended to reveal that the person was either a troll, an asshole who had a net negative impact on the community and a tenuous grasp on the rules, or someone unstable enough that they didn’t need a forum, they needed a support group with professional oversight.
But yeah when someone messaged me that one of the mods had been saying things that were inappropriate for a moderator of that community to say I spent months helping oust them and she and I are now actual friends.
I’ll also add that good moderation was a challenge because in my experience there’s four kinds of people who moderate: people who recognize it as a volunteer hobby and maintain an external life, people on a crusade, people who do their best but aren’t doing good mentally and probably need to be making major life changes, and bright eyed idealists. The first are what you want and the rarest, the second are a problem that you have to weed out because they become petty tyrants, the third can be ok or can be petty tyrants, and the fourth are the most common and they burn out in a month to three or rarely become one of the others. It’s hard to tell who will be which.
Yeah but breakaway communities existed then. Underscore, rename, different order… all this shit was there. You can have the same name now which is cool, but you always could have something close. It’s the community and users people care about and starting a new one is a pain in the ass
Well the good news is I know now that my problem continues. Idk why haos couldn’t ping GitHub and proxmox can’t ping 8.8.8.8, while ubuntu server freely accessed docker, but at least I know I’m not crazy in this way
