I have an old laptop that I want to turn into a server, but I want it to be as seamless as possible. I don’t have any knowledge in web hosting, so I’ll use whatever distribution makes it easiest.
Also willing to venture outside of Linux territory to try those NAS-like operating systems. I just want things to work.
I called it old, but the laptop in question actually has decent specs. I want to host a personal searx instance, a forum, nextcloud, and, well, I’d also like to run single-user fediverse instances but I heard that they’re very hard to manage and update so I’m still not sure about that.
checked out their website, and it seems great!
It is so easy.
It’s all built on slack so the core of it runs on potato.
The idea is you whack it on a USB and boot off that. All your drives become an array for UnRaid and you can easily generate a swarm of dockers or VMs to do whatever you want.
They have a massive catalog of docker apps ready to rock, including a WefWef Lemmy client!
