Ollama + open webui + tailscale/netbird

Open webui provides a fully functional docker with ollama, so just find the section that applies to you (amd, nvidia, etc) https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start-with-docker-

And on that host install netbird or Tailscale, install the same on your phone, in tailscale you need to enable magicdns but in netbird I think it provides dns by default.

Once the docker is running and both your server and phone are connected to the vpn (netbird or tailscale) you just type the dns of your server in your phone’s browser (in netbird it would be “yourserver.netbird.cloud” and in tailscale it would be “yourserver.yourtsnet.ts.net”)

Checkout networkchuck on youtube as he has a lot of simple tutorials.

There are a few reasons why someone might use Proxmox. It doesn’t have to be just security, it can also be different network architectures that don’t work as well in Docker and it can also be just greater control over the services which is less comfortable to do in Docker as it’s meant to have built images that are running and are ephemeral. There are also certain services that either don’t have a pre-built docker and someone might not want to bother with making their own docker infrastructure around it or have technologies that are not well supported or are not well executed in docker.

There is also the fact that Proxmox is meant to be used in production, which means that it’s more stable (than some casual docker rubning on whatever distro they have) and it does have a very low overhead, even if you do use dockers you can use them within Proxmox and it gives you a lot of capabilities that add to stability and manageability.

Generally speaking if your threat model is very small, you’re running this within your private network, and it’s not exposed to the internet or anything large like that, then it doesn’t really make a big difference and you should probably just use whatever is comfortable for you.

I personally moved to Proxmox for three reasons which are security, customizability and stability. I felt that within Docker containers it was a lot more annoying to have to pull the images and make my own Docker files and update them and build them every time. I find it easier to have my own server with its dedicated service and that I know how to update and how to modify more properly and that I built from scratch. There is also the advantage that I can use whatever OS I want for different situations. Of course I personally use exclusively Linux but even within that I can use different distros and I can have all kinds of different services running without interfering with one another in any way, and in extreme cases I can have a windows vm.

And another major factor for me was that I just wanted to learn how to do it. I think it’s cool and it was interesting and I have already experienced Docker to a level that I felt comfortable with it and it was time to move on and expand my horizons.

The title made me think they added a palestinian flag

Tip, if you have the room for it, looking for second hand servers (as in actual servers with server hardware) is often really useful.

As you start hosting more stuff you realize that ram and cpu cores are very limited in consumer hardware. With a shitty second hand server you could have more cores and more ram than anything in the consumer category, and you can stick an old GPU on it if you want some better media performance.

But if you truly believe that you won’t spread out and that potentially 64gb ram and 8 cores will suffice, just go ahead and build it however you want. It is no different from a regular build. Get a nice ssd, get a wired ethernet connection and you are like 90% of the way there.

Edit: everyone else is giving much better advice, ignore my overkill here. For media and simple game servers with a low energy consumption target you are probably better off with a mini pc with an integrated gpu or if you want to future proof a bit, maybe one of those unified memory ones where you ram is also the vram and can produce pretty good performance.

Okay Smartypants, I’m talking about the USA, not some peaceful country that only defends itself.

As a spaceship owner, they suck. They are bulky and annoying.

Yes, that is like being a pacifist but investing in weapon manufacturers. It is easy money and it is attractive, but it is wrong and by making money off of it you become part of it.

Only tailscale fpr vpn and backblaze for backup

Are you urine? Cuz pee my heart

If you drive in a 25 miles per gallon vehicle (pretty standard) you will burn the equivalent of 1100 calories per mile. Assuming an active person who rides their bike a lot eats around 2500 calories a day, and they ride to work every day, and they live 5 miles away. In the car you would burn about 11,000 calories a day, in the bike you would never burn more than 2,500 and that ignores the fact that actually most of those calories have nothing to do with the biking.

Also, one year of an average American driving (around 14,000 miles) would have the equivalent calories of giving 16,000 people a proper meal.

This might sound weird but this is an honest to god scientific diy test.

Go to your shower, switch the head to high pressure mode, spread your cheeks and see what happens.

The short answer is that the sphincter (asshole closing muscle) is really good at it’s job, which makes sense when you consider that even pretty loose poop can be held back for hours while gravity does it’s best to pull it out. So your sphincter is pretty strong and can handle some significant pressure, much more than your lips, so if you can keep the water from entering your mouth, your butt is fine.

Pretty sure I can beat her in a fight. Not so powerful now, are we??

I can’t wait for WWIII to start because of a corrupt pedophile and not the 10 political wars and genocides going on right now.

Imo, if you are not in a hurry, wait a bit.

I knew I wanted one since about your age, I waited about 4 years until I realized that nothing is changing and I went ahead.

But I’m glad I waited because I now feel very at peace with it and I don’t feel the need to explain it to others.

When my family said that I will change my mind I just ignored them because it felt so meaningless when I already know I wanted this for so many years.

Just remember that it is mostly permanent, there is no guarantee that you can reverse it.

Good luck!

As far as societal norms go, a 9/10.

As far as actually being unhealthy? Depends. If this is a sex positive, giving you the tools you need, and being supportive type of thing, i would say this is unconventional but healthy. If it’s some sort of personal involvement or insertion into your sex life, I would say this is very unhealthy.

Your mom getting involved in any sort of sexual topic can be really uncomfortable, but that doesn’t make it wrong, it just needs to be in a healthy, mature, and appropriate way.

Interesting, thanks!

I have heard of situations where companies refuse voip numbers for authentication or critical services, and i can’t risk my number getting flagged as it is sadly a critical part of your online identity these days (fucking hate that)

I need it to be my number and to not be flagged as a bot, so commercial voip is a no go

I have wifi, I don’t need data
