Currently all containerised running on a debian VM on a Rockylinux Qemu/KVM hypervisor. Initially I was using rocky+podman but inevitably hit something I wanted to run that just straight up needed docker and was too much effort to try and get working. 🤷

Hardware is an circa 2012 gaming machine with a few ZFS raids for all of my Linux ISOs. It lives an extremely tortured existence and longs for the sweet release of death.

Toying with the idea of migrating it all to on-prem virtualised kubernetes cluster using helm charts to manage the stacks and using NFS mounts for persistent storage because I hate myself (and to upskill I guess)

What about you?

Proxmox host. Fedora server vm.

openvpn as a backup (and because i went through the highly laborious process of setting it up)
wireguard
nitter (twitter alternative frontend. makes twitter usable)
audiobookshelf (podcast manager)
pihole (block ads by dns)
nginx for my website and some related website stuff
Vaultwarden (sometimes. I usually keep it off because I prefer KeepassXC anyway)

The hardware is a 10 year old Thinkpad. I think it's pretty clear by my software list that I don't ask it to do much, but it does so much for me. Like, I wouldn't run Jellyfin off of this thing. In fact my NAS is 4x8TB drives but I keep it mostly shut off. It's powered on maybe about once or twice a week for a few hours at a time. I try to batch my activity with it. Like "oh, yeah, I want file X but it's on my NAS. Maybe later, when I have a need for file Y I will turn it on and retrieve both."

I can achieve everything I want with even lower spec hardware, but this Thinkpad has a faulty trackpad anyway, which is also how I got it for cheap. I have never measured it, but supposedly it consumes around 6W at idle which is low enough for me.
