A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'd expected this but it still sucks.

Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. I've just found LXD to be lacking as you can't live transfer it to a different host. It is also slower than Docker and Podman and I was unable to get docker running in a unprivileged LXC container. I think it should be possible to run docker in LXC but by the time I spend the effort is is more secure and easier to use a full virtual machine.

Maybe I should revisit the idea though as it seems like many people stand by it.

It isn't lacking... https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/docs/main/howto/move_instances/#move-instances but as with Proxmox there are details when it comes to containers. VMs can fully migrate live.

What host OS are you running on? Did you set security.nesting true on said container?

I probably just set it up wrong.
