Sometimes I just want the thing.

I stuck a rPi in their houses that runs pihole+nginx+tailscale. As far as they’re concerned they go to https://jellyfin.example.domain/ and they’re there.
Better yet, they go to http://homarr.notlocal/ and they have nice little icons to click on, that take them to all the front-end services I run.
They get pihole goodness for free. Their homepage is attached to their pihole if they want to pause/stop it.
I’d like to set them up to be more declarative than I have, setup/updating is a pain. Nix is interesting but the learning curve is too steep for the effort I’m willing to put in. As per usual, being lazy will end up being more work for me in the long run.

Fine, I’ll be the low bar.
Proxmox, I just use the GUI to update
I use community-scripts almost exclusively. Community-scripts cron lxc updater does the heavy lifting.
pct enter [lxc]updatedoes a bunch of work too.
For Docker, I use a couple lxcs with Dockge on it, the “update” button takes me most of the rest of the way.
Finally, I have a couple remote machines [diet-pi]. I haven’t figured out updating over tailscale yet, so I just go round semi frequently for the
apt update && apt upgrade -yVMs get the
apt update && apt upgrade -ytoo. I keep a bare bones mint VM as a virtual laptop, as I don’t have one. I’ll do what I need to do and if I had to install software I’ll just nuke the VM and go again from the bare bones template.

Going into spring/summer that’s ideal, I wanna go places do things. Mid winter, I’m feature creeping till something breaks.
Harris could have stood in the middle of 5th avenue, and shot someone, and still not lost some people’s vote.
I went rpi4>n100> a couple n100s and that pi> the dxp4800, I think it’s a pentium, and those n100s. I think I’m ok here, I have networking, compute + local backup, and storage all in their own box.
