Why specifically Gentoo? Alpine looks more like the tool for this job.

Shimitar,

Because i am a long time Gentoo User and i feel like it’s perfect for the job. that’s what i use and i what i like

Interesting decision

Gentoo is a bit of a weird choice but maybe I am prejudiced from using it as a Desktop environment versus use as a server. But in any case, good to write this up.

Shimitar,

And by not using any docker, you can be 100% sure of what you are actually installing. instead of resorting to trust binaries somebody else put together in an opaque container.

Shimitar,

Why a weird choice? It’s lightweight and very secure since it doesn’t come with any useless services by default, and i mean it :)

probably just people who don’t want to bother with compiling everything would be my guess

It’s a bit of an uncommon distro for servers but it’s a fine choice. :)

TopDeckLurk,

I’ve seen a chunk of self hosting posts & this guide also looks awesome. Main issue right is hardware. I have a laptop from 2012 but it lacks USB 3.0 & I’m not sure if it could handle something like this. I’m quite excited to continue researching this & giving a shot though!

Shimitar,

Usb2 should work, its up to 30+ megabytes per second, enough for 1080p h264 streaming (6megabits per second).

Hardware is not keeping you from trying

It’s a great guide, thank you for sharing. No clue why everyone thinks Gentoo is a wrong choice for the job.

Doesn’t load over Tor right now?

Shimitar,

No idea. The page is up and it’s working from clear web anyway.

It does indeed not load via TOR

ancoraunamoka,

Fellow italian pirate here, using Gentoo for servers and laptop since 2014. Very interesting, thank you for sharing. Would love to have a chat someday

Shimitar,

Mandami un PM quando vuoi

Appears to be down now, getting 500 proxy error. If it matters, I’m on vpn, like any good sailor ought to be

Shimitar,

It might, at times, it’s behind a convoluted set of proxies of course.

in any case, seems to be working for me now. same pc, same vpn, same dns, connected via same vpn server. so no clue
