Oisteink,

That’s not too easy methinks. You get kvm vm-s though gui/shell/api with proxmox, but no docker (they use lxc). Unless you set up a podman or similar inside it.

If you’re made of money there’s always www.vmware.com/…/vsphere-with-tanzu.html

Other than that I’d say go with a xen (xcp-ng). Proxmox or esxi host, and spin up a vm as docker host.

I ditched docker in my latest setup, just running 2 machines in a proxmox cluster. I like lxc - as it’s got the footprint of docker and behaves like a vm

[solved] Nginx proxy server - strange behavior

Hello fellow selfhosters! I changed my server OS from fedora server to alma linux as I wanted a more stable base with less frequent updates for my docker containers, so I backed everything up and installed almalinux. It all went smoothly, and now all the containers seem to work as before except for nginx proxy manager: on...

Oisteink,

As you can forward by ip but not by name it sounds like resolver issue.

Oisteink, (edited )

On the host of the nginx rev proxy or in nginx config files. Something seems to block the lookup from name to ip, as ip works you know the proxy works. Check dns config and nginx config on that host

Oisteink,

I think your best option would be a pi 4 compute for high speed bus. www.waveshare.com/cm4-nas-double-deck-c4a.htm

Oisteink,

Maybe firewalld are not the right firewall for your use case if you feel the need to remove “bloat” zones? Do they impact your firewall efficiency?

Can I pre-install Ubuntu on an SSD?

Ths might be a silly question, but asking those is how i learn sometimes. I’m trying to install my first Linux distro to set up a Plex server and one of the few things I know is you need a wired internet connection. My intended server location is across the house from my router, and there isnt much room there to set up...

Oisteink,

It’s still a misuse of the word - if your software needs testing it’s not a candidate you would release unless you’re a multi-billion gaming company or Cisco

Oisteink,

How would these recommendations be generated. Will you host for loads of people or just sit there with your single datapoint?

Oisteink,

Not sure where I’d put net- or open- in this, but I guess it’s meant to cover them all

What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal....

Oisteink,

In your case I fear there is no hope. Good luck though

Oisteink,

Any soup is good imo. Like Cauliflower soup with bacon and garlic bread. Meat/vegetable soup.

As a last resort drinking broth can work.

It’s about getting energy into your body so you can heal

Disclaimer: English is not my first language and I’m too tired and sick to look them all up

New to Linux, have a few questions

I currently use Windows 10 and I’d like to try out Linux. My plan is to set up a dual boot with OpenSUSE tumbleweed and KDE Plasma. I’ve read so many different opinions about choosing a distro, compatibility with gaming and Nvidia drivers, and personal issues with the ethos of different companies like Canonical. I value...

Oisteink,

That’s an even worse idea imo. If you’re not very familiar with bcd and grub you will find it hard to boot into Linux once windows decides to “fix the boot issue”.

Better to have a separate drive so you can select by picking boot device on startup.

I know it’s possible to dual boot, but it will be some issues at some point

Oisteink,

Or maybe they forgot to rinse off the soap when cleaning the cup?

Oisteink,

There’s very little similarity between the pictures. White is the 3rd biggest stack, but you can see it’s not dominant on the data.

To;dr it’s all lies

Oisteink,

“I keep having packages that are not updated when I run apt update; apt upgrade - no matter how many times I type it!!1!”

Oisteink,

Longest shower though I’ve seen for a while. While you seem somewhat clueless in what you talk about you manage to fit in many cool words. That’s a plus.

Oisteink,

Looking at Kenny most Linux users seems to be clueless fanboys

Oisteink,

Just move to EU - we’re getting side loading

Oisteink,

Without any reference it might as well be a twig. What’s the upper, middle and lower circumference or diameter in mm?

Oisteink,

Like with most technology, init should be based on use-case.

Some setups are not made for quick reboots and that’s ok. When all your container does is run ddclient you might find that even cron can work just as well as systemd.timers

Run command as not-root

Hi everyone

At work, I have to run a command in an AWS instance. In that particular instance only exists the root user. The command should not be executed with root privileges (it executes mpirun, which is not recommended to run as sudo or the machine might break), so I was wondering if there is a way to block or disable the sudo privileges while the command is running. As mentioned, the only user existing there is root, so I suppose "sudo -u" is not an option.

Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks in advance!

@linux

Oisteink,

Laziness sparks innovation, and there could possibly be some other way to drop privileges. There’s loads of stuff I learn about Linux still - and my first install was summer 94

Keep at it!

Oisteink,

There’s no way to run a command as another user if that user is not created.

linux.die.net/man/1/runuser

Edit:sudo is also an option but I like runuser for your use-case

Oisteink,

Linux privilege only understands user id’s and group id’s. These are mapped through /etc/passwd and /etc/groups. You will see in passwd that the root user has UID 0. Any account you create with UID 0 will have root privileges. So running the command specifying any user with UID!=0 will run without those privileges.

It’s also possible to set user on execution with setuid - but that won’t work on scripts only binary executables.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_identifier

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_identifier

Oisteink,

Read your other post and it seems to me that a rebuild of the system to accommodate non-root users would be my preferred solution. Trying to “work around“ issues like this are prone to break as the system is updated/changed. And you’re back to trying to figure out what’s changed and makes your script break.

Oisteink,

It’s expert friendly - but turns others away. vger.app helps a bit
