  • I use a different ‘type 1’ hypervisor, create a small handful of VMs and then have a mess of containers inside containers in a couple of those. There’s a distinct VM for email since that has so many special requirements that it was just easier, one lxc/incus container host for admin tools, one for user apps, one for piefed because all these fediverse apps are so busy with the constant exchanges it kind of needs its own host to not affect others…

    Why is more a case of ease of administration frankly. Pretty much everything gets auto patched and backed up and it’s easy to put up a new service or restore things if I hose something up.

    The structure though has been a years long evolution that started out as ‘I just want a NAS to share files’ which then needed a frontend to make it more user friendly, and another app to play videos, and why not organize different file types rather than just dump em in a folder…
