So CosmOS does run through Compose files, but it makes them on the fly and gives you a moment before runtime to review it and make any changes.
Am I understanding right that your idea here is to put the Volumes on the NFS share and run through that, as opposed to having the data outside of a Volume just sitting on an NFS Mount?
I’m still early enough in that if something’s wrong or not ideal about the config, I can go scorched earth and have the whole thing back up and running in an hour or two.
Is there a better filesystem that I could share out for this kind of thing? My RAID Array is run through OpenMediaVault if that helps.
That tracks with my experience as well. I’ve been trying to get a system set up where the OS and Docker live on a small disk by themselves, and then go out to the larger RAID Array to load its data. But it’s sounding like that’s not really going to work the way I want to (probably why it’s crashed on me so many times, too).
So I have a 2TB nVME for VM Host Disks, and a 72TB RAID Array on my server. My hope is to have the OS and Docker on the 32GB drive I set up for the VM (which lives on the nVME), and then all the files related to the webapps live in a folder on RAID Array in a section meant just for that.
But the other responses in this thread make me think that’s not really going to be an option. Maybe I could make a very large VM Host Disk and put it on the RAID Array, let Docker just forget about the mount points entirely…
Honestly, this is the point where I’d just make a new VM and manually migrate what I need to
Hyper-V will work with physical disk, but be warned - the wizard you run through when making a VM will make it look like you give the VM a VHD file for storage or nothing. Just attach no storage to the VM initially, then go into the VM settings after the wizard is complete to attach something besides a VHD.
Can’t entirely remember if it handles partitions but I know it can boot particular disks and if the setting exists, that’s where it would be
Windows 7 was a competent OS with low system requirements, a stable kernel, a simple feature set that was well-known and useful, an interface that was comprehensible and clearly conveyed to the user, and it didn’t require extra investment or online accounts, and compatibility options for the really old stuff. It remains the Best version of Windows in my eyes.
8 took away the comprehenisble UI, low spec options, and lack of online service requirements, then 10 further complicated the UI and filled the OS with ads, the then 11 bloated the feature set, added even more ads, borked compatibility, and made the online accounts a requirement unless you pay extra and/or know what you’re doing.

Forget about EA, they’re a different company. Ubisoft is the one you want to worry about, they own Watch_Dogs and all related copyrights like DedSec
I had tried that previously, but on trying it again I realized that I’d missed setting the Color Depth. Apparently this was enough to make it work properly. Thank you!!

I started with the 2D arcade game of course. Both 3D games (SpyHunter and SpyHunter: Nowhere to Run) are solid as well
My Proxmox server is called ARCADE and each VM is named after a game. Currently we have:
Nvidia, good call. Take the easy win
Keeping this in the back pocket in case the NixOS ideas don’t work out, thanks for sharing!
This is very much what messed up my last install. Errors kept telling me that I needed to update file owners to 33:0, despite having done that on every mount point on the Ubuntu server. I even tried updating the ACLs from inside OpenMediaVault, but no dice. In hindsight I’m pretty sure that was stupid but it was already broken at that point and I was trying anything.
I was really just using SMB for convenience sake, one less protocol for me to turn on and configure. I initially thought about NFS but when I realized how little I know about actually securing NFS I decided against it. Though, I suppose that’s led me to this point here.
Trying it stock is exactly what I was thinking, though what folks have said about NixOS makes me think that’s going to be the first thing I try.
Very first experience was NC-Pi, right before that project got canned. Loved it so much I spent a couple hundred on shared hosting and set v24 up there, but I’ve been trying to move to my homelab because A) One less bill B) I can use the 72TB RAID Array for storage instead of the 30GB storage I paid way too much for.
Honestly have had great experiences with Portainer so far, with Nextcloud being the only real exception. PiHole, Dashy, an introducer for Syncthing, and StashApp all run without a hitch via Compose files dropped into Portainer. Though I am definitely going to take Docker out of the picture for the next NC install which means taking Portainer out as well.
Speaking of where we’re talking on just now, Lemmy support in general would be great too. Not sure but I assume your suggestion would mean the same thing?
