@Emmie @Scary_le_Poo That depends on the ISP, there’s still some out there that will give you one for free.

@walden @Scary_le_Poo Only if the reverse proxy has its own login on top of Jellyfin’s, and even that only mitigates some of them.

@dontblink You would have to write a PAM module to do that

@Pogogunner At least on Debian based distros, it’s all part of the driver installation.

As for how it works at the hardware/kernel level the iGPU take some of system RAM to use as VRAM, so all the kernel has to do is give the dGPU a DMA buffer into that. The final piece is for the iGPU driver to send a synchronisation signal to the dGPU when it’s ready to receive the (partial-)frame.

@jeena @Pogogunner

I’m going to assume that it is possible to put both the dedicated and integrated GPUs to work, though I’ve never seen this kind of setup.

Every single laptop with a dGPU does that, as I’m typing this now only Minecraft is using the dGPU while everything else is on the iGPU. Everything is fully performant (including YT videos), and it greatly increases battery life.

@jeena As always the Arch wiki has you covered. PRIME, is the system you need. It’s slightly easier with the monitor plugged into the iGPU, (that’s how laptops are wired).

@harsh3466 That should work, as always with dd the potential disaster is getting if and of the wrong way around and wiping the old drive.

@GregorTacTac If you use containers you can map something like 8080 on the host to 80 in the container. Generally it’s recommended to have a reverse proxy listening on 80 and 443 with all your individual applications on localhost only high ports.

@jherazob If you use Podman instead of Docker Cockpit gives a great web dashboard covering both the containers and the host machine.

@andruid @Tippon Stay away from k8s for now, that’s more for when you have a cluster of multiple physical servers. The systemd services are more useful in a single server environment.

The way that works is that once you have the containers set up, podman can save the configuration of them as unit files so they can be managed the same way as native server software. This makes it easier to have them all start automatically after a reboot, and is a requirement for enabling automatic updates.

@Tippon That is a big part of the point behind containers, you don’t have any long term state inside them. Migration is just a case of copying the configuration over along with the contents of any persistent volumes.

It’s worth looking into Podman instead of Docker, the daemon-less architecture makes it more lightweight and secure as it’s easier to have rootless containers. Management can also be easer as being a Red Hat project it integrates well into Systemd.

With your existing server on Xubuntu you may as well stick with Ubuntu Server or Debian for the familiarity.

@nutbutter @noride The container section is, but the rest of it is operating on the host system more like Webmin does.

@reactive_recall Those fees come from the banks and card schemes, so every processor out there is going to pass them on. The only real way around it is to accept payments by bank transfer or cheque/postal order.

@Salix Ideally you would put NPM in VM 3, so you have a single entry point separated from everything else.
