If you want Proxmox to dynamically allocate resources you’ll need to use LXCs, not VMs. I don’t use VMs at all anymore for this exact reason.

I had done a few easier Linux installs on Raspberry Pis and VMs in the past, but when I decided I wanted to try using Linux as my daily driver on my desktop (dual-booted with Windows at the time) I decided to go with a manual Arch install using a guide and I would 100% recommend it if you’re trying to pick up Linux knowledge. It’s really not a difficult process to just follow step-by-step, but I looked up each command as they came up in the guide so I could try to understand what I was doing and why.
I don’t know what packages archinstall includes because I’ve never used it, but really the biggest thing for me learning was booting into a barebones Arch install. Looking into the different options for components and getting everything I needed setup and configured how I wanted was invaluable.
That being said, now that I know how, is that how I would choose to install it? Nah, I use the CachyOS installer now, but if I wanted stock Arch I’d probably use archinstall.
That I’m not sure of. My proxmox host is headless and none of my containers have a GUI so I haven’t tried.
You can also pass the GPU to multiple LXCs that will share it vs it being tied to a single VM. I use VMs as little as possible in Proxmox these days.
Glad to hear this is being worked on, thanks for sharing this. I assumed it was related to my config and was putting off looking into it further.
Visual discomfort because it looks like an slightly older app? What kind of issue is that???
You’ve met an iOS user.
Absolutely, if it was anything I needed or even really wanted to be sure was reliably available I’d never put it on a free VPS.
Now, something trivial like this that just requires installing wireguard and nginx, copying over some configs, and changing a DNS record? Hard to beat free.
I know everyone loves to shit on Oracle, but a free-tier Oracle VPS would solve this.
Or if you want something decent pay for a cheap VPS.
I mean that’s not inherently bad, what you do with that data could be though.
Hoarders Household power users
Then offer to host the database/servers on your own dime and make it free for everyone. It’s a completely reasonable price with the option to try it for free before paying.
I was skeptical about DeArrow but it is absolutely worth it. I don’t use the thumbnail replacer but removing clickbait titles makes YouTube so much more usable.
What you’re describing is the whole point of flatpaks. Just don’t use flatpaks then.
I’m sure the artists behind the music for the 20+ year old games this could be used for are really feeling the pain of their creative rights being abused from people trying to still enjoy their art after all this time, you wet blanket.
Different strokes. If I preferred using software that was just good enough out of the box over something I can customize to my exact liking then I probably wouldn’t be using Linux in the first place, or at least not the way I do in general.
Beyond that, having it be customizable means other people can change it to their liking and share that configuration, and maybe I’d experiment with it and find something I didn’t even know I wanted.
I started using fooyin recently, and it’s good enough to have replaced running foobar2000 in WINE for me.
By running NPM in an unprivileged LXC without docker or podman. I’m surprised to hear that’s been an issue with podman for so long though.
The best music player on Linux is still foobar2000 in WINE, so I will definitely be trying this out.
Your position is based on a flawed understanding of one statistic. If Canonical released a hardware survey for snap, and it showed that 99% of the machines using snap were running Ubuntu, would that mean 99% of all Linux machines are running Ubuntu? No, it would mean that snap users are more likely to use Ubuntu while steam users are more likely to use SteamOS. You are seeing a very small piece of the overall picture and are making wild extrapolations from it.
IIRC from running into this same issue, this won’t work the way you have the volume bind mounts set up because it will treat the movies and downloads directories as two separate file systems, which hardlinks don’t work across.
If you bind mounted /media/HDD1:/media/HDD1 it should work, but then the container will have access to the entire drive. You might be able to get around that by running the container as a different user and only giving that user access to those two directories, but docker is also really inconsistent about that in my experience.
