That’s just a bandaid on capitalism’s issues. Urging people not to support the biggest actor will never work in the grand scheme of things, when said actor provides their best immediate interests.

Isn’t it enough to have a single offsite backup?

Whats the risk? My uptime is pretty good and I host from home.

Why not host at home?

But it’s not self hostable.

Not self hostable and not secure by default.

It’s as much or as little as you want to. If you don’t want to change anything, you can use something like debian and only maintain once every 5 years (and you could even skip that).

I personally spend a little more, by choice, because I use gentoo. But if I’m busy, I can avoid maintenance by only running routine updates every couple of weeks or so.

I know it’s not the intention, but can you use this to host copyrighted music?

Don’t many providers already have similar rules?

Thanks for the link. But is this really unseen in FOSS? My understanding is some FOSS projects do this so that it is easy to make major decisions without having to bring every person that has ever contributed to the project, kinda like how ZFS is stuck with license issues because they can’t bring all contributors together to approve a license change.

Any examples of this? PRs that are good overall but not for corporate sponsor?

Podman only if you really care about using FOSS, having first-class rootless mode, and don’t mind the hassle of scarce learning resource and tutorials on all Podman features that are different from docker.

Otherwise docker.

I don’t plan on doing anything illegal myself, but apparently that’s not enough.

Where overseas can I be free of legal issues? Can you elaborate on what you mean by using a proxy for hosting?

Mkdocs fits your criteria imo. But if you want something more customizable, you could use the astro.build docs template

I could be wrong, but I remember reading some companies using AI to analyze your data traffic. Even when encrypted, they may be able to tell that it must be video streaming of some sort. Many providers ban video streaming altogether, legal or not.

For your use case, debian. Ubuntu is based on it, it’s stable, it’ll feel like home.

I personally use Gentoo (since you asked what we all use), but based on your reqs, you wouldn’t wanna use it. And I’m probably in the minority anyways.

I learned podman as a beginner. This isn’t to say that what you’re saying is wrong. It was much more difficult doing so. I am only commenting to say that its possible but needs patience.

Podman is slightly better, but most tutorials are for docker.

So, podman if you’re comfortable looking through docs, man-pages, scarce Internet resources, and trial and error for finding things out. Especially if you care about having better security with rootless mode.

Podman also has a different way for managing many containers at once, and the interaction between them.

They’re similar under the good, but flatpak is optimized for desktop use. Docker targets server applications.

Flatpak has better security features than docker. While its true it’s not designed with server apps in mind, it is possible to use its underlying “bubblewrap” to create isolated environments. Maybe in the future, tooling will improve its features and bridge the gap.
