Dudes named Ben;
I have a 6 core Ryzen 5600K desktop, I want to make an always in server for Nextcloud or equivalent, Music server, and Video server like Emby or similar.
Current OS is windows 10 home, with Linux extension.
When I installed Docker plus Nextcloud, I the container keeps restarting, and there doesn't seem to be a webserver on localhost:8080
What's the best approach?
Work out the docker issues, put the servers in Virtualbox VMs, or nuke OS and install Mint or Ubuntu?
@87e0b6e2 debian stable as libvirt host running kvm slices
@87e0b6e2 does it restart right away? If you can grab logs, that's your best way forward it you want to keep this setup.
Docker ps
Docker logs <container id>
Wipe it and install linux, install docker, run from containers. Linuxserver.io publishes images for all that shit that just werk with little manual configuration
@87e0b6e2 I vote nuke. You don't need Windows running under all that just to complicate every little thing you try to do. Ubuntu.or Debian with docker, or Proxmox for headless simplicity.
@87e0b6e2 I like Jellyfin better than plex or emby.
@87e0b6e2 I usually favor simple. Instead of a virtual (container) on a virtual (Linux extension) on Windows, I would either do plain Linux running Nextcloud, or Linux host with Linux VM running Nextcloud.
The VM gives one the ability to take snapshots for recovery purposes, and helps abstract away the underlying hardware.
Simplest is just plain Linux running Nextcloud.
Hard drives are cheap - Consider purchasing a new SSD and starting over on that.
If you change your mind, you swap back.
