Right now, I just flash ubuntu server to whatever computer it is, ssh and yolo lmao. no containers, no managers, just me, my servers, and a vpn, raw dogging the internet lmao. The box is running a nas, jellyfin, lemmy, and a print server; the laptop a minecraft server, and the pi is running a pihole, and a website that controls gpio that controls the lights. In the pictured setup i dont have access to the apartment complex’s router, so i vpn through a openvpn server i setup in a digitalocean server.

i didnt even know what a container was until i setup the lemmy server, which i just used ansible for.

i still dont really know what ansible is.
