Oh I didn’t know about this either. Thanks! About to set that up right now!

Now this is something I’m interested in! I think I’m going to pick up that 3040 to set up and play around with since it’s so cheap. The i5-6500 should handle it well enough, right?

Never mind. I see now that Proxmox is a type 1 hypervisor now.

To be completely honest, I’m familiar enough with all of this to get myself in trouble and work my way back out of it and that’s about it.

I was only trying to get away from the VM because if I’m away and the PiHole craps out, I can tell my wife “hold down the power button and reset the 3040” as opposed to trying to walk her through the VM setups.

I’ve got Windows set up to log back in upon reboots (Windows updates and whatnot), then start up Plex, arrs, etc. But I couldn’t get the VMWare VM to turn on automatically.

What prompted all of this was the 8 GB SD filling to 100% and freezing up my PiHole, blocking internet access due to the DNS server being down.

So… I was trying to knock out both of those issues with the separate - PiHole and wife, restarts and VMs.

But you’re saying I can get Proxmox running on the 3070 I already have (i5-9500T, 32 GB RAM, W11 Pro) and have it auto start and run everything?

If you used Lemmy-Easy-Deploy, the docker name is lemmy-easy-deploy-postgres-1

docker exec -it lemmy-easy-deploy-postgres-1 busybox /bin/sh

I completely agree. I’ve been hopping on in the morning and in the evening and I don’t feel like I’ve missed anything and I still feel like I’m contributing. The total opposite of how it was with Reddit.

I bought the domain through Cloudflare and when setting the CNAME and A records it automatically proxied them so I didn’t even think about it at the time.

Honestly, I don’t even know. It was in the advanced settings on Lemmy-Easy-Deploy and I missed it and spent like 2 hours troubleshooting until I saw that, lol.

.win is a $3 domains on Cloudflare and shouldn’t have issues of being revoked (like .ml is going through and others could potentially face).

My steps were:

1. Sign up for free Google cloud VM instance
2. Buy a $3 domain name from Cloudflare
3. Install with Lemmy-Easy-Deploy
4. Change Cloudflare to “Strict”
5. Log in

I just upgraded without issue. Had to restart docker once it was installed but otherwise it went smoothly.
