Start by searching for how to selfhost a photo storage backup. There are multiple ways to do it and the decision depends on your circumstances and preferences, which only you know.

1·2 days agoessentially using it as a giant, dynamic maze of proxies, where all your traffic is arguably better encrypted than via Tor.
from https://geti2p.net/en/about/intro :
Outproxies to the Internet are run by volunteers, and are centralized services. The privacy benefits from participating in the the I2P network come from remaining in the network and not accessing the internet. Tor Browser or a trusted VPN are better options for browsing the Internet privately.
You can use a raspberry pi with a GSM HAT
here is a super in depth blog that I used for reference when implementing this. https://projects-raspberry.com/call-text-using-raspberry-pi-gsm-module/
I have a very different GSM module that goes directly on the pi.
Go to the small local library, they usually have free wifi, sometimes without registration and if you’re lucky they don’t filter any traffic.
There is also a map of open wifi hotspots online which work without registration also, but I’m too lazy to dig out the link.
Ask online for somebody to share their VPN. Many subscriptions explicitly allow inviting friends and family and allow multiple simultaneous connections.

i moved to sftpGO instead and am quite happy
OP is talking about solutions that include certain features out of the box in an easy to use package.
Rolling out a conglomorate of those features that you’ve manually set up and ducktaped together by hand is irrelevant. That approach was already possible for many decades.
Dokploy has a web ui with a list of services where you click install and it installs them for you. You can set it up to do the exact same job as OMV but also way less or way more, depending on what you want and need. (by just clicking install on the existing templates, or by entering a custom docker compose if you want to run a nieche service)
So I’d argue dokploy is a perfect substitution (or more like superset) for OMV, but OMV could never substitude dokploy.
free foss alternative, look at OMV
lol no. I used this one for a month and no.
It works but it has the most convoluted GUI possible. No backup system at all iirc. And running arbitrary containers was a nightmare that is not even integrated with the GUI.
I settled on https://dokploy.com/
The closest to your dream is probably https://hexos.com/
It is closed source, but build on top of open source…
They (for now) have a one time purchase license, no subscription.
It has buddy backups. Can run on any normal x86 pc / server (you have to bring your own and install hexos to it). And has a nice and simple GUI for deploying services easily.
I never personally used it. I just have it on my radar. For me, the not so easy but fully free (cost) and open source way works reasonably well. I run my homelab with dokploy.

How did the cat turn out?
FUTO (popularly associated with Immich and Louis Rossman) received some backlash for subverting third-party donor guidelines in the conducting of its grant program
selfh.st should recieve some backlash for subverting the reason for the FUTO backlash in this summary.
The guidelines fuckery is just the decor. The main part of the whole cake is: FUTO platforms a guy that calls himself a fascist and talks racist gibberish.
11·19 days agoJust a heads up, I havent looked into it for a year, but back then CJK input was completely non functional on wayland.
Ok apparently there has been progress.
At the beginning of this year it was working, even if a bit buggy, according to this talk. The talk also provides a good overview of all the subsystems involved.
I don’t have a good memory, because it was about 15-10 years ago.
I remember one time where the dist upgrade finished, but after a reboot most apps would crash with core dumps and I wasn’t able to use apt for anything.
One time I did the dist upgrade too late and the repos changed.
One time I had some ppa for work, that blocked the upgrade and I would have to completely remove it, but there was no version for the new release yet, even though I needed (also for work) a feature from some tool that was updated in the new release. So I was stuck between having one or the other but not both.
But like I said, it’s all cloudy.
Not really answering your question, but what you describe is exactly why I switched to arch and have been rocking the same install for over a decade.
It’s uNsTaBLe - I keep getting updates and things keep changing and rarely something needs my intervention to keep working. But it keeps working. And I can install viber from AUR without thinking.
Before that I was on Debian and then Ubuntu and then Kubuntu - and dist-upgrades were a much worse, weekend-destroying, rage-inducing pain than doing light weekly maintaining of my arch install.
dokploy on a plain debian server with auto updates is my goto setup for simplicity
secondhand used mini pc + some refurbished harddrives
host something that you really need and will use
How is it a map and not a list?
Like, are the containers related somehow?
If you just want to know whats running, there are a ton of docker autoexplore dashboard out there. But I don’t think they output a map, just a list.
