  • Unless you’re downloading a prebuilt LXC, you’d still have to do all the manual install yourself.

    If you do download a prebuilt one, then you’ll need to do the updating yourself, like you would a normal application, including ensuring you keep dependencies up to date and all that.

    Both have their pros and cons and I use each depending on what I’m doing (and basically all of my dockers are running in their own LXC containers, which I find to be the best of both worlds).

    FWIW, I don’t download any prebuilt LXC anymore other than the base ‘Ubuntu’ or ‘Debian’ ones … the ones in ProxMox that have the prebuilt apps were a pain to update for me, especially since I had no idea how they were actually installed and most of the times they didn’t have package manager installations or curl installed and it was just way more trouble than it was worth.

    ProxMox does now have a built in containerized docker implementation that will use an LXC and you can just provide it the docker package details, but, it’s still in beta and I don’t know that it’s ready to be depended on yet.




  • Yeah, I had a overall bad experience with everything being buggy and then even devices that weren’t connected to tailscale would start trying to ping the tailnet address instead of the local (wasn’t using their funky bridge subnets feature or whatever it’s called, so I don’t know why it would happen).

    Their magicDNS is cool in theory but caused me nothing but problems. Once I turned off their DNS and set up my own DNS server for it though, it’s gotten to basically be as seamless as they claim it’s supposed to be from the start. I’m no longer having any issues with it at all.

    Maybe, but there is always the possibility that Downloads and downloads both exist in that path and in a case sensitive file system, those are going to be two completely different directories, so adding that obfuscation on top might wind up biting you later.


  • Sometimes, the best tool for the job is the one you already have. Is she supposed to go out and buy a new missile launcher and all the consumables that go with it when she’s got a perfectly functional stinger in the garage already?

    Consumer culture has gotten out of hand!

    /s … kind of???
