  • My example applied to all distros, the difference would be the time it takes that code change (which resolved a critical to me bug) takes to actually be available to use.

    There’s also very little that’s specific to me about that, it’s a real use case that comes up repeatedly for new releases that tend to push things graphically. I’m only going to recommend distros that minimize the time to get those fixes because it’s a better user experience for the target demographic with little downside.






  • Docker is fine for turnkey applications. Mounting external storage that persists across containers is a feature that enables that pattern.

    Running Docker in a VM is also fine and has potential advantages. However I agree that it’s probably overly complex for many people.

    I’m confused what you’re trying to accomplish here. Are you trying to make it look like the traffic is coming from your VPS for some reason? Nginx (amongst others) can reverse proxy tcp traffic.












  • The term to look for is out of band management. Typically this will provide serial/console access to a device, and can often perform actions like power cycling. A lot of server hardware has this built in (eg idrac for Dell, IPMI generically). Some users will have a separate oobm network for remotely accessing/managing everything else.
