Take a look at Pine64 Quartz64 boards as a decent alternative

You’re best off using the PROXY protocol assuming your application(s) support it.

This is completely standard for residential ISPs at least in the US. Your options are to either host this elsewhere or use a smarthost (somewhat of a proxy) for outbound mail.

gitlab, several docker containers, kbin, ircds, a bouncer, 3-4 web servers, a couple seperate mysql servers, Handshake DNS hosting and Handshake nodes

Proxmox is all I use for VM hosting, it is well worth it IMO, I colo metal and I host several virtual machines on it, webservers, ircds, kbin, etc. I specifically use Virtual Machines (KVM) however, it does have the ability to do containerization too (LXC).

Tree Style Tabs is also pretty awesome, didn’t see it in the list but idk what I would do without it so I figured that I would comment it

yeah, I’ve been getting hammered in my transport queue from this. I guess if this is intentional it is worth just defederating to avoid spamming the queue and logs.

We have our instance running on a colo server. I am likely going to rebuild ansible to use a custom pict-rs docker container which offloads images to object storage so I don’t need to store media locally on said server.

Take a look at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3020 it has some insight.

I use Ubuntu latest LTS for all my servers
