My servers have names of Spanish words humorist El Risitas says in his mythical video where he laughs with no real reason.

The biggest server is named “cocinero”, because I can (jokingly) easily imagine a very fat cook.

Then there is plancha, a lenovo thinkcentre which has the size of a plank.

My raspberry pi’s have names of tapas: chorizo, keso etc.


what is the reason you shy away from ubuntu? Canonical. Snaps. Ubuntu is the first server OS I used, and while it was quite good I think I prefer using a base distrobox instead of a derivative. If I’m going to use Debian, I’ll use Debian. Not Debian with corporate stuff on top.

As for SELinux: I’ve tried around a year ago. But as soon as I started doing stuff with users and tweaking docker permissions things went wrong and I just set it to permissive. Maybe I’ll try that again soon, because other parts of managing servers have become much easier over time as I learned. I agree that having a server without SELinux is quite dumb and not very professional.


Automatic updates: a cautionary tale
Tl;dr: Automatic updates on my home server caused 8 hours of downtime of all of renn.es' docker services including email and public websites
