Is keeping the servers where they currently are (or with a friend) an option? Then you could just VPN into it from abroad.
If that isn’t an option, I’m currently running a homebuilt NAS off an Intel N100 Mini-ITX mainboard and I’m impressed with how many services it can run simultaneously, including Quick Sync Video for hardware transcoding.
I think the Google as an identity provider example is misleading. The more common use case will be medium to small companies where several admins/developers need to login to various servers and where manually adding and revoking keys across these servers will be cumbersome.
As the other commenter said, in those cases, the organization would also deploy its own IDP.
The pre mixed spices list their contents and it’s not that hard to come up with something similar by just using the individual ingredients.
You could go even further and use hard links. That way, you can have two paths pointing to the same data on the partition, with the space getting cleaned up only after all references to it are removed.
Hey URL, go and fetch your friend JSON!
Makes perfect sense.
I’m pretty happy with Digital Ocean if I need a temporary VPS because I can pay by the minute and the UI is great. Anything that I want to stay alive for more than a month or two, I do on a single 6-core VPS rented long-term from Netcup, a low-cost German provider, deploying with Docker and Traefik.
Yeah, I’m currently running unraid on it because I wanted a hands-off maintenance experience.
While it’s nice to get started, I’m really missing even intermediate Docker features such as support for compose files (so that there is some grouping of main services with the database instance that supports it, etc). Still, it’s been working reliably for the year that I’ve had it.
Edit: I have tried the Docker Compose Manger plugin but didn’t find the experience an improvement because of the way the YAML editing works
