Self-host more with less hardware

Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 123 points – 11 months ago

After a few conversations with people on Lemmy and other places it became clear to me that most aren't aware of what it can do and how much more robust it is compared to the usual "jankiness" we're used to.

In this article I highlight less known features and give out a few practice examples on how to leverage Systemd to remove tons of redundant packages and processes.

And yes, Systemd does containers. :)

Admin dont like changes in their workflow and Systemd changes a lot of things, for better or for worse. That being said i do like how Systemd does things and wish for an overall better experience for linux not a worse one.

Yes, like nftables recently did change a LOT of things.

nftables? Is this a replacement for ipchains or something? :-|

Ahaha you wish. nftables replaces iptables and it has already happened in Debian 11.

nftables adds a new tool, called nft, which replaces all other tools from iptables, arptables and ebtables. From an architectural point of view it also replaces those parts of the kernel that deal with run-time evaluation of the packet filtering rule set.
