I work with VMs mostly, so I go for Veeam B&R. The free tier allows you to backup 10 VMs or machines.

You are still giving them traffic, just not directly.

I have a dual boot with High Sierra and Monterey. I went first for Monterey but my Terascale 1 GPU was causing the screen to flicker constantly and would not work with a second monitor. For some reason High Sierra was more stable. Then two weeks ago OCLP released another root patch which fixed all the problems of the Terascale 1 GPU and now they both work fine so I will probably upgrade Monterey to Ventura later this week.

I am both. I have MacOS on MacMini (late 2018) and MacOS with OCLP on MacPRO (early 2008).

Yup, Apple only. I do not remember Apollo having an Android version though.

You are welcome!

+1 all my servers run Linux or FreeBSD, I use macOS as desktop (most of the stuff is neat and out of the box and it uses less resources) and I use Windows while working with my customers and some of their servers. I would definitely not choose Linux for desktop (I tried and gave up), but it is great for the servers.

No problem, if you run into issues let me know I may be able to help. Not an expert at Docker, but I do have a handful of containers running here and there.

I have been using ripME on all the subreddits that I have on my subscription list and have been dowloading for two weeks now and it is still going strong.

Well if you are using docker-compose you could probably get rid of the nginx container and only deploy the other four: lemmy, lemmy-ui, pictrs, postgres. You would then use the nginx.conf stuff you have in place for the docker container of nginx to proxy to lemmy-ui and lemmy on ports 1234 and 8536. Or if you plan to keep using the docker container for nginx then you can change the listening port in the nginx.conf of the container:

listen 80;

to something different like

listen 1080;

Also in the docker-compose.yml you would update the nginx ports to 1080:1080.

Hope this answers your question.

HaProxy for most of the stuff and Nginx for very limited stuff. Or a combination between HaProxy and Nginx in some very special cases.

Mlem looks promising, if it can develop the save functionality that Apollo has then it gets my vote.

I currently only use Meta products for marketing and because other people I know use it most.

I used docker-compose version and had to work around a couple of bugs like needing to redundantly install Nginx and Let’s Encrypt for it to work properly with SSL and also having to add the lemmy container to the internet facing network due to the DNS not working on it and subsequently loosing federation capability. Overall a bit of a struggle, but this is common with FOSS.
