I recommend using a docker container, they make the whole thing painless and easy.
I think the Linuxserver.io one is what I used from memory.

Yeah if this is for a small number of users, I would recommend wireguard or tailgate.
Port forwarding is asking for trouble.
Element is a complete disaster.
Like, completely unmaintained and broken.
Matrix works over i2P and Tor, just proxy the service.
P2P chat could include retroshare but it’s not really a solution due to a variety of ux issues.
I wasn’t aware of that. I’ve even seen vendors using it.
I know it’s E2EE and open source but there is a lot of Metadata.
What other limitations does it have?
I often remote into my machine, so it’s a lot easier to type the command.
Yeah I hear that, good point.
Arch has great documentation but also a bit more config.
I would vote for Fedora over debian though. Debian packages are so far out of date that it becomes a pain and copr works quite well.
If it’s just a server, Alpine and docker will do most things with good reliability and security.
Otherwise I’ve actually always used void and arch. While those aren’t typical choices for a server, it shows that it’s hard to go wrong.
Choose a distribution that appeals to you and it’ll work great.
For this use case, alpine sounds good.
See also Inkscape.
Doesn’t quite fit OPs want of self hosted, but still very good.
There is also Asymptote and tikz for more technical stuff.
Self hosting is your pathway to a tech background.
University for comp sci, in my experience around the space, is a complete waste of time. Just a piece of paper that may or may not equip the recipient with some skills that may or may not be relevant.
In my research group we could tell instantly and it would usually act as a mark against the paper (ie read this one later).
If you’re reading a lot of papers it becomes apparent.
Well that’s good to know because I had some terrible luck with it about a decade ago. Although I don’t think I would go back to windows, I just don’t need it for work anymore and it’s become far too complex.
I’ve also had pretty bad luck with BTRFS though, although it seems to have improved a lot in the past 3 years that I’ve been using it.
ZFS would be good but having to rebuild the kernel module is a pain in the ass because when it fails to build you’re unbootable (on root). I also don’t like how clones are dependant on parents, requires a lot of forethought when you’re trying to create a reproducible build on eg Gentoo.
I gotcha:
HFS+ has a different features set than NTFS or ext4, Apple elect to store metadata that way.
I would imagine modern FS like ZFS or btrfs could benefit from doing something similar but nobody has chosen to implement something like that in that way.
Vikings and org-mode.
Org-mode does not have an API but I’ve separated out multiple files and synced via git to moderate success with my gf. No API but maybe with gitea and orgize you could do something?
I cannot.
Endeavour OS is great but it’s just arch.
Gentoo with oddlama/gentoo-install is nice too.
It’s not too bad. I very rarely recompile everything from scratch and after I do that I just create a snapshot with btrfs. Are usually then chroot into that snapshot and compile everything natively overnight for that 5% Theoretical performance boost.
Most recently I took that snapshot and then used btrfs send to adapt it to a laptop as well and that worked quite well actually.
Everything I install is typically through flatpack or distro box just like silver blue. This means install times are pretty much okay but I have a huge amount of flexibility in the way the system works
Also heaps of binary packages as well, so that’s not too bad. The binary packages much slower than both arch and Alpine but not a lot slower than for example Fedora.
Yeah I’ve been recommending Arch based did for a while. Personally I’m on void and Alpine, but as a first distro things like Cachy and Endeavour are unrivalled.
Yeah if it’s just for Plex something like Endeavour OS would be pretty much painless.
Definitely easier than fighting a key.
So I use reverse proxies etc with my containers for others services
But KeePass with rsync is easier for passwords. I just use termux on my phone
