I think you are conflating desktop Ubuntu with Ubuntu Server. On a server, you absolutly want a stable, long supported LTS version.
I’ve been hosting on Ubuntu Server for over 10 years now, and at no point were any packages required to keep it up to date and running outdated.
I see your point. But to me, self-hosting just means being responsible for the server and services and not necessarily having my own hardware server at home. And just calling it hosting is too broad a definition for me. And at the end of the day, the guide works just as well for your own hardware or a VM, as it does for a VPS.
Took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize my mistake. I forgot to actually use the npx @11ty/eleventy build command instead of always relying on npx @11ty/eleventy --serve. Now the images are properly linked and transformed / optimized.
I’ve personally never found the need to do that. If you follow basic security guidelines and keep your server os and the docker service up-to-date, there really isn’t any real threat.
Though I have heard of Authelia before and was interested in reading up on SSO, one of these days.
Yeah, took me a while to get the hang with Nunjucks, which I had never heard of or used before. But once I got it all properly set up, it was super simple and easy. I’ll definetly write a guide to it too, eventually.
Can’t really help you there, since comments were never a consideration for me. They would add an unneeded amount of moderation, and potential threat, to my blog.
Whille I agree, when it comes to the Ubuntu Desktop, their Server OS has been a stable, reliable and well supported system for me.
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Yeah, I know that the images are borked. But it’s pretty late here and I was too lazy to fix it. I’ll fix it tomorrow.
You mean from one LTS to the next? It’s been a while, but as far as I remember, it worked fine on my last server (22.04 to 24.04).
And even if something doesn’t work, I can have all my stuff spun up on a new server in less than an hour. But that, of course, depends on the amount of data you host.
