A VPS is a Virtual Private Server, such as one would rent from a provider like digitalocean.com com or similar. Most of the crew here run their homelab off of equipment located in their residence. If a VPS is the path you’d like to take, then that would be a subscription. If you have equipment in your physical possession, that is yet another path. Either way, security is of utmost importance.

Ahhh fuck Wireguard. This old brain is not functioning today.

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

• Wireshark Wireguard (VPN): free
• SearxNG (Search Engine): free
• Equipment: widely varies

The whole idea of selfhosting is to cut out corporate subscriptions and to retain your privacy, security, anonymity, and data.

Thank you very much for your patience in trying to tweeze out all the proper info out of me. I feel like a slightly educated dumbass now. LOL Thanks again.

Weird. It loads here:

how do I resize my LVM LV to fill the rest of my LVM PV

Again, apologies for my confusion and not being able to articulate coherently or precisely.

sudo lvextend -r -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv

As I understand (which is limited in this scenario) this command extends the LUKS and then you would have to follow up with sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv to extend the file system.

Is the LUKS volume created right on the disk on a raw partition?

Yes. I’m sorry for the confusion and incomplete info. I’m flying a little blind here. The first two commands in the OP were to check what I have, and the last two were to extend the LUKS and then the filesystem.

hmmmm…I thought that the command sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv would extend the encrypted volume, and this command sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv would extend the filesystem.

I didn’t knock on your door, and I’m not pushing software on you

People here are just asking questions and getting the piss for asking them. Admittedly this comm is rather anti-ai, and your sarcasm laden, barbed responses, aren’t helping your cause.

Wow! Someone smoked a bowl and got chatty. I don’t have an Android. It seems like a good effort. I have no way of verifying that tho. Good luck to you my friend.

I’m not exactly sure what you are try to convey to me.

Hmmm

do not mean code is good

Doesn’t mean it’s bad either, but warrants checking out.

I guess I just don’t see it as douchey. To me is says, ‘hey this might be worth checking out.’ Besides Lemmy and a couple of long standing forums, I really don’t do social media so perhaps I not as jaded.

How so? It’s one of the things I check in addition to last update, etc.

PegaProx

Kinky.

As far as UI goes, that Proxmox Datacenter Manager looks similar to ProxCenter. I agree with @non_burglar@lemmy.world, in that a proper dashboard was missing.

Back in the late 60s, I heard a song by Jimi Hendrix called ‘If A 6 Were 9’. One line has stuck with me for decades and I’ve pretty much lived my life this way:

I got my own life to live. I’m the one that’s gonna have to die when it’s time for me to die. So let me live my life the way I want to.

Bow Chicka Wow Wow

Hey if you like a more intimate setting when you’re with your server, far be it from me to interfere. Throw on a little Barry White and some Ottis Redding and git sum.
