Yeah, that seems to be the gist of it. I’ve seen several people say that they prefer volumes as they are managed by docker and therefore easier to migrate / backup. Since I plan on moving to different hardware in the near future, I figured why not.

Also something about permissions, though I never had any problems with it. So as you said, I’m sticking with bind mounts for now.

Also I don’t have a clue what I’m doing at least 50 percent of the time and just follow guides. That’s why I wanted some clarification on that :)

Will do, thanks!

I’m in the process of degoogeling my live. I’ve never used it much, but my phone and the apps that I’ve bought over the years are tied to my account. I still use the calendar and have been to lazy to switch. Google maps too is a big plus. I’ve already gotten rid of cloud storage, as I selfhost nextcloud.

I use airvpn, which is recommended now as mullvad got rid of port forwarding.

I have not and I’ll look into it tomorrow. Thanks!

Jup, that is precisely what I meant and why I advocate for people to be cautious, if they use their Google account for more things than just YouTube.

Kagi was somewhat expensive, if I recall. 10 bucks for unlimited searches put me off, as I don’t have a lot of money right now…

You’re probably correct on your assumption that Google also will lose something if they start banning accounts without warning.

You can also be certain that I, as well as other technically inclined persons, will try and get what they want through other means. A valid point.

Considering this, the only strategy I can see them using is some scare tactics. You will lose your Google account if you keep doing what you do, so give us money! This, however, will only work if they give people warnings, which they haven’t don’t yet.

Thank you for your input, much appreciated! I’ll stick to a VPN for now, as it doesn’t cost me anything. I’m just a cautious person.

Two or three things come to mind that to me so I’ll just put them here:

Did you setup a DNS server? Port already taken? Permission error?

Remember when Homer designed a car?

Excellent suggestion, I didn’t even think about testing the setup using a VM as you suggested.

I also lean to option 1, as it is just the simplest. There is conflicting information out there regarding proxmox and the VMs being on the same disk: some people say it’s fine, others hate it (although I couldn’t quite figure out why, hence the question).

The biggest downside is storage space, but I don’t think I’ll need all too much since I’m currently running everything on about about 500GB and of those only using 70GB.
