We need more info. What model laptop, for starters?

I doubt kids these days know who that is. It shouldn’t be too hard to patch it to Taylor Swift Linux though.

Plex lets you add multiple servers.

The jellyfin app lets you switch, but maybe not use multiple servers simultaneously. I don’t have a second one I can add to test.

Actually, they have a demo server. Be right back.

Edit: nope, the android app only lets you connect to one at a time.

Nah, use one VM on each node as the kube host. That’s fine. You’re doing it for fun, you don’t need to min-max your environment.

You’ll probably want to tear it down and redeploy it eventually anyway. That’s going to be a pain if you’ve installed them on bare metal.

I don’t think jellyfin supports that either. I tried it a while back and only saw partial success.

Docker packs the whole application and its dependencies into a container, hence the name. You can run and delete that application as much as you want without affecting the host system. (But you should probably keep your media library and config outside the container, and use a bind mount. The setup documentation covers this.)

Back up anything you can’t afford to lose. Then run do-release-upgrade. You may need to use some option to allow it to go from LTS to non-LTS.

Use cfdisk and just edit the partitions.

Please note that if you do this without first resizing the filesystems on the partitions, you are very likely to lose data. You cannot safely shrink a mounted partition.

Edit: oh you mean booted from external media, not an online system. Use gparted. https://gparted.org/

Proxmox can run lxc containers natively.

Personally I keep a Debian VM for docker, a holdover from before hypervisors supported containers natively. I use docker compose and it Just Works™.

I don’t think jellyfin runs on DOS.

VPN. Jellyfin is not intended for direct exposure to the Internet.

You should run it in docker anyway for convenience. A reverse proxy is optional, but I use traefik also for convenience (so that I can just use domain names on the same port, and so that it can automatically fetch certs).

Devuan is Debian with sysv.

Intel’s current corporate nonsense doesn’t affect the quality of existing products. They will continue to be supported under Linux and BSD for a long time.

Do you want x86-64 (amd64) or arm64? Those are two very different things.

Devuan supports arm64.

Or, relax your SBC restriction and get a mini-pc board like a NUC or N100, or similar embedded system. Even an HDMI stick PC.

Dell is not linux-first, but they do officially support Ubuntu for some models.

If you pass a whole raw disk, not virtualized, then TrueNAS should not complain. I don’t know if you can do that in proxmox, I haven’t tried.

Personally I’d get rid of TrueNAS. Even if docker is down, the VM with the data is still up and accessible over anything running on the VM, like scp via ssh.

It sounds like there’s been some change since that happened. I would review the current terms and GPLv3, if that’s the one you want to use.

Where did you read that?

*efficiency

Memtest? Boot a live image and stress test each component?

I don’t think it’s overheating, usually that presents as throttling followed by a thermal protection power off.
