Most selfhosting services employ a database in their own docker (separate) container.
Already using it on my laptp. But a few things still don’t really work, properly. Fortunately, nixos makes driving plasma and niri quite easy.
A proper scrolling wm functionality for plasma (working with activities and multiple screens) and I’d never go back to anything else.
I gotta use Ubuntu 22.04 for work and paperWM is already so close to the perfect workflow on that old system. ❤️


Postgres? Sorry. If it needs a database, it’s probably not for me. Can’t be asked to keep another database backed up.
That’s a nice offer. But I’m using nixos containers to top it all off. I’m sure it’s possible to have a master-db on the core os and the containers access the central db… but I have hardly any time to do the stuff, I’m reasonably competent in as it is. Managing nixos containers and learning how to coneect the databases for using postgres in the intended way… idk. 😅
