OnlyOffice has fantastic support for Microsoft originated documents. I typically use the Flatpak version. The look and feel is very similar to the office suite so you should be “right at home”.

Uh oh. How did the partition get deleted from your fstab?

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. Next time my machine needs to be wiped, I’m heading towards EOS to give it a try.

I’ve been thinking about running EndeavorOS but seeing people here complain about Arch breaking when the AUR is used, makes me shy away from EOS. Do you use packages from AUR and have you had any issues with the OS? Running Tumbleweed right now.

Took me a bit to see these patterns/packages (mainly because I’ve never used Yast). I can see these patterns and the software that they install, is it better to use Yast to remove the packages and the patterns and mark them as “Don’t install that sh.t again” or through cli?

Thank for the dup vs up tip. I found it odd having to do both.

Did not find any meta packages installed

Okay so I ran sudo zypper search pattern* and found one called patterns-games-games and patterns-office-office. I assume these are the “patterns” responsible for installing stuff like Kmines, KSoduku, LibreOffice, etc which I don’t want. I also assume I can run sudo zypper remove patterns-games-games to remove it all? Or do I need to remove the packages individually and then remove the pattern?

Well when I boot after reboot, I see updated software packages and running uname-a shows the new kernel zipper said it was going to install. Based on that I assume that the answer would be no

The council members would like to “speak to you” about a recent “developments” we’ve been made aware of. We assure you, nothing will happen to you…

Honestly I had trouble understanding the inner workings of wine and how I may need to use to install windows software so I just watched a few videos on YouTube, downloaded a sample exe (I think I used notepad++) and try it out. 10 minutes later I was running software through wine no problem. Wrote myself a quick documentation guide for my future self and gtg.

Glad you liked it fellow inter webs person!

Personal opinion. If you successfully booted Debian, stick with it. No need to try out a bunch of distros. Debian is well known, well supported, tons of resources AND everything works out of the box with your POS systems. Sold!

I also had weird problems connecting to wireless before, turns out the wireless on my machine could only connect to 2.4 ghz wireless but the routers I couldn’t connect to were 5 ghz. Just something else to check. Quite possibly due to the card being too old.

Have you tried to manually specify the subvolume id (sudo btrfs subvolume list /) of the snapshot you want to restore to in /etc/fstab?

When I was distro hopping I believe Garuda Linux took snapshots and was easily able to restore a few times. Maybe you can reverse engineer what they’ve done???

I’m running Nobara right now for my gaming setup but I’m half tempted to try TW.

Ah okay well I appreciate the response anyways. I’m also struggling to figure how to snapshot my /home since I put it in a different partition during install. Timeshift is “unable to see it”.

How are you taking the snapshot automatically?

OnlyOffice is the only one that I’ve used that has a good looking UI, works out of the box and very good compatibility (across Microsoft and other document standards). Install is just one flatpak away. Highly recommend.

You got it! As long as nginx can reach that service container, it will forward the request to it.

service1.example.com is configured in nginx with a proxy host of service1:1234, service2.example.com is proxied to service2:8080 and so on.

When you created your containers, did you create a “frontend” and “backend” docker network? Typically I create those two networks (or whatever name you want) and connect all my services (gitlab, Wordpress, etc) to the “backend” network then connect nginx to that same “backend” network (so it can talk to the service containers) but I also add nginx to the “frontend” network (typically of host type).

What this does is it allows you to map docker ports to host ports to that nginx container ONLY and since you have added nginx to the network that can talk to the other containers you don’t have to forward or expose any ports that are not required (3000 for gitlab) to talk from the outside world into your services. Your containers will still talk to each other through native ports but only within that “backend” network (which does not have forwarded/mapped ports).

You would want to setup your proxy hosts exactly like you have them in your post except that in your Forward Hostname you would use the container name (gitlab for example) instead of IP.

So basically it goes like this

Internet > gitlab.domain.com > DNS points to your VPS > Nginx receives requests (frontend network with mapped ports like 443:443 or 80:80) > Nginx checks proxy hosts list > forwards request to gitlab container on port 3000 (because nginx and gitlab are both in the same “backend” network) > Log in to Gitlab > Code until your fingers smoke! > Drink coffee

Hope this help!
