what to do with virtual machines?
(lemmy.fmhy.ml)
Hello!, I was wondering (sorry about this, i'm no Einstein) what can one do with a virtual machine? what I mean by that is what cool things could one do? maybe use it to play older games, perhaps even make it a storage medium?. I personally like to use applications/games on vm's (im also love customizing the whole thing, artist impulse). Do any of you have any suggestions? thank you for your input.
oooh! that's actually really neat! so hypothetically, with docker you could set up a server super quick and with jellyfin/navidrome/slskd I can use said server to stream my music and etc to different devices and back? I should try that out! thank you
Yes.
Easiest to use separate containers tho. Jellyfin, Navidrome, Slskd, even Lemmy all provide Docker images just ready to pull. They tend to take up far less space and resources than a VM.
If it's just for personal use I find Tailscale great....no need to worry about opening ports on my home router.
My phone, laptop & rpi server all talk to each other outwith the home network via Tailscale.
ah ok, i'm just looking for a personal shindig myself, i'll look into tailscale, thank you!
