You could be having a baby, that falls into the scope.

It’s amazing they lasted as long as they did considering most people there were selling access to pirated media and the such.

You could have the best of both worlds and then also use GitHub secrets as well. https://github.com/marketplace/actions/deploy-a-portainer-stack

I have used cloudbeats and it works pretty well.

Thats awesome, it seemed like a good pickup for a FPS fan but the lack of linux support in the future stopped me from looking too much at it.

One of my first projects would be to setup a small Linux box that I can ssh into remotely.

Why not just take the next step and setup tailscale? That way you can learn and also not have to worry about setting up a full security stack and everything for your DMZ.
Tailscale will let you create a virtual local network so that you don’t have to expose anything to the internet.

This is pretty cool, make sure you go to the GitHub for it to grab the docker compose file if you want to self host since most of the documentation seems to default to the hosted version.

I always thought the compose file is great for maintenance. You can always save the docker run commands elsewhere so at the end of the day it’s more of an orchestration choice.

They can be. I have a supermicro 2u server that has a 12 disk backplane that I stripped of its original mobo and fans and put in my own gear. Its pretty quiet once you replace all of the stock fans with noctua.

Is that basically just pan fried potatoes, some seasoning, and parmesan?
