  • I did it with a raspberry pi 4 and direct installs. If I had it to do over again, I would have a more powerful small server and use docker inages. There are a lot of docker guides out there but I don’t have experience with it yet.

    I had to do a bunch of complicated stuff like mounting my remote storage and such. I’ve been playing with Linux a long time. If you’re not experienced with Linux, I’d do docker.

    You start getting setup with Usenet, gimme a holler and I’ll send you a drunken slug invite. It’s the best indexer I’ve found, and I think I’ve let all my other indexers lapse.

    Do a bunch of reading before you start, before you purchase anything.





  • Been using Linux for around 20yrs. Mostly Ubuntu derivatives. Lots of Xubuntu cause I’m not spending money on fancy hardware that I don’t need. Just grab what’s laying around and use it. Got a 8yr old Chromebook I need to convert.

    Tinylinux or something similar on a '95ish laptop once to read ebooks and play with BBS for shits and giggles around 2010. Kali Linux or some such when playing with TOR. Mainline Ubuntu to build a home media server about a decade ago.

    Been doing a lot with Raspberry Pi Os lite lately as I’ve built a home media server.

    I just Google shit until it works.

    They all mostly work.
