That’s nice, I think I’ll switch from Firefox ESR on Debian!
Crunchbang (#!) linux breathed live into some very wimpy hardware I’ve had in the past.
Loved the minimalism.
Desktop: Macintosh (<X) -> Windows (XP-10) w/occasional Ubuntu dual-boot (various DEs) -> Debian + Gnome
Server: Ubuntu LTS -> Debian
I’ve also had a number of used thinkpads over the years where I mostly ran Xubuntu and crunchbang.
I still boot into Windows every month or so if I need to model something in Rhino (CAD). Couldn’t get it working in Wine and my 12 YO computer isn’t performant enough to run it in a VM. The last thread remaining and waiting to be cut…
I’m also a gnome shell convert. Down with the taskbar!
You can always set watchtower to blindly pull for you. If it’s going to be broken anyways, might as well automate the process.
#! brings back some good memories :)
Am I understanding correctly that you are building the image by copying in key elements from the host machine’s functioning nginx installation?
This is creative but not common approach to docker.
Normally software is installed following the officially documented procedure (imagine installing using apt or a shell script via RUN). Sometimes software documentation has specific recommendations to follow for containerized installs.
It’s common to have the version defined as a variable where a change in value invalidates the docker layer cache. To me it’s unclear how caching would work with your dockerfile, for example, in the event of a upgrade. You could also see how a breaking change (such as one in the paths you are copying) could run into issues with your hardcoded approach.
In the case of software like nginx, I would use the official image, mount config/cert files instead of copying, and extend in my own dockerfile if needed.
What I love about Debian is there are always instructions regardless of whatever random package I want to use or Linux thing I’m trying to do.
Sorry, I did mean under powered.
I’m a big raspi fan but I think the Pi 4 will be overpowered for your needs.

I find Mint to be the most obvious choice for beginners who don’t use Lemmy.
In my experience this only happens when (re)installing Windows, not updating. Can be easily fixed via live USB.
So, I finally decided to ditch Ubuntu for desktop and servers last month and went distro shopping.
In the end, I settled on Debian. My rational was I had already been using Debian under the hood for nearly 20 years and it has treated me well. I’ve really come to appreciate that there is always an abundance of help and documentation compared to some other distros.
In addition to apt, I use flatpaks now.
Installing NVIDIA drivers manually kinda sucks but vanilla Gnome shell is so much nicer than Ubuntu’s Gnome.
Would never touch it personally, but I found your history of Windows piracy in China very interesting!
In the US the license was always bundled with the hardware unless you build your own. I worked for my university’s computer labs IT department and was able to acquire a key that I used for about a decade. Later, also scavenged a key from an old broken laptop, back when they printed it on the bottom, for my current Windows partition. Best to avoid paying for it…
I’ve been using mostly Windows for a desktop and Linux for servers for many years, but 11 is where I have to call it quits. My old friend Debian leads me forward from here :)
Video?
Unpopular choice here but Ubuntu LTS with ubuntu-debullshit (vanilla gnome, replace snap with flatpak).
My main factors:
I’ve had my fun distro hopping in the past but I just want a low maintenance system nowadays.
