Well, i decided to brush up my simple HTML page and created a fully linked wiki on the subject. Please take a look, in the hope it will be useful for at least one fellow one-eyed leg-pegged passionate data hoarder.
Any hints or suggestions is appreciated.
Gentoo is a bit of a weird choice but maybe I am prejudiced from using it as a Desktop environment versus use as a server. But in any case, good to write this up.
And by not using any docker, you can be 100% sure of what you are actually installing. instead of resorting to trust binaries somebody else put together in an opaque container.
Why a weird choice? It’s lightweight and very secure since it doesn’t come with any useless services by default, and i mean it :)
It’s a bit of an uncommon distro for servers but it’s a fine choice. :)
probably just people who don’t want to bother with compiling everything would be my guess
