Can't believe noone mentioned this yet:

Any good password manager encrypts and decrypts your password file client side. The server should not even have the ability to read your passwords.

Even in the case of a leak of all of the server's data, as long as your password for the manager was good, you've got nothing to worry about.

I'd say pick a PW manager where both client and server are open source. Pick a strong passphrase. Enjoy.

Yeah, but no dark magic involved.

  • build image
  • copy to proxmox ISO store
  • import, resize disk
  • start, wait to come online
  • read ssh pubkey, save it
  • rekey secrets
  • rebuild VM

The only "magic" parts are two nix modules for handling proper networking and hardware setup, and exposing required attributes to the script.

Works really well, zero manual config (beyond the services you want to run...) required on nix or proxmox side.

Nothing. People fearmonger

Funny - same thing here. Got 3 proxmox hosts running, all virtual machines are NixOS though.

I'd love to go full Nix, but between my GF and I, we kinda split the responsibilities: hardware is hers, applications are mine. And there's not a chance she'll give up her Proxmox hosts 😄

Got it automated to a single "provision" command though that will spin up any of my nix VMS unanttended, so I'm happy with that.

There so much misogyny oozing out of your comment, I think I'll go disinfect my screen now.

Hope your friend gets convicted for sending unsolicited explicit content 👍

Lol. Living alone does not make you lonely.

Honestly, I'm gappy for my fellow Germans that so many are able to live by themselves! It's a good sign that fewer people need to share rent.

I always sort by new comments.

It's a goddamn stochastic parrot, starting from zero on each invocation and spitting out something passing for coherence according to its training set.

"Not understanding what is happening" in regards to AI is NOT "we don't jniw how it works mechanically" it's "yeah there are so many parameters, it's just not possible to make sense of / keep track of them all".

There's no awareness or thought.

Last place of employment had develop as the default branch. Actually quite liked it. (There also was a main branch, which only got merged into as part of the release flow, so might as well have called it release, I suppose).

Anyway, IMO it communicated "volatile and subject to change" a lot more clearly than things like "head of main" etc

Now THAT is something I wouldn't ever trust.

You misunderstand! It has also turned into basically a hobby (and recently, a job, lol) to manage nix configs.

Those 19k lines are clean, well-structured and DRY, and do describe every little thing about ca. 30 machines.
