So no image pull from docker.io, right?

For your situation I would be more likely to go with a single drive with btrfs and dup for metadata redundancy. Regular snapshots and scrubs.

Use a second drive in the same system with btrfs to store snapshots at wider scheduled intervals. These will be bigger since no CoW on the separate file system. Scheduled scrub here too.

Use a third drive with ext4 as a backup target using a separate backup mechanism.

Use the fourth drive as a spare, or in a separate location as a target to send the backups if you don’t already have an off-site solution.

Funny. I just gave away my desktop with that same chipset & CPU. It was a really good hardware generation.

No plans for a replacement in the near future.

Same. Moved from OpenWRT through OPNsense to Mikrotik. The performance per watt and per dollar is great.

Sorry. That is what I meant.

Zero zombies here. I have a couple of Debian servers and one repeatedly upgraded Ubuntu on noble numbat that I’m too lazy to migrate to Debian. None have zombies.

Do you run a DE? Mine are headless.

Ha! Mine’s the same! My job was dumping them and said take it if you want it. A v1 TP-Link TL-SG105. I don’t think I’ve used mine in at least 10 years but I can’t bear to throw it away.

Classic blue 5-port gigabit switch. Chef’s kiss!

These things will be with us until the heat death of the universe. Still chugging along.
